This study assessed EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students' perceptions of using Wattpad to improve their creative writing skills. Wattpad, a community-based platform, allows students to read, write, and share stories, which helps them develop creativity, narrative structure, and vocabulary. This research was conducted on 10 EFL student participants at the North Sumatra State Islamic University (UIN-SU), using a phenomenological approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews to understand the experiences, benefits and challenges students face in using Wattpad for creative writing. This research aims to explore how social interaction and feedback from the Wattpad community contribute to the motivation and development of students' writing skills, particularly in terms of narrative ability, creativity, and character development. In addition, this research also aims to identify the challenges students face in using Wattpad and investigate how this platform can be optimized in classroom learning settings for EFL. The research results show that Wattpad provides significant benefits, especially in increasing student motivation through feedback and interaction with the community. Students reported improvements in their narrative techniques, creativity, and character development. However, challenges such as lack of technical guidance in creative writing and difficulties in time management were also cited by participants. In conclusion, Wattpad has proven to be an effective tool for supporting creative writing, especially if incorporated into the curriculum with proper guidance. This research suggests that further research should be carried out to optimize the use of Wattpad in learning and overcome the challenges faced by students.

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of the use of Wordwall as a digital media tool to enhance vocabulary learning in English classrooms. As vocabulary is a crucial component in language acquisition, interactive and engaging media such as Wordwall are expected to improve student learning outcomes and motivation. The participants of this study were five seventh-grade students from a junior high school, selected using purposive sampling based on their experience using Wordwall during English lessons. This research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to gain an in-depth understanding of students’ subjective experiences. Data were collected through participant observation, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire was based on three constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2): performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and hedonic motivation. Data were analyzed thematically by identifying patterns, formulating meaning, and describing the essence of the participants’ experiences. The findings reveal that students generally perceive Wordwall positively. Most participants stated that Wordwall made vocabulary learning more enjoyable and helped them memorize new words faster (performance expectancy). They also found it relatively easy to use after guidance from the teacher (effort expectancy) and expressed that the learning process felt more like a game than a traditional classroom activity (hedonic motivation). However, some students experienced initial confusion with the interface and game rules. Overall, the use of Wordwall created a more engaging and motivating learning environment, supporting vocabulary development through interactive digital learning experiences.

In the 21st century, English proficiency is vital for educational and professional advancement. This study explores the introduction of English lessons in elementary schools in Panei District, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra. The research highlights the importance of early English education for equipping students with essential skills to thrive in a globalized world. Despite the growing significance of English, rural areas like Panei District face challenges such as limited resources, insufficient trained personnel, and the need for culturally relevant teaching methods. The study utilizes a descriptive research approach combined with documentary analysis to examine the implementation and impact of English language programs. Findings indicate that early exposure to English enhances students' language awareness, engagement, and basic communication skills. However, challenges in resources and varying student proficiency levels were observed. Continuous support and teacher training are identified as crucial for the program’s sustained success. The study underscores the need for a structured approach and community involvement to effectively integrate English into rural educational settings.

This study investigates the types and strategies of teachers’ directive speech acts and the responses of special needs students during English learning and classroom interaction at the junior high school level. Using a qualitative approach, the data were obtained naturally from classroom communication to capture authentic linguistic behaviour. The findings reveal four types of directive speech acts used by teachers, namely commands, prohibitions, suggestions, and imperatives, each serving distinct instructional and behavioural purposes. The analysis also shows that teachers employ both direct and indirect strategies in delivering directives, which are adapted to students’ cognitive, emotional, and linguistic conditions. Furthermore, the responses of special needs students vary according to the nature of the directive, the clarity of the instruction, and the contextual demands of the classroom situation. Some students respond promptly and appropriately, while others require repetition, modelling, or simplified instructions to process and perform the requested actions. Overall, the realization of the directive types, strategies, and student responses is shaped by the diverse interactional contexts in special needs classrooms, demonstrating that effective teacher directives must be flexible and sensitive to students’ individual characteristics. These findings highlight the importance of pragmatic awareness in instructional communication, particularly in supporting the engagement and participation of students with special needs in EFL learning.
