Abstract

The use of crossword puzzles has been widely used in paper-based forms; in this study, the use of crossword puzzles is integrated with digital technology. This form offers more interactive and engaging alternatives than traditional paper-based formats. This research was conducted at MAN 2 Palu. The aim of this research was to find out the effectiveness of the use of online Crossword Puzzles as a tool for learning vocabulary in the tenth-grade students of MAN 2 Palu. This research applied a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. There were two classes: Experimental class (XE), which was taught by online Crossword Puzzles, and the control class, which was taught by the conventional method. The total number of students was 35 in each class. The instrument used in this research was a test in the form of multiple choice, translation, matching words and a cloze test. The test was divided into pre-test and post-test to investigate the students’ vocabulary mastery in the experimental and control classes before and after treatment. The result of the research showed that the use of online Crossword Puzzles improved students' vocabulary mastery significantly. It can be seen that the result of the T-test (16.370) was higher than the T-table (2.032). Based on the data analysis, it can be confirmed that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of online Crossword Puzzles is effective as a vocabulary learning tool for the tenth-grade students of MAN 2 Palu.

Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) plays a crucial role in preparing students of Islamic Library and Information Science (ILIS) to access global resources, understand international cataloguing standards, engage with digital information systems, and participate in global academic discourse. However, students’ interest in English learning in many Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions remains limited, often due to language anxiety, limited exposure, and perceived irrelevance to their disciplinary identity. This study seeks to investigate the potential for pedagogical integration of interpersonal intelligence into ESP instruction with the aim of raising student engagement and the subject matter relevance in English learning. Adopting a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in an ILIS English classroom at UIN Datokarama Palu. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with 18 students, and analysis of instructional documents. The data were analysed using thematic analysis involving open, axial, and selective coding procedures, with methodological triangulation to ensure credibility and analytical rigor. The findings reveal that interpersonal intelligence-based strategies such as peer collaboration, dialog interaction, group problem solving, and socially mediated feedback significantly increase students’ engagement, self-confidence, and willingness to use English, as well as create a positive learning environment. More significantly, embedding ILIS specific disciplinary tasks within collaborative activities strengthens students’ professional identity and situational relevance awareness, thereby transforming English learning into a socially mediated and career-oriented practice. This study contributes to ESP scholarship by proposing an identity-integrated interpersonal framework that connects socio-emotional interaction with disciplinary discourse practices. Although limited to a single institutional context, the findings offer empirical insight into how socially constructed ESP environments can sustain engagement and professional readiness in Islamic higher education settings.
