<![CDATA[Socrative as one of educational technologies provides the students an ease to learn language through reading activities. They can practice reading on screen as the students in global era have commonly familiarized with. However, the teacher can apply certain reading strategies for students’ understandings on materials when trying to integrate technology for reading. Thus, this research proposes to investigate the effectiveness of Socrative and Moodle in reading classrooms that employ Kow-Want to Know-Learned (KWL) strategy. By using causal comparative study, seventy students of English Department at one of Islamic state universities in East Java Indonesia who are in the third semester are divided into intervention and control groups. The previous group is directed to read by using Moodle and do quiz with Socrative, while the latter read and do the quiz in Moodle. Here, KWL strategy is integrated with both technologies. The results of study exemplify that there is no significance difference between the students in the intervention and the control group. However, the mean scores of posttest on the intervention group increased better than the control group.]]>

<![CDATA[Integrating digital literacy into the teaching and learning process in ELT (English Language Teaching) classes has become a significant challenge for teachers in the 21st century. Digital literacy has evolved beyond being a mere technical skill; it has fundamentally transformed the way learners approach their education. In response to this shift, many English learners, including secondary school students, now rely heavily on advanced utilities and web-based tools to create and share meaning. This paradigm shift has not only influenced the curriculum for English students at SMA IT Abhur Mataram but has also been guided by the global Digital literacy competency framework set forth by UNESCO. The approach taken in this study employs a graphical representation to subjectively depict the advanced levels of English language learning. It identifies seven key areas of higher education skills that play a crucial role in English learning at Abhu Mataram High School. These areas encompass proficiency in equipment and software, mastery of data and information, effective communication and collaboration, content generation using computers, ensuring online security, problem-solving abilities, and career-related skills. In summary, the digital literacy standards established by UNESCO for the broader digital society can be effectively applied within the context of English language learning. These seven areas of computer skills, which are integral to the learning process at Abhur Islamic School Mataram, are systematically integrated into preparatory, intermediate, and concluding exercises, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date approach to English education in the digital age.]]>

<![CDATA[The presence of a technology-based speech learning application namely English Language Speech Application (ELSA), an artificial intelligence (AI) may promote EFL students' speaking performance because of its great features. This research attempts to examine EFL students' speaking performance by using the ELSA speak application, further explore their perceptions of using it, and find out the inhibiting factors influencing low performance in their speaking. A mixed-method research design was applied to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data. 21 EFL students (5 Males and 16 Females) from Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta were involved in the data gathering process which was collected by using a test, questionnaire, and semi-structured interview. Furthermore, pre-test and post-test were conducted to examine their speaking ability, and a questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale. In addition, a semi-structured interview was conducted to further explore the inhibiting factors of their low speaking performance. The findings revealed that students' speaking ability has significantly improved after using the ELSA application. It can be known the mean score of pre-test results was 75, meanwhile, the post-test score was 88. There was a 17% improvement after using the ELSA application. Furthermore, of 20 respondents, 18 (90%) of respondents feel confident in speaking English by using the ELSA Speak application. Only 2 (10%) of the respondents disagree and none strongly disagree about the statement. Of 20 respondents, 16 or 80% of respondents have positive perceptions that using ELSA may increase their speaking performance. Moreover, of 20 respondents, 19 or 95% of respondents perceived ELSA to be a great speech application that could boost their motivation to improve their speaking performance. 18 or 90% of respondents perceived that this application has a good quality learning design. Meanwhile, internal and external factors were identified as the inhibiting factors influencing their low speaking performance. ]]>

<![CDATA[The ability of students to edit scientific papers is still low, especially in mastering the use of hedge (fencing devices) and boosters (strengthening devices). Hedges and boosters are forms of expression of the author's attitude towards propositional content through epistemic modalities. This study aims to describe hedges and boosters in student scientific articles within the framework of a pragmatic metadiscourse. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. The data used is in the form of editing words, sentences, and paragraphs in scientific articles editing courses. The source of this research data is a scientific article by PGRI Adi Buana University Surabaya students in 2022. Data collection techniques use documentation techniques and recording techniques. Data analysis techniques to identify hedges and word lists of boosters using the AntConc application built by Lawrence Anthony. Data that has been obtained from the AntConc application found the frequency of hedges and boosters in scientific articles. The results of this study showed that the use of modal verb hedges in the first position was 214 frequencies, followed by 59 adverbs of hedges, and verb hedges were 3 frequencies, while the use of booster in the first position was 202 frequencies, followed by adverbs booster of 63 frequencies, and booster verbs of 6 frequencies. This study shows that students ability to tendency to (1) use epistemic modalities in modal verbs, (2) tend to use more capital verbs that mean certainty and possibility, and (3) tend to use adverbs to mean epistemic modalities.]]>

<![CDATA[The Mover Teacher Program (MTP), released in 2021, is widely regarded as a crucial measure towards achieving substantial transformations in the field of education in Indonesia. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the MTP in Sumbawa Besar City. Through this study, we sought evidence of lessons learnt from the field. To conduct the study, researchers employed a modified version of Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model. Three out of four postulates derived from the model were used to probe the phenomenon under investigation, i.e. (1) teachers’ reaction, (2) learning endeavor and (3) application of knowledge/skills gained. The fourth postulate regarding the assessment of students’ achievement was not included in the study as the MTP program just commenced in the research site. The study employed a qualitative research approach with a multiple-case design. Participants of this study were eight alumni of MTP teachers coming from four different schools. Data were collected through interviews, observations and study of related documents. The data collected were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing and verification. Results of the study show that participants of the study benefitted from participating in the MTP program although they underwent various route of transformational learning. Regardless of disorienting problem in the beginning of the program implementation, participants were able to maintain their new skills and knowledge to improve their own teaching performance and other teachers in the impacted schools.
