Abstract

This research examines how English major students perceive the role of technology in their language learning. The study aims to investigate students’ opinions, the technological tools they commonly utilize, the benefits and challenges they perceive, and to provide recommendations for enhancing the integration of technology in English education. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive method, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire containing closed-ended using linkert scale and open-ended questions. The participants comprised students from the English Language Education program at STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang, specifically those enrolled from semesters 2 to 8 who have experience using technology for learning English. The findings reveal that students regularly use a variety of digital tools, such as mobile applications, to aid their English learning. Participants express favorable views on technology, emphasizing its role in improving vocabulary, grammar, writing, and listening skills. Moreover, technology is perceived as a motivator that enhances engagement, boosts self-confidence, and promotes autonomy in the learning experience. Nevertheless, obstacles persist, such as technical issues, digital distractions, and insufficient structured guidance from educators. The study emphasizes the necessity of institutional support, which includes technical assistance, teacher training, and efficient strategies to reduce distractions. It advocates for a blended learning approach that integrates technology with conventional face-to-face methods to foster a more adaptable and effective educational environment.

Abstract

English has been widely known as a global lingua franca. By mastering English, it enables students to build good communication on a global scale and assists them to express their interests in many sectors such as economy, politics, culture, and education (Pennycook, 2025). These interests definitely influence students’ motivation in studying English. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the discourse of students’ self-learning motivation in English by exploring both motivational factors, i.e., intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In doing this scientific work, the researchers applied Cresswell's (2016) convergent parallel mixed-method design that variedly provided both qualitative and quantitative data. With these various data, it helped the readers to comprehend the research explanation. The results demonstrated that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors have contributive aspects in maintaining students’ motivation in English learning. For instance, for the intrinsic factors, 60% of students are motivated to study English to gain a job, while self-confidence development and the pursuit of gaining a good academic score are equally 20%. In addition, the extrinsic factors consist of several conditions, i.e., educational (i.e., provided material with 13.3% voters and technological devices (TD) as learning facilities with 73.3% voters) and social (family support with 13.3% voters) conditions. Although intrinsic factors (66.7%) exert a more significant influence than extrinsic factors (33.3%), it is undeniable that both substantially impact students' self-learning motivation in English. Therefore, by investigating both of these factors, the researchers expected that it would help the educators to design the effective teaching curriculum in the English course.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of technology-based teaching methods on students’ English-speaking skills in secondary schools in rural Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups for six weeks, the research involved 70 students from two secondary schools in Kefamenanu, East Nusa Tenggara. One group received instruction using traditional methods, while the other, the experimental group received instruction through digital tools—Flipgrid, Google Meet, and multimedia apps—while the control group followed traditional methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests focused on fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence; student questionnaires; and classroom observations. Findings reveal that students in the experimental group outperformed their peers, with a statistically significant gain of 13.5 points in speaking scores (p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 2.10), compared to 4.4 points in the control group. The findings reveal a significant improvement in the speaking abilities of students exposed to technology-based instruction compared to those taught through conventional means. Students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of confidence, engagement, and linguistic accuracy during speaking tasks. The study underscores the pedagogical value of incorporating digital tools to foster more interactive and learner-centered classroom environments. It further suggests that, when thoughtfully integrated, technology can effectively support the development of communicative competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting. This research contributes to the growing discourse on educational technology in language learning and offers practical implications for English educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to improve speaking outcomes in secondary education.

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the relevance of the English teaching materials in the textbook “My Next Words (For Elementary School 5)” concerning the values of religious moderation as adopted in primary schools. The textbook has received endorsement from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, highlighting the importance of evaluating its alignment with the government's religious moderation standards. The research methodology employed content analysis of the textbook to identify content related to religious moderation values. Surveys and interviews with elementary school teachers using this textbook provided insights into its utilization and its reflection of religious moderation values in teaching practices. The results indicated that the textbook primarily focuses on language skills, with limited integration of religious moderation values. It lacks sensitive language usage and activities promoting interfaith understanding. However, it does feature diverse character names associated with specific religious groups and incorporates some aspects of cultural diversity. Educators expressed the importance of integrating religious moderation values into English language teaching materials, but they found the current materials lacking in this regard. In conclusion, the textbook “My Next Words: For Elementary School” for Grade V requires improvements to better integrate religious moderation values. These enhancements will contribute to a more inclusive and relevant English language learning experience for elementary school students, fostering tolerance and interfaith harmony.
