Abstract

This study investigated students’ difficulties and explore students’ perceptions regarding the use of the Flipped Learning Model in a junior high school English listening class. The study used a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing two validated questionnaires: one to measure perceived difficulties and the other to assess students’ perceptions of the learning model. Participants were 24 eighth-grade students who were learning English listening with a Flipped Learning Model, where learning materials were accessed before class and class time was dedicated to interactive activities. The results revealed that the majority of students (99%) classified their experience with the Flipped Instruction Model as “Very Easy,” with a mean difficulty score of 34.00 out of 40. Students’ perceptions of the Flipped Instruction Model were overwhelmingly positive, with 50% classifying their attitudes as “Very Positive” and the remaining 50% as “Positive.” The mean perception score was 30.42 out of 40. Students particularly valued the preparation phase, reporting that studying the material before class made them feel more prepared, increased their independence, and increased their engagement during class discussions. Flexibility, easy access to resources, and opportunities for reflection and repetition were highlighted as key benefits. While most students felt supported by their teachers and peers, some expressed a need for more direct guidance during class sessions, suggesting that a balance between autonomy and scaffolding is important. These findings support the existing literature that the Flipped Learning Model can reduce cognitive and affective barriers to language learning by allowing repeated exposure to materials and fostering a supportive and interactive classroom environment. The structure of the model not only facilitates comprehension but also promotes motivation, self-directed learning, and metacognitive awareness among students. However, the study also noted the importance of addressing external factors such as the home learning environment to maximize the benefits of flipped learning. In conclusion, the Flipped Learning Model proved to be highly effective and well-received in the context of an English listening classroom for junior high school students. The model minimized perceived difficulty, increased student engagement and motivation, and was positively received by learners. These results suggest that the Flipped Learning Model is a feasible and promising strategy for improving listening comprehension and should be considered for wider implementation in language education.

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the impacts of code-switching implemented by lecturers in offline and online English classes based on students’ opinions. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with participants consisting of fourth-semester students from the English Department at the State Institute of Islamic Studies of Bone. Participants were chosen using purposive sampling from a class that experienced blended learning and regular use of code-switching during instruction. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and documentation. The results showed that students experienced both positive and negative impacts from the use of code-switching in the classroom. Positively, students reported that code-switching helped them improve their vocabulary, understand English more effectively, and better comprehend the subject matter. Many students felt that when lecturers explained English terms using Indonesian, it allowed them to grasp complex ideas more clearly and retain new information more easily. Code-switching was also seen as a tool to reduce confusion and anxiety, especially for students who lacked confidence in their English skills. It enabled a smoother transition into English comprehension and made classroom learning more inclusive. In both online and offline settings, students expressed appreciation for this approach as it allowed them to focus more on the material rather than struggling with unfamiliar language. However, they still get a negative impacts which is from the online classes. The main negative impact stemmed from poor internet connections, which led to unclear audio and pronunciation issues, especially during English portions of the lecture. This made it harder for students to fully understand the content. Despite this, students developed strategies such as note-taking and asking for clarification to overcome these obstacles. Overall, the study concludes that code-switching, when used effectively, serves as a valuable instructional strategy in bilingual classrooms, enhancing comprehension, supporting language development, and helping students participate more confidently in both online and offline learning environments.

Abstract

This ethnographic study examines the relationships between digital literacy and learning interactions in Indonesian EFL classes. The study seeks to elucidate the role of digital tools in mediating educational practices and interactional dynamics between educators and learners. Data were collected over six months at SMA Negeri Ternate, Indonesia, using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and field notes, involving five teachers and ten students. The findings suggest a triadic interactional framework, comprising learner-content, learner-instructor, and learner-learner interactions, all of which are shaped by digital integration. Students utilized multimedia resources such as YouTube and ChatGPT, promoting independence and multimodal understanding. Nonetheless, conventional assumptions of teacher authority persisted, and digital disparities frequently limited peer participation. Three cultural elements emerged: technology-enhanced instruction, enduring teacher authority, and flexible peer solidarity. The study concludes that digital literacy alters classroom dynamics, but it must be grounded in local educational and cultural norms. It necessitates culturally responsive instructional design and fair access to improve engagement and maximize the educational potential of digital literacy.
