Difficulties in completing a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) can be helped by doing game exercises that are similar to the actual test conditions. The TOEFL learning method while playing the game becomes an interesting project, to see how students can use the game experience to master the skills needed for doing a TOEFL. In this study a mobile educative game application is created to understand the TOEFL test that has many features. The Tommy & Pokina TOEFL-Like App Game is one game that is expected to be used to improve students' TOEFL abilities. In seeing the results of the students' TOEFL as game players, the integration of games with information systems makes it easy for teachers to get the information quickly. This article shares how the information system help facilitate fast and good data management of the students' TOEFL results.

The disjuncture between institutions' expectation in educating their students and students' perceptions on the benefit of their teaching and learning processes necessitates a paradigm shift in the college curriculum. Given that universities prepare students to be an individual and a member of a society, college curriculum, therefore, should enhance students' experience both academically and nonacademically. This paper attempts to propose a modest and brief preliminary proposal for curricular change for English Departments in Indonesia. The proposal includes the proposal for five elements of curricular revision - purpose, learner, content, instructional processes, and evaluation and assessment.

Thus, prior to attempting to make use of the technology for teaching, understanding of users’ perceptions or beliefs about ICTs is crucial to be established. The purpose of this study is to understand how technologies are used and perceived by the students and how much the technological gadgets have been used for English-skill-related activities. The study employs descriptive quantitative method by which data were collected through questionnaire surveys. This paper will discuss the preliminary findings of an on-going study on the above issues. Implication that this study informs EFL in Indonesia in that technologies indeed have a significant role in school environment and may be optimized for learning purposes will be discussed.

Studies in this area of inquiry have indicated that games are not significantly correlated to student academic performance. Rather, they facilitate knowledge acquisition and sharing among students. However, implications from existing literature on the use of games in education suggest that futher research needs to be done to explore how games are used to enhance students’ social and problem-solving skills. This study attempts to investigate students’ perception of the collaborative task of game making for language classrooms and the challenges in creating such games. To address the research questions in this study, we used Role Play Game Maker MV to create a customized game for a language classroom. We employed both qualitative and quantitative method to address the research questions. The findings suggest that students viewed the collaborative task of making a game interesti...

Existing literature on students‘ attitude on technology in the classroom shows that students are highly adaptable in using sophisticated technology for communication and for educational purposes. However, in order to be able to make the most of technology, students need guidance. Research on technology-based projects for knowledge sharing indicates that students have highly favorable opinions toward active learning strategies where students can contribute significantly to the collective knowledge. While the impact of technology on the academic achievement shows mixed results, numerous studies highlight the benefits of the use of technology on students‘ retention rate, class engagement, teamwork skill, and students‘ undergraduate education satisfaction. This paper discusses the results of a collaborative technologybased project and its implications on undergraduate educational policies. We e...

Data untuk membuat situs dan mengintegrasikan media sosial dalam situs didapat dengan wawancara dengan pengelola dan relawan. Saat ini situs sudah berfungsi dan pengelola situs sudah menggunakan program ini untuk memperbarui kegiatan pendampingan. Namun demikian, di masa mendatang, situs dan media sosial yang digunakan oleh LPUBTN harus di evaluasi ulang untuk mengetahui apakah program kerja lembaga diketahui banyak orang dan apakah situs ini berpengaruh terhadap diseminasi informasi lembaga tersebut. Kata kunci: teknologi informasi, media sosial, pemberdayaan, buruh tani, nelayan.
