Abstract

This study examines the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in English language learning as a means to enhance students' language literacy in Indonesia, particularly in response to the low literacy levels reported by PISA. The primary challenge addressed is the lack of understanding and ability among students to evaluate texts, largely due to limited access to interactive and practical learning resources. The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of ICT on improving various aspects of language literacy, including reading comprehension, information connection, and text evaluation skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that ICT usage significantly improves students’ language literacy, especially in text comprehension and analysis. Based on previous studies and current technological applications, ICT has proven to be effective in enhancing both English language learning and literacy development. With greater accessibility, increased interactivity, and the support of innovative tools, ICT offers a more modern and effective alternative to traditional teaching methods. In conclusion, despite challenges related to access and distribution, ICT plays a positive and influential role in supporting the development of students’ language literacy.

Abstract

Despite being largely regarded as a foreign language; English plays an undeniably significant part in Palembang's economy and educational system. Contrarily, research reveals that English proficiency among Palembang pupils’ declines. This article details a study that looked at how much EFL English majors at PGRI Palembang University improved their ability to write argumentative essays after being subjected to genre-based writing exercises with their writing instructors. The findings showed that students consistently struggled to criticize or refute opposing viewpoints and come up with more powerful rebuttals, even after being exposed to the preparation of genre-based argumentative essays. However, they were able to demonstrate development in their ability to recognize the rhetorical structures (genres) and lexicon-grammatical characteristics of the full argumentative essay. The strategy received favourable feedback from the participants. The paired sample t-test also revealed that students' post-intervention argumentative texts significantly outperformed their pre-intervention drafts. It is commonly accepted that students may regulate the linguistic aspects of the type of text with a specific communicative aim and comfortably enhance their writing skills by studying through a genre-based approach to writing. The consequences for teaching writing in an EFL setting are demonstrated in this essay. Additionally, it urges the adoption of a genre approach in EFL writing classes.
