Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is one of the key courses in several faculties at the Muhammadiyah University of Parepare. Looking at the importance of ESP itself, it is a collection of data related to student interest in non-formal majors in the Faculty of Education and Sciences. The study used quantitative descriptive designs to analyze students' needs in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses. The study involved eight non-formal education students from semester one to semester six. Using the questionnaire as the main instrument, the study was able to collect relevant data from the students. According to the data from the questionnaires that have been disseminated, students can enhance their English language skills by learning English for Specific Purposes, and there are some opinions among students that in ESP teaching, the use of Indonesian as an introductory language has a considerable influence on their understanding of the language.

Abstract

Gamification is gaining increasing attention in English Language Teaching (ELT) as a strategy to increase learner engagement and motivation through game elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and digital platforms such as Kahoot, Duolingo, and Quizizz. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) analyzes 30 empirical studies published between 2021 and 2025 using the PRISMA framework to investigate the effects of gamification on learner motivation and engagement. The review finds that gamification generally has a positive impact on learner participation and enjoyment, increasing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. However, challenges remain regarding the long-term sustainability of these motivational benefits and the risks of over-reliance on extrinsic rewards. The analysis also reveals that while digital tools dominate gamification in ELT, the use of mixed or adaptive strategies is limited. Furthermore, little research addresses the long-term effects of gamification on language proficiency and skill retention. These findings highlight the need for future research to explore adaptive gamification models, the integration of non-digital elements, and their alignment with pedagogical principles. This review offers valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers who wish to implement effective and sustainable gamification strategies in ELT.

Abstract

The study addresses the persistent issue of low student motivation and engagement in English learning, which often leads to suboptimal academic outcomes. To tackle this problem, the research explores the integration of Team Game Tournament (TGT) and QuizWhizzer, combining gamification and collaborative learning strategies. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of this method in improving English learning outcomes among junior high school students. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 29 ninth-grade students from UPTD SMPN Satap 9 Barru during the 2024–2025 academic year. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group utilized TGT and QuizWhizzer, while the control group used Quizizz. Pre-test and post-test data were collected, and a t-test analysis was conducted to measure the impact of the intervention. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in the experimental group’s post-test scores, indicating the method’s effectiveness in enhancing student motivation, engagement, and academic performance. The findings suggest that integrating gamification and collaborative strategies can provide an innovative and effective solution to improve learning outcomes in English education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of teacher participation in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) on the enhancement of teacher competencies in UPTD SMAN 2 Polewali. A quantitative approach was employed, using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the level of teacher engagement in PLCs and their professional competencies, including pedagogical, professional, social, and personal aspects. The findings reveal that active participation in PLCs significantly improves teachers' ability to adopt innovative and effective teaching strategies, manage classrooms, and engage in reflective practices. Moreover, PLCs provide a collaborative space for teachers to share experiences, address challenges, and develop joint solutions, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous improvement in educational quality. Despite these promising results, this study is limited to a specific local context, and the use of quantitative methods restricts the exploration of in-depth interactions within PLCs. Future research should incorporate mixed methods and expand to diverse regions to achieve broader generalizability and deeper insights.
