Abstract

This quasi experimental study aims to investigate how written retelling technique affects the reading comprehension of university students having different personality learning styles (introverted vs. extroverted). A reading comprehension test and a questionnaire were utilized to collect the data. Two groups of students were involved in the study, with the experimental group receiving the treatment of being taught using a written retelling technique and the control group being taught using the oral retelling technique. The results of the study revealed that the first group of students showed better performance in reading comprehension test than the latter group. Even though there was a significant difference between the extroverted and the introverted students in reading comprehension achievement, the findings suggest that written retelling technique was more effective regardless of the personality learning styles.  Permalink/DOI: dx.doi.org/10.17977/um015v45i12017p027

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of collaborative learning strategy on the reading comprehension of non-English department students at the university level. An effective reading comprehension not only talk about the ability to understanding the text, but also the capacity to interpret meaning and synthesize information from different text genre. Moreover, for the non-English department students who generally have different language competence with English department students, they often encounter a difficult situation in reading activity because of their limitation in language exposure. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines quantitative data from reading tests with qualitative insights from student interviews and classroom observations. Over one semester, students from various non-English department participated in collaborative activities, such as collaborative strategic reading and group discussions, designed to improve critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving. The quantitative results demonstrate significant improvements in reading comprehension, particularly in identifying main ideas, making inferences, and understanding vocabulary in context. Qualitative findings reveal that students found the collaborative learning environment is enjoyable and motivating, with many reporting that collaborative learning reduced their anxiety and enhanced their willingness to participate actively. This study highlights the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategy in improving reading comprehension among non-English department students and offers practical recommendations for integrating these strategies into diverse academic disciplines.Keywords: Collaborative Learning, Reading Comprehension, EFL, Non-English Department Student

Abstract

This literature review investigates how Virtual Reality (VR) is implemented and how it impacts learning in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). With the advancement of immersive technologies, Virtual Reality (VR) has become a promising tool to foster language learning by providing engaging, authentic and interactive environments. This review scrutinizes research studied in 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 that explores the utilizing of VR in boosting different language skills, including listening, speaking and writing. The findings indicate that immersive technologies such as VR, AR, and AI significantly enhance EFL learners’ language proficiency, critical thinking, motivation, and transferable 21st-century skills. Yet, the review also points out several challenges, such as limited resources, large class sizes, insufficient institutional support, teachers’ low TPACK, short VR exposure time, lack of scaffolding, low realism and interactivity in VR content, occurrences of cybersickness, and the limited scope of studies. Future research should adopt rigorous experimental designs, explore underrepresented language skills, examine affective and contextual factors, and prioritize teacher professional development to ensure effective, inclusive, and sustainable integration of immersive VR in EFL instruction.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching represents a significant shift in the evolution of contemporary literacy education. While AI has been extensively researched in speaking and writing, its pedagogical application in reading instruction remains relatively under-researched. This systematic literature review was conducted by synthesizing empirical research published in 2025, 2024 and 2023 that investigated the use of AI-based tools and platforms in EFL reading contexts. Based on a collection of journal articles that have been reviewed, the results of the review include pedagogical implementation of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction, current developments in the use of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction, empirical findings from previous studies, research gaps, practical and theoretical directions for the use of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction and recommendations for future research. The findings are that AI helps to improve students' reading motivation, learner engagement, reading performance, learner autonomy, cognitive and emotional engagement, task performance, inferencing skills and self-regulated learning. Undoubtedly, there are many things that need to be considered in the use of AI, such as technological accessibility, individual learner differences, ethical concerns and teacher preparedness. Then, the results of the analysis of previous research recommend the need for teacher training, important implications for learning design, and future research directions that view AI as a transformational catalyst in EFL reading education.

Abstract

This paper reports the outcomes of a ‘Community Service’ activity related to the implementation of the Deep Learning (DL) approach in English language teaching in Indonesia. The activity was conducted for junior high school English language teachers in Bogor regency, Indonesia. It outlines the design, implementation, and evaluation of a structured professional development program aimed at equipping teachers with the knowledge, skills, and reflective capacity needed to adopt Deep Learning within the framework of Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar curriculum. Drawing on Michael Fullan’s 6Cs framework (i.e., character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking), the activity emphasized pedagogical transformation that moves beyond traditional content delivery toward student-centered, inquiry-based learning. The program adopted a four-stage model: observation, socialization, training and mentoring, and evaluation. These stages allowed facilitators to map the instructional realities of the participants, co-construct relevant training content, and evaluate the impact through both qualitative and quantitative measures. The results indicated a significant increase in teachers’ awareness of DL principles, improved pedagogical confidence, and willingness to implement more meaningful and contextualized English Language Teaching (EFL) practices. Key themes explored included the coherence between DL and the national Profil Pelajar Pancasila, strategies to overcome implementation challenges, and the integration of AI tools to enhance 21st-century competencies. The findings suggest that DL offers a transformative avenue for revitalizing ELT in Indonesia by aligning global educational innovations with local policy goals. This paper recommends sustained investment in teacher training, digital infrastructure, and curricular alignment to ensure scalable and equitable adoption of DL nationwide.

Abstract

The integration of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) has transformed English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy by extending learning beyond classroom boundaries and supporting synchronous as well as asynchronous interactions. Although widely adopted, research on LMS use in EFL remains fragmented, producing varied findings across platforms, skills, and contexts. This study conducts a systematic literature review of empirical research published between 2020 and 2025 in Scopus, Copernicus, and Google Scholar databases. Six thematic areas were analyzed: pedagogical applications, emerging developments, empirical findings, research gaps, theoretical and practical implications, and directions for future inquiry. Findings demonstrate that platforms such as Moodle and MyELT enhance learner proficiency, motivation, and autonomy, especially when used with collaborative and learner-centered tasks. Video conference-supported LMSs provide authentic communicative opportunities, while localized systems such as E-Belajar illustrate context-sensitive adaptation. Nevertheless, challenges persist, including limited digital literacy, infrastructural inequalities, and insufficient institutional support. Emerging developments such as gamification, hybridized LMS ecosystems, mobile learning integration, and AI-driven feedback highlight the shift toward more adaptive and sustainable digital learning models. Theoretically, the review underscores sociocultural and constructivist perspectives by framing LMSs as mediators of interaction, collaboration, and autonomy. Practically, it stresses the importance of teacher training, institutional readiness, and policy alignment to optimize implementation. Future research should pursue longitudinal, comparative, and skill-focused investigations that leverage advanced LMS affordances to inform evidence-based pedagogical innovation in EFL education.
