<![CDATA[The case of the Covid-19 pandemic led to a government policy to enforce online learning with distance learning and blended learning models. Lecturers are required to present learning innovations using these two models to continue to achieve maximum learning outcomes and student learning outcomes. It is through the implementation of distance learning that students can study anywhere. The blended learning model is innovative and collaborates offline/face-to-face lectures with online lectures. With the implementation of this online learning system, both distance learning and blended learning have differences in student learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the differences in student learning outcomes using distance learning and blended learning models regarding cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. The research method used in this study is quantitative, with a research design using a comparative test to compare learning outcomes between two groups with different treatments. One group uses distance learning, and one group uses blended learning. The data analysis technique used to answer the hypothesis of this research is a statistic with different/comparative test, the t-test with statistical test Kolmogorov Test and Shapiro-Wilks Test to determine normality test and homogeneity test, and a nonparametric test using the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed no significant difference in cognitive, affective (activeness), and psychomotor learning achievement between students who learned to use the distance learning and blended learning models. Significant differences in learning achievement only occur in the affective aspect, particularly in student discipline in learning. Students who learn to use blended learning have better discipline than those who use distance learning.]]>

Among the texts in EN for grade seven, the researcher took 18 texts and analyzed them using the measurement formula in the tools above. The study found that the readability level was high, and the texts were easy to read. The limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were also discussed.]]>

<![CDATA[This descriptive qualitative study aimed to explore student engagement and student responses towards using Telegram in the ESP classroom. The participants consisted of 66 students from a private university in Indonesia. They were selected using a purposive sampling method. This study was conducted in a fully online mode class. This study also identified various ways in which assignments and student-to-student/teacher-student relationships in online learning environments can trigger student responses. An observation checklist and an interview guideline were used in data collection, and the theory of student engagement as a controlled action was employed in data analysis. The teaching practice of using Telegram in online classes seems to trigger various constructive responses and lively discussions.

This study shows that the use of Telegram in ESP classrooms contributes to a significant increase in students’ engagement, interaction, motivation, and collaboration online. Despite its limitations, Telegram has proven its benefits to be used for improving students' interaction and engagement during language learning. Language learning is more enjoyable for both the students and teachers by incorporating Telegram in the ESP classrooms.
