Abstract

Listening is essential for effective communication but often poses challenges in traditional teaching settings, where exposure to authentic materials is limited (Vandergrift & Goh, 2012). However, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) provides mobile access to interactive audio content, enabling adaptive learning experiences (Burston, 2014) and continuous exposure to varied accents (Godwin-Jones, 2017). This study explores the implementation of MALL for listening instructions in SMAN 5 Tanjungpinang, focusing on the research questions: “Has SMAN 5 Tanjungpinang incorporated MALL into their teaching practices?” and “How does MALL contribute to improving SMAN 5 Tanjungpinang students' listening skills?” This qualitative research employs observation and semi-structured interviews to examine MALL's application in real classroom settings, aligning with the (Creswell, 2014) emphasis on context and utilizing thematic analysis to identify emerging patterns (Braun & Clarke, 2013). Findings reveal that while SMAN 5 Tanjungpinang has started incorporating MALL, there is significant potential to enhance its integration further and positively impact students' listening skills. These results highlight the importance of integrating mobile technology into educational curricula to enhance language learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines teachers' experiences in utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools for English language teaching at the senior high school level. In the digital era, ICT integration has become essential to enhance teaching effectiveness, foster student engagement, and support autonomous learning. Through a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with two English teachers from SMA Negeri 2 Tanjungpinang to explore the benefits and challenges of ICT implementation. The findings highlight that ICT tools, including PowerPoint, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and collaborative platforms, significantly improve the teaching-learning process. These tools facilitate engaging multimedia-based instruction, effective assessment methods, and interactive learning environments. Applications like Elsa Speak also enhance students' speaking and pronunciation skills. Despite these advantages, several challenges were identified, such as limited technological infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and inflexible features of certain platforms. For example, some quiz systems do not accept alternative answers, leading to inefficiencies. This study emphasizes the need for infrastructure improvements, continuous professional development for teachers, and the development of more adaptive ICT tools. These efforts are crucial to overcoming existing barriers and optimizing ICT integration in education. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, curriculum developers, and educators to enhance the quality of English language teaching and ensure equitable access to technology in learning.

Abstract

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have brought about significant transformations in foreign language teaching (FLT). This article explores the opportunities, challenges, and implementation strategies of AI in foreign language learning, with a focus on personalization of learning, real-time feedback, and increased accessibility. AI enables adaptive learning approaches to suit individual needs, provides instant feedback that supports language skill development, and opens access to quality materials for students in different geographies. However, challenges such as traditional curriculum integration, algorithm bias, limited understanding of cultural context, and ethical issues of data privacy need to be overcome for optimal utilization of AI. Teacher involvement remains essential to provide guidance, motivation, and pedagogical adjustments in a holistic learning process.

Abstract

This review explores secondary school students' perceptions of learning speaking skills, emphasizing the importance of effective communication in both academic and real-world settings. While speaking, especially in a second language, is crucial, many students face challenges such as anxiety and lack of confidence. Understanding these perceptions is essential for educators to enhance teaching strategies and create supportive environments. The study explores factors influencing students' views, including motivation, teaching methods, and the learning environment. Motivated students tend to be more confident and engaged in speaking activities, while interactive methods, such as group activities and technology integration, improve participation. A positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere can reduce fear and promote confidence. However, challenges like fear of mistakes and limited vocabulary persist, requiring adaptive teaching techniques focused on gradual skill development and constructive feedback. The study recommends innovative approaches, such as task-based learning and gamified exercises, to make speaking practice enjoyable and effective. The findings provide valuable insights for improving English language education and suggest areas for future research, including cultural influences and technological advancements. Keywords: Student perceptions; speaking skills; secondary education; learning strategies; language proficiency; communication skills.

Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enhanced teaching and learning, particularly in reading, by making lessons interactive and resource-rich. While ICT integration in teaching English skills had been widely discussed, its specific impact on teaching reading remained underexplored. This study investigated the ICT tools integrated by an English teacher at SMKN 1 Tanjungpinang and the impact on teaching reading. Employing a qualitative embedded case study design, data were collected through interview, observation, and document analysis involving one teacher and 15 students from a vocational school in Tanjungpinang. The findings revealed that laptop, projector, speaker, and applications like Kahoot! and PowerPoint were commonly used ICT tools. The integration of ICT increased student engagement, focus, and reading comprehension, though challenges such as distractions from personal devices were observed. Overall, ICT integration positively influenced teaching reading by enhancing interactivity, student motivation, vocabulary acquisition, and summarizing the story, demonstrating its potential in modern education.
