Abstract

The integration of technology in English language teaching has brought about a paradigm shift in educational methodologies. It offers a diverse range of tools and resources that facilitate interactive, flexible, and student-centered learning environments. This study explores the perceptions of teachers and students on the use of technology in English language education, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and overall impact. Teachers perceive technology as a valuable aid in enhancing student engagement and providing access to authentic language materials, while also expressing concerns about dependency, technical issues, and unequal access. Students, on the other hand, appreciate the interactivity and flexibility provided by technological tools but acknowledge distractions and over-reliance as potential drawbacks. The research employs qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews with teachers and focus group discussions with students, to uncover nuanced perspectives. Findings indicate that while technology enhances accessibility and personalized learning, its effectiveness depends on factors such as teacher preparedness, balanced usage, and equitable access. This study underscores the need for professional development for educators and strategic policies to address disparities in access. A balanced approach combining traditional and technological methods is recommended to optimize the potential of digital tools in English language teaching

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of digitalization in enhancing the competitiveness of sharia-based creative industries, identify the challenges faced, and formulate strategies to optimize digital transformation in the tofu production center of Kampung Tahu, Binjai City. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with twelve informants, field observations, and document analysis related to digitalization and sharia economic policies. Thematic analysis with an inductive approach was employed to process the data, supported by triangulation for validity. The findings reveal that digitalization contributes significantly to expanding market access, improving operational efficiency, and reinforcing sharia principles through transparent and halal-compliant financial systems. However, challenges remain, including low digital literacy, limited infrastructure, weak understanding of digital sharia practices, and insufficient institutional support. To address these, several strategies are proposed, such as sharia-based digital literacy programs, equitable infrastructure development, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and the establishment of halal digital ecosystems. This research provides a unique contribution by presenting a contextual model of sharia-oriented digitalization strategies for traditional food-based MSMEs, an area rarely explored in existing literature, thereby offering both theoretical enrichment and practical guidance for inclusive and sustainable sharia economic transformation.
