Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and strategies experienced by English teachers in utilizing Wordwall as a digital assessment tool in a rural junior high school in Indonesia. While digital platforms are increasingly integrated into English language teaching, their application in under-resourced environments poses unique complexities. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study draws on in-depth interviews with two English teachers from SMPN 1 Tinondo, Southeast Sulawesi. Data were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework, revealing three major findings. First, infrastructural barriers, including limited internet access, shared digital devices, and inadequate training, significantly constrained the optimal use of Wordwall. Second, despite these limitations, teachers acknowledged various pedagogical benefits, such as increased student motivation, interactive assessment experiences, and alignment with competency-based curriculum goals. Third, teachers demonstrated creative adaptation strategies, such as rotating device access, using group-based tasks, and modifying content formats to accommodate technical challenges. These strategies reflect a high degree of teacher agency in overcoming contextual constraints. The study contributes to the discourse on digital assessment in rural EFL contexts by highlighting not only the technological and pedagogical dimensions but also the socio-cultural factors that shape implementation. The findings offer valuable implications for teacher training, policy development, and digital tool design tailored to low-resource settings

Abstract

This research explores the role of nonverbal communication (NVC) in English presentations conducted by undergraduate students in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms at Universitas Negeri Makassar, where presentations have become integral to pedagogical practices aimed at fostering critical thinking and active learning. The study aims to identify and categorize forms of nonverbal communication exhibited by EFL learners during their presentations, specifically focusing on kinesic behaviors such as gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, and posture. Utilizing qualitative methods, including systematic observation of student presentations, the research captures authentic interactions to assess how these nonverbal cues contribute to message delivery and audience engagement. By enhancing understanding of NVC within EFL education, this study not only contributes theoretically by categorizing specific behaviors and exploring their functions but also offers practical insights into developing essential communication skills vital for students' academic success and professional readiness. The findings underscore the importance of integrating nonverbal communication training into EFL curricula, empowering students to deliver impactful presentations while fostering a deeper understanding of cross-cultural communication norms. Ultimately, this research highlights the need for holistic approaches in language education that prioritize both linguistic proficiency and expressive competence, equipping learners with the skills to effectively encode and decode nonverbal signals, thereby enhancing their overall communicative competence
