Abstract

Student-centered learning has become a prominent focus in modern education, encouraging approaches that promote learners’ active participation and emotional engagement. Mindful learning, which emphasizes awareness, reflection, and present-moment focus, has been shown to support these goals. However, few studies have explored how it is practically implemented in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. This study aims to investigate the implementation of mindful learning strategies in English Language Teaching (ELT) and their impact on student motivation and engagement. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved one English teacher and 30 eighth-grade students at MTS Muslimin Indonesia Center Samarinda. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and pre- and post-intervention student motivation and engagement questionnaires. The observation results revealed that teachers had begun to apply mindful learning principles such as focused attention and reflection, although not yet in a systematic manner. Major challenges faced by teachers included time constraints, lack of formal training, and initial resistance from students. Quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in student motivation and engagement scores following the implementation of mindful learning strategies. These findings support the application of mindful approaches in ELT and highlight their benefits for enhancing students’ learning experiences. The study also emphasizes the need for institutional support and structured teacher training to ensure more effective implementation of this approach.

Abstract

Many approaches can be employed in vocabulary teaching and learning. One of these approaches is gamification. The goals of the study are to see if gamification approach through wordwall.nets’ utilization can increase students' vocabulary mastery and to pinpoint the word category that demonstrates the most progress. Using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model, this study assesses if word wall media can deepen students' vocabulary proficiency, and also investigates which category of content words exhibits the most gains after the platform is implemented. The population in this study are eighth-grade students from MTs Negeri 2 Palu, sampled VIII D class, and the sample was chosen using purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the paired sample t-test. Data analysis reveals a clear distinction between the students' pre-test and post-test outcomes. The average of students’ results on the pre-test rises from 36.04 to 52.2 on the post test. The paired sample t-test demonstrates a statistically significant increase in the pre-test and post-test scores (Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000). This supports the alternative research hypothesis (Ha). Indicating wordwall.net is a useful tool for enhancing the vocabulary skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Palu. The findings also confirms adjective as the content word that has impressive progress after the platforms’ application.

Abstract

This study investigates the specific needs of beginner-level students engaged in English debate activities within the Language Area program at an Islamic boarding school in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Recognizing the increasing role of debate as a pedagogical strategy in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, the research aims to explore linguistic, emotional, and cultural needs that are often overlooked in generic debate materials. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, using open-ended questionnaires distributed to 60 English Club members and semi-structured interviews were done to one debate coach, and one student as a delegation. Thematic analysis revealed that students not only seek to improve their speaking skills, but also desire confidence, logical argumentation, and culturally relevant content. Participants emphasized the importance of structured guidance, beginner-friendly materials, and emotional support to overcome anxiety and build motivation. The findings confirm the value of debate in fostering speaking fluency, critical thinking, and collaboration, particularly when activities are adapted to the pesantren context. The study highlights a strong demand for a tailored debate handbook that aligns with students’ religious, social, and educational environments. This research contributes to the growing field of learner-cantered EFL materials design and offers practical implications for integrating culturally sensitive debate instruction in Islamic boarding schools.
