Abstract

Mandarin Chinese has become increasingly important in higher education in Indonesia, yet many university students experience low motivation and limited speaking fluency due to linguistic complexity and anxiety in oral communication. This study aims to examine the impact of Game-Based Language Learning on students’ learning motivation and speaking fluency in Mandarin Chinese. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, involving sixty Indonesian university students enrolled in Mandarin courses. Data were collected through motivation questionnaires, standardized speaking fluency tests, and classroom observations, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential tests, and qualitative thematic analysis. The findings reveal that students who participated in game-based learning activities demonstrated significantly higher motivation levels and greater improvements in speaking fluency compared to those receiving conventional instruction. Game-based activities reduced speaking anxiety, increased participation, and provided meaningful opportunities for spontaneous oral practice. The study concludes that Game-Based Language Learning is an effective pedagogical approach for enhancing both affective and communicative aspects of Mandarin speaking instruction. Integrating structured game-based activities into university Mandarin programs can support learner engagement, improve oral fluency, and address persistent challenges in foreign language learning contexts. These findings offer practical implications for curriculum design and innovative language pedagogy development.

Abstract

Traditional pesantren remain one of the most influential and enduring educational institutions in Indonesia, yet many continue to operate with limited technological infrastructure. The rapid digital transformation in the national education system has intensified the need for pesantren to adopt low-cost, context-appropriate EdTech solutions to strengthen santri autonomy, digital literacy, and readiness for 21st-century learning demands. The research is grounded in the recognition that pesantren face structural barriers—including financial constraints, low teacher digital capacity, and limited access to digital devices—that hinder their participation in broader educational innovations. These gaps highlight the urgency of developing affordable, scalable, and culturally compatible digitalization strategies. The study aims to design and evaluate a low-cost EdTech development model tailored to pesantren environments, focusing on enhancing self-regulated learning, digital skills, and instructional efficiency. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining needs assessment surveys, classroom observations, interviews with kyai and ustadz, and prototype testing of low-cost digital learning tools such as offline learning apps, modular LMS platforms, and open-source interactive media. The results indicate that low-cost EdTech integration significantly improves santri autonomy, with notable increases in self-directed learning scores and digital skill acquisition. Teachers report reduced workload and improved lesson organization, while santri demonstrate greater engagement through blended and peer-supported digital activities. Prototype testing shows that even minimal technological interventions—such as offline content repositories and basic digital task modules—yield substantial pedagogical benefits. The study concludes that digitalizing traditional pesantren does not require high-cost technological investments; rather, effective change emerges from strategic, culturally aligned, and scalable EdTech designs. Strengthening teacher training, developing open-source digital resources, and building sustainable school-level technology governance are essential for long-term implementation.
