Abstract

IT-Based Integrated Skills Approach (ITBISA) represents a pedagogical approach that combines Oxford’s (2001) Integrated Skills Approach (ISA) with digital literacy dimensions outlined by Son (2017), aiming to improve both English proficiency and digital literacy among EFL learners. Developed for TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) instruction, ITBISA integrates the four essential language skills through the purposeful use of digital tools and platforms. This study investigates the implementation of ITBISA in a university TEFL course by examining perspectives from students and the teacher. The current implementation builds upon previous applications of the approach by incorporating updates to the national curriculum and integrating AI-based technologies to address the evolving challenges of education in the AI era. Data collection involved classroom observations, teacher and student questionnaires, analyzed thematically to identify learning patterns, technological engagement, and pedagogical insights. The findings show that ITBISA creates a learning environment that promotes active participation, critical thinking, and increased digital awareness. Students reported better confidence in using English in academic and digital contexts, while the teacher noted enhanced classroom interaction and student autonomy. ITBISA is shown to be a sustainable and adaptable approach for EFL instruction, offering a forward-looking framework that addresses the dual demands of language mastery and digital competence in today’s AI era.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze best practices for integrating local culture into web-based English language teaching for young learners through a systematic review of 10 articles published between 2013 and 2023. Using the PRISMA framework, the study found that incorporating local culture into the English language curriculum significantly boosts students’ motivation, engagement, and communication skills. Materials emphasizing local culture also encourage students to understand and appreciate their cultural identity while improving their language skills in a global context. Although challenges such as native-speakerism attitudes exist, information and communication technologies can support this integration by providing access to more diverse and relevant materials. The study recommends developing culturally responsive teaching materials and applying inclusive methodologies in teaching practices. These findings are expected to help educators and policymakers create more effective and relevant learning environments for students in an increasingly interconnected global era.

Abstract

The fast development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a strong impact on the situation in higher education, especially on the way in which students learn, communicate, and interact with educational materials. The present study is a systematic literature review that examines 24 peer-reviewed articles published in 2020-2025 which concern on university students’ perceptions of AI technologies such as ChatGPT and generative AI tools. This research based on PRISMA methodology and the data acquired with the help of Publish or Perish application from the Scopus database, this study discusses the issues of acceptance and satisfaction, perceived benefits, ethical matters, and challenges regarding AI integration in higher education. The results show that most students perceive AI as a valuable tool that enhances efficiency, motivation, and learning autonomy. But there are still worries about overreliance, ethical use, academic integrity, and the potential erosion of critical thinking. The students’ perceptions and usage patterns are affected by contextual factors such as the field of study, gender, cultural background, and prior digital literacy influence. The review highlights the necessity of the participatory governance, systematized pedagogy, moral principles and collaborative policy making to make AI integration responsible and fair in higher education. After all, AI should be positioned not merely as a technical aid but as a transformative component of a humanistic and reflective learning environment.

Abstract

Mastering vocabulary is fundamental to learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL); however, students often struggle with various vocabulary components. This study aims to: (1) identify which vocabulary components show the most significant improvement in students' learning outcomes through Quizizz-based formative assessments, and (2) explore individual differences in EFL students' vocabulary performance across these assessments. This descriptive quantitative study involved 30 students from an EFL vocabulary class at a private university in Jakarta. Students completed nine Quizizz-based formative assessments covering various vocabulary topics, including word classes, word formations, synonyms, antonyms, idioms, collocations, phrasal verbs, and context-specific terms related to education and social media. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics consisting of the minimum and maximum scores, the mean, the standard deviation, and the variance. The results showed that social media and synonyms were the easiest vocabulary units because they had the highest average scores. In contrast, the units on phrasal verbs and word formations were the most challenging, as indicated by the lowest average scores. Most students demonstrated improvement across the assessments. Nevertheless, a small number of students revealed inconsistent performance across the various assessments, as evidenced by individual variability in performance. These findings suggest that Quizizz-based formative assessments can enhance students' vocabulary learning outcomes and help teacher educators design responsive instructional strategies to meet the diverse needs of EFL students.

Abstract

In the digital era, the ability to engage with digital technologies and media critically is essential for student success in higher education. Digital and media literacy (DML) equips learners with the necessary skills to access, analyze, evaluate, and create content across platforms while engaging responsibly in digital environments.Although the urgency of DML integration is widely acknowledged, research shows a lack of comprehensive, interdisciplinary implementation in university curricula and limited attention to how DML supports critical thinking and student engagement. This paper aims to explore how digital and media literacy can be strategically implemented in higher education to foster students’ critical thinking and meaningful academic engagement.This study adopts a qualitative, content-based approach by analyzing current frameworks and synthesizing insights from scholarly literature on digital pedagogy. Findings suggest that embedding DML across disciplines using instructional design models like TPACK and ADDIE, employing collaborative tools such as Padlet and Canva, and promoting ethical media analysis can enhance critical thinking. Key barriers include inequitable access and insufficient educator training. Effective DML integration can transform higher education by preparing students for academic, professional, and civic life in the digital age.

Abstract

This study explores the reflections of in-service teachers on the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in the Teacher Professional Education Program (TPEP). With the increasing demand for 21st-century teaching skills, PBL has emerged as an effective instructional method to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and student engagement. Using a qualitative approach, this research collected data from three in-service teachers through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and reflective journals. The findings highlight the benefits of PBL, including enhanced student motivation, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of learning materials. However, challenges such as time constraints, technical difficulties, and student adaptation to PBL were also identified. Teachers implemented solutions such as structured time management, technology integration, and active monitoring of student participation. Follow-up plans emphasize continuous reflection, evaluation, and adaptation to optimize the effectiveness of PBL in the classroom. The study underscores the importance of professional development in equipping teachers with the necessary skills to implement innovative teaching approaches. By addressing the challenges of PBL through strategic planning and ongoing support, teachers can enhance student learning outcomes and improve the overall teaching process.

Abstract

The tourism industry requires every worker to have proficient English skills appropriate to their position. However, until now, tourism industry stakeholders still question the low communicative skills of tourism vocational school graduates in English. The study aims to critically evaluate the English language teaching materials used in tourism vocational high schools to analyze their suitability to student needs and the demands of the tourism industry. Using a retrospective evaluation methodology, data was carefully collected through documentation and interviews. Documentation is carried out to collect teaching materials used by schools, while interviews collect data regarding teachers' perceptions of these teaching materials. Qualitative data analysis was carried out using an interactive data analysis model. This research shows that although the material provided aligns with the national curriculum and focuses on everyday English communicative skills, the material still does not meet the particular needs of students preparing themselves for a career in the tourism sector. Teachers are aware of the significant gap between the general English skills taught and the specific English required of students. This study provides a basis for revising teaching materials to bridge this gap and ensure that they meet both general educational goals and the specific communicative demands of the tourism industry.
