Abstract

This narrative review examines the use of digital listening materials in the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. The Merdeka Curriculum is implemented to fulfill 21st-century learning guidelines in terms of material effectiveness, flexibility, and graduate profile confirmation. Listening skills are fundamental in English language learning, but remain a challenge for students of English as a foreign language (EFL) due to the lack of explanation of the original context. This review uses a narrative review method, examining articles or journals published between 2021 and 2025 that discuss digital media in learning and teaching listening skills. The findings report that podcasts, audio-video, YouTube platforms, AR/VR applications, and digital worksheets related to audio are widely used to develop in-depth listening comprehension. These materials provide credible input, flexible access, multimodal experiences, and support a student-centered approach in the Merdeka Curriculum. However, several challenges remain, including teacher readiness in utilizing teaching materials through digital tools, a lack of local cultural content, and insufficient links to formative assessment. In general, digital-based listening resources are effective in developing context-appropriate meaning-making and deep thinking, in line with the curriculum's emphasis on creativity, independence, and 21st-century competencies. Future research should focus on teacher training, cultural adaptation, and assessment integration to maximize the potential of listening materials.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the WordUp application in improving students’ pronunciation skills within Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) environments. The rapid growth of digital learning tools has encouraged the integration of mobile applications to provide authentic exposure, individualized practice, and immediate feedback for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research analyzed studies published between 2020 and 2025 from databases such as Google Scholar, ERIC, ScienceDirect, and Mendeley. A total of 690 articles were initially identified, and 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicate that WordUp effectively supports vocabulary mastery while offering indirect yet meaningful benefits for pronunciation improvement through audio models, contextual examples, and spaced-repetition features. Although the application is primarily designed for vocabulary learning, students reported increased exposure to accurate pronunciation input and improved clarity in spoken production. However, several limitations were identified, including the lack of comprehensive pronunciation assessment and limited multi-word expression coverage. Overall, WordUp is a valuable supplementary tool that enhances learner motivation, supports autonomous learning, and contributes positively to pronunciation development, especially when integrated with broader speaking-focused instructional strategies.
