Abstract

In recent years, integrating digital tools into education has gained momentum, particularly in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This study investigates the effectiveness of Beelinguapp, a bilingual reading application, in enhancing the reading comprehension skills of middle school learners in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving 26 middle school students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used Beelinguapp over six weeks, while the control group followed traditional reading instruction methods. Results reveal a statistically significant improvement in the achievement of reading comprehension in the experimental group. The study underscores the value of leveraging digital tools such as Beelinguapp in EFL classrooms, offering insights into the pedagogical implications of integrating technology to foster engagement, understanding, and motivation in reading activities.

Abstract

Paraphrasing is an important technique in academic writing to avoid plagiarism,understanding the material and convey information in your own language. This research examines the paraphrasing methods employed by English study program students at Indo Global Mandiri University in Palembang using qualitative research, specifically thematic analysis, and data collection techniques including tests and interviews. The study involved 8 out of 16 eighth-semester students. For the test, the participants paraphrased a descriptive text provided by the researcher, and the interview comprised 8 questions related to paraphrasing. The findings revealed that most techniques used by students were changing vocabulary and the obstacles when paraphrasing texts were lack of vocabulary and poor/lack of documentation skills. Moreover, the research found that the conditions for students to use paraphrasing were to avoid plagiarism, avoid direct quotations in writing, increase the clarity of writing, and complete writing assignments during class.

Abstract

The Current investigation was intended to see the feedback of EFL learners on the application of short movies in English-speaking classrooms. An experimental research design was consciously chosen, which primarily concerned descriptive statistical analysis. Fourteen samples were taken purposefully. To measure the EFL learners’ feedback, the distribution of questionnaire items set was utilized. Twenty-one items were designed to seek the aspects of psychology, linguistics, and literature. The findings revealed that positive feedback was made by the participants viewed from a psychological viewpoint (English learning preference, motivation, enthusiasm, and bravery). In addition, positive feedback was also earned by the majority of the EFL learners on their English-speaking aspects seen from a linguistics viewpoint (pronunciation, vocabulary, content, grammar, and fluency), excluding intonation. Besides, positive feedback was possessed by some other EFL learners concerned on literature viewpoint (generating moral lesson, understanding sequence of movie events, speaking and writing, as well as analyzing movie event), excluding story plot. Some following parties limited to English teachers, EFL students, stakeholders, and other researchers were offered several pedagogical implications.
