Abstract

Technology plays a crucial role in helping students enhance their vocabulary mastery. A lack of attention to proper vocabulary learning during the teaching and learning process can pose challenges. Numerous studies have explored EFL students' perceptions of vocabulary development through technology. However, limited research has examined the influence of gender on students’ attitudes in this context. Therefore, this study aims to investigate EFL students’ attitudes toward English vocabulary enhancement concerning gender differences. An explanatory mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating Davis’ (1993) questionnaire on technology integration in language learning and interviews. Quantitative data were gathered from 72 students and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Additionally, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten participants and examined using thematic analysis. The questionnaire findings indicated that students responded positively to the use and convenience of MALL, with no significant differences observed between male and female students. Moreover, interview results suggested that MALL facilitated vocabulary comprehension and mastery. These findings not only recommend the incorporation of more practical vocabulary learning media but also equip English lecturers with actionable insights to enhance student engagement in the learning process. This study also contributes to English pedagogy by emphasizing the importance of integrating technology into vocabulary learning.

Abstract

A pronunciation-learning attitude is essential to help students improve their pronunciation proficiency. It is problematic when students do not care about learning proper pronunciation in the process of teaching and learning. Several studies have investigated EFL students perceptions toward attitudes of pronunciation learning. However, little research focused on the role of gender on students attitudes in this context. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate students attitudes toward English pronunciation learning related to gender. An explanatory sequential mixed-method approach, integrating questionnaires of Gardner 1985s Attitude Motivation of Test Battery (AMTB) and Elliot 1995s Pronunciation Attitude Inventory (PAI) and interviews, was employed in this study. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to analyse quantitative data gathered from 151 students. For qualitative data, the semi-structured interview transcripts of eighteen participants were analysed using thematic analysis. The questionnaires reveal that the students had positive pronunciation learning attitudes, and no significant differences were found between females and males. Moreover, based on the results of the interviews, the students believed that proper pronunciation learning is important to make the message understood. Reflecting on the study results, it is hoped that English lecturers select more practical pronunciation teaching media that can make students more involved in the teaching and learning process and contribute to English pedagogy about the importance of improving learners positive attitude in pronunciation learning.
