Abstract

The use of blended learning has become increasingly important in higher education, particularly in language courses that require contextual understanding. This study investigates the implementation of blended learning in the Pragmatics course at the Business English Communication (BEC) program and examines its impact on students’ learning experience, engagement, and academic achievement. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving six BEC students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that blended learning is implemented through a combination of face-to-face instruction and online activities, which provides learning flexibility and supports students’ understanding of pragmatic concepts. Most students reported positive learning experiences, increased engagement, and improvements in academic performance and pragmatic skills, although some challenges related to online interaction were identified. In conclusion, blended learning contributes positively to the learning process and academic achievement of BEC students in the Pragmatics course when effectively integrated with both online and face-to-face components.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of social media utilization as an informal learning source on the digital business English communication competence of Business English Communication (BEC) students at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). Framed within the paradigm of Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) and online informal language learning (OILL), this descriptive correlational study employed a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 82 active BEC students across multiple academic cohorts. The instrument comprised 10 items measuring social media-based informal learning behaviors (Variable X) and 10 items assessing digital business English communication competence (Variable Y). Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship and predictive contribution of the independent variable. Results revealed a positive and statistically significant correlation between social media utilization as an informal learning source and digital business English communication competence (r = 0.582, p < 0.001). Regression analysis yielded a model of Y = 12.725 + 0.523X (R² = 0.339, p < 0.001), indicating that informal social media learning accounts for 33.9% of the variance in students’ communication competence. TikTok emerged as the most frequently utilized platform (51.2%), followed by Instagram (30.5%) and YouTube (13.4%). These findings confirm that social media constitutes a meaningful informal learning ecosystem for Business English development and carry implications for curriculum integration in BEC programs.
