Abstract

Listening skills are a fundamental component of language proficiency, particularly in higher education where critical listening plays a central role. However, these skills are often underemphasized in traditional teaching contexts, prompting educators to adopt innovative digital platforms. This study explores the implementation of Discord in a hybrid critical listening course conducted throughout a semester within the International Class Program at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University of Malang. Grounded in the Integrative Listening Model, the research employed a descriptive qualitative design, utilizing classroom observation checklists, field notes, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 40 students. The findings indicate that at the comprehension level, the structured and timely distribution of materials through Discord channels enhanced student readiness and engagement. At the interpretation level, features such as video conferencing, breakout rooms, and audiovisual resources facilitated deeper understanding, allowing students to make inferences more effectively. At the evaluation level, real-time interaction and feedback during discussions supported critical analysis of content. Notably, student performance showed observable improvements in critical listening tasks, as reflected in increased participation rates and higher quality of responses in listening assessments. Despite occasional technical issues like unstable internet connections. The hybrid model which integrated synchronous and asynchronous learning, proved adaptable and effective. The study concludes that Discord, when aligned with a well-structured instructional design and supported by the Integrative Listening Model, can significantly promote critical listening competence in higher education. Future research may examine comparative effectiveness across different digital platforms and explore long-term impacts on listening proficiency development.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of the internet has prompted people to embrace digital platforms for language acquisition. Language learning environments now exist in both physical classrooms and virtual spaces. Therefore, listening skills, which are an important component of language proficiency, especially in higher education can be effectively taught through a medium such as Discord, a new and useful digital learning tool. The primary aim of this study is to explore students’ voices regarding the use of Discord to enhance critical listening proficiency. To gather meaningful data, a descriptive qualitative design was employed using instruments such as classroom observation checklists, field notes, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The study involved 20 students enrolled in the International Class Program at Maulana Malik Ibrahim Islamic State University Malang. The findings revealed that Discord facilitates the organization of systematic materials, provides features supporting both offline and online learning, encourages the design of new interactive educational activities, and enables immediate responses that promote dynamic discussions. The implication of this study suggests that Discord can be adopted as an effective supplementary platform for developing students’ listening skills and fostering collaborative learning in digital language classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate an Islamic-based English speaking textbook as an identity-responsive instructional model, defined as a pedagogical approach that integrates learners’ cultural and spiritual identities into CEFR-oriented communicative speaking tasks. This research employed an educational research and development design using the ADDIE model. The textbook was designed, validated, and implemented through pre- and post-tests of CEFR A2–B1 speaking tasks, student questionnaires, classroom observations, and after-class interviews involving 58 students and lecturers at SKM Islamic University. Spiritual identity engagement was examined through thematic analysis supported by indicators of importance, ease, and involvement demonstrated during speaking activities. Expert validation was conducted to evaluate linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and content quality. Statistical results show notable improvements in students’ speaking performance, with fluency increasing from 2.8 to 4.1, vocabulary from 2.7 to 4.0, pronunciation from 3.1 to 4.2, and grammar from 2.9 to 3.8. Thematic analysis indicates that integrating Islamic values into communicative tasks fosters meaningful participation, confidence, and strengthened expression of spiritual identity. Experts confirmed the textbook’s linguistic soundness and cultural alignment. The findings demonstrate that instructional materials incorporating cultural and spiritual identity elements can effectively support students’ communicative ability and value engagement. The developed textbook shows strong pedagogical potential and competitive advantages over comparable materials used in Islamic educational settings. Keywords: english, instructional materials, islamic values, language learning, speaking skills.
