Abstract

This study aims to develop a local genius-based English e-module for vocational high school students majoring in hospitality at SMK Negeri 1 Jambi City. The development of this e module was motivated by the need to provide contextual and culturally relevant English learning materials that align with the Merdeka Curriculum principles. The e-module integrates Jambi’s local wisdom, such as tourism destinations, traditional cuisine, and cultural heritage into language learning tasks designed for hospitality contexts. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method adapted from Borg and Gall (1983), involving six stages: needs analysis, design, development, expert validation, revision, and try-out. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and validation sheets. The e-module underwent validation by material and media experts and was tested with a group of Grade 10 hospitality students. The results showed that the developed e-module achieved a “Very Good” level of feasibility in terms of content, design, and practicality. Students reported higher motivation and engagement when learning English through local contexts. The findings indicate that integrating local genius into English learning supports students’ communication skills and cultural awareness, while making learning more meaningful and enjoyable.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Self-Directed Learning (SDL) principles into a Flipped Classroom model to improve English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reading comprehension among undergraduate students. Furthermore, it examines whether students' digital literacy levels moderate this relationship. Methodology: A quasi-experimental 2x2 factorial design was employed involving 60 second-year students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat. Participants were assigned to an experimental group (n=30) taught using a Flipped Classroom model explicitly designed with SDL scaffolding, and a control group (n=30) taught using an A La Carte blended model. The intervention spanned eight weeks. Data were collected using a validated reading comprehension test (based on Barrett’s Taxonomy) and a standardized digital literacy questionnaire, then analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA. Findings: The results revealed a statistically significant main effect for the learning model (p < .05). Students in the Flipped Classroom-SDL group demonstrated superior reading comprehension compared to the A La Carte group. Interestingly, digital literacy did not show a significant main effect or interaction effect, suggesting that the pedagogical structure of SDL effectively supports learners regardless of their technical proficiency. The study concludes that the deliberate integration of SDL strategies, such as goal setting and self-monitoring, within the Flipped Classroom significantly enhances students' ability to comprehend complex EFL texts, overcoming potential barriers posed by low digital literacy.
