Abstract

Utilising technologies to enable language learners to accept authentic and communicative assignments is proliferating, but its effect on their self-directed language learning (SDLL) needs to be investigated. To this end, the present study aimed to investigate English for specific purpose (ESP) learners views on using technology-enhanced task-based language teaching (TBLT) toward their self-directed language learning. A mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design with 103 nursing students as research participants. This study used two research instruments: the Likert scale and an open-ended questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Path analysis, and thematic analysis were employed to analyse the data. The findings from quantitative data revealed that students learning needs and utilising skills of SDLL categories have a strong influence on English mastery after receiving technology-enhanced TBLT. Consequently, ESP students must also improve process planning and use skills. They should be encouraged to schedule more consistent English lessons in and out of class. Meanwhile, the qualitative data disclose that technology-enhanced TBLT assists the learners in improving their language learning, i.e., planning process, completing tasks, and internal attributions. ESP students expressed their concerns and reported some challenges in applying language skills during speaking activities. This study implies that ESP lecturers can adopt various ways to assist ESP students in mastering English language goals through technology-enhanced TBLT.

Abstract

One of the most difficult and exciting forms of academic communication available to students is debate. One of the most challenging communication obstacles students face in their academic endeavors is debate speaking. This study aims to find and investigate the common issues debated by students. The study focuses on numerous important areas, including speaking anxiety, time management, framing arguments, handling counterarguments, improving debate forms, and team coordination inside a debate team. Data collecting and processing for this study used quantitative descriptive approaches. The debate class consists of forty college students registered. Five student interviews plus a prepared questionnaire helped to compile the data. The results show that most students struggle with controlling limited speaking time during debates, have trouble with spontaneous reasoning, and suffer from speaking anxiety. Two other noted major obstacles were inadequate team coordination and a lack of knowledge concerning discussion procedures. To improve students' speaking ability in debate environments, lecturers and debate coaches should offer specialized training programs stressing debate strategy, speaking fluency, and team collaboration techniques. This study clarifies students' speaking challenges and offers reasonable suggestions for strengthening debate education in universities.

Abstract

Listening is an important part of English learning that students need; the purpose of this study is to prove that students need something interesting in listening to lessons. Students can improve their listening skills through movie media because it can attract their attention, preventing them from feeling bored. This research uses a quantitative method. We surveyed 30 students from the English Education Department through surveys after they participated in movie-based listening sessions. The results showed that students were more interested, focused, and motivated when learning with movies compared to regular listening materials. Most students agreed that movies helped them understand spoken English better since they provide context and show how people naturally speak. Overall, adding movies to listening lessons can be a great way to increase engagement and enhance listening skills in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study examines how students at SMP Negeri 1 Demak perceive learning English in class, as they recognize the importance of being able to speak English in today's global and connected world. Many students know that learning English is important for their future. Still, when they are asked to speak English in class, they often feel anxious and unsure of themselves, especially when they fear making mistakes and being judged. This is a common problem in middle schools because students don't get to talk much. This study used a quantitative data method with 40 students from grades VII to IX as participants. The data was collected through open-ended questionnaires that asked students about their challenges, preferences, and suggestions. The results reveal that students are more likely to speak up when the classroom is calm and friendly. They like to learn when it's fun, like making videos, playing games, or talking to friends. Students think that it is very important for their professors to talk to them and give them emotional support in class so that they feel safer. Teachers should be kinder, tell their kids the truth, and allow them to participate without being afraid of making mistakes. Changing the way they teach might help teachers and students who are nervous about speaking. This will assist kids learn how to talk to each other better, which is a skill that is very vital in the 21st century.

Abstract

The research examined the perspectives of ESP learners and lecturers regarding the implementation of technology-enhanced task-based language teaching (TBLT) integrated into content language integrated learning (CLIL) in ESP instruction, and it identified key factors affecting its effective integration. A qualitative research design was employed, involving 95 nursing students and 10 ESP lecturers, who completed an open-ended questionnaire. Moreover, participants took part in focus group discussions (FGDs), including ESP students, heads of the nursing program, ESP lecturers, nursing lecturers, stakeholders, and professional nurses. Thematic data analysis of the open-ended questionnaire and FGDs results revealed that students and lecturers viewed the implementation of technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL as beneficial for integrating nursing theory with English language proficiency, thereby significantly improving content knowledge and language competence. Nonetheless, substantial obstacles arose, encompassing technology limitations, insufficient instructor preparation, and limited interdisciplinary collaboration. The results indicate that successful implementation necessitates a robust technology infrastructure, continuous professional development for educators, and enhanced collaboration between language teachers and nursing departments. The results of this study also show that technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL can relate theoretical lessons to real-world applications. These results create a complete learning environment that gives nursing students the skills they need to meet the high standards of the medical field.
