Abstract

This study explores lecturers' perceptions of E-Lumak, a digital teaching platform used at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, three English Language Education lecturers were interviewed through semi-structured questions, providing in-depth insights. Thematic analysis of the data revealed that lecturers generally viewed E-Lumak positively. They highlighted several benefits, including improved pedagogy, easier management of the learning process, and greater flexibility and efficiency in teaching. However, challenges such as technical issues, time-consuming material preparation, and difficulties navigating certain features of the platform were also noted. Despite these challenges, the lecturers reported that the overall teaching and learning experience was not significantly hindered. This research emphasizes the need to integrate digital platforms like E-Lumak into educational settings, as they can enhance teaching effectiveness and improve the overall learning experience, despite certain obstacles.

Abstract

The internationalization of higher education creates both benefits and challenges for international students. While academic issues are routinely prioritized, non-academic challenges such as homesickness, culture shock, and social isolation are sometimes disregarded. This study looks at the non-academic experiences of international students at an Islamic University in Indonesia. Using qualitative interviews and thematic analysis, this study identifies substantial problems in students' assimilation to local culture, as well as the effectiveness of institutional support. The findings suggest that colleges should broaden their support services beyond academics to include emotional and social well-being. This study adds to the overall understanding of international student experiences and makes recommendations for non-Western higher education institutions.

Abstract

Writing the background section of a thesis could be a challenge for final-year students, especially when it comes to using correct grammar and constructing a logical flow. Grammarly, a widely used grammar checking tool, is often relied upon to improve writing quality. This study aims to find out English Education students' perspectives and experiences of using Grammarly to help them write their thesis background. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six final-year students who had used the free version of Grammarly. The findings revealed that Grammarly effectively detects basic grammatical errors such as tenses, punctuation, and article usage, and increases students’ writing confidence. However, limitations include feature restrictions, dependency on internet access, and occasional inaccuracy in feedback. Students found Grammarly helpful as a preparatory tool, but acknowledged it cannot replace supervisor feedback. In conclusion, Grammarly supports grammar correction and confidence-building but should be used as a complementary, not a substitute, academic writing aid.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using picture media in learning English speaking skills for eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Kendari. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design involving 32 students of grades VIII-8 selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through oral tests assessed based on aspects of fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests with the help of the SPSS program. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' speaking skills after learning using picture media, with an average score increasing from 11.81 in the pre-test to 21.19 in the post-test. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 0.05, which means there was a significant difference between the results of the pre-test and post-test.

Abstract

Assessing students' English proficiency is a crucial aspect in evaluating learning effectiveness, particularly in English Language Education study programs. However, limited research has examined student achievement in the context of online test-based evaluation. This study aimed to determine students' English proficiency levels based on Duolingo English Practice Test (DEPT) scores and examine their implications for English language teaching in higher education. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach through a survey of 60 students from semesters 2, 4, and 6. Data were obtained through independent DEPT score collection uploaded by respondents via Google Form. The results showed that most students were at a moderate proficiency level, with average scores ranging from 75 to 89. Only a small proportion of students achieved the high category, and there was significant variation between individuals and between semesters. These findings suggest a need for re-evaluation of implemented learning strategies and the importance of increasing students' exposure to contextual language practices. Programs such as Student Talent Search and English Language Day can be supportive tools, but their implementation needs to be optimized to have a significant impact on improving language proficiency. This study contributes to highlighting the importance of synergy between learning evaluation, student motivation, and the quality of language teaching strategies in higher education.
