Abstract

This study examines the usability of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based learning medium entitled Im Krankenhaus in A2-level German language learning at Universitas Negeri Malang. The study responds to the need for contextual and immersive learning media that support situational communication, particularly in healthcare-related contexts. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 20 students from the German Language Education Study Program. Data were collected using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The results showed that the Im Krankenhaus VR medium achieved a mean SUS score of 70.5, placing it in the acceptable category with a Grade B classification. This indicates that the medium demonstrates a good level of usability and is suitable for German language learning. Item-level analysis revealed strong learnability, as participants perceived the system as easy to use and easy to learn. Furthermore, participants’ willingness to reuse the VR medium reflected a positive level of satisfaction, indicating a favorable user experience and increased confidence during interaction with the system. However, some participants still required assistance and an adaptation period during initial use. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the usability of VR-based media in German language learning within a healthcare communication context. The findings suggest that VR has considerable potential as an immersive and contextual learning medium, particularly when accompanied by adequate user orientation and guidance.

Abstract

Self-repair is correcting a sentence's structure or meaning and rewording it to provide more specific information. Exploring the use of self-repair in learners is important as a potential indicator of language attrition in second-language learning. Self-repair can solve misunderstandings and clarify the speaker’s intention. It also allows students to repair their errors without the teacher’s involvement. Previous studies of self-repair in Japanese mostly investigate learners in formal institutions. However, research on using Japanese learners in non-formal institutions is limited. This study investigates the types and the changes in the self-repair of Indonesian Japanese learners’ speaking over a five-month training program in a Vocational Training Institution (LPK). This study used a mixed method, which combined quantitative and qualitative. Participants of this study were 10 Indonesian Japanese learners at an LPK in West Java, Indonesia. The instruments through a monologue speaking task were given at the beginning and end of the training program. The results showed that morphological change is the most frequent self-repair used by learners. However, the least used self-repair at the beginning and end of the training program was different. At the beginning of the training program, the least used self-repair was a phonological change, while at the end, there were phonological and lexical changes. This study showed a tendency for a reduced frequency of self-repair with increased proficiency. This study provided a learning strategy and contributed to developing a curriculum and teaching method that is more effective in improving learners' speaking skills, especially in preparing for work in Japan. However, this study only examines self-repair using monologue speaking tasks with familiar topics. Future studies should investigate self-repair using additional task designs to deepen insights into developmental patterns.
