Abstract

Critical pedagogy can be reflected in the situation when the learners become social transformers of their community and world, and when they critically construct knowledge. The prior researchers s only evaluated discrepancies in gender and age. Freire and Brown's framework also verified the feasibility and reliability of implementing CDP.  However, general skills and unspecific digital tools drove the reader's bias and ambiguity. Consequently, the purposes of the study aim to connect previous topics in different contexts, addressing the gap and providing a critical analysis. Especially, English lectures in certain skills and specific digital tools would be needed to know critical pedagogy's intentional implementation or unintentional presence in the ELT realm. Three concerns were highlighted to guide the researchers to do the research; the essential aspect of pedagogy that has and has not been involved yet in online learning and the factors of age and gender that might influence the learning. Th researchers s used qualitative method, especially observation and questionnaire instruments to get the data of the incorporation of the Discord tool of critical pedagogy in the higher education domain. The findings reveals that the implementation a critical pedagogy of Discord tool and the discrepancies of age and gender that influence the online meeting.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of the internet has prompted people to embrace digital platforms for language acquisition. Language learning environments now exist in both physical classrooms and virtual spaces. Therefore, listening skills, which are an important component of language proficiency, especially in higher education can be effectively taught through a medium such as Discord, a new and useful digital learning tool. The primary aim of this study is to explore students’ voices regarding the use of Discord to enhance critical listening proficiency. To gather meaningful data, a descriptive qualitative design was employed using instruments such as classroom observation checklists, field notes, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The study involved 20 students enrolled in the International Class Program at Maulana Malik Ibrahim Islamic State University Malang. The findings revealed that Discord facilitates the organization of systematic materials, provides features supporting both offline and online learning, encourages the design of new interactive educational activities, and enables immediate responses that promote dynamic discussions. The implication of this study suggests that Discord can be adopted as an effective supplementary platform for developing students’ listening skills and fostering collaborative learning in digital language classrooms.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning is widely recognized as a foundational aspect of English language proficiency, yet EFL students in Indonesia frequently struggle to remain motivated and engaged during conventional vocabulary instruction. Despite growing interest in technology enhanced learning, limited qualitative research has examined how interactive digital platforms influence observable student motivation and engagement during vocabulary learning activities. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how the integration of Wordwall influences EFL students’ motivation and engagement in vocabulary learning. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the study involved 19 female Grade XI students at MA Raudlatul Ulum 2, an Islamic secondary school in East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through preliminary classroom interaction, structured classroom observation, and documentation across two instructional meetings, and analyzed using the interactive model of descriptive qualitative analysis. The findings revealed that Wordwall significantly enhanced students’ motivation and engagement, as evidenced by increased enthusiasm, active participation, peer collaboration, and self directed learning behaviors during vocabulary activities. These results indicate that game based features such as leaderboards, immediate feedback, and varied game templates effectively support intrinsic motivation and multiple dimensions of student engagement. The study contributes to the growing literature on gamification in Indonesian EFL contexts by providing a qualitative, observation based account of how Wordwall shapes the behavioral and motivational dimensions of vocabulary instruction.
