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

This qualitative case study included five EFL pre-service teachers who had completed 45 days of FTP at one of senior high schools in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. This study aimed to investigate the physical geographies of pre-service teachers while they conducted their teaching practice. Reflective journals and interviews are data collection instruments constructed based on Hargreaves' emotional geographies theory to comprehend the emotions that arise after completing their field teaching experience in 45 days. This study discovered that the participants had both positive and negative feelings during their field teaching practicum (FTP) in physical geography aspects. As part of their physical geography dimensions, all participants maintained tremendous relationships with their students, colleagues, and mentor teachers at placement schools. As a result, their emotional geographies could involve the teacher's professional and cognitive abilities, which impact their field teaching practice.

The researchers observed a group of second-grade students at MTs Maarif Andong who were selected for this study. Thirty students participated as respondents and were interviewed and given questionnaires to provide accurate information. The findings indicate that the majority of students found media to be helpful in improving their pronunciation and believed that learning pronunciation is crucial. They also perceived the "perfect English pronunciation feature" in U-Dictionary as a practical and enjoyable way to overcome difficulties in learning pronunciation.

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.
