Furthermore, based on the interview results, students responded positively to the use of Ruang Murid as an alternative medium for learning English because it offers various useful features, provides explanatory videos related to lesson material that can be replayed, offers downloadable materials, and features an attractive interface and responsive instructors when needed.
