Abstract

Digital learning has become a potential learning tool since the COVID pandemic which causes the use of new technologies including digital games-based language learning. However, the implementation still has challenges due to technical, instructional, and financial barriers. Previous studies suggest exploring more teaching experiences related to the use of digital games-based language learning for future contributions. This study aims to explore the implementation of digital games-based language learning in higher education. To achieve this goal, this study was conducted in an Indonesian higher education, the State University of Makassar by applying a qualitative case study to collect data. The researcher collected the data from 2 lecturers recruited using a convenient sampling technique. The thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data. This study explores teacher experiences in using digital games-based language learning in a speaking classroom. This study found that the lecturers plan, implement, and evaluate digital games-based language learning in three categories namely well, moderate, and low implemented. From this result, it is claimed academically that digital games-based language learning (DGBLL) can be planned, implemented, and evaluated strategically in speaking classrooms based on learning objectives, learning outcomes, and students' learning needs. Combining technology with game-based learning, education can be more dynamic and relevant, accommodating a variety of learning styles and motivating students to be more actively involved in the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation abilities of English Education students, specifically the 2022 cohort at the English Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Papua. Conducted in March 2024, this research adopts a quantitative method, utilizing a translation shift approach to analyze the collected data. The study's sample consisted of 20 purposively selected students from the 2022 batch (Arikunto, 1993). A translation test was employed as the primary data collection instrument, focusing on simple phrases and sentences. The collected quantitative data were analyzed to evaluate students' translation skills and determine the frequency of applied translation shifts. The findings reveal that students predominantly utilized translation shifts in their translations, with the most frequent being structure shifts and unit shifts. These shifts highlight the students' preference for adapting grammatical structures and linguistic units to achieve equivalence between the source and target languages. Moreover, out of six recognized types of translation shifts, the students successfully demonstrated competence in four, reflecting their ability to handle a range of translation challenges based on the provided test items.

Abstract

Intercultural competence is an essential skill for students in today’s globalized educational landscape, particularly in English language learning contexts. This study investigates students’ intercultural competence, focusing on their ability to adapt and communicate effectively across diverse cultural boundaries. Employing a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 53 university students engaged in English language programs. Findings reveal varying levels of competence: while 35.8% of participants reported ease in adapting to cultural differences, nearly half (49.1%) expressed neutrality, indicating limited confidence or experience. Challenges such as language barriers (62.3%) and unfamiliarity with social customs (20.8%) were identified as significant obstacles. Despite these challenges, students participating in cultural exchange programs or engaging with diverse peers demonstrated enhanced competence, gaining enriched perspectives, improved communication skills, and stronger social bonds. Positive experiences included language acquisition, cultural understanding, and mutual respect. To address gaps, the study recommends integrating intercultural communication training, cultural awareness workshops, and experiential learning programs into curricula. Additionally, fostering supportive environments through mentorship and safe spaces for dialogue is essential. These interventions aim to empower students, equipping them for effective communication and collaboration in multicultural academic and professional settings.

Abstract

This article examines the social criticism expressed in two literary works: Laskar Pelangi by Andrea Hirata and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Using a descriptive qualitative method and an objective approach, the study focuses on analyzing intrinsic elements such as themes, characters, and conflicts within the texts. Laskar Pelangi portrays the social realities in Belitung, Indonesia, highlighting issues such as social inequality and limited access to education while delivering a message of hope and perseverance through the struggles of underprivileged children. In contrast, The Grapes of Wrath captures the hardships faced by migrant farmworker families in the United States during the Great Depression, emphasizing labor exploitation and the importance of social unity. Although the two works emerge from different cultural and historical backgrounds, they converge on the themes of social injustice and the pursuit of societal transformation. The findings demonstrate that literature serves as a powerful medium for articulating social critique and fostering awareness of significant societal issues. This analysis reinforces the role of literary works in illuminating social realities and inspiring critical reflection among readers. The research employs an objective study method to ensure an impartial evaluation of the texts' intrinsic elements.

Abstract

This study investigates the importance of English language learning in Indonesia, particularly focusing on reading comprehension among students at Kakaskasen Christian Junior High School. As English has become a global lingua franca, mastering it is essential for students to enhance their communication skills and improve their employability in an increasingly interconnected world. However, many students struggle with reading comprehension, as evidenced by assessments showing that only 7 out of 25 students met the minimum required score. The challenges identified include limited vocabulary, lack of engagement with reading materials, and ineffective teaching methods. To address these issues, the research advocates for the implementation of cooperative learning strategies, specifically the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model. This approach encourages collaboration among students and fosters an interactive learning environment that can enhance their reading skills. The findings suggest that employing cooperative learning techniques can significantly boost student motivation and performance in reading comprehension, ultimately preparing them for future academic and career opportunities while promoting a deeper understanding of cultural diversity through language learning.

Abstract

One aspect of English that is difficult for students to master is writing, because it requires the right method/technique in teaching after the pandemic. For this reason, this research was appointed, with the aim at knowing whether the TBLT method has an impact on the students' English learning process, especially for their writing skill. This research was conducted in class VIII of junior high school students, because this is an experimental study, a pre-experimental design is used with the type of one-group pre-test and post-test. In addition, in assessing the writing of students, this study adapts the writing rubric of (Brown, 2007). The results showed that TBLT has a very significant effect on students' writing, this can be seen in the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test. However, considering also the situation of students at the time of the study, it is hoped that further researchers or readers can examine more deeply about the learning losses found in this study or can use the results of the research as a starting point for learning problems during the new normal.

Abstract

This research explored the impact of Video-Based Learning (VBL) and Web-Based Learning (WBL) on enhancing the understanding of conditional sentences (Types 1, 2, and 3) among Grade 10 students at SMA UNKLAB Airmadidi. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 60 students were assigned to two groups: one received instruction via VBL, while the other was taught using WBL. Pre-test and post-test results were examined using IBM SPSS Version 26, with both paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests applied. The paired-sample t-test indicated notable improvement in both groups. The average score for the VBL group rose from 33.60 to 77.87, and for the WBL group from 33.20 to 59.73. The independent-sample t-test yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, signifying a statistically significant difference between the groups. While both approaches were effective, VBL demonstrated a more substantial effect on students' grammar proficiency. Additionally, analysis showed no significant difference in performance based on gender, suggesting that both teaching methods were equally effective for male and female students. Overall, the findings underscore the advantages of incorporating digital media in grammar instruction, with VBL particularly enhancing student engagement and understanding of complex grammar topics. This study affirms the value of multimedia in English teaching and highlights the potential of visual and interactive content to boost learner motivation and success.
