Abstract

This perspective article elaborates an instructional approach to business English learning utilizing a photovoice project as a strategy to promote a real-world learning encounter. In professional and vocational colleges, project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional strategy for promoting autonomous, collaborative, and authentic learning nuances. This article sheds light on how photovoice project fosters the students’ technical and business English learning experiences. The project empowers students to take charge of their learning, work collaboratively, and engage in real-world business context. This paper presents the concept of photovoice, learners’ autonomy and collaboration towards photovoice, authentic business English learning encounters, technology-integrated photovoice, project evaluation, and case studies on photovoice project. On top of that, language teachers can utilize project-based photovoice as a valuable tool for promoting innovative and engaging business English learning activities, thus providing students with contextual-based learning environment and preparing them for the real business world. It also brings several implications: 1) for vocational English teachers, implementing photovoice projects offers a powerful tool to create innovative and engaging learning activities, 2) for students, these projects provide a contextualized learning environment that prepares them for the real business world by developing practical language skills and industry-specific knowledge, and institutions will benefit by fostering an educational approach that bridges classroom learning with real-world applications, thereby enhancing the overall quality and relevance of their programs.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of an online-based hybrid learning model on students’ self-confidence in speaking English as a foreign language. Conducted at Universitas Negeri Makassar, the research involved 20 second-semester English education students enrolled in an Interactive Speaking course. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using NVivo software to uncover themes related to learners' confidence levels. The hybrid learning model integrated both synchronous platforms (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp) and asynchronous tools (e.g., Google Classroom, Instagram, YouTube, SYAM-OK), offering students flexibility and multiple forms of engagement. Findings revealed three distinct self-confidence profiles among students high, moderate, and low. Students with high self-confidence reported enhanced participation and reduced anxiety due to the hybrid model's supportive structure. Those with moderate self-confidence highlighted the benefits of decreased social pressure and the ability to control their learning environment. In contrast, students with low self-confidence continued to struggle despite the flexible format, citing persistent fear of judgment and speaking errors. The study concludes that while online-based hybrid learning can effectively foster self-confidence in speaking for many students, it may not suffice for learners with deeply rooted anxiety. These findings underscore the need for tailored pedagogical strategies that combine technological affordances with targeted confidence-building interventions to ensure inclusive and effective language instruction.
