Abstract

This study was initiated in response to the challenges faced by students who are not accustomed to practicing English speaking due to a lack of self-confidence and heightened anxiety when communicating with others or with native speakers. To address these issues, the study explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) technology to foster the development of students’ English communication skills within an autonomous, interactive, and engaging environment. Such an environment is expected to increase students’ learning motivation while simultaneously improving the overall quality of instruction. The primary aim of this research is to contribute to the body of knowledge by developing a prototype of a digital platform termed Metaversity, defined as a virtual learning environment that integrates the immersive features of the Metaverse ecosystem with the pedagogical foundations of Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL). The participants of the study consisted of 30 undergraduate students from Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the study adopted the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The resulting learning media integrates VR, DGBL, and communication platforms such as VRChat and Discord into a cohesive system. Validation by media experts yielded an average score of 4.35 out of 5, which falls into the “highly feasible” category. Meanwhile, students’ responses reached an average of 82.5%, placing the product within the “good–very good” range. The findings provide compelling evidence that the developed medium is effective in enhancing students’ motivation, self-confidence, and English-speaking competence. Furthermore, the integration of VR and DGBL fosters active engagement, alleviates language anxiety, and creates an immersive and enjoyable learning experience. These outcomes highlight the potential of Metaversity-based platforms as innovative solutions in higher education language learning contexts.

Abstract

This study explores university students’ experiences of learning English through the Duolingo application. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved 15 English education students at Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka over a six-week data collection period. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, and then analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase approach, guided by a constructivist learning framework. The analysis identified students’ perceptions, perceived benefits, and challenges in using Duolingo as a language learning tool. Findings revealed that Duolingo enhanced students’ vocabulary acquisition, learning motivation, and autonomous study habits. However, participants also reported limitations such as repetitive exercises, insufficient opportunities for communicative speaking practice, and reliance on internet connectivity. Results indicate that while Duolingo can effectively supplement English learning, it is most beneficial when integrated with classroom-based instruction and teacher guidance. Overall, the study underscores the importance of combining digital learning applications with formal educational contexts to maximize language development and learner engagement.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (KB) has experienced rapid development in various fields, including education and learning. This article discusses artificial intelligence-assisted language learning strategies. The main objective of this strategy is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the language learning process by utilizing family planning technology. This article outlines various approaches that can be used in the implementation of KB-assisted learning strategies, including automated text analysis, personalized learning, adaptive feedback, language error detection, and automatic translation. The advantages and challenges of each approach are discussed in depth, as well as their potential impact on language learning outcomes. This study adopts a literature analysis approach to investigate language learning strategies assisted by artificial intelligence. The steps taken in this study include the identification and collection of relevant literature sources, as well as critical analysis of the information found. By combining the advantages of family planning technology with the principles of language learning, it is hoped that this strategy can pave the way to a more interactive, adaptive, and efficient learning experience

Abstract

Pohon Literasi adalah inovasi pendidikan yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan minat baca, keterampilan literasi, dan kreativitas siswa melalui visualisasi bacaan dalam bentuk pohon yang interaktif. Konsep ini menggabungkan elemen visual dan interaktif untuk memotivasi siswa dalam kegiatan membaca dan menulis. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di SD Negeri 1 Puuroda selama empat bulan untuk mengevaluasi dampak implementasi Pohon Literasi terhadap keterampilan membaca dan menulis siswa. Metode kegiatan melibatkan pengenalan Pohon Literasi sebagai alat bantu visual yang memungkinkan siswa untuk menambahkan daun atau buah pada pohon sebagai representasi kemajuan bacaan mereka. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan umpan balik guru untuk menilai keterlibatan siswa serta dampak terhadap motivasi dan keterampilan literasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa Pohon Literasi efektif dalam meningkatkan minat baca dan keterampilan literasi siswa dengan menciptakan rasa pencapaian dan motivasi tambahan melalui visualisasi progres bacaan. Selain itu, aktivitas kreatif yang terkait dengan menghias pohon memperkaya pengalaman belajar siswa dan mendorong ekspresi kreatif. Meskipun ada tantangan seperti keterbatasan sumber daya dan waktu, solusi praktis seperti pemanfaatan bahan yang tersedia dan teknologi digital dapat membantu mengatasi hambatan tersebut. Dengan perencanaan yang matang dan dukungan komunitas pendidikan, Pohon Literasi dapat menjadi alat yang berharga dalam meningkatkan literasi dan kreativitas siswa secara menyeluruh.

Abstract

This study examined how well chatbot-enhanced training can help computer science students understand technical vocabulary. Semi-structured interviews were combined with a pre-test and post-test design as part of a mixed-methods strategy. With a substantial effect size (Cohen's d = 1.59) and a mean increase of 12.7%, quantitative data showed a statistically significant improvement in vocabulary scores, suggesting major practical implications. A thematic analysis of qualitative responses identified three main themes: usability limits, motivation and involvement, and perceived benefits. Students commended the chatbot's ability to offer real-time, contextual feedback and promoted deeper learning by using examples that are interwoven with coding situations. The conversational tone, individualized contact, and emotional engagement of the chatbot were credited with increasing motivation. However, some students pointed up issues including repeating outputs, overuse of synonyms, and complex instances, highlighting the necessity of adaptive content calibration. These results demonstrated that, with careful integration, AI-powered chatbots can function as efficient, customized vocabulary instructors; nevertheless, wider adoption will require enhancements to content delivery systems.
