Abstract

General Background: Digital technologies have become integral to contemporary language education, particularly in supporting multimodal learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Specific Background: Writing, especially recount text composition, remains a complex skill for EFL learners due to demands on organization, grammar, and creativity, prompting teachers to adopt visual–digital tools such as Canva to support instruction. Knowledge Gap: Despite growing use of Canva in classrooms, limited research has examined how teachers strategically design, implement, and adapt Canva-based writing lessons in authentic EFL settings. Aims: This study aimed to explore teachers’ strategies in using Canva to support students’ recount text writing in an Indonesian junior high school. Results: Using a qualitative case study involving two English teachers, data from interviews, observations, and document analysis revealed three core strategies: purposeful planning aligned with genre structure, visual scaffolding during writing activities, and adaptive responses to technological and learner challenges. Novelty: The study provides an in-depth description of pedagogically grounded practices showing Canva as a structured instructional tool rather than merely a design application. Implications: Findings suggest that successful integration of visual-digital platforms in EFL writing depends on teacher readiness, digital competence, and flexible instructional design, offering practical guidance for educators seeking to implement technology-supported writing instruction. Highlights: Instructional planning aligned visual templates with narrative structure components. Guided frameworks enabled learners to organize ideas while composing texts. Flexible adjustments addressed connectivity issues and varying technical abilities. Keywords: Canva; EFL Writing; Recount Text; Teacher Strategies; Digital Pedagogy

Abstract

The rapid expansion of social media has transformed educational practices by introducing technology-mediated learning environments that are familiar to students. General Background: Social networking platforms are increasingly integrated into language education to support engagement and authentic communication. Specific Background: Instagram offers visual content and caption features that enable learners to produce descriptive texts based on images while interacting with peers and teachers. Knowledge Gap: Despite prior studies on social media in language learning, limited research has examined the use of Instagram captions combined with a student-centered approach in Indonesian secondary schools. Aims: This study investigated whether learning through Instagram captions improves students’ ability to write descriptive texts. Results: Using a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups, statistical analysis of pre-test and post-test scores showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher writing scores than the control group. Instagram functioned as contextual media that supported idea generation, vocabulary development, and paragraph organization through active participation and feedback. Novelty: The study introduces the integration of Instagram caption writing within a student-centered framework at MA Islamiyah Candi Sidoarjo. Implications: Findings suggest that social media-based tasks can serve as practical alternatives for teaching descriptive writing and fostering active learning in English as a Foreign Language classrooms. Highlights: Experimental participants achieved higher post-test outcomes than the comparison group. Visual prompts and online interaction supported idea development and textual organization. Classroom activities encouraged active participation through peer feedback and revision. KEYWORDS: Instagram; Descriptive Writing; EFL Students; Student-Centered Learning; Social Media

Abstract

General Background The integration of digital and artificial intelligence technologies has become increasingly prominent in English language education, particularly to support writing development among learners of English as a Foreign Language. Specific Background Writing recount texts requires accurate grammar control, especially the simple past tense, which remains a persistent difficulty for vocational high school students. Knowledge Gap While previous studies on Grammarly mainly focus on senior high schools and universities, evidence from vocational school contexts is still limited. Aims This study aimed to examine whether the use of the Grammarly application contributes to students’ achievement in writing recount texts. Results Using a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design with 28 students in each group, the experimental class obtained a higher post-test mean score (87.86) than the control class (80.54), with a statistically significant difference (t = 3.337, p = 0.002), alongside a positive gain score and reduced score dispersion. Novelty The study provides empirical data from an underrepresented vocational education setting and demonstrates structured integration of automated feedback with guided revision practices. Implications The findings indicate that AI-based proofreading tools can be systematically incorporated into EFL writing instruction to support grammatical accuracy and more consistent learner performance 212506,+newartikel+ilmiah+masyi… .

Abstract

General Background: Reading is a fundamental skill in English language learning and plays a crucial role in developing communicative competence in a global context. Specific Background: Technology-based media, particularly web-based interactive tools such as the Wordwall application, are increasingly integrated into classroom instruction to support engaging learning experiences. Knowledge Gap: Despite the growing use of digital learning platforms, the Wordwall application had not previously been utilized at the research site, leaving uncertainty regarding its role in supporting students’ reading performance. Aims: This study aimed to examine whether the use of the Wordwall application in teaching reading could improve junior high school students’ reading achievement. Results: Using a quantitative experimental approach with pre-test and post-test measures involving 26 students, the findings showed an increase in the mean score from 73.65 before treatment to 85.19 after implementation, supported by paired sample t-test results indicating statistical significance. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence from a real classroom context where the application had not been previously applied, demonstrating the practical value of interactive web-based tools for reading instruction. Implications: The results suggest that integrating game-based digital platforms into English instruction can support more engaging learning environments and may be considered by teachers seeking alternative strategies to facilitate reading development. Highlights: Post-intervention scores were higher than baseline measurements across participants. Learners showed greater classroom enthusiasm during technology-supported activities. Interactive web tools provided a practical option for assessment and practice. Keywords: Wordwall Application; Reading Achievement; Junior High School; Digital Learning Media; English Instruction
