Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of the round-robin technique with guided questions on reading comprehension among 8th-grade students at SMPN 1 Jogoroto Jombang. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research compared two groups: one using round-robin with guided questions (29 students) and the other using round-robin alone (26 students). Pre-tests and post-tests assessed reading comprehension. ANCOVA analysis showed a significance value of 0.655, indicating no significant difference between the two groups.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) in a sixth-grade classroom at a public primary school in Singaraja. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that SRL strategies, including goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-reflection, empower students to become active participants in their education. Teachers played a vital role in fostering these practices through scaffolding and guidance, while group activities promoted collaboration and critical thinking. Independent material selection was observed to enhance engagement, critical thinking, and digital literacy, aligning with modern educational frameworks like Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar initiative. However, challenges such as varying levels of student readiness, limited research skills, and insufficient familiarity with digital tools were noted, highlighting the need for structured teacher support. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing independence and guidance to maximize SRL’s benefits, preparing students for lifelong learning and adaptability in dynamic educational contexts.

Abstract

Technology has made it possible for education to occur without boundaries, thus virtual learning has become a common mode in the realm of English language teaching. This study aimed to investigate EFL students’ learning engagement in a virtual speaking classroom, highlighting four aspects of learning engagement: behavioural engagement, cognitive engagement, emotional engagement, and agentic engagement. A phenomenological case study was employed with four EFL students enrolling in a virtual speaking classroom as participants to gain rich data collection. Non-participant observations and multiple in-depth interviews were conducted to collect the data, followed by a thematic analysis of the data. The findings revealed that behaviour, cognitive, and agentic engagement in the EFL virtual speaking classroom were identified, yet emotional engagement and positive emotion were missing. Accordingly, more studies on learning engagement associated with other variables and different settings are recommended for future researchers

Abstract

The study investigated the influence of the Spotify application on the vocabulary achievement of eleventh-grade students. The research identified the need for engaging methods to enhance vocabulary learning, as non-technology media approaches often failed to captivate students. Spotify’s audio media features, such as songs and lyrics, offered contextual and interactive learning opportunities. Previous studies and the theoretical framework suggested that digital platforms like Spotify could significantly influence students’ vocabulary acquisition by presenting language in dynamic and authentic contexts. This study took a quantitative approach, using a pretest and posttest experimental research design that involved 80 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used Spotify for vocabulary exercises, including listening to curated songs, analyzing lyrics, and completing interactive tasks, while the control group received conventional lessons. Data analysis through IBM SPSS 19 assessed vocabulary improvements between the two groups, highlighting Spotify’s pedagogical advantages in creating engaging and effective language-learning environments. The results confirmed the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ), indicating that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. The null hypothesis (H₀), which assumed no significant difference, was rejected. The results confirmed that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. This suggested that integrating Spotify into language instruction not only influenced vocabulary retention but also fostered motivation and engagement among students, marking it as an effective educational tool.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Duolingo, a well-known English mobile application, in enhancing university students’ scores on the Duolingo English Test (DET). The DET itself has transformed to be an official English assessment like TOEFL or IELTS and has been recognized by institutions abroad. The research employed a quasi-experimental design which involved 110 EFL students in an Indonesian university who were asked to use Duolingo consistently for 7 weeks. Pre-test and post-test of DET scores were gathered to measure the impact of regular Duolingo use. The findings revealed a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.001 (0.001 < 0.05) which shows there is an improvement in the university students’ DET scores in the 7th week after intervention, especially on vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension. The results suggest that incorporating mobile-assisted language learning tools like Duolingo can be an effective strategy to enhance students’ English proficiency and test performance. This study contributes to the rising evidence supporting technology involvement in English language learning, especially in preparation for standardized English tests like DET.
