Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if the animation video can enhance students' narrative writing skills at Universitas Borneo Tarakan. This research employed Classroom Action Research as its methodology (CAR). In this study, there were 21 of the sample. An observation checklist, an interview, and a writing test were used in this study. In this study, there were two success criteria. First, students should get at least a 75.0 on their writing assignments. Second, class participation and instructor engagement must both total 80. In this study, the researcher did the analysis of the data using a combination of different methods. Quantitative data analysis was used to evaluate the results of the written tests, while qualitative data analysis was used to evaluate the results of the observation checklist and interviews. This study found that the use of animated videos led to a rise in students' writing scores between the first and second cycles of instruction. Attendance at the first meeting was 33%, and at the second it was at 57%. The attendance rates for the first and second meetings of the second cycle were 52% and 76%, respectively. The outcome of the observation checklist demonstrates the improvement, which can also be seen for itself. Based on the checklist of observable behaviors, it was clear that the training had been effective. From what we can gather from the interviews, using animation videos in the classroom is beneficial and makes both teachers and students happy. The results of this study suggest that having students practice their writing skills with the aid of animated videos can help them achieve better results.

Abstract

The book Less Frequently Used Research Methodologies in Applied Linguistics, edited by A. Mehdi Riazi, explores underutilized research methodologies that offer fresh perspectives in applied linguistics. The book presents a range of approaches, including the multiperspectival approach (MPA), multimodal analysis, conversation analysis, grounded theory, phenomenology, narrative inquiry, and the repertory grid technique. Each chapter provides both theoretical foundations and practical applications, such as MPA’s use in art and design communication, multimodal analysis in embodied teaching and textbooks, and conversation analysis in studying avoidance strategies. Grounded theory is examined in the context of extensive reading, while phenomenology sheds light on EFL learners’ experiences of maintaining foreign language proficiency. Narrative inquiry is demonstrated through case studies from Senegal, and the repertory grid technique is explored for its potential in linguistic research. The volume concludes with a critical discussion of the challenges and contributions of these lesser-used methodologies, advocating for their broader adoption. By showcasing these alternative approaches, the book serves as a valuable resource for researchers seeking to expand their methodological repertoire in applied linguistics.

Abstract

The primary objectives of this study were to (1) assess the effectiveness of a Mobile Augmented Reality (AR)-based English learning program and (2) provide a human-centered analysis of students lived experiences within this innovative pedagogical setting. This work fills a critical research gap where much of the existing literature on AR in language learning emphasizes quantifiable results at the expense of students' subjective experiences and challenges. Utilizing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, this study quantified English proficiency improvements and explored student experiences (interviews/observations). 173 diverse students engaged with a Mobile AR program featuring interactive 3D visualizations and customized content to enhance overall English, vocabulary, and grammar skills. The primary outcomes revealed a statistically significant and practically substantial positive impact of the AR intervention across all English language proficiency measures (p < 0.001; Cohen's d > 1.95; N-gain 0.74-0.75). Qualitative findings indicated that Mobile AR significantly enhanced comprehension through visualization, substantially increased learning interest and immersion, and fostered a deeper understanding of English's practical relevance through major-specific content. However, students reported challenges, notably technical issues such as device compatibility problems and occasional unstable internet connectivity. Future research should prioritize optimizing AR integration strategies and infrastructure development for wider, sustainable pedagogical application
