Abstract

Traditional learning approaches are now undergoing a transformation due to the inevitable trend of technology integration in education. One of the important innovations in this field is Nearpod, a dynamic platform that offers interactive and engaging opportunities for educators to develop English speaking skills. This study discusses the new practice of using Nearpod as a teaching tool to improve students' English speaking skills. This study uses a classroom action research method to briefly investigate the effectiveness of Nearpod. This platform has emerged as a cutting-edge development in English language teaching, providing new tools that can motivate and empower students to improve their speaking skills. This study reports the findings of the implementation of an online tool for synchronous and interactive learning, and its impact on students' activeness in intensive speaking learning. This classroom action research involved 46 students from the English Education Study Program, Makassar State University. Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 were conducted, and a survey was used to obtain data on students' views on the implementation of the Nearpod application. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, which showed that the experimental group showed slightly better improvements compared to the control group. In addition, low-ability students showed more significant improvements after using the program compared to their higher-ability friends. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating Nearpod into modern language learning approaches to better prepare students for success in a global environment.

Abstract

This research presents a comprehensive exploration of the implementation and potential impact of the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) on academic writing proficiency among English Language Education (EFL) students at Universitas Tomakaka, Indonesia. Utilizing a case study methodology, the report examines the theoretical foundations of GBA, its pedagogical stages, and its alignment with the specific needs of the Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Findings suggest that GBA, rooted in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), can significantly address common challenges in academic writing, such as limited vocabulary and rhetorical structures. However, its successful implementation is highly dependent on enhancing instructor expertise and careful curriculum integration. The report concludes with practical recommendations for the integration of GBA at Universitas Tomakaka and identifies further research directions to enrich the understanding of the effectiveness of GBA in the specific context of a BBA university. The report implicitly highlights the complex interrelationships between pedagogical theories, unique institutional contexts, and chosen research methodologies. By clearly identifying the “what” (GBA), “where” (Tomakaka University), and “how” (case study methodology), the report immediately establishes its scope and practical relevance. This concise synthesis shows how theoretical pedagogical approaches can be tested for real-world application in a specific educational setting, underscoring the applied nature of the proposed research.

Abstract

The Engfluence program is an interactive E-Learning-based course designed to improve students' English skills at SMAN 2 Makassar. This program was implemented in response to students' low English proficiency, particularly at the Elementary level (A1-A2 CEFR), as identified through pre-tests and classroom observations. The action research method was employed, involving problem identification, data collection, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The program utilized digital platforms such as Google Meet, Canva, Wordwall, Kahoot, and Quizizz to create interactive and engaging learning experiences. Evaluation results indicated significant improvements in students' English proficiency. The Beginner class (A1-A2) showed an average score increase of 23 points (from 52 to 75), while the Intermediate class (B1-B2) improved by 17 points (from 65 to 82). Key success factors included an intensive and structured learning approach, level-based class division, and the use of interactive digital media. The program not only enhanced students' understanding of the material but also boosted their confidence in using English for communication.

Abstract

Digital learning innovations have increasingly transformed English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly in promoting learner autonomy, engagement, and reflection. Among these innovations, e-portofolios have been recognised as powerful tools for integrating language learning with professional skills. However, previous research has primarily focused on e-portofolios in writing and general English context, while limited attention has been given to their use in teaching accounting vocabulary, where learners often struggle to understand and retain specific terminology. This gap between theoretical expectations and classroom realities highlights the need to explore how e-portfolios can facilitate vocabulary learning in ESP courses.  This study aims to investigate student’s experience with Google Sites e-portofolios for learning accounting vocabulary in an English for Accounting course at Bahasa Inggris Program Sarjana Terapan Study Program, Universitas Negeri Makassar. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the data were gathered from eight students through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. The findings revealed that students' first impressions were characterised by enthusiasm, curiosity, and a motivation to use Google Sites as an innovative learning platform. The process of creating and managing e-portfolios fostered creativity, organisation, and digital literacy, as students designed pages and linked vocabulary items to authentic accounting materials. Students perceived several benefits, including improved understanding and retention of accounting terms, enhanced confidence, and a stronger connection between academic learning and professional application. Despite minor challenges such as technical issues and time constraints, participants regarded e-portfolios as engaging and valuable learning tools. The study concludes that Google Sites e-portfolios effectively promote learner autonomy, reflection, and engagement in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context. It is recommended that future ESP instruction provide technical orientation and continuous support to maximise the benefits of e-portfolios in language learning.
