Abstract

Listening is an important part of English learning that students need; the purpose of this study is to prove that students need something interesting in listening to lessons. Students can improve their listening skills through movie media because it can attract their attention, preventing them from feeling bored. This research uses a quantitative method. We surveyed 30 students from the English Education Department through surveys after they participated in movie-based listening sessions. The results showed that students were more interested, focused, and motivated when learning with movies compared to regular listening materials. Most students agreed that movies helped them understand spoken English better since they provide context and show how people naturally speak. Overall, adding movies to listening lessons can be a great way to increase engagement and enhance listening skills in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

There has been a rise in the number of mental health problems that college students are suffering as a direct result of the increased levels of stress that are present in the university environment. Students can effectively communicate their emotions through writing activities such as maintaining a diary, writing poetry, or engaging in introspective writing. On the other hand, educational institutions in Indonesia continue to overlook research questions about how students can improve their mental health through the use of personal writing. The purpose of this study is to investigate how children utilize writing as a means of effectively expressing their feelings and preserving their mental health. Researchers from Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang recruited thirty students from the second, sixth, and eighth semesters to participate in the study. A quantitative and descriptive method was utilized in the investigation. To collect the information, we conducted a survey consisting of a single question. After engaging in activities that involved personal writing, the majority of participants in the survey reported feeling more emotionally balanced and experiencing lower levels of stress. The study's findings revealed this. The act of writing helped them become more self-aware, which in turn enhanced their emotional intelligence and problem-solving abilities. The results of the study suggest that students may be able to improve their mental health via the use of personal writing rather than through the use of pharmaceutical therapies. Instruction in reflective writing should be provided to students at educational institutions to promote the mental health of children.

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of mobile media in enhancing students' paragraph writing skills, motivation, and behavioural involvement. This research seeks to reconcile traditional pedagogical approaches with students' digital practices amid the swift incorporation of technological devices in education. A quasi-experimental approach comprised two groups: an experimental group employing mobile-based media and a control group using conventional methods. Data were gathered via writing evaluations, motivating surveys, and classroom observations. The findings indicate that students in the experimental group exhibited considerably enhanced writing performance compared to the control group. Furthermore, their motivation and behavioural involvement are heightened owing to mobile media's interactive and accessible characteristics. The results indicate that mobile media effectively enhances student-centred learning and encourages active engagement in writing activities. This study emphasizes mobile media's capacity to revolutionize writing instruction and stimulate future pedagogical advancements.

Abstract

The research examined the perspectives of ESP learners and lecturers regarding the implementation of technology-enhanced task-based language teaching (TBLT) integrated into content language integrated learning (CLIL) in ESP instruction, and it identified key factors affecting its effective integration. A qualitative research design was employed, involving 95 nursing students and 10 ESP lecturers, who completed an open-ended questionnaire. Moreover, participants took part in focus group discussions (FGDs), including ESP students, heads of the nursing program, ESP lecturers, nursing lecturers, stakeholders, and professional nurses. Thematic data analysis of the open-ended questionnaire and FGDs results revealed that students and lecturers viewed the implementation of technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL as beneficial for integrating nursing theory with English language proficiency, thereby significantly improving content knowledge and language competence. Nonetheless, substantial obstacles arose, encompassing technology limitations, insufficient instructor preparation, and limited interdisciplinary collaboration. The results indicate that successful implementation necessitates a robust technology infrastructure, continuous professional development for educators, and enhanced collaboration between language teachers and nursing departments. The results of this study also show that technology-enhanced TBLT integrated into CLIL can relate theoretical lessons to real-world applications. These results create a complete learning environment that gives nursing students the skills they need to meet the high standards of the medical field.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the integration of hybrid learning and team-based projects in learning to write and to explain the effectiveness of implementing hybrid and team-based projects in improving students' writing performances. This research method was mixed with quantitative analysis using quasi-experiments and questionnaires, while qualitative analysis used observations in writing classes. The instruments applied were writing tests, questionnaires, and observations. The results of this study were feasible to be used and tested in a small-scale class in the third semester of English Education at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. The average result of the validation is more than four scores, so it is in the excellent category. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of student perspectives on learning through Team-Based Projects are divided into four, namely; student perspectives and motivation regarding the implementation of hybrid learning, student perspectives on the effectiveness of Team-Based Projects, student perceptions of independent learning through team-based projects and hybrid learning, and student perceptions about working in groups. All of the indicators were categorized as excellent. In addition, the integration of hybrid learning and team-based project in the English Language Education Study Program with the participation of seventy-two students with the final grades of all students being in the complete category above seventy so that the integration of hybrid learning and team-based projects is effectively implemented in genre text writing classes. Therefore, the results of this study can make a good contribution because they can motivate students to write texts and improve independent student learning. HIGHLIGHTS: Integrating hybrid learning and team-based projects is suitable for use and testing in small class scales in the third semester of English Education at the Muhammadiyah University of Semarang. The average result of the validation results is more than 4.00, so it is in the excellent category. The student perspectives on learning through Team-Based Projects are divided into four: student perspectives on motivation and their writing results, student perspectives on the effectiveness of Team-Based Projects, student perceptions of independent learning through Team-Based Projects and Hybrid understanding, and student perceptions about working in groups. The lecturers should apply hybrid learning and team-based projects to motivate and train students to learn independence and provide experiences of a harmonious learning process. Next, for future researchers, it is advisable to expand the research subject so that the results obtained are more in-depth and can be implemented in other English skills, namely speaking, listening, and reading.
