Abstract

In the contemporary digital age, conventional pedagogical practices are transforming the microlearning approach, which disseminates content in discrete units to facilitate enhanced comprehension among learners. This article examines the potential of Scratch as an educational tool that can be employed to support the microlearning approach. Scratch is a block-based visual programming platform designed to facilitate beginners' learning of programming interactively. The utilization of Scratch across a range of educational levels has been demonstrated to enhance students' motivation, active engagement and learning outcomes. The findings of this literature review indicate that Scratch has the additional benefit of improving students' logical and creative thinking skills. Nevertheless, there are obstacles to the implementation of Scratch, including restricted access to technology and the necessity for teacher training to comprehend programming concepts. It is therefore evident that support from educational institutions and the government is crucial to realize Scratch's potential fully. By integrating Scratch into the microlearning framework, students can learn enjoyably and efficiently, thereby creating a more dynamic and relevant learning experience that is better suited to the needs of the digital age. This article aims to provide insight into the effectiveness of Scratch as a learning medium in the context of microlearning and to encourage further research on the application of technology in education.

Abstract

In today’s competitive employment market, graduates must be proficient in English communication to succeed professionally. Specifically, fluency in spoken English, professional writing skills, presentation skills, and interpersonal communication in English are critical factors that contribute to workplace success. This study investigates how far university graduates’ English communicative abilities contribute to their success in securing employment and performing effectively in the workplace. This paper broadly examines the needs of graduates for English communicative skills to progress in their careers. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data. The study was conducted at three purposively selected public universities in Bangladesh: the University of Dhaka, Jagannath University, and Jahangirnagar University. 50 students were purposively sampled, and 15 industry stakeholders from private banks, multinational companies, and English-medium schools in Dhaka were interviewed to explore workplace English proficiency expectations. The findings indicate a strong correlation between English communication skills and employment opportunities. However, many graduates face challenges in professional writing, public speaking, and business communication. Furthermore, the results highlight a considerable distance between the communication demands of the professional world and the English instruction provided at the university level, which results in unpreparedness for real-world communication challenges. In this regard, in enhance graduates' global competitiveness, the study recommends urgent curriculum modifications that prioritize business-oriented communication, industry-aligned training, and real-world English applications.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the implementation of multiliteracies pedagogy in a technology-supported speaking class to enhance students' multimodal competence. Based on the fact that the State Islamic Institute Curup's (IAIN Curup) English Language Education Department's multimodal literacy skills are being hampered by the traditional literacy paradigm, this case study were held by involving 20 fifth-semester undergraduate students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, online questionnaires, and variety of student assignments, such as digital posters and videos. The data were analyzed qualitatively using Creswell's Data Analysis Procedures, involving iterative coding to identify themes and patterns.  The results showed that students' ability to produce and evaluate multimodal texts was enhanced by the multiliteracies pedagogy. According to the data collection and rubric created to evaluate their tasks, students showed improved abilities to integrate linguistic and non-linguistic elements, which contributed to their total multimodal literacy. The students perceived the teaching program positively, highlighting its engaging, motivating, and innovative aspects. They acknowledged the acquisition of valuable digital skills alongside enhanced English proficiency. The integration of technology was deemed crucial, aligning with the needs of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and it significantly supported students' learning processes. The study concluded that multiliteracies pedagogy, when combined with technology, effectively fostered multimodal competence and prepared students for academic, personal, and professional success. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating multiliteracies approaches   in   English language teaching to address the evolving literacy landscape of the 21st century.

Abstract

This research explored the effectiveness of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach in improving the speaking skills of Tadris students at State Islamic University Fatmawati Sukarno and State Islamic Institute of Islam Curup Bengkulu. The research specifically focused on integrating CLIL's core aspects: Content, Communication, Cognition, and Culture. A mixed-methods design was used, with qualitative data analyzed via the Huberman and Miles model (data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion verification) through observations, interviews, and documentation. Quantitative data was analyzed using a Randomized Solomon Four Group Design and ANOVA. Findings showed that an effective CLIL-based speaking curriculum requires the seamless integration of all four CLIL aspects, grounded in global realities and trending topics. This approach significantly fostered Deep Learning's 6Cs: character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking, leading to a notable enhancement in students' speaking proficiency. The study also highlighted the crucial role of digital technology collaboration in optimizing this teaching methodology. Quantitative analysis strongly supported these findings, demonstrating a significant positive impact of the CLIL approach on students' English speaking skills, with an F-calculated value (37.276) far exceeding F-table values (2.74 and 4.08).The implications for English language education, particularly within the Tadris programs in Bengkulu, are substantial. The CLIL approach, especially when enhanced by digital support, offers a powerful pedagogical framework for teaching speaking skills. It not only boosts linguistic fluency but also cultivates essential 21st-century competencies crucial for future careers. This research underscores the vital need for developing content-rich, globally relevant curricula that effectively leverage technology to create dynamic and deeply engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This study analyzes the quality of learning objectives in lesson plans based on the Kurikulum Merdeka, as designed by students in the English Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) at the University of Bengkulu. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, the research involves the quantitative analysis of 25 lesson plans comprising a total of 65 learning objectives created by pre-service English teachers. The quantitative phase uses a 10-item evaluative checklist to assess the quality of each objective in terms of clarity, measurability, and alignment with the core principles of Kurikulum Merdeka, including student-centeredness, competency orientation, and differentiated instruction. Following this, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with three randomly selected participants to gain deeper insights into the challenges encountered during the formulation of learning objectives. Findings reveal that, overall, the learning objectives are of good quality, with a majority reflecting satisfactory alignment with curriculum demands. However, some challenges persist, such as inadequate skills in conducting needs analysis, difficulty in translating learning outcomes into specific and measurable objectives, and limited access to supporting materials and references. The study highlights the need for more structured training in curriculum implementation and concludes with suggestions for future research exploring effective strategies and models for developing high-quality learning objectives within the context of Kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

TikTok has become a prominent social media platform, which is notable for its engaging features that display short and fascinating videos. This study aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges confronted by students using TikTok for self-directed language learning. This research employed an interpretative phenomenological analysis design to systematically explain and directly answer the research questions through in-depth group interviews with eight participants who were EFL students with experiences in self-directed language learning using TikTok. The findings of this study revealed that there are many opportunities presented by TikTok for self-directed language learning, including time efficiency, practical and creative application, and its capability to improve students’ English skills through authentic, credible, and memorable lessons. Despite these opportunities, students face several main challenges when using TikTok for language learning, including difficulty in controlling discipline, distraction from irrelevant content, confusion of English accents across videos, and device constraints. This research has significant implications for educators in using TikTok for students’ self-directed language learning. By understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with using TikTok, educators can provide effective guidance and support to their learners. Further research should explore strategies to maximize the opportunities in the students’ use of TikTok for self-directed English learning and in their selection of language learning content on TikTok.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the synergistic integration of these competencies within the context of Business English education, particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic's shift to online instruction. This study involved 23 vocational students aged 21-23 who were tasked with watching model public speaking videos and subsequently creating and recording their own presentations. Data was collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, revealing that this video-recording task significantly benefited students by enabling them to identify their individual misconceptions about public speaking, actively engage in self-directed learning strategies, and demonstrably improve their overall public speaking proficiency. These findings underscore the potential of incorporating such video-based assignments in online language learning environments to foster both independent learning and enhanced communication skills. Furthermore, our research discusses the pedagogical implications of these results for educators and suggests avenues for future research in the fields of language education and online learning, emphasizing the value of combining self-assessment through recording with autonomous learning principles to enhance communicative competence.
