Abstract

To perceive the 21st  century and digital literacy issue,  Instagram  could be one of the solutions to engage learners"™ autonomy in the learning process, especially in speaking performances. However, few studies are concerned with the relationship between speaking performance and learner autonomy. Therefore, this current study intends to know the non-English major students"™ perceptions of the utilization of  Instagram as  digital literacy, their learning autonomy toward  Instagram, and their"™ speaking performances in utilizing  Instagram.  This research used a qualitative approach. The data were obtained through interviews and observations to gather richer and deeper information about the issues. Data were analyzed in three stages: reduction, display, and verification. The study results revealed that understanding the use of digital literacy was basic knowledge for students. It was because the students, as the users of those literacies, could be left behind in their daily activities. Moreover, students believed that blending digital literacy had positive impacts, including increased communication abilities, autonomy awareness, and readiness for future technology needs in the learning process and academic setting. The  Instagram  account was not just ordinary social media, it was not only an influential medium that carried engagement and interactivity among users but also covered interesting ways of serving as a powerful medium for self-expression. As a result,  for students, the utilization of  Instagram  achieved a benefit in enhancing their learners"™ autonomy in the aspects of learners"™ confidence and creativity.

Abstract

Writing academically and reading are parts of literacy that it is embedded in higher education. Therefore, it is important to assess how students’ ability can develop critical thinking regarding specific issues using hedging language. The purpose of this study was to evaluate students' critical thinking skills by looking at how effectively they hedgingly constructed their writings. Moreover, this study also explored the students' viewpoints about the use of hedging in their academic pursuits. This research employed a qualitative approach. The data was collected from students’ essays from the English Department in Surabaya and the results of a semi-structured interview with three students. Hyland (1998) identified eight categories of hedging, which were used in the text analysis. The study's findings demonstrate that students employed the majority of hedging strategies when writing their essays. However, the most used is modal auxiliaries, which focus more on the specific subject being taught and utilize a variety of tools to communicate their ideas. Moreover, it is found that different students provided varied reasons for employing hedging, such as reducing criticism, avoiding precision methods, or maintaining a particular writing style. Overall, the research underscores the multifaceted role of hedging in shaping both the content and perception of students' academic essays.

Abstract

Enhancing University Students’ Extensive Reading Outcomes: Integrating Motivation, Technology, and Collaborative Active Learning. Objective: This study aimed to enhance students’ outcomes in the Extensive Reading course by integrating motivation, technology, and Collaborative Active Learning (CAL) into the learning process. It was conducted in response to low student achievement and to address the research gap, since few studies have comprehensively explored the combined role of motivation, technology, and CAL in improving extensive reading performance. Methods: The study involved 49 third-semester English Education students in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, using a mixed-method approach. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design, along with semi-structured interviews, was employed. The experimental group (n = 25) received the intervention, while the control group (n = 24) followed traditional methods. The intervention lasted for 14 weeks, beginning with a pre-test in week 1, followed by the intervention from weeks 2 to 15, and a post-test in week 16. Interviews were conducted with six purposively selected students (three high-achieving and three low-achieving) to support the quantitative findings. A paired samples t-test was used to analyze the data. Findings: The results showed that the integration of motivation, technology, and collaborative active learning significantly improved students' learning outcomes for the Extensive Reading course in the experimental group (pre-test mean: 41.32; post-test mean: 66.64; p <0.001), while the control group showed no change. Interview data revealed that technology and collaboration enhanced motivation and engagement among students in the experimental group, whereas the control group reported low motivation and limited support. Conclusion: Policymakers should support digital literacy initiatives, teachers should implement collaborative and technology-based reading activities, and universities should integrate these approaches into their curriculum design to enhance the success of extensive reading. Keywords: integration, motivation, technology, collaborative active learning, extensive reading, higher education.
