Abstract

This study delves into the efficacy of microteaching as a pedagogical tool for enhancing reflective practices among pre-service teachers. Employing a case study approach, the research investigates the experiences and reflections of a cohort of pre-service teachers who participated in microteaching practice over a specified period. The study aims to discern the direct influence of microteaching on the development of reflective practices and explore the underlying mechanisms through which this impact occurs. This research elucidates the nuanced relationship between microteaching and reflective practices through qualitative data analysis gathered from participant reflections and interviews. Pre-service teachers' written reflections and open-ended interviews are used to collect data on their reflective teaching. The reflective journal records students' experiences during microteaching practice, while interviews provide insights into their reflective practices and their approaches to their professional growth. The findings of this study show that reflecting on teaching practices can influence the improvement of pre-service teachers' instructional strategies. This research highlights the importance of instructional strategies in implementing learning innovations. Indicators of instructional strategies were found: teaching plans and approaches, goals and objectives, teaching experiences, methods and strategies, memorable classroom events, and barriers and solutions.

Abstract

The integration of gamification into technology-based English language teaching (ELT) has emerged as a promising strategy to address low student engagement in EFL classrooms. This study investigated the effectiveness of gamification elements embedded in digital platforms to enhance student engagement among tenth-grade students at Baitul Qur’an Al Askar Madrasah Aliyah. Employing a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design, the research involved 36 students who participated in gamified English lessons utilizing platforms such as Kahoot! and Quizizz. Gamification elements, including points, badges, leaderboards, and instant feedback, were integrated into vocabulary, grammar, and speaking activities over a 12-week intervention period. Student engagement was measured using a validated 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from the Student Engagement Instrument, supplemented by classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis using paired-sample t-tests revealed a statistically significant increase in overall engagement scores from pre-test (M = 3.18, SD = 0.75) to post-test (M = 4.47, SD = 0.62), t(35) = -8.76, p < .001. Qualitative findings further indicated heightened motivation, active participation, and collaborative learning. The study concludes that gamification in technology-based ELT effectively boosts student engagement in Islamic senior high school settings. Practical implications for EFL teachers and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is fundamental to English language proficiency, yet many Indonesian senior high school students continue to face challenges in acquiring adequate vocabulary due to conventional teaching methods. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of digital platforms in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Al Quran Wahdah Islamiyah Kendari. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 23 students from Class XI selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of systematic vocabulary learning activities utilizing selected digital platforms over an eight-week period. Data were collected through a validated vocabulary achievement test administered before and after the treatment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores following the implementation of digital platforms (p < 0.05). Students also reported higher motivation and engagement during the learning process. This study concludes that digital platforms constitute an effective, accessible, and student-centered tool for improving vocabulary acquisition in EFL contexts. The results offer practical implications for English teachers and curriculum developers seeking to integrate technology in technology-limited or faith-based secondary schools in Indonesia.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language teaching has become increasingly important to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study examined the effect of interactive video-based learning on students’ English learning outcomes at SMA N 2 Kulisusu Utara, Southeast Sulawesi. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, the research involved the entire population of 17 students in Class XI. Interactive videos, developed using Canva and Edpuzzle with embedded quizzes, subtitles, and interactive tasks aligned with the 2022 Merdeka Curriculum, were implemented over eight weeks. English learning outcomes were measured through a validated achievement test covering vocabulary mastery, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening skills. Data were analysed using paired sample t-test with SPSS version 26. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ English learning outcomes after the intervention (pretest mean = 64.12, SD = 8.45; post-test mean = 81.76, SD = 7.23; t = 9.87, p < 0.001). Additionally, students reported high positive perceptions toward the learning media. These findings indicate that interactive video-based learning is an effective and engaging instructional strategy for improving English proficiency in senior high school settings, particularly in resource-limited madrasah environments. The study recommends wider adoption of interactive video technology and further research with larger samples and control groups.
