Abstract

Currently, schools are encouraged to incorporate local content into learning activities. However, in some remote areas, the availability of supporting teaching materials remains limited, creating a challenge to effective implementation. Therefore, this study aims to develop a trilingual picture dictionary designed for elementary students to enhance their vocabulary acquisition and language skills in three languages: English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Pamona. The dictionary serves as an educational tool to support multilingual education by providing visual aids and culturally relevant content that is accessible to young learners. A research and development (R&D) approach was employed, incorporating the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) instructional design model to systematically create and refine the dictionary. The stages of analysis, design, and development have been conducted, including the selection of eight themes, which were subsequently developed into a trilingual picture dictionary. However, the remaining steps of the model will be done in following research in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the problems faced by Grade XI students of MAN Insan Cendekia (IC) Palu in mastering English vocabulary through Kahoot, a game-based digital learning platform. Although Kahoot has been implemented in vocabulary instruction and is recognized for increasing student motivation and engagement, many students still experience difficulties during the learning process. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The participants were Grade XI students of MAN IC Palu in the academic year 2025/2026, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed four major categories of problems. First, technical issues, particularly unstable internet connections and slow device performance, frequently interrupted Kahoot sessions. Second, time pressure, as the limited response time caused anxiety and encouraged students to prioritize speed rather than understanding. Third, linguistic challenges, including difficulties in understanding word meanings, spelling, and pronunciation of unfamiliar vocabulary. Fourth, psychological factors, where the competitive features of Kahoot motivated some students but increased anxiety in others. The study concludes that although Kahoot provides an interactive and enjoyable learning environment, its effectiveness in supporting vocabulary mastery depends on several factors, including adequate technological infrastructure, suitable time allocation, clear teacher instructions, and meaningful feedback after quizzes. These findings are expected to help teachers design more effective and supportive vocabulary learning activities using Kahoot in EFL classrooms and improve students’ vocabulary development.

Abstract

In the digital era, online platforms have become popular learning resources, especially for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study aims to explore students’ perspectives regarding the use of Wattpad, specifically focusing on their practices and challenges in enhancing reading comprehension at Tadulako University. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven students of the English Education Study Program who actively use Wattpad to read English texts. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed two major themes: perceived benefits and encountered challenges. The results showed that students perceived Wattpad positively as it increased their reading motivation, enriched their vocabulary, improved their reading comprehension, and encouraged the use of active reading strategies such as rereading and using contextual clues. However, students also encountered several challenges, including difficulties in understanding unfamiliar vocabulary and complex grammar, interpreting implied meanings, comprehending informal language or slang, and dealing with distractions such as notifications and reading fatigue. This study implies that Wattpad serves as a valuable supplementary learning medium that supports extensive reading practice. Nevertheless, guidance and appropriate reading strategies are still required to optimize its benefits and overcome the existing limitations.
