Abstract

To better prepare students for the demands of the twenty-first century, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia incorporates character education into a range of educational courses. English as a foreign language, teachers can select the chosen learning approach for their students—which might require using critical thinking skills—by using digital interactive media like Edpuzzle. This study's goal was to evaluate how digital interactive media like Edpuzzle were used in online English as a foreign language (EFL) classes and how it affected the students' critical thinking abilities. In order to help students enhance their critical thinking abilities in the context of problem-solving related to various learning styles, this project intends to create digital media based on character values. The 4-D approach was used in this product development study (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The digital interactive media Edpuzzle obtained a total average score of 3.60 based on the validation from the material expert and a score of 3.50 based on the evidence from the media expert, indicating that the study's findings are correct. 92% of the eighth-graders reactions were positive, per the assessments. Active learning during the teaching process also causes the students to feel positive emotions. Students can also develop their ability to think critically by speaking out in class and having meaningful debates with their classmates

Abstract

In an increasingly multicultural and interconnected world, the integration of culturally-responsive teaching methods into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has emerged as a vital pedagogical approach. This study examines the impact of culturally-responsive writing instruction on the development of EFL learners' writing skills, comparing it with traditional writing instruction. The objective is to explore how integrating cultural elements into writing pedagogy enhances linguistic competencies, fosters engagement, and promotes inclusivity in diverse classrooms. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining a quantitative pre-test and post-test experimental approach with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. The quantitative phase of the study involved assessing writing performance in two groups: one experimental group that received culturally-responsive instruction and one control group that followed traditional teaching methods. Writing samples were evaluated using standardized rubrics to measure key competencies such as content, organization, grammar, and critical thinking. The qualitative phase gathered insights into students' perceptions, motivation, and engagement through thematic analysis of interviews and focus group discussions. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the experimental group's writing performance, with notable gains in grammar (+40.9%), critical thinking (+41.7%), and vocabulary (+35.3%). Students reported higher engagement, confidence, and personal connection to writing tasks. Teachers observed improved participation and deeper critical analysis in student writing. However, challenges such as balancing curriculum demands and limited institutional support were highlighted. Overall, the findings underscore the transformative potential of culturally-responsive instruction in improving writing outcomes, fostering cultural appreciation, and creating inclusive learning environments. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence advocating for educational equity and culturally-responsive practices in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze the multifaceted impact of modern technological integration in education on pedagogy, learning processes and outcomes. A detailed literature review was conducted examining key developments in educational technologies over the past two decades including online learning platforms, 1:1 device initiative, and adaptive learning software. Impacts were analyzed using existing evidence from multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses on learning analytics, engagement, student achievement and teaching practices. The integration of technology in classrooms was found to enable more self-directed, personalized learning approaches leading to significant gains in core skills. However, uneven access to technology and issues around data privacy were also highlighted. Benefits were maximized when technologies supplemented rather than substituted teachers. With astute policy and teacher training, classroom technology presents transformative opportunities to improve access, equity, achievement and prepare students with vital future-oriented skills. However, care must be taken to continually address ethical issues around privacy, screen time, and digital divides. Understanding both opportunities and pitfalls will be key as education systems leverage technologies effectively to enhance learning on a global scale in coming decades

Abstract

The integration of corpus-based analysis with Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) offers a promising pedagogical framework to enhance online language proficiency development. Against the backdrop of increasing globalization and the need for effective language and content instruction, this study investigates the potential of merging these two methodologies to address gaps in traditional language education. The objective is to explore how corpus-based tools can enhance CLIL curricula by providing authentic, subject-specific language inputs and fostering critical thinking, cultural awareness, and learner autonomy. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative analysis involved pre-tests and post-tests of vocabulary acquisition, grammar accuracy, and subject-specific terminology comprehension for experimental and control groups. The experimental group utilized corpus-based CLIL tools, while the control group followed traditional CLIL methods. Qualitative data were gathered through surveys, interviews, and case studies to capture learner and educator experiences, engagement, and usability of the proposed approach. Findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in language proficiency, with 80%-100% gains across metrics compared to 30%-50% gains in the control group.

Abstract

Authorship attribution (AA), a core task in computational linguistics, seeks to identify the author of a text based on stylistic patterns. While effective, many existing methods face a trade-off between classification accuracy and computational cost, especially when applied to large datasets. This study provides a systematic evaluation of word-level string kernel techniques as a highly efficient and accurate solution for AA. We investigate the performance of three string kernels (Spectrum, Presence Bits, and Intersection) paired with three machine learning classifiers (Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and XGBoost). The models were tested on three distinct feature sets designed to isolate the stylistic contribution of noun phrases alongside word (n)-grams. Our findings reveal that the optimal configuration—a Support Vector Machine with a Spectrum kernel utilizing a feature set of word (n)-grams and noun phrases—achieves approximately 95% classification accuracy on the test set. This result underscores the critical role of phrasal-level syntactic information in capturing an author's unique voice. Most significantly, this word-level approach demonstrates a four- to six-fold reduction in model training time compared to a strong character-level baseline, while maintaining superior or competitive accuracy. This research concludes that word-level string kernels offer a powerful and practical framework for authorship attribution, striking an exceptional balance between high performance and computational efficiency. The method's scalability makes it highly suitable for real-world applications, including digital forensics, plagiarism detection, and large-scale textual analysis
