Abstract

Integrating digital technology in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has expanded opportunities for language learning, particularly for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) students in non-English major programs. However, limited research has explored how these learners use internet-based tools in localised university contexts. This study investigates the use of digital technology in ESP learning among CALD students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palembang. Employing a descriptive mixed-methods design, data were gathered through questionnaires (n=505) and focus group discussions with ESP lecturers. Findings reveal that smartphones (53%) and laptops (28%) are the most commonly used devices, with tools such as Google Translate, Chatgpt, Zoom, and Grammarly supporting English learning inside and outside the classroom. Over 63% of students rated internet tools as “very useful” for accessing field-specific materials, and 44.65% identified technology as a primary companion to classroom instruction. Students also reported gains in language proficiency, self-regulated learning, and intercultural communication. Despite these benefits, students face persistent barriers, including limited digital skills (80.6%), insufficient device access (76.8%), slow internet (66.7%), and lack of technical support (63%). Nonetheless, 68.87% of students viewed technology as helpful for future learning, and half strongly believed it promotes learning flexibility. Students also called for improved digital training (44.65%) and infrastructure (33.02%). The findings highlight the need for targeted digital support and culturally responsive content to ensure inclusive and effective ESP instruction.

Abstract

The implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) method in the teaching of English at the junior high school level has proven to be beneficial and effective, as evidenced by the research findings. PBL focuses on the learning process itself by incorporating real-world issues and problems that are aligned with the school curriculum. This approach addresses various challenges that may arise during the learning process, such as lack of engagement, learning disabilities, language barriers, limited resources, and teacher-student relationships. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate perception of teachers regarding PBL and traditional method of teaching English at the junior high School level. The research design used was descriptive, and it involved data collection through interviews, as well as analysis. The data were gathered from various English teachers at different Junior High Schools in South Sumatra, with a total of 34 participants. A questionnaire was used to measure perception of teachers regarding both learning methods in teaching. The results showed a dominant preference for PBL as the selected method. Moreover, teachers also acknowledged a significant improvement in the learning outcomes of students. The contributions of PBL were twofold, 1) it promoted active learning by requiring students to take an active role during the learning process, and 2) it developed problem-solving skills by requiring the identification, analysis, and resolution of real-world problems.
