Abstract

Using a quantitative methodology, this study examined the effects of academic achievement, student motivation, and engagement on the use of technology in English language instruction at a high school in North Sumatra, Indonesia. A sample of 200 students was examined using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) in order to investigate the relationship between academic achievement, student engagement, motivation, and technology integration. The findings showed a strong correlation between academic performance, motivation, and engagement with technological integration. A mediation analysis revealed how important student motivation and engagement are in bridging the gap between technology and academic achievement. The results of the bootstrapping study were more reliable, and the proposed model's explanatory strength and predictive significance were highlighted by the R2 and Q2 values. There includes a discussion of the implications for English instruction, along with some helpful suggestions and directions for further investigation.

Abstract

Filsafat adalah landasan pengetahuan dan merupakan teori tentang pendidikan. Salah satu aspek praktis dari teori ini adalah pendidikan. Karena hubungan ini, filsafat berfungsi sebagai dasar untuk semua aspek Pendidikan. Filsafat analitik menggali dasar-dasar teori setiap ilmu. Khususnya, filsafat analitik berkonsentrasi pada analisis logika bahasa sehari-hari dan pembentukan sistem bahasa buatan. Suatu pola berpikir analisis-sintesis yang didasarkan pada langkah-langkah tertentu (metode ilmiah/penelitian) menghasilkan pemikiran analitis. Filsafat bahasa sangat penting dalam mengembangkan ilmu bahasa. Fokus filsafat bahasa ini adalah ungkapan bahasa yang memiliki arti. Karena peran filsafat bahasa dalam perkembangan bahasa, banyak kata baru, sinonim, struktur kalimat, singkatan (akronim), dan kaidah muncul. Ini semua karena ilmu pengetahuan saat ini semakin berkembang dan banyak paradigma baru muncul. Bahasa adalah subjek yang menarik untuk penelitian filsafat.

Abstract

This study investigates gender-based differences in students’ preferences and experiences with interactive quiz platforms Quizizz and Kahoot among English Tadris students at STAIN Mandailing Natal. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved 30 participants, equally divided by gender (15 male and 15 female students), selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis, then analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework. Four primary themes guided the analysis: ease of use, technical and accessibility features, learning motivation, and material comprehension. Findings indicate that while both male and female students preferred Quizizz for its intuitive design and support for self-paced learning, notable gender differences emerged in motivation and usage patterns. Male students favored Kahoot due to its competitive features, such as real-time leaderboards and time-bound questions, which enhanced engagement and fostered a stimulating classroom environment. Conversely, female students valued Quizizz’s calm, flexible learning experience, which minimized anxiety and allowed for deeper understanding through repeated practice and instant feedback. The results suggest that gender plays a critical role in shaping students’ engagement with educational technologies, particularly those that integrate gamification elements. The study highlights the importance of aligning technological tools with learners’ individual preferences to optimize engagement and learning outcomes. Practical implications point to the need for more inclusive and adaptive instructional strategies when integrating digital platforms in EFL settings. Future research is recommended to explore larger samples and diverse educational contexts for broader generalizability.

Abstract

AbstrakKegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan membekali Putera-Puteri Pariwisata Mandailing Natal 2023 dengan keterampilan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris yang diperlukan untuk secara efektif berkontribusi pada pengembangan pariwisata dan promosi budaya lokal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini juga bertujuan untuk memotivasi para peserta untuk mengevaluasi kemampuan berbahasa Inggris mereka, mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, menemukan solusi, serta merumuskan misi dan visi mereka dalam upaya peningkatan kemampuan berbahasa asing dan promosi budaya lokal. Rangkaian pengabdian terdiri dari tiga tahapan, yaitu penilaian mandiri dan pengisian umpan balik terbuka, presentasi materi, serta evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil penilaian mandiri menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas peserta memiliki preferensi untuk berkomunikasi secara lisan dalam bahasa asing dibandingkan secara tertulis, dengan rasa tidak percaya diri dan kompleksitas tata bahasa Inggris di antara tantangan utama yang dihadapi peserta dalam meningkatkan keterampilan mereka. Melalui pemaparan materi tentang peranan dan manfaat bahasa Inggris sebagai lingua franca beserta tips dan trik belajar dan mengatasi kesulitan belajar, peserta mampu merumuskan dan mempresentasikan upaya-upaya yang akan mereka tempuh dalam meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa asing dan mempromosikan budaya dan pariwisata lokal Mandailing Natal. Tiga peserta dengan presentasi terbaik berdasarkan rubrik penilaian presentasi kemudian dipilih. Hasil evaluasi kegiatan, selain menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan yang tinggi dari peserta terhadap pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, juga menggarisbawahi perlunya dukungan berkelanjutan dalam program-program yang memberdayakan individu muda untuk menjadi duta budaya yang efektif, sehingga memastikan pelestarian dan promosi warisan budaya Mandailing Natal untuk generasi mendatang. Kata kunci: putera puteri pariwisata; mandailing natal; budaya lokal; bahasa inggris; lingua franca. AbstractThis community service initiative aimed to equip the 2023 Mandailing Natal Tourism Ambassadors with the English communication skills needed to effectively contribute to tourism development and promote local culture. The program also sought to motivate the participants to evaluate their English proficiency, identify challenges in learning English, find solutions, and establish their mission and vision to improve their foreign language skills and promote local culture. The series of activities consists of three stages, which include self-assessment and open feedback, material presentation, and program evaluation. The self-assessment results showed that most participants prefer oral communication in a foreign language over written communication, with lack of confidence and English grammar complexity being the main challenges they face in improving their skills. Through a presentation on the role and benefits of English as a lingua franca, as well as learning tips and strategies for overcoming language-learning difficulties, the participants were able to formulate and present their planned efforts to improve foreign language skills and promote Mandailing Natal’s local culture and tourism. Three participants with the best presentations, based on a presentation rubric, were then selected. The program evaluation results, besides showing a high level of participant satisfaction, also highlighted the need for ongoing support in programs that empower young individuals to become effective cultural ambassadors, thereby ensuring the preservation and promotion of Mandailing Natal’s rich cultural heritage for future generations. Keywords: tourism ambassadors; mandailing natal; local culture; english; lingua franca.
