Abstract

The integration of e-learning platforms in university settings has experienced notable growth, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative case study explored university lecturers' perceptions regarding the use of e-learning for teaching English literacy skills, specifically reading and writing. Semi-structured interviews were utilized for data collection with six lecturers from the English Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia, who taught literacy courses during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings revealed a spectrum of lecturers' experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward e-learning-based literacy instruction. While initial challenges were encountered during the transition to online learning, the lecturers recognized benefits such as flexibility, efficient material sharing, and enabling remote assignments. However, connectivity issues, difficulties monitoring student progress, and the need for robust technological skills were identified as significant challenges. The lecturers advocated learner-centered, multimodal pedagogical approaches and emphasized the importance of balanced, blended learning that integrates both traditional classroom and online elements. The study highlights the potential of e-learning for enhancing English literacy education while underscoring the need to address infrastructural and pedagogical barriers.

Abstract

This research endeavored to represent the results of students' grammar learning as recapitulated in the Collaborative video project. It strived to find out whether students were able to adapt the context of the video content with the usage of grammar itself. This was a qualitative case study research that departed from the results of the researcher's observations in class where students still have grammar scores below 70 and many students still duplicated sentences from the internet if requested to create a sentence using certain tenses in class. This research method was a descriptive analysis where the researcher transcribed utterances in three randomly selected videos and then categorized them into materials that have been studied in class over fourteen meetings. It was discovered that the three videos used more simple present tense and past tense. Meanwhile, material that never appeared in the video at all were past continuous and past perfect continuous. There were 33 simple present tense utterances in the first video, 18 utterances in the second video, and 6 utterances in the third video. Meanwhile, past tense utterance were 5 sentences in the first video, 9 sentences in the second video, and 6 sentences in the third video. The results of this collaborative video can increase students' creativity in adapting conditions to the use of grammar and can increase their vocabulary used in grammar. This research can be used as a reference for future researchers who desire to do something comparable by exploring different grammar points. Apart from that, this video projects can be used as a medium for further grammar learning. Keywords: Collaborative Video Project, Educational Context, Grammar Learning

Abstract

This deconstruction sought to determine students' views on the implementation of English Area on their English language skills and early 21st century skills. English Area was executed because seeing the situation in Majene Regency, there were still many students who lack English skills. In addition, students did not yet have a place to study after school hours end. This program was applied to improve their abilities, namely early 21st-century skills that are associated with English learning. This study wss descriptive quantitative where the instruments employed in this study were questionnaires and observation guides. The questionnaire used contains six indicators of early 21st-century skills, namely collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, character and collecting information. This study involved 28 students of grade VIII SMA 3 Majene. The results showed that the English Area program was able to improve collecting information skills with a value of 4.33, followed by collaboration and character skills with a value of 4.28. Therefore, further research needs to be done to enhance other early 21st-century skills associated with only one English skill so that the results are more significant.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in enhancing business English fluency among 30 Women micro-entrepreneurs in Makassar, Indonesia, through offline simulations of real-world business scenarios. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining pre/post-tests (modified IELTS Speaking Test) with qualitative data from interviews and observations to assess improvements in linguistic proficiency and confidence. Participants engaged in eight sessions of CTL-based activities, including negotiation role-plays, product presentations, case studies, and collaborative proposal writing, aligned with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and ESP principles. Quantitative results revealed significant gains: mean IBECT scores increased from 5.2 to 7.0 (Cohen’s d = 1.46, large effect), while self-reported confidence rose by 35% (p < 0.05). Qualitative insights highlighted enhanced critical thinking and strategic negotiation skills through simulations (e.g., adapting to non-verbal cues, tactical decision-making) and vocabulary expansion via peer collaboration. However, time constraints in role-plays were noted as a challenge, albeit fostering adaptability under pressure. Despite limitations such as a small sample and short intervention period, the findings underscored CTL’s potential to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering actionable strategies for inclusive, context-specific training programs. The study recommended flexible practices—like dual-role-play formats—to balance realism and pedagogical depth, ultimately empowering women entrepreneurs in global business contexts.
