2025-08-02T01:44:27+07:00

This study aims to examine how playing Mobile Legends influences students' English language skills, understand which specific skills (listening, speaking, reading, or writing) show the most significant improvement, and compare the positive and negative effects of the game on English language learning. This research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data was collected through online questionnaires, semi-structured interviews with selected students, and Duolingo English Test (practice version) scores to assess language proficiency. The study found that Mobile Legends significantly contributes to English language proficiency, particularly in listening and reading skills, by providing authentic and interactive language contexts. Students show increased confidence and motivation. However, negative impacts include potential game addiction and limited exposure to formal grammar. This study can be useful in education by providing insights into integrating informal learning tools like mobile games into classroom learning for more interactive and engaging experiences. Practically, it offers guidance for educators to leverage students' interest in games to improve English language skills. Academically, it contributes to the field of game-language interaction and serves as a basis for further research. This study provides new perspectives on how digital media, often seen as mere entertainment, can be effectively utilized to support language learning in an immersive manner, especially among vocational high school students. It comprehensively evaluates the impact of Mobile Legends on various language skills beyond vocabulary and writing, filling a gap in existing research.

A comparative analysis of offline and online trials in Indonesia's digital legal transformation

2025-08-02T03:28:14+07:00

The digital transformation of Indonesia’s justice system has introduced online trials (e-litigation) as a significant innovation, in response to the limitations of conventional (offline) court proceedings. This study aimed to conduct a normative legal comparison of offline and online trial mechanisms by evaluating their respective advantages and disadvantages across four key dimensions: effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility, and adherence to the principles of procedural law. Using a normative juridical approach, this study draws upon statutory regulations, judicial doctrines, and recent scholarly literature to provide a comprehensive analysis of both trial formats. The findings indicate that offline trials maintain superiority in upholding the principle of openness and facilitating the direct examination of witnesses and defendants, thereby ensuring the authenticity and integrity of courtroom interactions. However, offline models are often constrained by inefficiencies related to costs, scheduling delays, and logistical burdens. Conversely, online trials demonstrate substantial improvements in administrative efficiency, time management, and geographic accessibility, making them particularly valuable during emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, they pose critical challenges, including technological disruptions, diminished quality of verbal and nonverbal communication, and potential infringements on the principle of transparency. Moreover, the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code and the Law on Judicial Power emphasize that public access to trials constitutes a core component of judicial legitimacy. Considering these findings, this study underscores the necessity of regulatory refinement and technological enhancement to ensure that online trials uphold the same standards of justice, fairness, and procedural integrity as their offline counterparts do.
