Abstract

Technology has become essential in education, requiring specialized instructional media tailored to each subject. This study develops a web-based learning system designed specifically for English education, integrating both passive and interactive learning approaches to enhance engagement and effectiveness. This study contributes to showing that passive-interactive English learning websites can help users in both the advanced and non-advanced categories. However, before the system is publicly accessible, system testing focusing on user experience is important to achieve the intended learning objectives. The current study employed the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) framework, consisting of 26 questions across the categories of Attractiveness, Pragmatic, and Hedonic. The UEQ framework has been well-validated and widely used in various studies and professional industries for assessing user experience, ensuring that the user experience scores are objective. The findings showed that the system scored lowest in the “Hedonic” category due to a low “Novelty” score of 1.344, which was 31% lower than the highest score “Attractiveness” at 1.962. Interface that visually appealing and offers fresh, dynamic content, users are more likely to stay engaged.  However, the overall average score across the three UEQ categories for the English learning system was 1.823, indicating a good user experience.

Abstract

Student exchange programs such as Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) offer valuable opportunities for pre-service teachers to gain teaching experience, enhance language skills, and develop intercultural competence. However, limited research has explored participants’ lived experiences and perspectives within these programs. This qualitative study investigated the experiences and perspectives of five Indonesian pre-service English teachers who participated in the MBKM student exchange program for one semester. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion, then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes. The findings revealed that participants experienced notable professional and personal growth. Key experiences included virtual teaching, classroom observations of diverse pedagogical methods, improved English language proficiency, and enhanced cultural adaptability. Participants also articulated their perspectives on the student exchange program across three main dimensions: the program’s definition, its academic and cultural scope, and its perceived significance. They recognized the program as a platform for cross-cultural engagement and professional development. The MBKM student exchange program positively impacted the participants by broadening their pedagogical insight, fostering language development, and strengthening their readiness to teach in diverse contexts. These findings suggest that such programs are instrumental in preparing globally competent educators. This study underscores the value of student exchange initiatives in teacher education. Institutions and policymakers are encouraged to sustain and expand such programs to maximize their benefits for future educators.
