Abstract

This paper examines how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) affects students' engagement in English when taught in a virtual learning environment. The case study was classroom-based and used data collected through interviews with twenty-five participants engaged in a virtual PjBL enactment. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while member checking was also used to ensure the data’s trustworthiness. The study found that the PjBL enactment had improved students’ learning engagement in three ways. First, the cognitive impact was seen in the participants’ experiences of a culture of self-directed learning where they were involved in the inquiry process through scaffolding activities. Second, their behavioral engagement was seen in their active involvement in project presentations and their shift in attitude towards the use of technology in virtual PjBL. Finally, their emotional engagement was reflected in the increased personal self-esteem and the change in the lecturer-student interaction. This research suggests that PjBL should be used more extensively in virtual classrooms because it positively impacts the students’ learning engagement and boosts their motivation to learn English.

Abstract

Mind Mapping has gained recognition as a visual learning strategy that enhances comprehension and engagement. Yet, its application in dialogic collaborative learning within English Language Education remains underexplored. This study explores students’ perceptions of Mind Mapping as a collaborative learning tool, highlighting its pedagogical potential and challenges in higher education. Conducted at Antasari State Islamic University Banjarmasin, the research involved six English Language Education students from the 2022 cohort. Data were gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s Interactive Model to identify key themes. Findings reveal that students view Mind Mapping as a productive tool that simplifies complex material, promotes dialogic interaction, and fosters creativity and critical thinking through deeper content engagement. However, three main challenges emerged: (1) differing preferences for digital versus manual mapping, (2) unequal participation among group members, and (3) excessive focus on visual aesthetics over content depth. The study concludes that effective integration of Mind Mapping in collaborative learning requires teacher facilitation, explicit guidance, and a balanced emphasis on both form and meaning. These insights contribute to research on collaborative learning in English Language Education and offer practical implications for educators seeking to incorporate visual tools in EFL contexts.
