Abstract

The increasing popularity of the internet has prompted people to embrace digital platforms for language acquisition. Language learning environments now exist in both physical classrooms and virtual spaces. Therefore, listening skills, which are an important component of language proficiency, especially in higher education can be effectively taught through a medium such as Discord, a new and useful digital learning tool. The primary aim of this study is to explore students’ voices regarding the use of Discord to enhance critical listening proficiency. To gather meaningful data, a descriptive qualitative design was employed using instruments such as classroom observation checklists, field notes, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The study involved 20 students enrolled in the International Class Program at Maulana Malik Ibrahim Islamic State University Malang. The findings revealed that Discord facilitates the organization of systematic materials, provides features supporting both offline and online learning, encourages the design of new interactive educational activities, and enables immediate responses that promote dynamic discussions. The implication of this study suggests that Discord can be adopted as an effective supplementary platform for developing students’ listening skills and fostering collaborative learning in digital language classrooms.

Abstract

Indonesian students face various challenges in writing English, especially when composing descriptive texts due to limited vocabulary and low motivation. This study aims at test the effectiveness of the Memrise application in improving students' writing skills in descriptive texts. This study was conducted at SMP Namira, Probolinggo City using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. This study involved two classes: an experimental class, which used the Memrise application in learning, and a control class, which used quasi-experimental methods. The results showed that the use of Memrise helped students improving their vocabulary, sentence structure, and writing organization. After conducting validity, reliability, normality, and homogeneity tests, it was found that the data met statistical requirements. Hypothesis testing showed that there was a significant difference in students' writing achievement between the experimental and control groups, concluding that Memrise was effective in improving writing performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended for English teachers to utilize the Memrise application as a learning medium to support students' vocabulary and writing development. Future researchers are encouraged to explore the use of Memrise in other English language skills or different educational level.

Abstract

Integrating cultural content into English language learning is crucial, especially in Indonesia where English is taught as a foreign language. Cultural elements can be introduced through various educational settings, particularly via ELT textbooks used in schools. While previous studies have examined culture in textbooks aligned with the 2013 Curriculum, this study investigates the cultural categories represented in the ELT textbook Bahasa Inggris English for Change for eleventh-grade students. Using a content analysis approach, the study analyzed both visual and textual artifacts based on Cortazzi and Jin’s cultural categories: Source Culture, Target Culture, and International Culture. The results show that all three categories are present across 20 identified artifacts. Source Culture is the most frequently represented (11 artifacts), followed by International Culture (5 artifacts), while Target Culture appears the least (4 artifacts). The study recommends that teachers incorporate a more balanced range of cultural materials, that curriculum developers integrate source, target, and international cultural elements more systematically, and that policy support be strengthened to promote equitable cultural representation in national ELT materials.

Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in improving English speaking skills among Indonesian senior high school students. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research utilized a quasi-experimental design involving 70 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group utilized mobile applications like ELSA Speak and HelloTalk, whilst the control group implemented conventional ESL methods. Speaking performance was measured through pre-test and post-test scores, complemented by questionnaires and interviews to explore learners’ perceptions.Quantitative findings reveal that although both groups demonstrated statistically significant improvement, the experimental group showed substantially greater gains. The control group recorded a modest mean increase of 1.63 points with a moderate effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.58), whereas the experimental group achieved a remarkable mean gain of 13.23 points, accompanied by a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 3.36). These results indicate that MALL is considerably more effective than traditional instruction in improving English speaking proficiency. The reduced score variability in the experimental group further suggests more consistent learner achievement following the intervention. Qualitative findings indicate that MALL increased learners’ motivation, reduced speaking anxiety, and enhanced learner autonomy through flexible practice and immediate feedback. Despite its effectiveness, the study identified challenges related to technological constraints and initial instructor readiness. Issues such as unstable internet connectivity occasionally disrupted learning, and limited early guidance affected initial application use. However, these challenges did not significantly hinder learning outcomes when adequate teacher support was provided. Overall, the findings demonstrate that MALL offers a pedagogically effective approach to enhancing English speaking skills in the Indonesian high school context. When integrated thoughtfully with conventional instruction and supported by appropriate technological and instructional preparation, MALL has strong potential to transform speaking instruction and promote more engaging, autonomous, and effective language learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine how global diversity competence was developed through an intercultural ukhuwah-based English instructional model and how students perceived its role in shaping their global competence in an Indonesian senior high school context. The concept of ukhuwah was positioned as an ethical perspective emphasizing relational solidarity, empathy, and social responsibility in intercultural learning. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving 25 eleventh-grade students across five learning stages: early introduction, ta’aruf, tafahum, ta’awun, and takaful. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with five students, and document analysis, and were analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings indicated that indicators of global diversity competence emerged differently across stages. Awareness of cultural differences and initial intercultural communication appeared in the early introduction and ta’aruf stages, while deeper understanding and reflection on diversity were observed during tafahum. Collaborative engagement and empathetic interaction became more visible in ta’awun, and elements of social responsibility began to appear in takaful. Students also reported generally positive perceptions of the model, particularly in terms of increased confidence and intercultural awareness. The findings suggest that the model may support the early development of intercultural competence, although deeper competencies require more sustained and critical engagement.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of wiki-based collaborative writing on EFL students’ business writing performance in a Business English Writing course at Universitas Pahlawan Tuanku Tambusai. The study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 100 university students. Students participated in four types of wiki-based collaborative writing activities during the treatment period. Writing performance was assessed using an analytical scoring rubric covering overall writing, content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and paired sample t-tests. The findings revealed that there were no statistically significant differences among the four wiki collaboration types, although Wiki Type 4 obtained the highest mean score. The results also showed a significant improvement in students’ overall writing performance after the wiki-based collaborative treatment. However, no significant improvement was found in the individual writing components, including content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. These findings suggest that wiki-based collaborative writing can support students’ overall writing development and collaborative engagement, although its short-term impact on specific writing sub-skills remains limited. The study contributes to the growing body of research on digital collaborative learning in ESP and EFL writing contexts.

Abstract

Syntactical agreement is a pivotal grammatical relation that ensures coherence between elements in a clause, particularly in terms of number, gender, and person. Failing to master it results in grammatical errors that undermine communication. Focusing on the Inthiq! 2-Speak English! film by Gontor TV, the research aims to identify the types of agreement employed by the characters and their appropriateness across different agreement structures. Employing a qualitative content analysis design, data were collected from the film’s transcription and analyzed using established grammatical frameworks and relevant previous studies. The findings reveal two major agreement types: subject-verb agreement (55 occurrences) and pronoun-antecedent agreement (10 occurrences). Through a systematic analysis of these patterns, the researcher examines how accurately and consistently agreement forms are used in authentic dialogue and interprets how these naturally occurring examples can be transformed into pedagogical materials. The study highlights its relevance to EFL instruction by demonstrating that authentic media, particularly locally produced films, can serve as effective resources for teaching grammatical agreement, enhancing learners’ syntactic awareness, and illustrating real-life language use. The findings suggest that agreement patterns are predominantly simple and consistent, reflecting simplified spoken input rather than full natural complexity. Overall, the results provide both linguistic insights and practical implications for integrating audio-visual materials into EFL teaching.

Abstract

Students writing skills are a key component of language learning. Nevertheless, in practice, teachers provide little feedback, and many students struggle to improve their writing. Electronic feedback has evolved into a powerful method for facilitating students' writing growth in the digital age. The objective of this study is to investigate the use of electronic feedback via Microsoft Word to maximize students writing development. A qualitative descriptive research design was used, with participants comprising 15 fourth-semester undergraduate students. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and the analysis of students' written assignments. The findings indicate that feedback received electronically in Microsoft Word, such as through comments and track changes, assists students in recognizing errors in their writing (grammar and vocabulary) and revising it more effectively. In addition, this type of feedback boosts students' motivation and engagement with the writing process. Therefore, electronic feedback in Microsoft Word can be considered an effective strategy for supporting students writing development in English language learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary recognition plays a crucial role in identifying key information of spoken text in listening comprehension. This study aligns with Brown’s theory, which posits that listening involves bottom-up processing that requires learners to recognize and interpret sounds, words, and grammatical structures. This study aimed to examine how effectively the Listen A Minute website helped tenth-grade students of Secondary Level at Senior High School in Central Java recognize key words through listening exercises. A quasi-experimental approach with an experimental and control group was employed. The sample consisted of 60 tenth-grade students of Secondary Level at Senior High School in Central Java . The experiment used a material from the Listen A Minute website, while the control group received the conventional listening. Data were collected from pre- and post-test listening assessments, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results revealed a significant difference between the two groups, with a p-value of 0.003 (p 0.05). These findings reject the null hypothesis and support the alternative hypothesis. The findings indicated that students’ ability to identify keywords during listening tasks significantly improved when using the Listen A Minute website. Therefore, the website can be considered an effective pedagogical tool for improving listening comprehension, particularly in identifying key information in spoken texts.

Abstract

To overcome the issue of limited student participation in classroom learning, teachers are encouraged to develop and apply innovative teaching strategies. In addition, fostering students’ 21st-century skills is essential, particularly in alignment with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study investigates the influence of a gamification learning strategy in fostering students' critical thinking skills in English learning, specifically among eighth-grade students at Junior High School in Indonesia. The research was conducted by first measuring students’ baseline critical thinking skills through a pre-test and then comparing results with a post-test. A quasi-experimental quantitative approach was used, employing a two-group design: the experimental group and the control group. Data analysis was performed using t-test formula. The post-test results indicated that the experimental group scored an average of 85.56, significantly higher than the control group's average of 67.91. The statistical test yielded a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, which is below the 0.05 significance level (p < α), leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, these findings confirm that gamification learning, especially utilizing tools like Quizalize can significantly improve students' engagement and critical thinking in English learning.
