Abstract

A staple issue in English language teaching is the fact that individual students in formal classrooms usually have minimal opportunity to speak due to large class sizes. Recent studies have vouched language laboratories to be capable of overcoming this barrier. As far as the researchers know, no study has launched a wide investigation whether a language laboratory exists and is used to optimise the English learning in the Islamic schools in Majene, Indonesia. This research applies descriptive quantitative design, involving 22 Islamic schools in the level of junior high school. 22 English teachers that represents all the schools filled a questionnaire to provide the data. It is found that the Islamic schools at Majene do not yet have a language laboratory even though the English teachers consider it important. Its absence is influenced by the lack of support from leaders. As a result, listening practice activities are rarely carried out. English teachers only carry out practical activities in the classroom with limited tools and materials. This research illuminates a concern for policy makers in the Ministry of Religious Affairs in the field of Islamic school education and the principals to hold a language laboratory at Islamic Schools. To improve English learning activities, the existence of a language laboratory in Islamic schools is matter, so that students at Islamic schools can show their quality in foreign language mastery and compete with others.

Abstract

This study investigates innovative strategies and challenges in online grammar instruction within the English Language Education Department at IAIN Parepare, Indonesia. As digital learning becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, the research focuses on the experiences of 40 students and 5 online grammar instructors. Through a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys of all 40 students and in-depth interviews with the 5 tutors, this study investigates the adaptation of traditional grammar teaching methods to digital platforms. Key findings reveal that interactive tools, gamification, and personalized learning paths significantly enhance student engagement and comprehension in online grammar lessons. However, challenges such as varying levels of digital literacy among students, maintaining consistent motivation in virtual environments, and the limitations of asynchronous communication emerge as significant hurdles. The study concludes by proposing a tailored framework for effective online grammar instruction at IAIN Parepare, emphasizing the integration of culturally relevant multimedia resources, collaborative learning activities, and adaptive assessment techniques. These insights contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital pedagogy in Indonesian higher education and offer practical implications for educators navigating the complexities of online language instruction in similar institutional settings.

Abstract

The most appropriate period for learning a new language is considered the early childhood period, when children can learn languages easily and instinctively without, for instance, having to go through tedious textbooks. The objective of this review is to identify the best practices aimed at fostering foreign language acquisition by drawing upon previous empirical studies. The results indicate that the children's language skill development is greatly enhanced when the learning process is made fun through playful activities, and the singing and telling of stories. Structured approaches such as Total Physical Response (TPR), bilingual education, and even the active participation of the parents in the home language environment have been noted to foster language learning as well. Supporting early childhood learners and teachers with creativity and flexible instruction tailored to the rapidly growing characteristics of the children results in effective language acquisition, hence emerges as a key pillar on guiding principles towards successful language mastery. This review indicates that purposely designed instruction towards learners in their early years enhances teaching effectiveness yielding improved results while the use of active, direct, and fun-filled strategies yields better results in mastering languages.
