Abstract

Project-Based Learning of ESP is developed to involve as well as to encourage students to be active in the process of teaching and learning. Students can fully contribute in the project once they are asked in the inquiry process by giving a guiding question and the teacher guides them into a collaborative project integrated in curriculum. A guiding question here, must be based on the issues and topics addressing the real world problems. This also means that the project learning can help learners experience a meaningful learning, based on constructivism philosophy. Learners are given chance to explore and find any source of information by reading books, then communicate it to others or presenting their ideas. Hence, at the end of teaching and learning process, learners reflect to the project that has been conducted. At this phase, all learners are asked to share their experiences as well as their feeling during the project. Teacher and learners can share and develop it into a discussion in order to improve their performance

Additionally, the study explores both positive and negative perceptions of using TikTok for learning English vocabulary, as well as the benefits that students derive from using the platform. Based on the data, the majority of pupils acquire English vocabulary quickly by utilizing the TikTok program. Nevertheless, a drawback that students frequently mention as hindering their acquisition of new terminology is the distraction caused by applications.   This research aims to make a valuable contribution to the effective utilization of technology, particularly social media, to enhance English vocabulary acquisition.

The research involved 25 participants who volunteered to contribute to the study. Quantitative research methods were use, specifically pre- and post-experimental research, utilizing tests consisting of 15 to 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. The results indicated a significant improvement in the participants' vocabulary achievements following the implementation of the Bamboozle-based treatment. The treatment was more successful than the researchers were expecting, proving that gamification techniques especially those utilizing Bamboozle are effective at improving learning outcomes. This study emphasizes how gamification might help with educational difficulties, especially in resource-poor areas.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of collaborative learning strategy on the reading comprehension of non-English department students at the university level. An effective reading comprehension not only talk about the ability to understanding the text, but also the capacity to interpret meaning and synthesize information from different text genre. Moreover, for the non-English department students who generally have different language competence with English department students, they often encounter a difficult situation in reading activity because of their limitation in language exposure. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines quantitative data from reading tests with qualitative insights from student interviews and classroom observations. Over one semester, students from various non-English department participated in collaborative activities, such as collaborative strategic reading and group discussions, designed to improve critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving. The quantitative results demonstrate significant improvements in reading comprehension, particularly in identifying main ideas, making inferences, and understanding vocabulary in context. Qualitative findings reveal that students found the collaborative learning environment is enjoyable and motivating, with many reporting that collaborative learning reduced their anxiety and enhanced their willingness to participate actively. This study highlights the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategy in improving reading comprehension among non-English department students and offers practical recommendations for integrating these strategies into diverse academic disciplines.Keywords: Collaborative Learning, Reading Comprehension, EFL, Non-English Department Student
