Abstract

The integration of Islamic values and local wisdom in English language education remains underexplored, particularly in the context of Islamic higher education. Many existing textbooks lack contextual relevance, leaving a gap in materials that can support both linguistic competence and cultural identity. This study seeks to address this gap by developing an English textbook specifically for students of the Islamic Family Law Study Program, incorporating both Islamic values and the local wisdom of Tana Luwu. Using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) Research and Development (R&D) model, the study engaged 50 undergraduate students and three expert validators. The findings suggest a meaningful improvement in students’ English proficiency, as indicated by pre-test and post-test results, which showed a positive learning impact. The validation process also yielded encouraging results, with expert assessments averaging 3.6/4 for content and language, and 3.4/4 for design, suggesting the textbook's strong potential with minor refinements. Student perception surveys further reinforced its effectiveness, with 91% finding the textbook useful, 88% recognizing its cultural and religious relevance, and 80% highlighting its engaging and interactive features. Qualitative feedback highlights greater motivation and a stronger connection to English and Islamic legal principles. This study contributes to culturally responsive pedagogy by providing an empirical, data-driven framework for integrating religious and local cultural values into English language education. Its broader implication lies in offering a scalable model for similar curriculum developments in other disciplines, reinforcing education's role in preserving cultural identity while enhancing linguistic competencies in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

Despite the growing emphasis on early childhood English literacy, research on the direct impact of educational technology on young learners' reading skills remains limited, particularly in the Indonesian context. Existing studies often focus on conventional teaching methods or generic digital tools without empirically testing the effectiveness of structured educational technology interventions. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how interactive educational technology enhances early English reading skills in preschoolers. Using a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest control setup, the research involved 60 children aged 5–6 years, divided into an experimental group (n=30) exposed to technology-assisted learning and a control group (n=30) using traditional methods. Data were collected through structured observational assessments and analyzed using an Independent Samples Test. Findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading ability, as indicated by a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05), confirming that technology-based interventions effectively enhance young learners' English reading proficiency. This study contributes to the discourse on early literacy by demonstrating the role of digital tools in fostering emergent reading skills through engaging, interactive, and adaptive learning experiences. The results suggest that integrating educational technology in preschool curricula can bridge early literacy gaps and create an enriched learning environment. On a broader scale, these findings support the need for policy revisions in early education, advocating for digital inclusivity and pedagogical innovation to better equip children with foundational literacy skills in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Quizizz’s Paper Mode on the reading comprehension of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, addressing a gap in the literature regarding this relatively new feature. Despite the widespread use of Quizizz in digital education, its Paper Mode, which incorporates barcode scanning to assess student responses on printed quizzes, remains under-explored. Using an experimental design, the study involved two groups of eighth-grade students: an experimental group using Quizizz Paper Mode and a control group utilizing conventional media for reading comprehension activities. A total of 16 students participated, with 8 students in each group. The research employed a pre-test to measure baseline reading comprehension and a post-test to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Statistical analysis, specifically independent sample t-tests, revealed a significant difference in the post-test scores between the two groups (p=0.035), indicating that students in the experimental group showed greater improvement in reading comprehension compared to those in the control group. These results highlight the potential of Quizizz Paper Mode as an effective tool for enhancing reading comprehension, suggesting its efficacy in integrating digital features with traditional paper-based assessments. The study’s findings contribute to the understanding of hybrid learning environments, illustrating how innovative educational tools like Quizizz Paper Mode can support meaningful learning experiences and improve student performance. This research underscores the growing importance of incorporating advanced media in educational practices to foster engagement and achievement in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

In the era of digital globalization, online discourse often becomes a battleground of competing ideologies, emotions, and linguistic behaviors, particularly on platforms like Twitter, now known as X. This study explores the intersection of impoliteness strategies and annotated translation techniques by analyzing forty selected user comments responding to Bloomberg’s posts about the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia. These comments, perceived as inappropriate or impolite, reflect not only socio-political tensions but also the complex challenges of preserving communicative intent in translation. Employing a qualitative design grounded in Culpeper’s impoliteness framework and Molina and Albir’s taxonomy of translation techniques, the study identifies three dominant impoliteness purposes: entertainment (57.5%), affective (32.5%), and coercive (10%), alongside five translation techniques including compensation, variation, modulation, literal, and transposition. A key finding reveals that the translation techniques used did not always align directly with the original communicative purpose, highlighting the translator’s interpretive agency. This research addresses a significant gap in translation studies by focusing on the nuanced function of impolite language in digital public discourse and how translation reshapes or mediates its effect. By situating translation within the dynamics of sociocultural offense and affective expression, the study contributes to a richer understanding of pragmatics in multilingual media contexts. It provides practical implications for translation practitioners, educators, and discourse analysts concerned with linguistic fidelity, cultural sensitivity, and communicative efficacy in cross-cultural digital environments.

Abstract

Teachers understanding of culture diversity in the classroom is key to promoting learning. Therefore, there is the need for teachers to develop and implement effective pedagogical practices that foster intercultural competence in the Classroom. However, available literature suggests that while abundant anecdotal and perceptual evidence exists about the importance of understanding diversity in English as a second language classroom, information on teachers’ intercultural competence and prevalence of culturally responsive teaching practices among English language teachers is inadequate. This study therefore examined the intercultural competence teaching practices in English language classrooms in Ghanaian classrooms. Adopting the Socio-cultural Theory within a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design, a sample of 154 English language teachers were randomly sampled from basic schools in Awutu-Senya-East municipality of Ghana. The results reveal that English language teachers in the municipality recognize the significance of intercultural competence and demonstrate capabilities to integrate culturally responsive teaching strategies within their classrooms. Furthermore, the findings indicate variations in confidence levels and practical implementation, particularly in adapting teaching methods to diverse cultural learning styles and accessing support and resources necessary for these adaptations. The findings imply that occasional but frequent professional development seminars and training sessions centred on intercultural competency teaching methods for English language teachers be carried out. Additionally, School Improvement and Support Officers (SISOs) should be trained to equip them with the knowledge to ensure constant prompting of teachers.

Abstract

In the context of increasingly dynamic digital communication, multiplayer online games have evolved into socially rich environments where real-time interaction reflects complex pragmatic behavior. This study investigates how players from Southeast Asian gaming communities negotiate face and utilize politeness strategies during live voice-based gameplay. Unlike previous research that centers on text-based or asynchronous interactions, this study addresses a critical gap by examining how paralinguistic elements such as tone, laughter, and vocal exaggeration influence pragmatic choices in synchronous digital communication. Grounded in Brown and Levinson’s Politeness Theory and Goffman’s concept of face, the study analyzes 120 naturalistic voice chat interactions collected from Overwatch 2 and Dota 2 using qualitative discourse analysis and thematic coding. The results demonstrate that players frequently rely on humor, indirect expressions, and culturally rooted metaphors to manage face-threatening acts and sustain group cohesion under competitive pressure. Rather than confronting errors directly, players use strategic tone modulation to reframe criticism as shared amusement, thus preserving social harmony. The study contributes to digital pragmatics by emphasizing the performative and relational aspects of game-based interaction. These findings carry broader implications for understanding emotional regulation, intercultural communication practices, and the development of socially aware interaction systems in online platforms that prioritize rapid, collaborative exchanges.

Abstract

Autonomous learning has emerged as a crucial pedagogical approach for equipping students with the skills necessary to thrive in dynamic, communication-driven industries such as tourism. However, limited research exists on the implementation of autonomous English language learning through field-based practices within Indonesian religious-affiliated universities. This study examines the practice of Autonomous Learning (AL) among students in the Travel Industry Study Program at Universitas Hindu Negeri I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa Denpasar through a collaborative field study conducted with international students from the SIT Program. Grounded in Humanistic Learning Theory and Emotional Intelligence frameworks, this mixed-methods research investigates three core objectives: the implementation of AL in English learning, indicators of autonomy within the learning process, and the emotional impact on learners. Data were gathered through literature documentation, a student survey, and data triangulation involving program reports, academic references, and participant responses. The findings reveal that AL was effectively fostered through student-centered, collaborative field experiences that encouraged self-direction, intrinsic motivation, and emotional engagement. Despite moderate self-awareness and vocabulary limitations, students exhibited positive emotions such as joy and increased self-esteem, validating the affective benefits of the program. This study contributes to the discourse on learner autonomy by demonstrating how humanistic and experiential learning environments can bridge linguistic, cultural, and psychological gaps. It advocates for institutional support in re-establishing collaborative programs and integrating AL practices into EOP (English for Occupational Purposes) pedagogy, thereby offering a model adaptable to similar educational contexts across Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education is increasingly vital for fostering twenty-first-century competencies. Although digital pedagogy has gained global momentum, few studies thoroughly examine ICT integration in classroom tasks from both instructor and learner perspectives, particularly in the context of Indonesian higher education. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates the extent and depth of ICT use in EFL classrooms through the lens of the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) framework. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from ten English lecturers and 250 students across three private universities in Jakarta via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Guided by Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, the analysis triangulated findings across multiple sources. Results indicate that ICT use is concentrated at the substitution and augmentation levels, especially for reading and listening tasks. In contrast, speaking and writing activities show more advanced integration, including instances of redefinition such as multimedia storytelling and collaborative blogging. Key barriers to deeper ICT integration include uneven digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and limited pedagogical training. This study contributes to digital language pedagogy by mapping language skills to SAMR stages and identifying pedagogical, institutional, and policy implications. It offers actionable insights for educators and policymakers to promote more systemic, equitable, and student-centered digital learning environments in EFL contexts.

Abstract

The accelerating integration of digital tools into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has reshaped how language education addresses professional competencies across disciplines. However, a significant gap remains in understanding how these technologies are customized to meet domain-specific linguistic and communicative needs. This study investigates trends, challenges, and pedagogical implications of technology-enhanced ESP instruction in higher education between 2019 and 2025. Utilizing a PRISMA-based protocol, 21 peer-reviewed studies were selected from Scopus and Crossref, applying strict inclusion criteria focused on mobile applications, learning management systems (LMS), virtual reality (VR), and asynchronous tools. Thematic synthesis revealed that mobile apps and LMS improved learner engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and autonomy, particularly in fields such as healthcare, engineering, and tourism. VR tools showed promise in simulating professional contexts for immersive language practice. Nevertheless, barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, uneven digital literacy, and limited teacher training continue to hinder optimal implementation. Notably, few studies provided evidence on long-term outcomes or field-specific customization of digital tools, highlighting a critical gap in sustained pedagogical innovation. This study contributes a structured overview of effective practices and persistent challenges in ESP technology integration, offering strategic insights for curriculum designers, teacher educators, and policymakers. By advocating for equity-focused, professionally aligned digital instruction, the study underscores the need for tailored innovations that bridge the divide between academic language education and real-world communication demands in specialized fields.
