The mixed method was implemented specifically related to the explanatory sequential design (Quantitative-Qualitative) where the research design comprised two interactive sequential stages. The first stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing quantitative data using the pre-experimental method to find out the difference before and after being given treatment. The samples were determined using purposive sampling where 30 Papuan EFL students were selected, and data were analyzed by using SPSS. The second stage was carried out by collecting and analyzing qualitative data using structured interviews. The samples were determined using purposive sampling also, and 7 Papuan EFL students were considered representative to obtain data. The results show that Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by smartphones is effective to increase English proficiency of Papuan EFL students by a significant increase of 38.70%. The effectiveness of this learning cannot be separated from the aspects of efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility supported by excellence in terms of visualization and auditory systems. Moreover, some factors that certainly become constraints of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) including internet networks, small screens, notifications and advertisements, lack of proficiency towards applications, unsupported smartphones, and battery power. By solving all these constraints, CALL can be more effective to be applied in teaching and learning. The significant implication provides better change in the world of education through learning strategies in utilizing technology especially certain context and conditions in Papua.","PeriodicalId":33323,"journal":{"name":"English Franca Academic Journal of English Language and Education","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80321465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, previous research found that teachers need more understanding of the concept of SCLA. Thus, this study explores vocational high school EFL teacher's understanding of SCLA in implementing problem-based learning in the Kurikulum Merdeka aligned with the theory from Jonassen (2000). This qualitative case study employed an interview as the main instrument to discover an understanding from one teacher. Based on the data analysis through thematic analysis, the findings revealed that the teacher had a fair understanding of the student-centered learning assessment's concepts, advantages, and obstacles. Nevertheless, the teacher still needed to learn more about SCLA. Although not all of the research findings were relevant to the previous study and the theory, the teacher reasonably implemented the student-centered learning assessment while improving the future teaching- learning process, particularly the assessment system. Moreover, there is an expectation for the school, principals, and other stakeholders to pay attention to providing teachers with training regarding student-centered learning assessment. In addition, teachers are expected to be willing to stay up-to-date with the change of curriculum, including the shift in the assessment form, teachers' role, and learning to understand the current curriculum and the learning methods.","PeriodicalId":33323,"journal":{"name":"English Franca Academic Journal of English Language and Education","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90567302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researchers employed a purposive selection strategy to choose 30 pupils from this group. The researchers employed questionnaires to collect data. According to the study's results, the degree of blended-learning students' English learning motivation was 73,2%, indicating that the students were well motivated. In this study, the instrumental factor was found to be the most crucial component in students' motivation for English blended learning. Blended learning is fascinating to the instructor and students because it allows them to exercise English in several ways. Students can learn not only by seeing and hearing the instructor in front of the class on a chalkboard but also by the teacher's excitement and personal characteristics. Students may get more engaged in studying English through various techniques, and they may also exercise their knowledge through blended learning. There might be other explanations from films or music.","PeriodicalId":33323,"journal":{"name":"English Franca Academic Journal of English Language and Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89446135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed-methods study was conducted with thirty sixth graders at SD IT Cahaya Rabbani Kepahiang to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. To collect quantitative data, a questionnaire was employed, and to collect qualitative data, interviews were used. Using SPSS and Excel, the data were descriptively examined. Because short stories are engaging, practical, and simple to grasp, 80% of SD IT Cahaya Rabbani Kepahiang students highly agree and believe that using short story media can help students learn more words in English. The study's conclusions indicate that students are open to using short stories to broaden their vocabulary and find them engaging. Therefore, English teachers should employ short stories to assist students learn vocabulary. The instructor should be mindful of the significance of selecting short stories wisely and doing it in a way that is both engaging and amusing.
