Abstract

This article explores the impact of Critical Multilingual Literacy Awareness (CMLA) on enhancing critical thinking skills among literature students. By integrating multilingual texts with critical literacy practices, CMLA fosters a more nuanced approach to literary analysis, encouraging students to engage deeply with diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives. The study employs a qualitative case study methodology, involving 30 undergraduate literature students from varied linguistic backgrounds, and utilizes classroom observations, interviews, and written assignments to assess outcomes. Findings reveal significant improvements in students' abilities to conduct comparative analyses, understand contextual nuances, and engage in reflexive thinking. The results underscore the transformative potential of CMLA in literature education, advocating for its broader implementation to cultivate critical thinking and intercultural competence in an increasingly interconnected world. This research not only contributes to the academic discourse on multilingualism in education but also provides practical strategies for educators seeking to enrich their teaching practices.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of FLIPPITY, a web-based educational gamification platform, in improving English speaking fluency among elementary school students in Indonesia. English proficiency, particularly in speaking, is a significant challenge for students in non-English-speaking countries, including Indonesia, where English is not the primary language of instruction. The research focuses on students in grades 3 and 4 at SD MIN 1 Al-Iman, S.Dengki, Tanjungbalai, and examines how gamified content from FLIPPITY enhances student engagement, confidence, and speaking skills. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating pre- and post-tests, surveys, and observations to assess improvements in English speaking abilities. Findings indicate that students who engaged with FLIPPITY’s interactive activities, such as flashcards, quiz shows, and scavenger hunts, demonstrated significant progress in speaking fluency and expressed increased confidence in their English abilities. The study aligns with previous research by Richards and Renandya (2002) and Celce-Murcia and Olshtain (2000), which emphasize the importance of speaking proficiency in language learning. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-assisted language learning, specifically highlighting the role of gamification in fostering language skills among young learners. The results suggest that FLIPPITY offers a promising tool for enhancing English speaking fluency and motivating students in the Indonesian context.
