Abstract

The development of technology and learning English is towards the concept of providing electronic feedback. This research aims: 1).

The findings show that the use of the 'Grammarly' application in the text of the student thesis research proposal revealed some feedback on the errors in students’ writing of their thesis research proposal. Feedback on errors that occur in all existing texts is primarily related to spelling, followed by grammar (grammar) such as the use of articles (article), plural markers, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement. In addition, errors that occur in some thesis proposal texts are the use of punctuation and capital letters. Ten lecturers’ interview data show a positive perception in the use of 'Grammarly'.

Abstract

The integration of learner-centered pedagogy and digital technology has become increasingly important for improving English language learning outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrating CBL with interactive media to enhance students’ English language proficiency for junior high school students. The study employed an exploratory case study design using mixed methods. Participants included junior high school students and English teachers involved in the implementation of CBL supported by interactive media. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews. Instrument reliability analysis indicated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.7613). The findings revealed substantial improvements in students’ learning outcomes. The mean score increased from 52.00 on the pre-test to 83.00 on the post-test, exceeding the minimum passing criterion of 75.00. Learning performance also became more consistent, as reflected in the reduction of the standard deviation from 6.51 to 3.61 and the increase in minimum scores from 45 to 74. Questionnaire results showed that student engagement demonstrated the strongest construct validity, while perceived improvement showed adequate validity and motivation exhibited a weaker correlation. Qualitative evidence further indicated higher levels of engagement, clearer understanding of learning materials, greater confidence in English use, and more active classroom interaction. The study concludes that integrating CBL with interactive media effectively enhances English proficiency, engagement, and learner confidence. These findings provide practical guidance for implementing technology-enhanced, learner-centered English instruction in secondary education.

Abstract

The study investigates how this integration affects comprehension, critical thinking, student engagement, learner autonomy, and the particular difficulties that students face using thematic analysis. Student perspectives, classroom observations, and classroom records were used to collect data. Using detailed information from ten informants with a range of skill levels, this qualitative case study examines the impact of combining language and content in academic reading for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in higher education. The results show that students' reading comprehension is much improved by contextualizing reading materials, structuring instruction, and connecting the subject to real-world scenarios. Giving students the chance to relate academic material to their own experiences increases their engagement and sense of autonomy. However, issues with technical jargon, a lack of prior knowledge, and the interpretation of statistical or graphical data remain obstacles. Scaffolded analysis, modeling of reading strategies, and pre-teaching of specialist terminology are among the effective tactics identified. These findings highlight the importance of adaptable, targeted teaching strategies for EFL students. Such interventions are essential for fostering critical thinking, academic literacy, and independence. Integrating language and content supports EFL learners in overcoming reading challenges and achieving academic success.
