Abstract

This study explores English teachers’ perspectives on the use of Wordwall as a digital assessment tool in junior high school English classrooms. Amid the growing integration of educational technology, Wordwall has gained popularity for its interactive and game-based assessment features. While previous studies have examined its instructional functions, limited attention has been given to how teachers perceive its use as a formative or summative assessment instrument, particularly in rural educational contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved semi-structured interviews with two English teachers from SMPN 1 Tinondo, a rural school in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework, focusing on patterns in teacher beliefs, experiences, and evaluative judgments of Wordwall’s functionality. The findings revealed that teachers perceive Wordwall positively due to its ability to enhance student engagement, streamline assessment, and deliver immediate feedback. Teachers also noted its alignment with curriculum standards and its potential to support student-centered evaluation. However, the study also highlighted contextual factors that shape these perceptions, including access to digital infrastructure and prior digital literacy. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on digital assessment by offering insights into teacher agency, perception formation, and the pedagogical relevance of gamified tools. It also emphasizes the importance of contextualizing digital tool adoption within rural educational environments. The findings hold implications for policymakers, teacher training programs, and future research on localized technology integration.

Abstract

Indonesia's evolving education system, marked by curriculum reforms like the Merdeka Curriculum, aims to foster student potential by embracing flexibility and diversity. Aligned with national education goals and pedagogical theories, differentiated instruction plays a crucial role in addressing students' unique needs, ensuring a more inclusive and effective learning experience. This study examines (1) the strategies used by an English teacher in implementing differentiated instruction as well as (2) students' perceptions toward the implementation of differentiated instruction at SMAN 1 Balaesang in Donggala regency. Employing a mixed-method research design, the researcher used purposive sampling to select a tenth-grade English teacher and 31 students taught by this teacher as participants. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using a descriptive approach. The findings revealed that the teachers’ strategies focused on three key stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, diagnostic tests and curriculum analysis were conducted to tailor instruction. During implementation, differentiation was applied to content, process, and product to meet students' diverse needs. Lastly, evaluation involved observations and assessments to monitor student progress and effectiveness of instruction. Additionally, the study found that 77.42% of students had a positive perception of differentiated instruction in learning English. A variety of teaching approaches, student choice, and adaptive strategies contributed to increased engagement. To effectively meet students’ needs, teachers continuously refine differentiated instruction by integrating diverse activities, utilizing technology, and personalizing assessments.

Abstract

The advancement of learning in the 21st century is closely tied to various information technology tools. Consequently, educators must enhance their ICT skills to improve both teaching effectiveness and student academic performance. This study has two main objectives: (1) to examine how TPACK is implemented in the teaching and learning process, and (2) to identify the challenges English teachers face when applying the TPACK framework in their instruction. A qualitative research approach was used, incorporating observations and interviews as data collection methods. The study focused on an English teacher and students from Class XI MIPA 2 at Senior High School 13 Makassar. The TPACK knowledge of the English teacher is reflected in how effectively technology aligns with pedagogical strategies and subject knowledge. By integrating technology, the teacher can apply diverse instructional strategies across different learning environments, following the Merdeka Curriculum. This approach allows students to learn at their own pace and according to their individual preferences. To facilitate teaching and assessment, the English teacher used Quizizz and Google Classroom for managing assignments and providing timely feedback. However, inconsistent network connectivity significantly impacted student engagement and learning equity. Since TPACK-based instruction relies heavily on online resources, limited internet access became a major obstacle. Additionally, web-based platforms and multimedia materials require a stable internet connection for effective classroom integration. Interruptions in connectivity disrupted activities such as live quizzes, direct assessments, and online group projects, which are essential for helping students master complex English concepts. To address these challenges, institutions must invest in technological infrastructure and provide teachers with the necessary support and training to effectively adapt to various situations and ensure the successful implementation of TPACK in English education. Keywords: TPACK, High School, English language

Abstract

eleventh-grade students at SMKS YPPP Wonomulyo during the 2024/2025 academic year. In addition, it sought to examine students' perceptions regarding the effectiveness of digital reading platforms in supporting the development of their comprehension abilities. A quantitative research method was adopted, utilizing a quasi-experimental design to assess the impact of the intervention. The population consisted of second-grade students majoring in Computer and Network Technology, drawn from five available classes. Using a cluster random sampling technique, two classes were selected, one designated as the experimental group and the other as the control group, with each consisting of 32 students. The experimental group received instruction using the ReadWorks platform, while the control group continued with conventional reading materials.Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 10 items that measured students’ perceptions and experiences related to the use of ReadWorks. The results indicated that students exhibited a generally positive attitude toward the digital platform, with an overall mean score of 42.7, indicating a very positive perception. Most respondents emphasized the benefits of multimedia features, notably the vocabulary support tools and audio functionalities, which aided in their understanding of more complex texts. Students reported that these features made reading activities more engaging, accessible, and less intimidating, ultimately improving their comprehension outcomes. These results suggest that the use of technology-enhanced reading platforms should be encouraged as a means of supporting students' academic success in reading Keywords: Digital Reading Platforms, ReadWorks, Reading Comprehension, Students’ Perceptions, EFL Classroom.
