Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to provide insights into how edugames can assess children’s cognitive abilities across various intelligence domains such as logical-mathematical, spatial, linguistic, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic. Methodology: This study adopts a qualitative research design with a case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with educators and edugame developers, classroom observations of students using the games, and document analysis. The study focused on a specific early childhood school institution where edugames were integrated into the curriculum. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns and insights from the data. Main Findings: The findings reveal that edugames are effective in assessing a wide range of intelligences, engaging children in tasks that reflect different cognitive and social abilities. The games were particularly effective in evaluating logical-mathematical, spatial, linguistic, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences. Educators reported that edugames allowed them to assess diverse abilities often overlooked by traditional assessment methods. However, challenges such as limited technological infrastructure and the need for adaptive features in games were identified. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research contributes to the emerging field of digital tools in early childhood education by presenting edugames as effective methods for assessing multiple intelligences. The implications for educational practice suggest that incorporating edugames into early childhood curricula can provide a more inclusive, dynamic, and accurate assessment of children's cognitive and social skills. Future research should focus on overcoming the identified challenges, such as the need for adaptive game features and better technological infrastructure.

Abstract

Speaking is considered one of the most important language skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning because it enables students to express ideas and communicate effectively. However, many junior high school students still experience difficulties in developing speaking skills due to limited opportunities to use English in their learning environment. One important factor that supports language development is exposure to the target language. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of English exposure used in speaking learning and examine how English exposure contributes to the development of junior high school students’ speaking skills. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze relevant previous studies related to English exposure and speaking skills. A total of 10 studies published between 2017 and 2026 were selected and analyzed based on specific inclusion criteria. The findings reveal that English exposure in speaking learning occurs through several instructional approaches, including role-play activities, technology-based learning media, and interactive classroom activities such as picture-based tasks and problem-based learning. These forms of exposure provide students with meaningful opportunities to practice speaking, increase their confidence, and improve their communication performance. Overall, the results indicate that English exposure plays a significant role in supporting the development of junior high school students’ speaking skills. Providing varied and meaningful exposure to English can help students develop greater confidence, fluency, and communicative competence in speaking.
