Abstract

Blended learning, which combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning, has gained significant attention in language education due to its potential to enhance flexibility and engagement. Despite its growing popularity, there is limited comparative research on the effectiveness of different blended learning models in language instruction. This study addresses this gap by examining the impact of various blended learning approaches on language learning outcomes. The research aims to compare the effectiveness of different blended learning models in language instruction, focusing on their impact on learner engagement, language proficiency, and satisfaction. It seeks to identify best practices for integrating online and face-to-face components to optimize language learning experiences. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 200 language learners divided into three groups, each experiencing a different blended learning model. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, surveys, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical software, while qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the flipped classroom model significantly improved learner engagement and language proficiency compared to other models. Participants in the flipped classroom group reported higher satisfaction levels and greater confidence in using the target language. However, all blended learning models showed positive outcomes, suggesting that the integration of online and face-to-face components enhances language learning.

Abstract

The Financial Literacy Program for Housewives in Rubber Plantation Village aims to improve understanding and skills in family financial management, especially among housewives vulnerable to income fluctuations. This activity was conducted online through the Zoom application and attended by 50 housewives. The methods include three-month interactive training, group discussions, and post-training mentoring. The results of the initial Survey showed that most participants did not have a monthly budget plan (80%), did not save regularly (70%), and did not understand the importance of debt management and insurance (85%). After the training, there was a significant increase in understanding and practice of financial management. As many as 65% of participants started preparing a monthly budget, 55% saved regularly, and 45% understood how to manage debt wisely. Although there are challenges in implementing financial literacy, especially related to income instability, this program has proven effective in increasing awareness and financial management skills. The final Survey also showed increased awareness of the importance of emergency funds and long-term financial plans, although the percentage is still relatively low. With this program, it is hoped that housewives in rubber plantation villages can be more independent and resilient and manage family finances better amid economic uncertainty
