Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Kahoot as a learning medium for English grammar instruction. With the increasing integration of technology in education, gamified learning platforms like Kahoot have gained popularity for enhancing student engagement and motivation. However, its effectiveness in improving grammar comprehension remains to be thoroughly examined. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre-test and post-test results with qualitative feedback from student surveys and teacher observations. The participants consisted of secondary school students (or university students, depending on your research sample) who used Kahoot for grammar exercises over a specified period. The findings indicate whether Kahoot significantly improves grammar mastery, student participation, and learning motivation compared to traditional methods. The results also highlight challenges, such as technical issues and varying student proficiency levels, that may affect its implementation. This study provides valuable insights for educators considering Kahoot as a supplementary tool for grammar instruction and suggests recommendations for optimizing its use in the classroom.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores how Indonesian vocational school teachers integrate digital technology into English language teaching (ELT) and whether such practices align with the Global Englishes (GE) paradigm. Framed by Global Englishes theory, language ideology, and Technology-Enhanced Language Learning, the research addresses two core questions: (1) How is technology currently integrated into English teaching in vocational schools? and (2) What are the benefits and challenges faced by teachers in using technology to support the GE paradigm? .Data from interviews with four teachers in Jember, East Java, reveal that while tools like YouTube, WhatsApp, and Canva are widely used, their application tends to reinforce traditional norms rather than expose students to diverse English varieties. Challenges include exam-focused curricula, limited training, and native-speaker biases. The study proposes the Techno-Pedagogical Global Englishes (TPGE) framework to analyze how technology can both support and constrain GE-based pedagogy. Findings highlight the need for reflective teacher training and curricular reform to promote more inclusive, real-world English learning.

Abstract

Film, in its narrowest definition, refers to the presentation of images on a large screen; however, in a broader context, it may also encompass those broadcast on television. As a mass medium, film is a complex form of audiovisual art. This study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to explore the symbolic significance of the jasmine ronce necklace in Ryan Adriandy's film "Jumbo." The analysis is conducted through two levels: denotation and connotation, along with the concept of myth. The jasmine ronce necklace is interpreted not merely as a physical object but as a cultural and ideological signifier. Findings from this study reveal that the jasmine ronce necklace embodies spiritual meaning, the sanctity of love, and emotional depth, which together construct cultural myths within the Indonesian context.
