Abstract

Reading proficiency is essential for academic success, particularly among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in higher education. As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes increasingly integrated into educational practices, its potential impact on students’ reading skills warrants closer investigation. This study examines the relationship between ICT utilization, academic performance, and reading proficiency among EFL students. A correlational design was employed to analyze the association among ICT usage, Grade Point Average (GPA), and reading proficiency. Seventy-one students from an English Education postgraduate program at a state university in Palembang participated in the study. Data were collected through an ICT utilization questionnaire, official GPA records, and a standardized TOEFL reading test. Pearson Product Moment correlation and regression analyses were used to interpret the data. Findings revealed a significant positive correlation between ICT utilization and reading proficiency (r = 0.237, p = 0.046), with ICT contributing 5.6% to reading proficiency. In contrast, GPA showed no significant correlation (r = -0.039, p = 0.748) or predictive value for reading outcomes. The overall regression model was not statistically significant (p = 0.075). While ICT use demonstrates a modest but significant influence on students' reading skills, academic performance, as measured by GPA, does not. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating ICT tools into reading instruction and call for enhanced digital literacy initiatives to support reading development in EFL contexts.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education has transformed traditional teaching methods, with podcasting emerging as a promising technique to enhance language acquisition. This study examines how collaborative podcasting influences pre-service teachers’ communication skills and their perceptions of technology’s role in English language education. Using a survey method, data were collected from fourth, sixth, and eighth-semester students who had created podcasts. Google Forms facilitated the distribution of surveys via WhatsApp groups, ensuring broad participation. Quantitative data were gathered through Likert scale items, while qualitative feedback provided deeper insights. Descriptive analysis was used to calculate mean and standard deviation for each item. The findings revealed that collaborative podcasting enhanced students’ communication skills, including clarity, active listening, and teamwork. Students reported personalized learning experiences and active engagement in content creation, which fostered a supportive and interactive learning environment. The results also highlighted positive perceptions of technology as a valuable tool for language learning. Collaborative podcasting not only improved communication skills but also demonstrated the potential of technology to transform learning by promoting active participation and critical skills development. These outcomes underscore the value of podcasting in preparing pre-service teachers for real-world communication challenges. Technology integration through collaborative podcast projects positively impacts pre-service teachers' communication skills and engagement. Educators are encouraged to incorporate podcasting into language curricula to enhance skill development. Future research should explore long-term effects of podcasting on language acquisition and the adaptability of technological tools for diverse learning styles.
