Abstract

Technology integration in education, especially in language learning, has become increasingly essential. This study investigates college students’ perceptions regarding using Quizizz as a practical learning tool in the English for Young Learners (EYL) course. Employing a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 30 students in the English Department at a university in Jakarta using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The survey assessed students’ perceptions across several aspects, including ease of use, effectiveness in enhancing understanding, and the ability to increase engagement and motivation. The findings reveal that students generally perceive Quizizz positively, appreciating its user-friendly interface, interactive features, and real-time feedback. This contributes to improved confidence and a more enjoyable learning experience. Furthermore, students reported that Quizizz supports their comprehension of EYL material and fosters greater motivation to participate in class activities. These results suggest that Quizizz is a valuable digital tool for educators aiming to enhance the quality of language learning. However, the study also acknowledges the need for further research involving larger and more diverse samples and longitudinal studies to examine the long-term impact of Quizizz on students’ academic performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the linguistic accuracy and cultural representation in English descriptive texts in a Batik museum in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative method, data were collected through documentation, and interviews with museum staff. The findings reveal recurring grammatical issues, such as article omission, word misordering, and awkward phrasing, which affect clarity and professionalism. Culturally, many texts lack depth, providing only names and origins of batik without explaining symbolic or historical context. Some translations are overly literal and fail to capture natural English expression, limiting international visitors’ understanding. The study highlights the need for improved linguistic quality and cultural depth in museum texts. It recommends strategies like transcreation and collaboration with language experts to produce informative, accurate, and culturally sensitive content for a global audience.

Abstract

Team-based project (TBP) is an innovative learning model that promotes students' active participation and collaborative knowledge construction in English language learning. Nevertheless, limited research has examined how TBP facilitates English scientific writing among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in higher education. This study investigated EFL students' perceptions of the implementation of TBP in generating English scientific writing. A mixed-methods design was employed involving 62 undergraduate students enrolled in a Scientific Writing course at a reputable private university in Jakarta, Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, and percentages), while qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students perceived TBP positively across four dimensions: English scientific writing development (M = 3.85), creativity (M = 3.95), learning motivation (M = 3.87), and learning opportunities (M = 4.00), indicating high levels of agreement with the effectiveness of TBP. Interview data further showed that collaborative planning, peer feedback, and shared problem-solving enabled students to produce higher-quality scientific writing and increased their confidence in academic writing. The study recommends integrating TBP into Scientific Writing course to strengthen students' academic writing competence and collaborative learning experiences.
