Abstract

This narrative review investigates the benefits of pair work activities in EFL speaking classes. The data for this study were drawn from 25 selected articles published between 2013 and 2023. The research explores four main themes related to pair work in EFL speaking: language development through practice, social and emotional support in learning environments, active engagement and participative learning, and effective pedagogical strategies. The conclusions drawn from the 25 articles reveal several benefits of pair work activities, including language development through practice (enhancing speaking proficiency and facilitating vocabulary acquisition), social and emotional support in learning environments (encouraging peer feedback, creating a supportive learning environment, reducing anxiety, and increasing confidence), active engagement and participative learning (promoting active student engagement and increasing participative learning), and effective pedagogical strategies (the teacher's role in enhancing pair work effectiveness and effective task structuring). The research suggests that integrating pair work activities into EFL speaking instruction can significantly improve language learning outcomes. Furthermore, EFL teachers can effectively utilize pair work to enhance students' speaking abilities, boost their confidence, and improve overall language proficiency. Keywords: benefits of pair work; collaborative learning; EFL speaking; language development.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of English teachers' professionalism in integrating interactive media in learning and to identify the factors that influence its implementation in schools. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving a sample of 50 English teachers from various education levels. The research instrument consisted of a Likert-scale questionnaire that measured aspects of teacher professionalism, frequency of interactive media use, and supporting or inhibiting factors. The results showed that the overall mean score for teacher professionalism was 3.65 with a standard deviation of 0.90. The highest score was found in the student engagement indicator (mean = 3.80; SD = 0.97), and the lowest was in the frequency of media use (mean = 3.42; SD = 0.86). Regarding factors influencing media use, the highest mean scores were in perceived learning effectiveness (mean = 4.28; SD = 0.78), student interest (mean = 4.24; SD = 0.87), and teachers' motivation for self-development (mean = 4.20; SD = 0.95). Meanwhile, training support from schools showed the lowest score (mean = 3.98; SD = 1.06), indicating the need for stronger institutional support. In conclusion, while teachers show a positive attitude toward interactive media, its optimal integration is still limited by training, facilities, and time management constraints.‎   Keywords:‎ Teacher Professionalism, Interactive Media, English Language Learning

Abstract

This paper reveals the main problem regarding the author's efforts in presenting the reversal of the hierarchy of the character Danaraja who experiences defeat in the short story "Kembang Dewaretna". To answer this problem, this study uses Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory. Deconstruction is a theory in literary research that rejects the view that language has a definite, certain, and constant meaning as in the classical structuralist view. This rejection occurs because of the separation of space between the signifier and the signified which is considered absolute in the form of traces behind the traces. The method used in this study is deconstruction. This method explains that deconstructing a discourse or literary text shows the collapse of the underlying philosophy or is in hierarchical opposition (binary opposition) to something that is its basis through the identification of operational forms of rhetoric in the text. The results of the study reveal that deconstruction in the short story "Kembang Dewaratna" is a reversal of the hierarchy between the characters Rahwana and Danaraja. The character Rahwana is always narrated as the winner in every battle, while Danaraja is a character who always experiences defeat. In the short story "Kembang Dewaretna", the reversal of the hierarchy is shown by showing the victory of the figure of Danaraja in the fight against Rahwana. Thus, it is concluded that the form of Danaraja's victory is a deconstruction of the elimination of the figure of Rahwana as the center who always appears with his victory.

Abstract

In Indonesia, even though it has not yet widely used, computer starts to be an alternative tool in ‎teaching activity. By using technology, it is hoped could create more effective pedagogical ‎environment. Therefore, this study examined the use of e-learning platform, namely Blendspace, ‎Socrative, and Padlet in teaching Reading for L2 in Budi Mulia Dua Senior High School. These three ‎platforms are friendly users’ application available online. The aim of the research was to explore ‎the scope of these platforms in facilitating students learning English. Thus, mixed method was used ‎as research methodology. It is used action research as qualitative approach and experimental ‎research as quantitative approach. The findings show that the platforms enhance students’ ‎motivation and curiosity of learning English. It is counted by using Socrative there were 72.0% of ‎students in Advance Class get the good score, while for Low Level Class, it was only 46.2%. At the ‎same time, Blendspace creates effective learning process. Blended learning happens in this activity ‎because students could independently look back the lesson outside of the class. Salient way arises ‎as the implication of teacher materials on Blendspace. Another salient concept and dynamic ‎communication was occurred in Padlet. The results also point out that, even though there are some ‎drawbacks such as bad Wi-Fi connection and distraction to open others website, the benefit of the ‎platforms in the form of direct evaluation and live interaction create an enjoyable atmosphere at ‎class.‎

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of EFL students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in grammar learning after being taught using Quizizz, a digital game-based learning platform. The research employed a quantitative approach with a posttest-only quasi-experimental design. The participants were 60 eighth-grade students from MTs DDI Baru, divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving grammar instruction through Quizizz and a control group taught using conventional methods. A validated motivation questionnaire based on Self-Determination Theory was administered to both groups after the treatment. The results revealed that students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation compared to the control group. These findings suggest that integrating Quizizz into grammar instruction can enhance students’ motivation by providing an interactive, engaging, and learner-centered learning environment. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on gamified learning in EFL contexts, particularly in the affective domain. Recommendations for future research include exploring long-term motivational impacts and comparing various digital learning platforms.
