Abstract

Speaking is a key skill in English learning, yet many EFL learners still struggle with vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence. With the rise of MALL, Memrise has become a popular tool that offers spaced repetition, native-speaker audio, and gamified features that may support speaking development. This study aims to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine how Memrise helps improve English-speaking skills. The main research problem is: How effective is Memrise in enhancing learners’ speaking skills? A secondary problem is: Which speaking aspects—vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, or confidence—show the most improvement? Using the PRISMA 2020 framework, ten empirical studies were analyzed. The findings show that Memrise supports speaking development mainly through better vocabulary retention, improved pronunciation, and increased motivation, although real communicative practice is still needed for full fluency

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of using Instagram as a writing teaching tool and to explore students’ perceptions of its implementation in Indonesian EFL classrooms. A quantitative research design employing a survey method was utilized, involving undergraduate students from the English Education Department at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentages and mean scores. The findings indicate that Instagram has a positive effect on students’ writing learning, particularly in enhancing writing practice and engagement. Furthermore, students’ perceptions toward the use of Instagram fall into a moderate to high category, suggesting that the platform is considered a useful and supportive learning tool. Aspects such as motivation, interaction, and engagement were also identified as contributing factors in supporting the writing learning process. However, the effectiveness of Instagram largely depends on its pedagogical integration within the classroom.
