Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how students felt about using online courses during the epidemic. Eighteen students from Aisyah University of Pringsewu were surveyed for this study. To get a more nuanced understanding of the respondents' perspectives, a descriptive qualitative approach was adopted. The findings highlight the importance of having reliable and constant connection to the internet for effective online education. Most students have a poor impression of online education due to three key factors: the quality of the instructional design and delivery, the importance of teacher involvement, and the lack of student engagement. In conclusion, student opinion of online education is indifferent. Therefore, it is essential to provide students with as much transparent assistance with the technological components of online learning as feasible. In addition, schools should give students with free internet data bundles so that everyone has the same access to online resources. Finally, for an online classroom to be successful, teachers need to constantly reflect on and adjust their methods of instruction.

Abstract

Amid the increasing demand for emotionally resonant and learner-driven instruction in EFL contexts, this study offers a novel exploration of how Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) can transform vocabulary acquisition into an affective, immersive, and socially collaborative experience. Adopting a phenomenological approach, the research investigates the lived experiences of 13 second-semester EFL students at Universitas Aisyah Pringsewu as they engaged with gamified platforms such as Wordwall. Through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, five key themes emerged: heightened learner interest, enhanced peer interaction, improved retention through contextual and repeated exposure, minor but manageable technological barriers, and deep emotional engagement throughout the learning process. The results indicate that DGBL not only supports cognitive aspects of vocabulary learning but also stimulates learners’ motivation, confidence, and autonomous behavior. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of integrating digital games into EFL classrooms to enrich both the cognitive and emotional dimensions of language learning
