Abstract

Blended learning requires digital technology transformation for lecturers and students, up-to-date teaching methods, flexible learning processes, the effectiveness of time, space, budget, learning motivation, learning autonomy, all of which contribute to improving student learning achievement. However, current empirical research results do not support the claim that blended learning improves students' English proficiency and learning autonomy. Evidence shows that the blended learning has an effect on students' English competence, learning autonomy, motivation, and ICT literacy. For this article, the effect of blended learning in ESL/EFL was investigated and defined. This study is a quantitative explanatory research type with a pre-test and post-test design. The research participants were 198 students from the Department of Primary School Teacher Education, Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng. Seventy-four participants were chosen as samples using a random sampling method. Data was taken by test and non-test, and data was then analysed by a software program called SPSS 22.0. Twelve blended learning sessions, including six sessions in face-to-face settings and six sessions, are done virtually through the Zoom application. The results show that blended learning strengthens English student competence (the mean score on the post-test = 82.57), learning autonomy (88.57%), learning motivation (80%), and ICT literacy (71.43%).

Abstract

This research addresses interpersonal communication abilities and the related challenges faced in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms within Indonesian university settings. Knowledge of interpersonal communication influences how EFL learners perform in educational environments that require direct interaction. This study aims to explore students’ interpersonal communication abilities in speaking classes and the challenges they encounter. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between June and July 2023, involving 315 college students from six English Study Programs at six universities across three Indonesian provinces. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews, followed by quantitative analysis. The findings indicate that the respondents’ interpersonal communication profiles were classified as Moderate (Average = 3.26). The most prevalent challenge (Average = 4.6) in developing interpersonal communication skills during speaking courses was difficulty in understanding the pronunciation of their speech partners. These findings are significant for undergraduate students, as they highlight the importance of developing communication skills through communicative competence. EFL learners are encouraged to communicate effectively by focusing on both the micro and macro components of linguistics. These elements are essential to cultivating a more compassionate, dynamic, engaging, functional, and experiential language learning environment, as they complement each other.
