Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of literature-based instruction in fostering English language proficiency among junior secondary school students in Makassar, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected from 120 students and 8 teachers across four public junior high schools through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, pre- and post-tests, and document analysis over one academic semester. Findings reveal that classes utilizing literary texts demonstrated significantly higher improvements in vocabulary acquisition (27.3%), reading comprehension (23.1%), and writing skills (19.7%) compared to control groups using conventional textbooks. Furthermore, qualitative analysis indicates enhanced student engagement, cultural awareness, and critical thinking skills when literature served as the primary instructional material. The study concludes that systematically integrated literary materials provide a comprehensive foundation for language development that addresses both linguistic competence and higher-order thinking skills essential for adolescent learners at this critical developmental stage.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of bilingual teaching held by both teachers and students, as well as the processes used to conduct bilingual language instruction and the results obtained from using bilingual language education. The qualitative research approach was utilized for this investigation. For the purpose of this study, a teacher and ten students from the XI IBB Man 2 Bone Class served as participants and served as the study's subjects. In addition to that, the data gathering was done by a combination of observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicated that teachers and students had a favorable impression of bilingual education, placing it in the category of highly perceived bilingual education. The incorporation of bilingual education, which is soundly founded on Baker's theory (2001), comprises the separation of language and the concurrent use of language inside a lesson. Last but not least, there was a beneficial effect that teaching students in two languages has on the overall accomplishment of such students. The present study implies that the bilingual education approach could foster students' EFL repertoires in the context of Senior high school students and specifically within rural regions, as evidenced by the study.

Abstract

This comparative study explores the impact of cooperative learning strategies on classroom engagement and academic achievement in secondary education. Employing a quasi-experimental research design, the research involves a diverse group of secondary school students and teachers. The experimental group experiences cooperative learning strategies, while the control group follows traditional teacher-centered methods. Findings reveal a significant increase in classroom engagement within the experimental group, marked by enhanced student participation and a positive learning atmosphere. Academic achievement shows notable improvements, emphasizing the efficacy of cooperative learning in fostering deeper understanding and critical thinking skills. Teacher perspectives undergo positive shifts, reflecting increased job satisfaction, while students express a preference for the collaborative nature of cooperative learning. Positive changes in group dynamics, contextual considerations such as class size, and the crucial role of teacher commitment emerge as significant factors. The study underscores the transformative potential of cooperative learning in secondary education and advocates for its integration into educational policies and ongoing professional development initiatives.

Abstract

Digital learning has become a potential learning tool since the COVID pandemic which causes the use of new technologies including digital games-based language learning. However, the implementation still has challenges due to technical, instructional, and financial barriers. Previous studies suggest exploring more teaching experiences related to the use of digital games-based language learning for future contributions. This study aims to explore the implementation of digital games-based language learning in higher education. To achieve this goal, this study was conducted in an Indonesian higher education, the State University of Makassar by applying a qualitative case study to collect data. The researcher collected the data from 2 lecturers recruited using a convenient sampling technique. The thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data. This study explores teacher experiences in using digital games-based language learning in a speaking classroom. This study found that the lecturers plan, implement, and evaluate digital games-based language learning in three categories namely well, moderate, and low implemented. From this result, it is claimed academically that digital games-based language learning (DGBLL) can be planned, implemented, and evaluated strategically in speaking classrooms based on learning objectives, learning outcomes, and students' learning needs. Combining technology with game-based learning, education can be more dynamic and relevant, accommodating a variety of learning styles and motivating students to be more actively involved in the learning process.
