Abstract

This study investigates the acceptance and use of digital technology in English language teaching by teachers at SMA Negeri 2 Jeneponto. It focuses on their attitudes, the digital tools they implement, and the challenges they face. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with English teachers. The results show that most teachers hold a positive attitude toward the use of digital technology, recognizing its benefits in improving student engagement and enhancing learning outcomes. Teachers utilize various digital tools such as Smart TVs, LCD projectors, educational applications, and online platforms to create more interactive and flexible learning environments. However, despite this positive outlook, several obstacles hinder the effective integration of technology into the classroom. These challenges include limited access to reliable technical resources, insufficient institutional support, and varying levels of digital literacy among both teachers and students. To address these issues, the study suggests enhancing technological infrastructure, offering ongoing professional development programs, and establishing clear guidelines for the use of technology in teaching. These recommendations aim to support the successful adoption of digital tools in English instruction. Additionally, future studies are encouraged to examine the long-term effects of digital technology on students’ language proficiency and evaluate effective training models for teachers.

Abstract

This research was a qualitative case study aimed at investigating how teachers implement digital games in teaching English vocabulary and how these games impact young learners. The research subjects consisted of one English teacher and 20 fifth-grade students at SD Islam Athirah Bukit Baruga. Data were collected through observation checklists, field notes, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using four steps: data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings showed that the teacher implemented the Wordwall digital games systematically, starting from preparation, implementation, to evaluation. The use of Wordwall improved students’ vocabulary retention, participation, and confidence in learning English. Although some students preferred traditional methods such as textbooks, most found game-based learning more enjoyable and easier to understand. Challenges such as differences in student ability and technical issues were overcome through teacher support. Overall, digital games had a positive impact on vocabulary learning for young learners.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students’ perceptions of using YouTube as a tool for learning English vocabulary. Using a qualitative case study involving ten sixth-semester students from Universitas Negeri Makassar, the research investigates how students engage with YouTube to develop vocabulary. The findings show that students generally perceive YouTube as an effective learning medium due to its audiovisual nature, real-world context, and interactive content. Students reported that YouTube enables them to discover, understand, and evaluate vocabulary in authentic situations. However, issues like inaccurate subtitles and fast-paced speech were also noted. The study concludes that YouTube, when used selectively and purposefully, enhances students’ motivation and vocabulary comprehension.

Abstract

Abstrak. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) di Kawasan Wisata Rammang-Rammang, Maros, yang berfokus pada pemberdayaan kelompok ojek perahu. Selama ini kelompok hanya mengandalkan jasa antar-jemput wisatawan menggunakan perahu tanpa adanya inovasi lain, sehingga potensi wisata lokal belum optimal dimanfaatkan. Permasalahan utama yang ditemukan adalah belum adanya diversifikasi produk wisata, khususnya sport tourism, serta minimnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengelola layanan wisata berbasis olahraga dan kebugaran. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, ditawarkan solusi berupa pengembangan inovasi wisata melalui pemetaan jalur susur sungai, penyusunan standar operasional prosedur (SOP), dan pembuatan paket wisata kombinasi susur sungai dengan masase tradisional. Selain itu, dilakukan peningkatan kapasitas sumber daya manusia melalui pelatihan susur sungai dengan standar keselamatan serta pelatihan dasar masase untuk mendukung wellness tourism. Program ini diharapkan memberi dampak sosial berupa pemberdayaan masyarakat, peningkatan keterampilan, serta penguatan identitas lokal, dan dampak ekonomi berupa peluang usaha baru, peningkatan pendapatan, serta peningkatan daya saing destinasi wisata Rammang-Rammang. Kata Kunci: Diversifikasi Wisata, Sport Tourism, Ojek Perahu, Masase Tradisional

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions on the synchronous and asynchronous English grammar class. The population of this study were English Education students of the class of 2022 at Universitas Negeri Makassar. This study involved 18 participants determined through a purposive sampling technique. The interview was used as the main instrument to collect the data. The results of this study showed that most of the participants viewed synchronous mode negatively because of certain problems such as internet connection problems, ineffective content delivery, inaccurate live assessment, and the rapid unorganized discussion on WhatsApp Groups. Moreover, students tended to view asynchronous mode negatively as well because of the lack of validation and clarification, lack of participation in discussion, challenges in exploring materials leading to miscommunication, procrastination, and slow progress. However, blended synchronous and asynchronous mode was viewed positively since both modes complete one another. The combination of the two modes is expected to solve students’ problems related to learning platforms and learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the enhancement of students’ vocabulary after the application of video essays in an EFL classroom. The researcher employed a pre-experimental method using one group pre-test and post-test design. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and N-Gain analysis. The participants were 11th-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Tana Toraja, with a sample of 33 students. The vocabulary test focused on five aspects: meaning, word class, spelling, word use, and pronunciation. The Wilcoxon test results showed significant enhancement across all aspects with p-values less than 0.05, indicating that the gains were statistically significant. The N-Gain values ranged from 0.27 to 0.55, classified as moderate enhancement. These findings suggest that video essays, by combining visual and auditory elements, support vocabulary enhancement by providing contextualized, multimodal input. It is concluded that video essays can significantly enhance students’ vocabulary knowledge and are a promising tool for EFL instruction.Keywords: Video essay, vocabulary enhancement, EFL learners, multimodal learning
