Abstract

Teachers play a crucial role in fostering a positive and motivating learning environment for their students. One effective method to enhance student learning motivation is the use of PowerPoint as a multimodal tool. This study aimed to enhance students' learning motivation using PowerPoint in this capacity. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was applied, with 36 XI-grade hospitality students selected through purposive sampling. Field notes were used to record the implementation process, observation sheets examined improvements in students' learning motivation, and interviews identified the challenges of using PowerPoint as a multimodal tool. The results demonstrated that using PowerPoint effectively enhanced student learning motivation, with student participation increasing from 49.2% in the preliminary study to 77.7% after the intervention. Significant improvements were observed in various aspects: attentiveness, expression of ideas, task completion, active participation, collaboration, and engagement in group discussions. However, the study also highlighted challenges, such as the need for expertise in seamlessly integrating PowerPoint and tailoring materials to diverse student needs, including facility-related issues. These findings suggest the necessity for future research to investigate teacher training programs and examine the impact of various multimodal elements in PowerPoint presentations on student engagement. Despite the challenges, PowerPoint remains a promising tool for enhancing classroom dynamics and student motivation.

Abstract

Despite its significance particularly when it comes to writing competence, numerous studies have revealed that grammar is still considered complicated to grasp and used by students. The purpose of this study was to determine how video-based instruction affects students' understanding of grammar in writing assignments. This sequential explanatory mixed-method study aimed to investigate how students' grammatical skills especially in degree of comparison might be improved. Quantitative evaluations such as creating written test materials for the students and qualitative interviews with both teachers and students were employed. The findings showed that students' comprehension of grammatical rules for statistical tests had improved. Descriptive data evidenced that the students were clearly excited, enthralled, and actively involved with the tactics; served as a scaffold to lower obstacles; enhanced language learners' understanding; and increased students' vocabulary. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches evidenced the significance of implementing English videos to promote students’ grammatical competence in writing skills.

Abstract

Indonesian postgraduate students encounter significant challenges in academic writing, particularly in areas such as clarity, coherence, organization, grammar, and plagiarism prevention. This study investigates these challenges and explores the potential of AI-driven strategies to enhance writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys of 50 participants and qualitative interviews with six postgraduates, the research identified key obstacles such as difficulty in formulating clear research questions, using precise academic vocabulary, maintaining logical flow, and mastering citation practices. To address the issues, they employed several effective strategies employed      including seeking feedback, attending workshops, outlining, varying sentence structures, and thorough proofreading. AI tools like Grammarly, QuillBot, ChatGPT, and Mendeley are widely used for grammar checks, paraphrasing, citation management, and enhancing coherence, demonstrating their value in supporting academic writing. However, the study underscores the importance of human oversight to ensure originality and foster critical thinking. These findings have implications for both theoretical advancement and educational practice, particularly in the integration of AI tools in higher education. The findings hold significant implications for educational practice, suggesting that AI integration in higher education can serve as an effective support tool, provided it is accompanied by guidance on responsible usage.

Abstract

The proliferation of mobile learning has introduced a wide range of educational apps and flexible learning supports, extending education beyond traditional constraints of time and location. While mobile learning has proven effective for language acquisition, its potential extends into areas of digital engagement critical to modern education. Differentiated instruction, essential for personalized learning, can particularly benefit from mobile learning platforms, as demonstrated in this study’s focus on viewing skills, a component highlighted in Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum but less explored in research. This qualitative study reflects on English teachers' experiences using mobile learning to teach viewing skills to secondary students across Indonesia, utilizing interviews, focus groups, and digital artefacts to gather insights. Findings reveal that mobile learning facilitates differentiated instruction in viewing skills, fosters student motivation and critical thinking, enhances digital literacy, and requires teacher strategies to mitigate distractions. These results suggest that structured mobile learning integration can effectively promote differentiated learning across diverse skills, offering educators a flexible tool for skill-specific instruction.

Abstract

Although the notion of establishing global education has existed since the early 21st Century, the majority of current EFL textbooks neglect global issues as teaching content. However, existing studies on the implementation of the current Emancipated Curriculum have yet to incorporate authentic materials related to these topics, which remain significantly underexplored. In such a manner, this study introduced a supplementary reading material integrated with zoonoses topic as a part of global health issues nowadays. Utilizing a mixed-method approach to accomplish an ADDIE model, the study presents clear DBR stages. Various instruments, such as questionnaires, interviews, tests, and digital artifacts, were used. Half of the student population was obtained as samples (N=63), and an English teacher participated in this study. The major findings underscore the significant difference in the experiment group students’ reading skills based on t-value (7.011) > α (0.05). To a certain extent, user responses (88%) and module evaluation (95%) toward the product were considered very worthy or eligible to be employed for teaching reading in English classrooms. Apart from the empirical evidence, the study offers practical insights for English teachers in similar areas, highlighting the potential of proposing global issue topics to bridge the students' knowledge, skills, and awareness of real-world situations. Shortly, this will contribute valuable direction for the future development of English teaching materials.
