Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology in the digital era has influenced various fields, including higher education. Most universities have integrated technology as a medium of instruction, and Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang is no exception. This study aims to explore international students’ perceptions of the use of digital technology in English language learning in Special English Language Program (PKPBI) at UIN Malang. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through structured interviews with 5 international students. The study is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Davis (1989), which consists of two key components: Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. This research also refers to a previous study conducted by Hidayat et al. (2022), titled “Digital technology supporting English learning among Indonesian university students,”. The present study extends their research by focusing on international students at UIN Malang. Preliminary findings indicate that international students have a positive perception of the use of digital technology in PKPBI learning at UIN Malang.

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.
