Abstract

This study investigates the use of digital applications by English teachers to provide feedback on students' written work. The research was conducted at Sunan Ampel State Islamic University in Surabaya, Indonesia. The participants were one English lecturer from the Written English A class in the 2023-2024 academic year, as well as 3rd-semester students enrolled in the class. Data was collected through interviews with the lecturer and analysis of students' written assignments that received online corrective feedback. The findings reveal that the lecturer utilized a variety of digital tools, including Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Turnitin, to deliver feedback on students' writing. The analysis indicates that direct feedback was the most common type used, while indirect and metalinguistic feedback were employed less frequently. The digital applications facilitated the feedback process by enabling the lecturer to provide more detailed, personalized, and multi-modal feedback to support the improvement of students' writing skills. This study contributes to the understanding of how English teachers leverage technology to enhance the feedback practices in the writing classroom. The results suggest that strategic integration of digital tools can significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of feedback delivered to students on their written work

Abstract

Recent years have seen a considerable change within the educational environment, this is partly down to innovation in technology and teaching methods. Game-based learning (GBL) is one of the well-known approaches to include game elements in instructional processes to enhance student engagement and learning results. Based on the background above, this study focuses on investigating the advantages and disadvantages of GBL in teaching new vocabulary for seventh grade students at class VII-A of SMPN 25 Surabaya. The researcher conducted a qualitative descriptive study using an open-ended questionnaire to six students in the class for data collection to describe their perspectives. According to the results of the study, GBL provided an exciting and interesting atmosphere that gave rise to students' interest in learning English which referred to attention and comprehension. The investigation in question identified a number of problems, most notably those that pertained to technology limitations, for example device accessibility and internet connection issues, which can hinder the effectiveness of the GBL approach in the classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the compatibility between Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and the traditional learning values embedded within Indonesian pesantren, particularly in the context of English language instruction. While CLT emphasizes communicative competence, learner autonomy, authentic interaction, and meaningful use of language, pesantren education is grounded in values such as discipline, obedience, communal learning, and character formation. These contrasting orientations raise questions about whether CLT can be effectively integrated into pesantren classrooms or whether fundamental pedagogical tensions may arise. Drawing on existing literature on CLT implementation in EFL contexts and studies on pesantren learning culture, this conceptual inquiry examines points of convergence and divergence between the two educational paradigms. Findings indicate several areas of compatibility: both CLT and pesantren prioritize collaborative learning, contextualized meaning-making, and the development of communicative ethics. pesantren traditions such as musya>warah (deliberation) and halaqah (discussion circles) naturally support interactive and cooperative learning, which align with core CLT principles. However, challenges emerge in relation to learner autonomy, teacher, student power relations, and the shift from teacher-centered instruction to student-centered practices. The study argues that with culturally responsive adaptation, such as integrating pesantren-based group practices into communicative activities and reframing autonomy within Islamic educational values, CLT can be harmonized with pesantren learning traditions. Ultimately, the study proposes a hybrid pedagogical model that maintains pesantren identity while enabling communicative English learning, offering implications for curriculum developers, English teachers, and Islamic educational institutions seeking to enhance communicative competence without compromising religious and cultural foundations.

Abstract

This study explores elementary school students’ experiences and perceptions of using Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) through the Quizlet application in learning English vocabulary as a foreign language. A qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of how students experience and interpret the use of mobile applications in vocabulary learning. The participants consisted of 25 fourth-grade students from an elementary school in Mandailing Natal, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with students, teachers, and parents, as well as documentation analysis of students’ activities on the Quizlet application. By focusing on elementary EFL learners in a rural Indonesian context, this study provides a contextualized perspective on MALL implementation at the primary education level, which has received limited attention in previous research. The phenomenological approach highlights how pedagogical practices and sociocultural conditions mediate young learners’ engagement with mobile technology. The findings reveal that the use of Quizlet offered positive learning experiences for elementary students. Interactive features such as digital flashcards, matching games, and immediate feedback enhanced students’ motivation and engagement in learning English vocabulary. Repeated exposure supported by visual and audio elements helped learners understand and retain n tp ew words more effectively. However, students continued to experience difficulties in productive aspects of vocabulary, particularly spelling and pronunciation, and encountered challenges related to limited internet access and shared device use. The study suggests that Quizlet can support vocabulary learning for primary EFL learners when it is pedagogically integrated with teacher guidance and adequate learning support.

Abstract

EFL students' communication ability is still far behind expectations due to their poor readiness to talk. It is unrealistic to expect students who are reluctant to speak in English to improve their communication abilities. The current study is undertaken to analyze the variables effect Indonesian EFL learners’ WTC in English class at secondary school and the teaching techniques may be utilized to encourage Indonesian EFL learners’ WTC in English class at secondary school. The current study offers a thorough literature evaluation of WTC research within the specific domain of EFL learners’ of secondary school in Indonesia. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) guidelines were used in this review research to examine publications from Google Scholar. The papers included are 6 recognized journal articles identified in google scholar throughout the timeframe 2020 - 2024. The results shown that a number of variables, divided into situational and individual aspects, influence EFL learners' WTC. However, the tactics that EFL teachers might employ are: arranging the students’ chairs in a U shape, practicing Out-of-class English communications, using technology in language learning, and following conversation club. It is anticipated that teachers would use a variety of strategies to encourage more student participation throughout the class after identifying the contributing elements.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of student-authored publications as an innovative pedagogical strategy within Language Learning Assessment (LLA) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) courses. Based on the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework and the MBKM (Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka) policy, this approach leverages student-authored publications as a means to deliver a more active, authentic, and performance-oriented learning experience. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method involving nine pre-service teachers. Data were collected through 16 weeks of classroom observations, a thematic analysis of 18 student-authored book chapters, and semi-structured interviews with two participants. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicate that the publication project positively contributed to the achievement of Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). This activity encouraged students to shift from simply understanding the material to actively synthesizing and constructing knowledge. In addition to improving academic achievement, the publication process also helped students establish their identities as pre-service teachers and scholars, strengthening their academic agency. However, students still face several challenges, particularly related to the high cognitive load and difficulty managing their time during the MBKM program. This project demonstrates strong alignment with the Impactful Campus spirit through its tangible contributions to society. Student-developed assessment resources were successfully utilized by partner schools, providing direct benefits to teaching practices. The study concludes that student-authored publications can serve as pedagogical bridges that meaningfully connect theory, practice, and reflection, provided they are supported by an adequate institutional framework.

Abstract

Reading motivation plays a crucial role in fostering students’ engagement and achievement in reading activities. With the increasing integration of digital technologies in education, various digital literacy media, such as reading applications and interactive e-books, have been introduced to support students’ reading experiences. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using the Let’s Read application and interactive flipbooks as digital literacy media on students’ reading motivation in English reading classes. A quasi-experimental posttest-only design was employed involving 100 tenth-grade students. The participants were divided into three groups: a Let’s Read group (n = 34), an interactive flipbook group (n = 31), and a printed book group (n = 35). Data were collected using a reading motivation questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed that the Let’s Read group obtained the highest mean score (M = 58.26, SD = 5.50), followed by the interactive flipbook group (M = 57.97, SD = 5.23) and the printed book group (M = 57.06, SD = 6.15). However, the ANOVA results indicated no statistically significant difference in reading motivation among the three groups, F(2, 97) = 0.427, p = .654. These findings suggest that although digital literacy media offer interactive and engaging reading experiences, they did not significantly outperform printed books in enhancing students’ reading motivation. The study highlights that factors beyond the reading medium itself may play a more important role in shaping students’ motivation to read.

Abstract

Digital comics can be considered as learning media that can attract students' attention and communicate educational information effectively in. However, little research discusses digital comics about Indonesian traditional culinary. Therefore, this research aims to create an Indonesian traditional culinary digital comic using Pixton to teach procedure texts. This research adopted the Research and Development (R&D) approach with the development model of Plomp, which comprises three phases: preliminary research, prototyping, and assessment. Validation of the developed media was done with the help of media experts, a content expert, and an English teacher. The practicability of the media was tested by collecting the responses from the students. The results revealed that the developed media received a score of 86% of validity, meaning that the media is highly valid, and the responses of the students were 84%, meaning that the media is highly practical for classroom practice. Therefore, the developed digital comic is recommended as an alternative learning medium for teaching procedure texts.
