Abstract

The shift from traditional to digital textbooks in education brings both prospects and hurdles, especially in teaching English to young learners. Despite the widespread adoption of digital textbooks, their impact on students' language skills and teacher-student interaction needs more exploration. This study aims to thoroughly evaluate how digital textbooks affect English comprehension and production among young learners and teachers. The research conducted at SDS Islam Ar-Risalah Jember involved two teachers and eleven students, employing a descriptive qualitative method. Observations, interviews, and document analysis were utilized to gather data, analyzed through the Miles and Huberman method, pinpointing trends in digital textbook usage and understanding. Results suggest digital English textbooks significantly improve young learners' and teachers' English skills, enhancing speaking, reading, writing, and listening abilities. These resources offer a dynamic and interactive educational experience. However, transitioning to digital tools introduces challenges like infrastructural limitations and the need for teaching method adjustments. Addressing these issues is essential for fully leveraging digital textbooks in education. In conclusion, while digital textbooks can boost English language mastery among young learners and teachers, realizing this potential requires overcoming certain technological and pedagogical obstacles.

Abstract

English-subtitled videos are a popular and accessible form of multimedia that can enhance language learning by providing authentic input and scaffolding comprehension. Therefore, This study aims to assess the effectiveness of English-subtitled videos as a learning tool for enhancing speaking, listening, and vocabulary skills among language learners. A total of 87 eligible studies were included in the analysis. The results of our analysis, conducted using JASP software simulation, indicate a statistically significant impact of English-subtitled videos on language learning, accounting for 59% of the variance, placing it in the Moderate category of significance. Specifically, the effect size values for speaking, listening, and vocabulary were 0.64, 0.59, and 0.55, respectively, highlighting their positive influence. Furthermore, the present research revealed that studies published in 2022 exhibited the highest effect size, with an estimated value of 0.771, underscoring the growing relevance of this instructional approach in recent years. Additionally, when considering the number of participants, studies with fewer than 40 participants demonstrated the highest effect, with an estimated value of 0.534. This suggests that English-subtitled videos are particularly well-suited for improving speaking skills, especially in smaller sample sizes. These findings offer valuable insights for educators and learners seeking effective multimedia tools to develop language proficiency.

Abstract

The utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) holds an important role in language learning, as it stimulates students’ enthusiasm for studying, encourages lifelong learning, enhances critical thinking skills, grants learners more autonomy, confidence, and motivation. In the EFL classroom, vocabulary mastery is one of the most important yet difficult language components especially for young learners to master. This study aimed to examine how vocabulary mastery of 7th grade students in one of public junior high schools in east Java, Indonesia were affected by ICT-based learning through wordwall.net. The study employed a one-group pre-test-post-test experimental design, with the numbers of 32 students. The participants were chosen through the purposive sampling technique. Pre-test and post-test were used to measure a student's vocabulary mastery before and after the treatment using wordwall.net. SPSS 21.0 was used for data analysis to find out whether the students’ vocabulary mastery get improved or not. The findings indicated that after using wordwall.net as the ICT based learning media, students' vocabulary mastery significantly improved. The improvement can be proven through the average pre-test score of 57.03 to the average post-test score of 77.34. In terms of the implementation, the usage of appropriate learning media, and student enthusiasm during the learning process are the reasons for the improvement of their vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Discovery learning is considered an effective educational method that can engage students and enhance their reading and writing skills. This method encourages students to develop a greater interest in reading and provides ample opportunities for practicing writing exercises. The discovery learning approach engages students by offering them relevant material to use in their writing, thus making the learning process more interactive and meaningful. This study aims to explore several key aspects of the discovery learning method. First, it examines the influence of discovery learning methods compared to conventional learning models on students' writing skills. Second, it investigates the effect of the discovery learning method on writing skills specifically for students with high reading interest. Third, it looks into the impact of the discovery learning method on students with low reading interest. Lastly, the study aims to understand the interaction between the discovery learning method and students' reading interest in enhancing writing skills. The research was conducted as a quasi-experiment, utilizing a purposive sampling technique to select participants. The samples included students from class XI TPB and XI TPE. The findings of the research revealed that the explanatory writing skills of students taught using the discovery learning method were significantly higher than those of students taught using conventional models, regardless of their level of reading interest. Furthermore, the study identified an interaction between the discovery learning method and reading interest, indicating that this method is particularly effective in improving explanatory text writing skills among students with varying levels of reading interest.

Abstract

The South African Language in Education Policy stipulates that African languages shall be employed as languages of learning and teaching in South African schools, at least from Grades 1 to 3. After that, there must be a switch to an additional language - in most cases, English first additional language (EFAL), as is the case with most schools in Matatiele, Alfred Nzo West District, South Africa. The topicality of this transition has led to this study, which explores the experiences of Grade 4 EFAL teachers and learners in Alfred Nzo West District transitioning from isiXhosa to EFAL as a medium of instruction in Grade 4. Data for the study was collected from participants drawn from a school in the rural Eastern Cape Province, Alfred Nzo West District. The sample comprised two Grade 4 EFAL teachers and ten learners. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews and observations while reading English texts. The findings revealed that the learners struggle to read because they were accustomed to using their home language, isiXhosa, in Grades 1-3. Now, they are using English as their Language of Teaching and Learning (LoTl), a language hardly spoken outside of the classroom. Besides, the findings showed that learners who were doing English home language in their previous schools, Grades 1-3, did not battle much with Grade 4 EFAL, since they relied on their prior linguistic knowledge accrued in these grades. To overcome Grade 4 EFAL learners’ barriers to reading, the teachers rely on parental involvement, phonics, collaborative learning and learners’ prior linguistic background. The study is important in underscoring the need to give Grade 4 EFAL learners age-appropriate reading materials because their comprehension is naturally developed as they acquire new vocabulary, and learners are cognitively engaged in less challenging texts.

Abstract

Different instruments for language vitality are used to determine language status. However, doing so raises problems regarding the correctness of an instrument, especially in terms of differences in instruments among qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. This aspect exerts an impact on differences in the svariables of respondent criteria, data collection techniques, and the categorization of results. Moreover, a few of these instruments cannot necessarily be applied to all languages in Indonesia due to complex conditions. Moreover, this research is novel because it is the first to discuss linguistic theory using a philosophical approach, especially falsification approach. This aims to test validity of language vitality instruments. Furthermore, it attempts to identify instruments that can be applied to languages in Indonesia. The reason is that Indonesia features many local languages, which leads to complex linguistic situations and conditions. This research uses a descriptive qualitative methods. Research techniques use data taken from previous studies and observations. Data analysis uses Popper’s falsification theory. The result indicated that language vitality instruments require several new alternative theories to address the complex linguistic conditions in Indonesia. The principle of falsification can add truth value in determining language status, such that it can be accepted for all languages in Indonesia. However, the falsification is still required for minority languages and strengthens the truth value of languages that are extinct. This notion exerts a contribution on the deepening of language policy in Indonesia, such that all languages can undergo language vitality testing according to the characteristics of their languages.
