Abstract

The integration of Information Technology (IT) into language instruction has transformed traditional teaching methodologies by providing learners with more interactive, personalized, and accessible learning experiences. This study examines the impact of IT tools, such as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), on language acquisition, learner engagement, and motivation. A systematic review of 25 studies published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted to explore the use of these tools in language education. The findings suggest that IT-based tools significantly enhance learners' vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and speaking proficiency. Mobile applications and online platforms foster greater learner engagement through gamification, immediate feedback, and self-paced learning opportunities. However, the study also highlights challenges such as technological limitations, the need for instructor training, and concerns about over-reliance on digital tools. While IT tools provide valuable support in language learning, a balanced approach that combines traditional methods with technology is recommended to optimize educational outcomes. These findings contribute to understanding the potential of IT in language instruction and suggest directions for future research on improving the integration of technology in educational contexts.

Abstract

Listening skills are a fundamental component of language proficiency, particularly in higher education where critical listening plays a central role. However, these skills are often underemphasized in traditional teaching contexts, prompting educators to adopt innovative digital platforms. This study explores the implementation of Discord in a hybrid critical listening course conducted throughout a semester within the International Class Program at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University of Malang. Grounded in the Integrative Listening Model, the research employed a descriptive qualitative design, utilizing classroom observation checklists, field notes, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 40 students. The findings indicate that at the comprehension level, the structured and timely distribution of materials through Discord channels enhanced student readiness and engagement. At the interpretation level, features such as video conferencing, breakout rooms, and audiovisual resources facilitated deeper understanding, allowing students to make inferences more effectively. At the evaluation level, real-time interaction and feedback during discussions supported critical analysis of content. Notably, student performance showed observable improvements in critical listening tasks, as reflected in increased participation rates and higher quality of responses in listening assessments. Despite occasional technical issues like unstable internet connections. The hybrid model which integrated synchronous and asynchronous learning, proved adaptable and effective. The study concludes that Discord, when aligned with a well-structured instructional design and supported by the Integrative Listening Model, can significantly promote critical listening competence in higher education. Future research may examine comparative effectiveness across different digital platforms and explore long-term impacts on listening proficiency development.

Abstract

In today's education landscape, many educators still struggle with utilizing technology, and educators are required to be digitally literate to use technology effectively. One innovative teaching method that can promote digital literacy is digital storytelling. This study employs narrative inquiry to investigate the challenges and solutions of Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers when designing digital storytelling projects to promote digital literacy. Thirty-six Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers participated in the study, with data collected through narrative frames, interviews, and artifacts in the form of digital stories. This study used thematic analysis and revealed that most participants encountered difficulties crafting engaging story plots, time limitations, and integrating media components such as images and sound effects. There were four challenges found in this study including access to technological resources, collaborative discussions, and learning new skills. This study implies that students and teachers need to understand the technology and that technological proficiency and collaborative learning are important in overcoming obstacles in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the process of teaching and learning English listening using English movies, identify the challenges encountered by both teachers and students, and determine whether movies can enhance students’ listening skills. This mixed-method research was conducted at Junior High School Tasikmalaya and involved 25 ninth-grade students and one English teacher. Data were collected through document analysis, classroom observations, questionnaires, interviews, and pretest-posttest assessments. The intervention was implemented over four weeks and consisted of three instructional meetings. The findings revealed that the teacher followed the Merdeka Curriculum format and delivered listening instruction in three structured stages: pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening. Students faced several challenges, including unfamiliar vocabulary, rapid speech, listening anxiety, limited contextual understanding, passive viewing, and minimal exposure to authentic English outside the classroom. The teacher also experienced difficulties related to students' varying proficiency levels, technical and equipment issues, material selection, classroom management, and institutional constraints. The quantitative results indicated a significant improvement in students’ listening skills, with the mean pretest score increasing from 74.24 to 85.00 in the posttest. A paired sample t-test confirmed that this improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.001), demonstrating the effectiveness of English movies in enhancing listening comprehension in the EFL classroom.

A quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental approach was used. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test assessments, with a population of 135 eighth-grade students across six classes in the academic year 2024/2025. The sample consisted of two classes, the experimental class (VIII C) and the control class (VIII D), each with 20 students. The study found that the Cake Application supported by Self-Directed Learning (SDL) significantly enhanced students' speaking skills, with the experimental group showing a larger increase in mean scores (68.67) compared to the control group (62.67). Statistical analysis indicated significant enhancements in both groups from the Pre-Test to the Post-Test, with the experimental group demonstrating a more substantial change (Z = -3.949, p = 0.000). Additionally, the experimental group had a higher mean rank (26.80) than the control group (14.20) in the Mann-Whitney U test (Z = -3.770, p = 0.000). with the effect size (Cohen's d ≥ 0.8) indicating a significant effect of Cake Application through Self-Directed Learning (SDL). This demonstrates that the intervention enhanced students' speaking skills more effectively than the conventional method. In conclusion, the study supports the effectiveness of the Cake Application through Self-Directed Learning in enhancing students’ speaking skills. The positive results highlight the potential for integrating this application into language education to improve academic performance and suggest its wider application in similar educational contexts.
