Abstract

ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores the effects of rewards and punishments on student motivation in speaking classes. Conducted with ten high school students, the research employs semi-structured interviews to gather insights into students' perceptions and experiences with different motivational strategies. The study aims to understand how rewards, such as verbal praise, stickers, the chance to select discussion topics, and punishments, including verbal reprimands and additional assignments, influence students' willingness and enthusiasm to engage in classroom discussions. The findings indicate that rewards significantly boost students' confidence and intrinsic motivation. Participants reported increased engagement and a positive attitude towards speaking activities when they received recognition and incentives. The study also emphasizes the importance of a supportive learning environment. Techniques such as triangulation, member checking, and prolonged engagement enhanced the study’s credibility and trustworthiness. Findings suggest that educators should prioritize positive reinforcement and constructive feedback while minimizing punitive approaches to foster a more motivating and supportive classroom atmosphere.

Abstract

The integration of technology in education has revolutionized teaching and learning practices across various disciplines. This comprehensive review seeks to investigate the effectiveness of Google Classroom in Teaching English (ELT) by examining the existing literature, to address the need for a comprehensive understanding of its impact on language learning. In addition, this review contributes to a cumulative understanding of technology integration in language education, thus informing future research directions and pedagogical approaches. This study uses the method of systematic review for the method to apply in this paper. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Google classroom in ELT by analyzing the literature. The results of this systematic review show that the platform is highly effective from two important aspects, namely, from the perspective of ELT and writing instruction. Teachers and educational institutions should integrate Google Classroom as one of the supporting tools in the learning process and the development of creative and effective communication and writing skills. This research also provides a new view in developing more innovative learning strategies and adjusting to the digital era that is currently developing.
