Abstract

The integration of social media platforms in EFL reading instruction remains underexplored, particularly regarding their combined pedagogical potential for enhancing collaborative learning experiences. This study investigates how YouTube and WhatsApp function as complementary collaborative learning tools in EFL reading courses, addressing the gap in research on their synergistic effects on reading comprehension and peer interaction. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 100 third-semester students through questionnaires, with 40 randomly selected participants providing reflective journals. The research examined students' perceptions of these platforms' effectiveness in supporting collaborative reading activities and identified correlations between platform use and learning engagement. The findings indicate that students perceived both platforms positively, with YouTube presentations supporting comprehension of reading materials and WhatsApp discussions fostering collaborative engagement. However, challenges such as limited interaction during video presentations, technological barriers, and message overload in group chats were also reported. Thematic analysis further revealed five key themes: learning engagement, collaborative experiences, online learning challenges, platform benefits, and improvement suggestions. The study contributes practical insights for optimizing social media integration in EFL reading instruction through structured engagement strategies, balanced participation guidelines, and blended learning approaches that combine synchronous and asynchronous collaborative reading activities.

Abstract

This study explores the English language learning experiences of high school students in a rural school in West Sulawesi, Indonesia, through the Capability Approach. English proficiency is vital for national development, yet students in remote areas face numerous barriers that hinder their ability to learn the language, exacerbating social inequalities. This research fills a gap in understanding how these challenges affect students' educational outcomes in underprivileged regions. Through interviews and field observations, the study reveals the significant influence of socio-economic and environmental factors on students' abilities to engage with and benefit from English instruction in rural West Sulawesi. The findings indicate that students with limited resources are disproportionately affected, significantly constraining their ability to develop essential language skills. Furthermore, the study underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions, such as improved teaching quality and increased support for rural students, to address these inequalities. By promoting educational equity and bridging the gap between urban and rural English language education, these interventions can create more equal opportunities for students, fostering broader national development.

Abstract

This study examined how gamification affected students' motivation, participation, teamwork, and learning outcomes in an English-language e-learning platform. Semi-structured interviews and structured observations were used in a qualitative case study. Sixty-two third-semester English education majors from Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, participated in the study. They were specifically chosen from two classes that used an e-learning platform with gaming elements. The results showed that gamification components such as incentives, achievements, and challenges considerably enhanced learners' motivation, excitement, and active engagement in English learning activities. Furthermore, gamification fostered positive social interactions, including collaboration, idea-sharing, mutual support, and healthy competition among learners. The observation data corroborated these findings, demonstrating high engagement levels, effective utilization of gamification features, strong focus and persistence, and notable improvements in achieving English learning goals. The study concludes that gamification can produce interesting, fun, and productive learning environments that improve students' motivation, engagement, teamwork, and general success in learning English. It is suggested by the implications that gamification techniques be used to encourage learners' motivation, engagement, and positive social dynamics. Future studies could examine how gamification affects self-regulated learning mechanisms, intrinsic motivation, and language ability over the long run.

Abstract

The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.
