Abstract

Education plays a strategic role in developing students’ potential; however, low learning outcomes remain a persistent challenge, often resulting from teaching methods that fail to accommodate diverse learning styles. Recognizing that learners possess distinct preferences—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—this study emphasizes the importance of adapting instructional approaches to align with these differences, thereby fostering more effective learning experiences. This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of differentiated instruction tailored to students’ learning styles in improving learning outcomes among third-grade students at SD Negeri Pao-Pao, Gowa Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design, the study involved 29 students. Instruments included written tests and a VARK-based learning style questionnaire, and data were analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, followed by one-way ANOVA to examine differences in learning outcomes across the three learning style groups. The results showed that while statistical differences among visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners were not significant, each group exhibited notable gains in posttest scores. Visual learners benefited most from the use of diagrams and multimedia, auditory learners from discussion-based learning, and kinesthetic learners from hands-on activities. These findings indicate that differentiated instruction—when responsive to learning preferences—can significantly enhance students’ engagement and overall academic achievement. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting inclusive and adaptive pedagogy in Indonesian elementary education and provides practical recommendations for teachers to incorporate multimodal strategies in lesson planning while encouraging policymakers to promote professional development programs focused on differentiated instruction as a pathway to improving learning equity and quality.

Abstract

Pamali is a form of local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation and is still believed by some people today. Pamali reflects prohibitions or warnings that are believed to bring bad luck if violated. The purpose of this study is to determine the realization of Pamali words in Sasak culture as expressions and usage in pronouns, as well as the cultural values of Pamali words, and to describe Pamali in supporting the sustainability of knowledge and noble traditions within the framework of SDGs. This study is based on linguistic anthropology and ethnography theories. Data in this study were collected by applying participatory observation and in-depth interview methods, accompanied by recording and note-taking techniques. The data were analyzed using two methods: the Miles and Haberman analysis model (data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion) and the Spradley analysis model. The results of the analysis show that the Sasak people view pamali as a norm that, if upheld, can create peace and tranquility in life; conversely, if violated, it can lead to dehumanization. The word pamali is practiced by the Sasak people in the form of greetings, which are used in the form of nouns and are closely related to cultural and ethical norms. Pamali in Sasak society serves to regulate politeness and maintain social harmony through pronouns that are sensitive to age and status, where violations are considered to be a violation of honor. This practice also preserves cultural knowledge and supports the sustainability of local traditions within the framework of the SDGs.

Abstract

The urgency of this study stems from the growing gap in English language learning, particularly in mastering English structures such as passive voice and complex sentences, which has widened in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. EFL students often struggle to comprehend complex grammatical forms, which adversely affects their writing and speaking proficiency. Adaptive AI-based technology presents a promising solution by offering personalized, interactive, and effective learning experiences. This study aims to experimentally investigate the effectiveness of adaptive AI technology in enhancing EFL students’ understanding of English structure, specifically by comparing it to conventional teaching methods. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach was employed. The population consisted of undergraduate students majoring in English, and the sample comprised 60 students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction using adaptive AI technology, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, questionnaires, and interviews. Inferential statistical analysis, including MANOVA, was conducted to determine significant differences in grammar mastery between groups. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group's posttest scores (M = 84.70) compared to the control group (M = 74.30), particularly in mastering passive voice and complex sentences. Students also reported positive perceptions of the AI-based learning experience. This study contributes to the advancement of English language teaching and offers a scalable model for integrating adaptive AI in language education.

Abstract

The integration of AI in EFL is increasingly vital to meet the demands of digital content creation, where English serves as a global medium for audience engagement. This study aims to investigate how students view the usefulness of an AI-based English e-module in improving their abilities and involvement in the production of digital content. An explanatory sequential mixed-method was used in this study. The data were gathered from 44 students of communication science study program at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. Quantitative data were collected via a structured questionnaire grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and qualitative data were gathered through structured interviews with six purposively chosen participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analyses. Results revealed strong positive perceptions: the AI feature usefulness item recorded M = 3.98, the comparative effectiveness over conventional methods item yielded M = 3.89, and overall satisfaction achieved M = 3.91. Thematic analysis confirmed the value of real-time chatbot feedback and automated corrections in enhancing scriptwriting and confidence, though device incompatibilities and navigation issues emerged as barriers. These results suggest that in order to acquire real digital communication abilities, educators should incorporate AI-driven e-modules into task-based EFL curricula. Additionally, system design should give priority to multilingual support and cross-device optimization in order to guarantee equitable access.

Abstract

Inclusive education for Deaf students in Indonesia continues to face pedagogical challenges, particularly in English language instruction due to the limited availability of accessible and appropriate learning materials. Deaf learners often experience difficulties in vocabulary acquisition and comprehension when instruction relies heavily on text-based approaches. This study aims to conduct a needs analysis to inform the development of culturally inclusive and bilingual English learning materials for Deaf students. Using a qualitative research design, structured interviews were conducted with two English teachers and eight Deaf students at SLBB YPAC Palembang. The data were analyzed using Target Situation Analysis (TSA) and Present Situation Analysis (PSA) frameworks. The findings reveal that Deaf students require strong visual support and the integration of Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO) to facilitate vocabulary learning and comprehension. Participants also emphasized the importance of incorporating local cultural elements from Palembang, such as traditional food, arts, and dance, to enhance engagement and strengthen cultural identity. Pop-up books emerged as effective multimodal learning media due to their visual, tactile, and interactive features that align with Deaf students’ learning preferences. In conclusion, this study highlights the urgent need for bilingual, multimodal, and culturally responsive English learning materials. The findings provide practical implications for the development of inclusive instructional resources that can reduce learning barriers and promote equitable English language education for Deaf learners.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in higher education, Intensive Listening courses are expected to prepare students for the demands of academic listening yet teaching practices do not always align with students' actual needs. This study explores the impact of students' listening needs on the development of lecturers' pedagogical competencies in Intensive Listening courses. Using a mixed-methods needs analysis design, data were collected from 120 students in three classes through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while observation and interview data were analyzed thematically and combined through triangulation. The research findings indicate that students prioritize academic listening as their primary goal, but still struggle with lexical density, high speech rate, accent variation, and note-taking when dealing with long spoken texts involving multiple speakers. Students also strongly prefer multimodal and scaffolded activities, particularly video-based materials supported by transcripts or subtitles and clear guidance at the pre-listening, during-listening, and post-listening stages. These needs point to specific areas where lecturers' pedagogical competencies need to be strengthened, including planning and designing academic listening tasks, implementing process-oriented instruction and strategies, and implementing assessments that truly reflect the demands of academic listening. This study proposes the EPMT (ESP-informed, Process-oriented, Metacognitive, and TPACK-supported) model as a practical framework for aligning Intensive Listening pedagogy with students' needs.

Abstract

This study explored the alignment between teacher expectations and learner experiences of the BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia for Foreign Speaker) program. Since the demand for BIPA is increasing, these dynamics have to be understood in order to improve language learning outcomes. The research employed a mixed methods approach in a university in Batam and involved eight teachers and nine learners of different cultural backgrounds. Interviews, questionnaires and observations were used to gather data. The partial alignment of teacher expectations and learner experiences were found. Both focus on speaking skills and give regular feedback, but they differ in how to teach, how fast they should pace the lesson, and how to engage learners. The challenges that were faced include grammar, pronunciation and understanding spoken instructions. The research concluded that these gaps are addressed through differentiated instruction, interactive activities and culturally responsive teaching. These changes might increase learner satisfaction and program effectiveness. Research findings made clear the need for more learner centered approaches and provide important guidance for stakeholders and future studies to improve BIPA programs.

Abstract

English language acquisition is indispensable for cultivating communication competencies and fostering intercultural understanding from an early stage. However, Indonesian elementary students frequently encounter difficulties in vocabulary mastery due to repetitive instructional approaches and a deficiency of engaging, visual media tailored to young learners’ concrete learning styles. This research examines the efficacy of the gamified media, Animal Quest, in enhancing students’ English vocabulary. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental methodology, forty first-grade students at SD Negeri 5 Pringsewu Barat were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and subsequently analyzed using SPSS 25.0 with paired and independent t-tests. The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement within the experimental group, which demonstrated a higher mean post-test score (87.05) compared to the control group (70.20). These results imply that gamification via Animal Quest effectively enhances vocabulary acquisition, engagement, and motivation among young learners. Furthermore, the study underscores that gamified storytelling media can serve as a valuable instructional innovation within primary English education, aligning with the objectives of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum and encouraging educators to adopt more interactive, student-centered pedagogical practices.

Abstract

This study investigates whether an integrated Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and digital literacy sequence enhances pre-service Indonesian Language (PIL) teachers’ communicative competences and how they perceive and adapt the model under classroom constraints. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, researchers first conducted a quantitative pre–post evaluation with 25 PIL participants enrolled in an Indonesian Language Education program. Communicative performance was assessed through parallel speaking, writing, and multimodal tasks rated on four analytic dimensions—linguistic, pragmatic, discourse, and strategic—supplemented by a multimodal criterion. Descriptive statistics indicated overall gains to a proficient band, with discourse and strategic competences displaying the highest central tendency and the narrowest dispersion. Linguistic and pragmatic competences improved but showed wider between-learner variance, suggesting uneven consolidation of affixes, pronouns, particles, and register-appropriate choices. The qualitative follow-up (observations, interviews) explained these patterns: the pre-task → task → post-task cycle, combined with purpose-bound digital supports, stabilized interactional routines, made discourse organization visible, and prompted targeted focus-on-form. Participants adapted to assessment pressure, class size, and technology access through role rotation, offline-first drafting, low-bandwidth alternatives (audio + transcript), and a standardized “core trio” of tools, which reduced cognitive load and widened equitable participation.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having a significant influence on language learning, primarily through Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE), which gives quick and personalized feedback to learners. However, there is not enough research on the effectiveness and challenges in establishing higher-order writing abilities in the TESOL context. This study reviews the available research on how AI-based AWE supports TESOL writing and what problems it might have. This research follows Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis of 55 peer-reviewed studies from academic sources (e.g., Scopus, Google Scholar, JSTORE, ERIC) published between 2018 and 2025 reporting findings on the effect of AWE on pedagogy in TESOL teaching. The findings focus on both the effectiveness and the challenges of AWE tools. The analysis highlights themes such as improved linguistic accuracy, enhanced learner motivation, and personalized learning experiences, which contrast with challenges like academic dishonesty, ethical concerns, over-reliance on AI, and limitations in addressing higher-order cognitive skills. These findings indicate that while AWE tools significantly improve grammar, vocabulary, and writing fluency, these are less effective in developing critical thinking and argumentation. The study suggests the need for blended feedback models that combine AI feedback and teacher guidance, the implementation of ethical guidelines, and the conduct of long-term research to see how AWE affects advanced writing skills over time.
