Abstract

This study aimed to explore students' cognitive engagement during the learning of Passive Voice through Educaplay's Froggy Jump feature within a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) environment. A qualitative case study design was employed involving five Grade XI students and one English teacher at a senior high school in Cirebon, Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed four interconnected dimensions of cognitive engagement: deep learning strategies, self-regulation, mental effort and persistence, and strategic problem solving. Students actively analyzed grammatical structures, monitored their understanding, sustained cognitive effort despite learning difficulties, and developed strategies to solve Passive Voice tasks collaboratively. The study concludes that gamified MALL fosters meaningful cognitive engagement when supported by teacher scaffolding and peer interaction. These findings imply that English teachers should integrate gamified mobile learning with reflective and collaborative instructional practices to promote deeper grammar learning and higher-order thinking.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how TED Talks contribute to the development of EFL college students' critical listening skills by examining their learning experiences and perceptions of analyzing, interpreting, and evaluating authentic spoken English. A qualitative descriptive design was employed involving 26 undergraduate English Education students at an Indonesian university. Data were collected through Likert-scale and open-ended questionnaires, followed by semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected participants. The data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model supported by descriptive statistics. The findings revealed four interconnected themes: TED Talks promoted analytical listening by improving students' ability to identify main ideas and discourse organization; enhanced interpretation of spoken messages through contextual reasoning and repeated listening; encouraged critical evaluation by examining arguments and supporting evidence; and fostered self-regulated learning through strategic use of subtitles, replaying videos, and vocabulary searches. Overall, TED Talks functioned as authentic digital learning resources that strengthened critical listening and learner autonomy. These findings imply that integrating TED Talks into EFL listening instruction can effectively promote higher-order thinking and independent learning.
