Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore students' interest in learning English using technology-based learning. This research uses mixed methods that collect data combining quantitative and qualitative data. Data was collected through direct observation and questionnaires distributed to students, which covered aspects such as motivation, involvement, and preferences for the use of technology in learning English. The participants consist of 28 students from SMA 1 Indrapuri. The data were analyzed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Observation notes were examined through content analysis to identify patterns of student motivation, engagement, and responses to technology-based learning. Questionnaire data were processed using descriptive statistics and thematic coding to capture overall trends and reinforce the qualitative findings. The result from observation revealed the use of technology, such as PowerPoint and Quizziz, is able to create a more interactive and interesting learning environment, with increased active participation and student involvement. The result from questionnaire indicated that the majority of students had a positive view of using technology in learning English. 75.7% of students enjoyed learning English using technology and 77.1% students stated that technology made learning English more engaging. However, only 58.5% of students' showed awareness of the importance of English for their future. Although technology succeeded in increasing interest in learning, the findings also revealed that its impact was not felt equally by all students. Therefore, teachers need to integrate technology effectively to meet the diverse needs and preferences of students. This research concluded that the use of technology in English language learning has great potential to increase students' interest in learning. It requires adequate infrastructure and training for both teachers and students to maximize the use of this technology.

Abstract

This research is aimed to investigate the character value contained in the menganggun verses that used in the ritual of baby-cradling in the province of Subulussalam, Indonesia. This study, therefore, try to: (1) identify the character values present in the menganggun verses which are related to individual character values, social character values, and religious character values, and (2) describe the techniques used to convey these character values in the menganggun verses. This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected using the observation and note-taking technique from popular menganggun verses manuscripts. The data were analyzed by exploring the chosen menganggun verses to identify the character values inherent in their linguistic and thematic components. The analysis data also observed at the ways the verses were delivered, showing how these methods help get moral messages across in the tradition. The result showed that the character values in the menganggun poetry were related to individual character values, social character values, and religious character values. In terms of individual character, the menganggun poetry teaches the importance of healthy self-esteem without arrogance. Regarding social character, the poetry emphasizes values such as compassion, empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility. In terms of religious character, the menganggun poetry instills values of obedience, piety, gratitude, sincerity, and spiritual well-being. These values integrate the local wisdom of the Singkil culture, which is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, thus reflecting holistic character education. The techniques for conveying character values in the menganggun poetry include the use of poetic and symbolic language rich in metaphors, advice and prayer approaches, repetition and rhythm techniques, and the incorporation of Islamic values.

Abstract

This study investigates how the SPEAK-BOT framework shapes group dynamics and collaborative interaction quality in EFL speaking pedagogy. Tthis study addresses the underexplored social dimension of language learning. Specifically, it examines how chatbot-generated prompts, when embedded in a pedagogical framework, influence turn-taking, elaboration, responsiveness, and cohesion during group discussions. A qualitative research design was employed with 20 third-semester English education students at Universitas Teuku Umar, Indonesia. The Students were organized into four small groups and engaged in structured speaking tasks that required consulting chatbot prompts as discussion starters. The instruments used in this research were an audio recorder for data collection, a thematic coding framework for discourse analysis, and a rubric-based scoring sheet to evaluate participants’ performance. The data were analyzed using discourse analysis and rubric-based scoring supported by descriptive statistics. The findings revealed a clear variation across groups. One group achieved very high interaction quality, marked by equal participation, deep elaboration, and strong cohesion. Two groups performed moderately, each showing strengths in some dimensions but gaps in others. One group demonstrated weak collaboration, relying heavily on chatbot output and producing fragmented discussions. The results suggest that the SPEAK-BOT framework has the potential to foster richer collaboration when learners use AI critically, but risks weakening interaction when prompts are adopted passively. The study contributes by reframing AI not as a substitute for peer dialogue but as a pedagogical mediator that can strengthen collaborative speaking pedagogy.

Abstract

This research investigates the preferences and perceptions of English learners toward the use of digital comics as a medium for enhancing reading comprehension. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, the data were collected from 100 participants mixed between 50 high school students and 50 university students with prior experience in digital comic usage. A four-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data, then the data that was collected explained by a descriptive quantitative method. The data were analyzed using a descriptive quantitative to provide a clear overview of participants’ perceptions based on the Likert-scale. The findings revealed that the majority of the students preferably use webtoon instead of other digital comics for learning. The findings can be reported that digital comics significantly improve reading comprehension, facilitate vocabulary acquisition, and engage more compared to traditional reading materials. More than half of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed with statements across all of the statements, indicating consistently positive perceptions. Engagement and motivation were strongly influenced by the visual and interactive features of digital comics, while language proficiency and prior experience emerged as key factors shaping perceptions. The results highlight the potential of digital comics as an innovative learning media that makes reading more interesting. These findings highlight the pedagogical value of digital comics especially webtoon in language education to improve both comprehension and learner motivation.
