Abstract

This study sought to determine whether teaching tenses using grammar exercises will enhance the student's writing skills in terms of language use, content, and structure. The seven-nucleus approach is being used at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar. This approach is a way to memorize tenses using seven certain verbs in English which are present, past, perfect, future, modal, and continues verbs. The current study employed a pre-experimental design with a single group for the pre and post-tests. The sample only included one class of 10 pupils, chosen using the technique of cluster sampling. The results demonstrated that the student’s writing ability had improved. It was three indicators of progress: language use had improved by 22.96%; content had improved by 12.3%; and organization had improved by 22.83%. The overall improvement was 19.48%. When compared to the pretest before the treatment, the student's writing competence was 1950 on the posttest, and the value of the t-test (7.440) was higher than the t-table (2.262). The research concluded that the use of seven Nucleus was beneficial in improving students' skills of writing in terms of the language writing content, and organization at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar based on its findings and discussion.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education is increasingly vital, yet evidence regarding its effectiveness in specific learning contexts remains limited. This study addresses that gap by examining the impact of Moodle as a Learning Management System (LMS) on students’ English learning outcomes in a boarding school setting. A quasi-experimental pretest–post-test design was employed with 70 students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught through Moodle LMS, while the control group received instruction via conventional lectures. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed improvement in both groups, but the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores, as confirmed by t-test analyses (p < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that Moodle LMS not only enhances academic performance but also promotes greater engagement, active participation, and access to structured learning resources. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of Moodle, particularly within boarding school environments, where students benefit from continuous, technology-supported interaction. The research contributes to growing evidence on the role of LMS platforms in fostering 21st-century learning and recommends their broader implementation to strengthen English language instruction and digital literacy skills.

Abstract

Innovative teaching methods have emerged as a result of the educational environment being drastically altered by the quick development of technology and shifting societal needs. The goal of this research is to investigate current developments and trends that are influencing education going forward, such as gamification, immersive learning technology, artificial intelligence (AI)-based customized learning, hybrid learning, and lifelong learning programs. To have a thorough grasp of how instructors and students view and experience these advances, a qualitative study approach was utilized. Teachers and students with prior experience with innovative teaching methods made up the participants, who were chosen through purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with both multiple-choice and open-ended questions were used to gather data. Thematic analysis, which included coding, classification, and theme formulation, was used to examine the gathered data. Peer review, member verification, and triangulation methods were used to make sure the results were reliable. The results show that by boosting accessibility, engagement, and flexibility, digital technologies have improved student learning outcomes and instructional effectiveness. Key developments that promote more flexible and learner-centered education include gamification, AI-driven tailored training, hybrid learning models, and immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). But there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome, including the digital divide, teacher preparedness, ethical issues with AI, and institutional reluctance to change. The study comes to the conclusion that human-centered learning strategies that foster critical thinking, lifelong learning, character development, and social skills must be combined with technology innovation to shape education in the future. To prepare students for the complexity of the future, educational institutions must embrace technology breakthroughs and implement adaptable curriculum while upholding the core principles of education.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) research from 2015 to 2025, examining 571 documents indexed in Scopus, including articles, conference papers, book chapters, and reviews. The analysis addresses six research questions concerning publication growth, contributing sources, influential authors, leading countries, prominent keywords and themes, and the current research landscape. Using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix for co-word analysis, citation mapping, and network visualization, the study reveals a field that has matured significantly, with a notable acceleration in publications following the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings indicate that Computer Assisted Language Learning and System are the most prolific journals, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and China as leading contributors. Keyword analysis identifies four thematic clusters—ELT and CALL with socio-political dimensions, practical instructional applications, computational infrastructure, and theoretical foundations—revealing a paradigmatic shift from tool-centric to human-centric research, with emerging foci on multilingualism, diversity, and language ideology. The study also exposes epistemic inequality in global scholarly networks, with peripheral positioning of Global South contexts. This review contributes a unified framework for understanding TELL's intellectual structure and temporal evolution, identifies critical research gaps including limited attention to less commonly taught languages and translanguaging pedagogy, and provides implications for theory, pedagogy, and policy to guide future research directions.
