Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using local tourism pictures as English learning media on students’ vocabulary mastery and learning motivation at the elementary level. The research was motivated by the persistent challenges Indonesian learners face in understanding, memorizing, and retaining English vocabulary, which often leads to low motivation and limited engagement. A quantitative one-group pretest–posttest design was employed, involving 21 fifth-grade students from UPT SDN 14 Mengkendek, South Sulawesi. Vocabulary and motivation data were collected through pre- and post-tests and analyzed using paired-sample t-tests. Results revealed significant improvements in both vocabulary mastery (M = 52.62 to 72.14, p < .001) and learning motivation (M = 44.81 to 53.10, p < .001). These findings suggest that the use of local tourism images—such as Torajan landmarks—effectively supports vocabulary retention and fosters a stronger emotional connection to learning materials. The integration of culturally relevant visual media aligns with the principles of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) and Self-Determination Theory, showing that when students learn through familiar, locally grounded visuals, they become more motivated and engaged. Overall, the findings contribute to English language education for young learners by providing empirical evidence that culturally relevant, contextual, and visual materials enhance learners’ engagement, comprehension, and motivation, and by offering practical pedagogical insights for teachers in designing culturally responsive and meaningful English learning materials at the primary school level.

Abstract

Program Eduagropreneur-English yang dilaksanakan di Lembang Pakala Kecamatan Mengkendek bertujuan memberdayakan anak-anak melalui edukasi pertanian sederhana yang dipadukan dengan pengajaran kosa kata bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan ini melibatkan anak-anak dalam praktik menanam sayuran di pekarangan rumah dengan memanfaatkan media sederhana seperti tanah humus dan barang bekas, serta memperkenalkan kosakata bahasa Inggris yang relevan, seperti nama sayuran, warna, dan bagian tanaman. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan kontekstual dan partisipatif tidak hanya menumbuhkan minat anak-anak terhadap pertanian dan kepedulian lingkungan, tetapi juga memperkaya keterampilan bahasa Inggris mereka secara alami. Integrasi pertanian, kewirausahaan, dan pembelajaran bahasa terbukti efektif meningkatkan rasa percaya diri, kreativitas, serta wawasan global anak-anak. Program ini memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan lebih lanjut sebagai strategi pemberdayaan generasi muda dalam mendukung ketahanan pangan keluarga sekaligus memperkuat kompetensi bahasa asing yang kontekstual.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language learning has become a critical strategy to enhance students’ learning outcomes in the digital era. This study aims to examine how technological tools influence learner motivation, engagement, and overall language proficiency. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through a systematic literature review, this research analyzes 30 scholarly works published between 2023 and 2025. The findings reveal that technology integration significantly improves language learning outcomes by promoting interactive learning environments, providing real-time feedback, and facilitating personalized learning experiences. Furthermore, tools such as mobile applications, virtual classrooms, and artificial intelligence contribute to increased student motivation and autonomy. However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps and unequal access remain significant barriers. The study concludes that effective implementation of technology requires strategic pedagogical planning and institutional support. This research contributes to the development of technology-enhanced language learning frameworks and offers recommendations for educators and policymakers.

Abstract

The proliferation of virtual learning environments in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has necessitated a deeper understanding of how these digital contexts shape student motivation, particularly in developing country settings where technology-mediated instruction presents unique challenges and opportunities. This qualitative case study investigates the dynamics of student motivation in synchronous online English learning among ninth grade students at a junior high school in Indonesia. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten students, the study employed thematic analysis within Miles and Huberman's interactive framework to explore the multidimensional factors influencing learner motivation in virtual classrooms. The findings reveal that student motivation in synchronous online learning is not a static trait but a dynamic phenomenon shaped by twelve interconnected factors operating across individual, social, instructional, and environmental levels. Interactive and gamified activities particularly quizzes, breakout room discussions, and polling features generated high engagement, while passive instructional approaches such as extended lectures and excessive reading precipitated rapid disengagement. The teacher emerged as the most influential motivational factor, with instructional clarity, appropriate pacing, positive demeanor, and strategic use of praise significantly enhancing student engagement. Platform features played crucial mediating roles, with the chat function effectively reducing speaking anxiety by enabling text-based participation. Peer presence exerted bidirectional influence, as active classmates modeled engagement while collective silence diminished individual motivation. Technical challenges related to internet connectivity and home environment distractions posed significant barriers, yet students demonstrated resilience through adaptive coping strategies. The study contributes theoretical insights into the contextual nature of L2 motivation in digital environments and offers practical implications for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers seeking to optimize student engagement in virtual EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the strategies employed by students to uphold academic integrity and demonstrate responsibility when utilizing artificial intelligence tools in the research proposal writing process. A descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenological orientation was utilized in this research. The design was to investigate the lived experiences of participants. The subjects of this study consisted of three intentionally chosen undergraduate students from the English Education Study Program at a university in Toraja. They were engaged in the preparation of research proposals utilizing artificial intelligence support. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews and direct observations. The analysis was conducted through iterative qualitative techniques such as data reduction, coding, theme categorization, data display, and conclusion drawing with verification. The findings reveal ongoing issues related to academic integrity and transparency, particularly regarding the inconsistent citation of sources produced by artificial intelligence and differing approaches to paraphrasing. The findings show that the participants exhibited ethical behavior by paraphrasing and verifying outputs. on the other hand, they also relied heavily on tools without adequate critical assessment, prompting inquiries into accountability for content accuracy. The findings indicate that the ethical application of artificial intelligence in scholarly writing necessitates a combination of ethical understanding and technical proficiency. It follows that educational programs are required to integrate teachings on the ethical utilization of digital resources, while institutions must establish transparent policies to maintain integrity in student writing.
