Abstract

This study examined how gamification affected students' motivation, participation, teamwork, and learning outcomes in an English-language e-learning platform. Semi-structured interviews and structured observations were used in a qualitative case study. Sixty-two third-semester English education majors from Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, participated in the study. They were specifically chosen from two classes that used an e-learning platform with gaming elements. The results showed that gamification components such as incentives, achievements, and challenges considerably enhanced learners' motivation, excitement, and active engagement in English learning activities. Furthermore, gamification fostered positive social interactions, including collaboration, idea-sharing, mutual support, and healthy competition among learners. The observation data corroborated these findings, demonstrating high engagement levels, effective utilization of gamification features, strong focus and persistence, and notable improvements in achieving English learning goals. The study concludes that gamification can produce interesting, fun, and productive learning environments that improve students' motivation, engagement, teamwork, and general success in learning English. It is suggested by the implications that gamification techniques be used to encourage learners' motivation, engagement, and positive social dynamics. Future studies could examine how gamification affects self-regulated learning mechanisms, intrinsic motivation, and language ability over the long run.

Abstract

The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.

Abstract

English language proficiency plays a vital role in supporting students’ academic performance, especially in higher education settings where English is both the subject of study and a medium for learning. This study aimed to examine the relationship between English proficiency and academic performance among undergraduate students in the English Education Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 90 students whose English proficiency was measured using the English Proficiency Test for Internal Control (EPTIC), while academic performance was represented by their Grade Point Average (GPA). Data analysis using Pearson correlation revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship (r = 0.664, p < 0.001) between English proficiency and GPA. Linear regression analysis further indicated that English proficiency predicted 44.1% of the variance in academic performance. These findings highlight the importance of English proficiency as a predictor of students’ academic success. The results also support the use of institutional language assessments like EPTIC for evaluating academic readiness. It is recommended that higher education institutions provide structured language support programs to enhance student learning outcomes. Future studies should investigate the contributions of individual language skills and other influencing factors.

Abstract

Online learning has become an essential part of higher education, offering flexibility and wider access to students worldwide. Yet, in practice, many learners, especially those in EFL contexts, continue to face significant challenges that are often overlooked in existing research. This descriptive quantitative study explores the challenges and opportunities of online learning for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in higher education, specifically focusing on the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. Using a cross-sectional survey of 85 students, the research aimed to identify common obstacles and advantages in online learning while uncovering students' expectations and suggestions. The results revealed that technical issues (87.1%), lack of social interaction (67.1%), and difficulty understanding course material (52.9%) were the primary obstacles faced by students. Conversely, cost-effectiveness (62.4%), unrestricted access to course materials (49.4%), and reduced social demands (42.4%) were identified as key advantages. Notably, 79% of respondents expressed reluctance to engage in future online learning. This sentiment reflects persistent structural and pedagogical gaps. To improve the online learning experience, students proposed enhanced technological infrastructure, more interactive engagement, and increased instructional support. The findings underscore the need for institutions to reevaluate their online education strategies to ensure student-centered and sustainable learning environments.

Abstract

Writing is a critical skill for English language learners, enabling them to express ideas effectively. This study investigates the narrative writing abilities of second-grade students at SMPN 5 Wonomulyo, Indonesia, focusing on five key aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were collected through writing tests and teacher interviews. The findings reveal that a majority of students (60%) failed to meet the minimum standard of writing proficiency. Content and vocabulary were identified as the most challenging aspects, with many students struggling to generate coherent ideas and use appropriate language. Interviews with the teacher highlighted contributing factors, including limited vocabulary, lack of practice, and reliance on conventional teaching methods. The study emphasizes the need for innovative, student-centered approaches to enhance narrative writing skills, such as collaborative writing exercises, peer feedback, and digital storytelling tools. Vocabulary enrichment and regular writing practice are also critical for improving performance. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on EFL writing and offers practical recommendations for improving teaching practices.

Abstract

Mastering grammatical structures remains challenging for English as a Foreign Language learners in contexts with limited authentic language exposure. This quasi-experimental study examined whether mobile application integration could enhance Simple Present Tense acquisition among 34 seventh-grade students at a public junior high school in Majene, Indonesia. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group (n=17) receiving instruction through the English Grammar: Learn and Test application or a control group (n=17) following conventional textbook-based methods. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured grammar mastery across parts of speech, inflection, and syntax dimensions. Results revealed substantial improvement in the experimental group, with mean scores increasing from 20.94 to 72.12 (p < .001, Cohen's d = 1.95), while the control group showed modest gains (29.18 to 50.94). Notably, 82.4% of experimental participants achieved mastery level compared to 11.8% in the control group. Student perceptions measured through a 15-item questionnaire indicated strong acceptance (M = 4.31), with particularly high ratings for perceived usefulness. Despite sample size limitations, findings suggest that strategically integrated mobile applications can significantly enhance grammar learning when traditional methods prove insufficient, offering practical solutions for resource-constrained educational settings.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explored students' experiences and responses towards the implementation of e-learning in English literacy classes at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. The study employed a purposive sampling method, involving 145 students enrolled in reading and writing courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. Data were collected through reflection essays addressing 30 questions, validated by subject matter experts, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed several key themes, including challenges faced by students such as internet connectivity issues and initial difficulties navigating e-learning systems. While e-learning facilitated ubiquitous learning, concerns were raised regarding engagement levels, social connectedness, and comprehension compared to face-to-face interactions. Students valued the flexibility and accessibility of e-learning resources but emphasized the need for relevant, reliable, and interactive materials. The study underscored the valuable role of technology in enhancing e-learning quality through expansive content access, interactive features, and flexibility. However, digital literacy gaps and suitability concerns for certain skills were identified as limitations. Overall, a balanced blended learning approach integrating e-learning with traditional face-to-face elements was recommended to optimize learning outcomes in English literacy education. The findings inform pedagogical practices, institutional strategies, and future research on leveraging educational technology to enhance English literacy instruction effectively.

Abstract

English has become an elective subject in Elementary Schools (SD) but not all schools are able to organize it since they do not have English teachers. Responding to this, this community service activity was carried out with the aim of introducing English vocabularies to students of SD Inpres Bertingkat Tabaringan I, Makassar City using interesting teaching media in the form of comics. This activity was carried out in the form of additional courses outside of school hours which were held for 10 meetings and followed by students in grades III and IV. The media used in teaching English vocabulary was in the form of power points using comic characters that children like. During the activity, students looked enthusiastic and very excited to participate in this activity because there were comic characters presented together with the English vocabulary being taught. This proves that the main purpose of using comic media in teaching English vocabulary was successful and the majority of course participants were also able to pronounce and memorize new vocabularies given by the instructor
