Abstract

The use of digital technology in English language learning is becoming increasingly important to improve student engagement and learning quality. However, the use of Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) in English classes has not always been accompanied by optimal pedagogical use. This study aims to analyze the pedagogical use of Interactive Flat Panels in English language learning at the senior high school level, identify their pedagogical benefits, and reveal the obstacles faced by teachers in their implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a classroom-based study design. Data were collected through learning observations, interviews with English teachers, and documentation of learning activities. The results show that IFPs are used to display video materials, presentations, listening exercises, and digital-based interactive games that increase student participation and engagement. However, limited technical understanding and the need for repeated training are major challenges for teachers. This study concludes that effective use of IFPs requires teachers' pedagogical readiness and support for continuous professional development.

Abstract

Ice breaking is one of the pedagogical strategies used to create a conducive learning atmosphere and maintain student motivation. This study aims to analyze teachers' and students' perceptions of the use of ice breaking in learning and its contribution to learning motivation. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Kota Tanjungbalai, involving 48 teachers and 36 students. Data were collected through classroom observation, open and semi-open questionnaires, interviews, and supporting documentation, then analyzed using thematic descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that students had a positive perception of ice breaking because it created a more relaxed learning atmosphere, increased focus, and generated enthusiasm for learning. Teachers viewed ice breaking as a classroom management strategy that helped maintain student readiness and engagement, although its implementation still varied. This study concluded that ice breaking contributed positively to learning motivation when planned proportionally and adapted to classroom conditions
