This study examines the integration of socio-constructivist principles and digital literacy in English speaking instruction within higher education in North Sumatera, Indonesia. Despite growing emphasis on communicative competence, students continue to face challenges in oral proficiency, confidence, and access to authentic interaction, highlighting a gap in the effective integration of pedagogy and technology. This research aims to design, implement, and evaluate digitally supported instructional practices that enhance speaking competence through collaborative learning environments. A convergent mixed-methods design was employed, involving 120 English education students and 12 lecturers from three universities. Data were collected through questionnaires, classroom observations, speaking performance assessments, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using complementary statistical and thematic techniques. The findings indicate that digital storytelling, podcast-based tasks, and collaborative multimedia projects substantially improve learners’ fluency, motivation, and self-efficacy. These outcomes reflect core socio-constructivist principles, particularly interaction, scaffolding, and learner autonomy. While lecturers demonstrated increasing digital pedagogical competence, challenges related to infrastructure and professional training remain evident. This study concludes that the integration of socio-constructivist approaches within digitally enriched learning environments promotes more communicative, multimodal, and culturally responsive speaking instruction. The proposed framework offers a sustainable model for advancing technology-integrated English language teaching in similar higher education contexts.

Writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) represents one of the most demanding competencies for Indonesian junior high school students, particularly those enrolled in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where instructional time is constrained by dual academic and religious curricula. This study examined the effectiveness of the Microselection Learning Strategy in improving descriptive text writing skills among ninth-grade female students at Khoirotul Usroh Islamic Boarding School, Stabat, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart cyclical model was employed across two cycles over five weeks, involving all 36 female students as participants through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests evaluated with a five-dimension rubric (title, identification, description, vocabulary, and closing), supplemented by observation sheets, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive percentage statistics; qualitative data followed Miles and Huberman's reduction–display–conclusion framework. Results showed a dramatic improvement in classical mastery: from 13.89% in the pre-test to 50.00% after Cycle I, and reaching 100.00% at the conclusion of Cycle II. The class mean score rose from approximately 46.9 to 87.1 points. Qualitative findings corroborated these gains, documenting improvements in vocabulary selection, sentence cohesion, paragraph organisation, and student confidence. The Microselection strategy proved highly effective as a scaffolded, cognitive-theory-grounded approach to EFL writing instruction in a boarding school context.
