Abstract

In the domain of learning English as a foreign language, there are ongoing discussions regarding the effectiveness of visual learning media in developing contextual and meaningful language skills. This study presents Jewitt and Mayer’s multimodal learning theory, Kolb’s experiential learning theory, and project-based learning approaches as analytical frameworks for exploring the role of dioramas in language instruction. The three theories emphasize that learning experiences are enhanced when students engage through multiple channels of representation (visual, linguistic, spatial) and actively participate in creating meaning through collaborative projects. An extensive review of the literature from the past five years indicates that dioramas effectively enhance contextual vocabulary acquisition, improve both oral and written language production, foster critical thinking, and promote cultural awareness. Dioramas are recognized as effective and practical tools that can be employed across various educational levels and are adaptable to advancements in technology. Theoretical implications indicate that the use of dioramas as a pedagogical method in English language education can be effective when thoughtfully integrated into the curriculum, supported by comprehensive teacher training, and supplemented with pertinent guides addressing both local and global issues.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that a low-tech blended learning model, which integrates locally contextualized video materials and Google Classroom, can significantly improve English grammar achievement among junior high school students in a remote island context. At SMP Negeri Tiakur in Maluku Barat Daya, Indonesia, a single-cycle classroom action research intervention with thirteen eighth-grade students resulted in a 51.8% mean score increase (from 4.46 to 6.77) and enhanced engagement, motivation, and digital adaptability. To better contextualize this improvement, the 51.8% gain in mean scores translates to an effect size above the general educational 'hinge point' of 0.40, as proposed by John Hattie, indicating a practically significant impact on learning outcomes. Most students (89%) indicated that blending cultural content with technology made English learning more meaningful and accessible. These findings reinforce the view that the impact of digital pedagogy depends on meaningful contextual integration rather than technological sophistication. The study contributes to understanding how culturally grounded, low-tech blended learning can empower learners in underserved educational environments.
