Abstract

This study investigated the impact of the Free4Talk online language platform on enhancing university students' English speaking skills. Using a quantitative descriptive approach with a total sampling method of 50 participants, the research employed a speaking test to evaluate university students' English speaking skills. Data analysis using Partial Least Square (PLS) methodology revealed a significant positive effect of Free4Talk usage on students' speaking skills (t-statistic = 17.140, p < 0.05). The platform demonstrated substantial influence across all speaking components, with particularly strong effects on fluency (loading factor = 0.907) and grammar (loading factor = 0.903). The R² value of 0.637 indicates that 63.7% of the variation in students' speaking skills can be attributed to Free4Talk usage. The findings denoted that Free4Talk serves as an effective tool for enhancing university students' English speaking capabilities by providing authentic interaction opportunities and immediate feedback mechanisms. The descriptive analysis further illustrates patterns of language development across different speaking components, offering insights into how virtual language exchange platforms can be optimally integrated into EFL education.

Abstract

Media sosial sudah menjadi bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat, termasuk bagi Mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Sebagai mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan, mereka semestinya dapat menerapkan literasi informasi dan media dalam kesehariannya. Namun tidak dipungkiri terdapat pula yang kurang hati-hati dalam memilah dan menyebarkan informasi, seperti menyebarkan informasi yang mengandung penipuan dan yang dapat menyinggung perasaan sesama mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keterampilan literasi media sosial mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu teori literasi media baru dari Jenkins et al. yang terdiri dari dua belas kemampuan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Sedangkan teknik analisis data dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan, yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan/verifikasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan keterampilan literasi media sosial ditemui di kalangan mahasiswa Ilmu Perpustakaan UIN Sumatera Utara Medan. Dari dua belas kemampuan literasi media sosial, hampir semua kemampuannya minimal sudah cukup dikuasai oleh informan. Beberapa kemampuan pada dasarnya juga telah dimiliki oleh informan, seperti play, appropriation, judgment, networking, dan negotiation. Selain kemampuan yang sudah cukup dikuasai, terdapat pula kemampuan yang terlihat tidak dikuasai oleh informan, yakni performance dan transmedia navigation. Jadi, meskipun terdapat kemampuan yang bisa dikatakan cukup dikuasai, informan tetap perlu memaksimalkan kemampuannya dalam berliterasi media sosial.

Abstract

Social media advancement has affected various aspects of human life. The existence of Social media has made it easier for people, especially in the educational realm. Social media is one technology that can be used for socializing (communicating individually, in groups, etc.) between users. Despite the multifaceted functions of social media, it also serves as a learning medium with advantages and disadvantages for certain pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. This research aims to identify the pros and cons of using social media in teaching English, understand the perceptions of pre-service EFL teachers regarding learning through social media, and compare social media as a learning medium to other online learning platforms. The study involved five pre-service EFL teachers from a senior high school in North Sumatra. Researchers employed a qualitative methodology, designing the research to conduct interviews with the participants, focusing on their responses to derive meaningful results. According to the pre-service EFL teachers involved in the study, using social media in teaching English is perceived as easy, comfortable, flexible, creative, and enjoyable. These positive aspects highlight social media's benefits to the teaching and learning process in the context of English instruction.

Abstract

This qualitative case study addresses the understudied interplay between students' diverse VARK learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) and their engagement with an integrated AI-powered speaking platform, Practica AI, within the Indonesian socio-cultural context. The research was driven by the practical observation of varied learning outcomes among students using the same AI tool, suggesting a critical mediating role of individual learning styles. Conducted over three months at SMA Sukma Bangsa Lhokseumawe, the study employed a descriptive case study design with six purposefully selected 10th-grade participants representing a spectrum of VARK profiles. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, participant reflective journals, and document analysis (VARK questionnaires, app logs). Thematic analysis revealed three primary findings. First, learning styles functioned not as static labels but as dynamic strategic identities; students consciously curated personalized learning pathways by selectively navigating and combining Practica AI's multimodal features. Second, the study conceptualizes a critical "affordance-accessibility gap," where the effectiveness of a technological feature is contingent upon its alignment with the user's cognitive style, rendering the same feature a strength for one learner and a point of friction for another. Third, the research documents the significant cultural practice of "socializing the interface," where students collectively transformed the individualistic AI tool into a collaborative learning experience through peer comparison and shared scenario analysis, aligning with the local gotong royong (mutual assistance) ethos. Crucially, the study elucidates how these style-mediated experiences indirectly contribute to speaking skill improvement by fostering metacognitive awareness, reducing anxiety, and enabling targeted micro-skill practice. The study concludes that the efficacy of AI in language learning is co-constructed through the negotiation of intrinsic cognitive preferences, technological design, and the socio-cultural learning context. It underscores the urgent need for pedagogical strategies that foster metacognitive awareness and for instructional designs that are not only multimodal but also culturally responsive.

Abstract

Bilingual learning has been increasingly implemented in Indonesian secondary schools to enhance students’ English proficiency and global competitiveness; however, its classroom implementation remains uneven and challenging. This study aims to explore the challenges, instructional strategies, and human impacts of bilingual learning in everyday school practices. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted at SMPS Iskandar Muda Aceh Utara through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, and school administrators. The findings reveal that bilingual learning encounters interconnected challenges at multiple levels, including students’ limited academic English proficiency, teachers’ pedagogical and linguistic constraints, and insufficient institutional and policy support. Although many students demonstrate conceptual understanding, they often struggle to articulate academic ideas in English, while teachers struggle to balance content mastery and language use. To address these challenges, teachers and schools adopt adaptive strategies such as code-switching, scaffolding, flexible language practices, and gradual implementation of bilingual instruction. Beyond instructional outcomes, the study highlights significant human impacts, particularly on students’ motivation, socio-emotional development, and classroom engagement. Initial anxiety and hesitation are commonly observed; however, supportive instructional practices foster increased confidence, resilience, and active participation over time. This study concludes that bilingual learning should be understood not merely as a technical instructional model, but as a human-centered educational practice shaped by linguistic readiness, emotional dynamics, and institutional context.
