Abstract

Mobile technology plays an equal role with face-to-face interaction in the learning process in this current era. One of the most commonly utilized technologies is the use of social media integrated with the face-to-face teaching and learning as called a blended-learning. This recent study aims: (1) to investigate how the blended learning process is operated, (2) to determine students’ perceptions in learning English through blended learning. This study was an explanatory mixed-method research design using observation, questionnaire, and interview as instruments to collect data from the purposively selected 26 students. The results of this study indicated that the process of learning English through blended learning both offline (face-to-face) and online (WhatsApp application) was well-implemented. Besides, students also showed a lot of positive perceptions when learning English through blended learning utilizing social media of WhatsApp and through the face-to-face form of language learning interaction. Thus, the researchers concluded that blended learning maintains essential behavioral, cognitive, and emotional aspects in English learning.

Abstract

This study aims to delve into EFL pre-service teachers' perceptions of teaching assistance provided through the teaching assistance Program. This study selected 8 pre-service teachers from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari purposively and used interview as the primary method of data collection. Through a description of thematic analysis, this study identified key themes related to EFL pre-service teachers' understanding of the teaching assistance program, the role of teaching assistance, and the benefits and challenges faced during the program. The findings demonstrated that EFL pre-service teachers comprehended the goals and advantages of the program, which included gaining practical experience in an elementary school context and improving their teaching abilities.

Abstract

The integration of mobile learning applications has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance student engagement in English language learning, particularly in resource-limited educational settings in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the impact of mobile learning applications on students’ motivation in learning English at MTs Negeri 3 Konawe Selatan, Southeast Sulawesi. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 56 ninth-grade students from classes IX A, IX B, and IX C. The experimental group (n = 28) utilized mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) applications, while the control group (n = 28) received conventional classroom instruction over an eight-week period. Students’ motivation was measured using a validated questionnaire based on Keller’s ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) as pre- and post-tests and analyzed with paired and independent sample t-tests. The results revealed a statistically significant increase in overall motivation scores in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < .05). Notable improvements were observed across all ARCS subscales, particularly in attention and satisfaction. Students reported higher engagement through interactive features, gamification, and flexible learning access. These findings indicate that mobile learning applications can effectively boost EFL learners’ motivation in Indonesian junior secondary schools. The study recommends the pedagogical integration of appropriate mobile technologies to support English teaching and learning in similar contexts.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed English language teaching, particularly through the adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Google Classroom or Moodle. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of LMS in enhancing the overall quality and outcomes of English language teaching at MTs Ihya Assunnah Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design, the research involved 23 eighth-grade students. The experimental group received English instruction integrated with LMS features for interactive materials, assignments, discussions, and feedback, while the control group followed conventional face-to-face teaching methods. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests focusing on English language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s English proficiency compared to the control group (p < 0.05), with notable gains in student engagement, motivation, and autonomous learning. Students also reported positive perceptions toward the flexibility and interactivity provided by the LMS. This study demonstrates that LMS can effectively support English language teaching in madrasah settings with limited resources. The integration of LMS is recommended to promote more student-centered and interactive learning experiences aligned with the Kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

Curriculum reform is a continuous process aimed at improving educational quality and responding to evolving societal needs. In Indonesia, the transition from Curriculum 2013 (K13) to Kurikulum Merdeka represents a major shift toward flexible, competency-based learning. However, the success of such reforms largely depends on teachers who serve as the primary implementers of curriculum policies. This study aims to explore elementary school teachers’ perceptions, challenges, and recommendations regarding the transition from K13 to Kurikulum Merdeka in Kendari, Indonesia. The research employed a descriptive survey design involving 31 public elementary school teachers who had experience teaching under both curricula. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 25 items and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that most teachers perceive Kurikulum Merdeka positively, particularly appreciating its flexibility in lesson planning and its emphasis on essential learning content. Nevertheless, teachers reported several challenges during implementation, including limited time, insufficient training, and inadequate school resources. Despite these challenges, the majority of respondents expressed strong support for the new curriculum and believed it has the potential to improve the quality of learning. Teachers also recommended increased professional development opportunities, collaborative teacher forums, and clearer implementation guidelines from education authorities. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating teachers’ voices into curriculum reform processes to ensure sustainable and effective implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

This study investigates language preference and diglosic practices among students at an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia, where Arabic, English, and Indonesian coexist in daily communication. Language choice is shaped by sociocultural domains and institutional norms (Fishman, 1972; Holmes, 2013). Although Arabic and English are officially promoted, their use reflects unequal functional distribution consistent with classical diglossia (Ferguson, 1959). Using a qualitative case study design (Creswell & Poth, 2018), data were collected through non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s (2014) interactive model. Findings indicate the dominance of Arabic in religious activities and peer interaction, while English is largely limited to classroom instruction. Arabic functions as a high-status variety linked to religious authority and institutional ideology (Ferguson, 1959), whereas English occupies a restricted pedagogical role shaped by language policy and symbolic capital (Bourdieu, 1991; Spolsky, 2004). The study highlights how institutional ideology sustains diglosic hierarchies in Islamic boarding school contexts.
