Abstract

Engagement is an important aspect to increase learning outcomes. No matter how great the teaching methods or media are, they will not be optimal without students involvement in the learning process. Data shows that the level of student engagement influences students' grade point average, hereafter GPA. Data was obtained from university students in their second year of undergraduate education who tried to explore the relationship between the GPA obtained by students by comparing it with observation data on their level of engagement with the learning they received. Data shows that students with GPAs at high, moderate and low levels are directly proportional to the level of student engagement in learning. Based on research findings, the factor that could be behind the increase in GPA is that students' learning engagement influences students' level of awareness, curiosity and persistence in learning. So that students with good learning engagement will be aroused by curiosity about a topic, try to find additional information and solutions to solve problems, and be able to persist with the challenges they are trying to solve

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technology has transformed foreign language learning, presenting both opportunities and challenges in understanding language meaning and cultural nuances. This qualitative study explores the role of digital media in the foreign language learning process through the lens of language philosophy, particularly Wittgenstein's language games and Searle's pragmatic theory. Data collected from 20 English education students through interviews and observations highlight the benefits of digital platforms such as Duolingo and YouTube in simplifying linguistic structures and facilitating interactive learning. However, respondents noted limitations in cultural depth and contextual nuance, reflecting the constraints of digital tools in conveying idiomatic expressions and non-verbal cues. The findings underscore the dual nature of digital media as both a facilitator and a constraint in language learning. While virtual platforms like Zoom enhance accessibility and collaborative learning, they often lack the emotional and cultural richness of face-to-face interactions. Respondents expressed optimism about future technologies, envisioning personalized learning environments driven by AI and immersive cultural experiences through virtual reality.The study emphasizes the need for educators to integrate project-based and interactive strategies that balance digital innovation with cultural and contextual engagement. For developers, the findings suggest a focus on adaptive technologies that simulate real-world linguistic and cultural interactions. These insights contribute to understanding language as a social construct mediated by technology, offering practical and theoretical pathways for advancing foreign language education in the digital age.
