Abstract

This study investigated how lecturers designed their teaching materials and what constraints they encountered in using the materials. It was a qualitative research using a phenomenological design  which involved lecturers of English as general subject at faculties of economic, engineering and teacher training and education as the respondents. To obtain data, the respondents were scheduled  to deliver their responses in semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that the respondents selected their material on the basis of RPS. In order to fulfill students’ need related to the major they have chosen, they used some eBooks of English for Business, Business Communication, Cambridge Online, Bursa Efek Jakarta and English for Engineering to select the material. The respondents realized the importance of integrating four language skills, since the limitation of time some of them focused their teaching on reading skill and vocabulary while some others put much pressure on practicing speaking and writing which they thought more important. Another finding  also revealed that some constraints the respondents encountered during the teaching and learning process were: 1) some students were not very enthusiastic in learning, 2) some students were not confident, they  did not join the class seriously and tended to show low comprehension in learning English, 3) some respondents stated that time allocation in teaching EGP was not enough and  4) they also had not enough time to check or give comment on students’work

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions and the benefits of using the Heyzine Flipbook as a digital learning medium among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 11 Palembang in the 2025/2026 academic year. Employing a quantitative survey design, the study involved 165 students selected through cluster random sampling from a population of 392 students. Data were collected using a close-ended questionnaire based on a four-point Likert scale, covering two main aspects: students’ perceptions and perceived benefits. The instrument demonstrated high reliability with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.890. The findings revealed that 98.12% of students expressed positive perceptions toward the Heyzine Flipbook. The application enhanced students’ motivation, improved comprehension, and supported English language development, indicating its effectiveness as an engaging and accessible digital learning tool. It also promoted independent learning and increased students’ engagement through interactive and visually appealing features, contributing to a more effective classroom learning environment overall in diverse instructional contexts and settings.
