Online learning has been popular to keep learners engaged and enhanced their reading comprehension. This study investigates the effectiveness of using online gamification-based Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve learners' reading comprehension, motivation, and engagement. The research was conducted in an online English course for 30 undergraduate EFL learners. The course incorporated gamification elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards within the TBLT framework to encourage active participation and reading comprehension. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, focusing on students' performance, motivation, and engagement during the course. The findings revealed that gamification-based TBLT significantly enhanced learners' motivation and engagement by fostering a sense of achievement through rewards. Learners showed improved reading comprehension, demonstrating a better ability to understand, summarize, and analyze texts. Immediate feedback adjust students with strategies and improve their performance in real-time, while the collaborative nature of the gamified environment promoted social interaction and peer learning. The study concludes that gamification-based TBLT is an effective approach to enhancing reading comprehension in online learning environments. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of gamification on learner retention and the impact of task complexity on advanced learners.

This study examines veterinary students’ perceptions and reading comprehension of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) texts in veterinary science. The subjects were 60 undergraduate veterinary students who participated in the study by responding to a 20-item questionnaire that assessed four dimensions: relevance, perceived difficulty, reading strategies, and text format. The students also completed an eight-item reading comprehension test based on authentic veterinary texts. The findings showed that students generally held positive perceptions toward the ESP materials, particularly in terms of text format and support, while still acknowledging linguistic challenges related to vocabulary and sentence structure. The average reading comprehension score was 5.5 out of 8, indicating a moderate level of understanding. Correlation analysis revealed weak but statistically significant positive relationships between perceptions of relevance (r = 0.26, p < .05) and difficulty (r = 0.28, p < .05) with reading comprehension performance. These results highlight that while veterinary students recognize the importance of ESP reading materials, pedagogical interventions are necessary to enhance comprehension outcomes. The study underscores the importance of scaffolding techniques, vocabulary support, and structured pre-reading activities in ESP courses for veterinary students.ed pre-reading activities in ESP courses for veterinary students

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of an audio-based Student Textbook and Lecture Guide for the Business and Office English course in the Office Administration Education Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas negeri Surabaya that address the lack of updated course-aligned teaching materials. Method: This study used Research and Development approach with ADDIE instructional design model, but the process was limited to the implementation stage after wider-scale trials and revisions. The product was validated by a material expert and a media expert, followed by student try-outs using questionnaires (small group of 10 students and large group of 40 students from the 2023 cohort). Results: Needs analysis showed the program had no updated textbook aligned with the semester lesson plan; learning relied mainly on lecturer-made PowerPoints and conventional instruction considered less effective for achieving course outcomes. Expert validation indicated the material aspect was feasible with an average score 67 and the media aspect was highly feasible with average score 86. Student responses in the large-group trial showed an overall average score of 94 considered as highly feasible, supporting its use as a learning resource. Novelty: This study provides practical evidence that integrating audio-based exercises into a course-specific textbook and lecture guide based on semester lesson plan and Merdeka curriculum highly feasible model for supporting independent practice in Business and Office English for non-English department.
