Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze students' perceptions on the implementation of blended learning in the English Language Education Study Program at Tadulako University. This study involved 100 students from the class of 2024 to explore students' views regarding the implementation of blended learning. The research findings indicate that students have fairly moderate views on blended learning in the context of English language learning. They believe that blended learning stimulates active engagement, communication, and critical thinking. Furthermore, students perceived several benefits, particularly related to the integration of online assignments and contributions from classmates in understanding new material. On the other hand, students also faced several challenges, such as ineffective online interactions, difficulty maintaining focus during online sessions, limited participation in online discussions, and the need for longer time to complete assignments. Some students also felt that blended learning did not fully improve their interpersonal communication and understanding of English language learning materials. In conclusion, blended learning brings both positive and negative aspects to the English language learning process. Therefore, improvements in interaction, participation, focus, and material understanding are needed to improve blended learning effectiveness.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) on students’ vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. Vocabulary is a fundamental aspect of language learning, yet many students struggle to master it due to lack of motivation and conventional teaching methods. To address this problem, the researcher applied AR-based learning using the Assemble Edu application, which provides 3D visuals and interactive features to improve engagement. This study used a quasi-experimental method with two groups: an experimental class that received AR-based instruction and a control class that received traditional instruction. Both classes were given a pre-test and post-test to measure vocabulary mastery. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with an average post-test score of 82.00, compared to 59.80 in the pre-test. Meanwhile, the control class only increased from 63.00 to 72.40. Statistical analysis using SPSS showed that the difference between the two groups was significant (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.001), indicating that AR had a strong positive effect on vocabulary acquisition. These findings support previous research showing that AR enhances motivation, memory retention, and contextual understanding in language learning. The use of AR aligns with constructivist learning theory and supports the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes student-centered and technology-integrated learning. In conclusion, AR-based learning can effectively improve students’ vocabulary mastery and is recommended as a modern instructional strategy in English language teaching

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is essential for EFL students because it supports effective communication and overall English language proficiency. Since classroom instruction alone is often insufficient for sustained vocabulary development, many students engage in independent learning beyond formal instruction. However, limited qualitative studies have explored students’ experiences and challenges in independent vocabulary learning, particularly within Indonesian higher education, where English is learned as a foreign language and opportunities for authentic language exposure are relatively limited. This study aimed to explore English Education students’ experiences in learning English vocabulary through independent learning and to identify the challenges they encountered at an Indonesian university. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving 30 English Education students who completed open-ended questionnaires, with five participants subsequently selected for semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students employed various learning strategies, digital resources, and social support while encountering challenges in setting learning goals, maintaining learning consistency, managing distractions, monitoring progress, and evaluating learning strategies. The study concludes that successful independent vocabulary learning depends on effective self-regulation and provides pedagogical insights for promoting learner autonomy in Indonesian EFL higher education.
