Video-based learning in EFL contexts: a systematic review of empirical evidence and pedagogical implications
Full text linkThe increasing integration of video-based learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has transformed the ways learners engage with language, teachers facilitate instruction, and institutions design curricula. This systematic review synthesizes empirical studies published between 2023 and 2025 that examine the pedagogical affordances and challenges of diverse video-mediated approaches, including synchronous video communication, video-enhanced observation, translanguaging in peer editing, video-based shadowing, dubbing applications, and social media integration such as TikTok. Findings reveal that video-based interventions significantly enhance learners’ oral proficiency, pronunciation, reflective practices, cognitive engagement, and socio-emotional involvement. However, their effectiveness is highly contingent upon instructional design, learners’ proficiency levels, technological accessibility, and institutional support. While face-to-face modalities tend to foster richer interactional dynamics and emotional engagement, video-mediated environments provide unique opportunities for reflective practice, multimodal input, and collaborative problem-solving. Challenges such as cognitive overload, reduced social presence, digital distractions, and unequal access underscore the need for pedagogical scaffolding and critical integration. Overall, this review highlights the transformative yet context-sensitive role of video-based learning in EFL education, calling for future research on long-term impacts, differentiated instructional strategies, and the integration of AI-driven adaptive technologies to optimize multimodal learning ecologies
Bridging Coursework and Publication: A Model to Help Students Produce Manuscripts Ready for Publication in Scientific Journals
Full text linkThe gap between academic coursework and publication readiness remains a significant challenge in higher education, where students often produce high-quality research assignments but lack the skills, confidence, and guidance to transform them into publishable manuscripts. This article introduces the Bridging Coursework and Publication model, a constructivist and publication-oriented pedagogical framework designed to guide students from coursework completion to manuscript submission. The model integrates scaffolded writing stages, peer review, publication simulation, reflective portfolios, and digital tool utilization to enhance students’ academic writing competence, publication literacy, and scholarly identity. A pilot implementation with undergraduate students in a research methodology course demonstrated substantial improvements in manuscript preparation, submission rates, and student engagement. The findings suggest that embedding publication-focused scaffolding within coursework can effectively bridge the gap between academic assignments and scholarly dissemination, fostering a culture of research and publication within higher education institutions. The model offers a replicable framework for curriculum designers, instructors, and policymakers aiming to enhance student research productivity and publication readiness
Post-Strukturalisme sebagai Strategi Kritik Radikalisme: Membangun Literasi Keagamaan Kritis dalam Pendidikan Islam
Full text linkMaraknya narasi radikal di perguruan tinggi, dari kajian eksklusif hingga propaganda kekerasan berbasis agama, mencerminkan krisis epistemik dalam Pendidikan Islam konvensional. Pendekatan tradisional yang memutlakkan makna teks agama dan menguatkan oposisi biner tanpa disadari menjadi ladang subur bagi ekstremisme. Penelitian ini menggunakan pisau analisis post-strukturalis (Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard) untuk mendekonstruksi wacana keagamaan melalui metode kualitatif: analisis wacana kritis, observasi lapangan, dan pembacaan teks. Ditemukan bahwa narasi radikal dibentuk oleh rezim kebenaran yang monopolistik dan otoritas kharismatik. Dekonstruksi Derrida mengungkap ambiguitas makna dalam teks suci, membebaskan tafsir dari dominasi tunggal. Studi ini tidak berhenti pada kritik, tetapi menawarkan alternatif: model Pendidikan Islam yang mengganti metanarasi radikal dengan narasi-narasi lokal tentang toleransi dan dialog, sejalan dengan tradisi ta’wil dan ikhtilaf. Implikasi praktisnya mencakup kurikulum berbasis fluiditas makna, workshop dekonstruksi, dan simulasi dialog multisuara. Tujuannya: menjadikan kampus ruang tumbuh bagi critical believer—beriman, kritis, dan inklusif

Perceptions of ai-based language learning tools: a case study on student adaptability and learning strategies
Full text linkThe rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into higher education has transformed how students approach language learning tasks. This study investigates university students’ perceptions of AI-based language learning tools, focusing on how these technologies influence their adaptability and learning strategies. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from semi-structured interviews and reflective journals involving sixteen undergraduate students from various disciplines at an Indonesian public university. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: perceived benefits and limitations of AI tools, diverse adaptive responses to automated feedback, and varying degrees of strategic engagement. Findings show that while student ts generally appreciate the efficiency and support offered by AI applications, their level of critical engagement and adaptability varies significantly. Some students actively cross-check AI feedback and adjust their strategies thoughtfully, whereas others tend to accept suggestions passively, which may hinder deeper language development. The study highlights the need for explicit AI literacy training and pedagogical frameworks that foster critical and reflective use of AI tools in language learning contexts. These insights contribute to ongoing discourse on responsible AI integration in education and offer practical implications for educators and policymakers aiming to balance technological affordances with the cultivation of independent learning skills
