About

I'm a Master's student in English Language Education at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. I'm drawn to communicative, interactive learning that fits what students actually need, and to using technology to support speaking, engagement and collaboration. Along the way I develop teaching materials, write academically and research how English is best taught.

Research, teaching and community work

Koop-Tech

Video-based speaking materials for senior high school

Kurikulum Merdeka, Phase E (Grade X)

Koop-Tech blends cooperative learning with technology to help students speak with more confidence. Short videos act as the input, followed by speaking practice, activity sheets, group discussion and a guide for teachers.

The materials target giving opinions, joining discussions, building arguments, short presentations, vocabulary and fluency. It is a Design and Development Research project, so the goal is to develop and validate the materials rather than test their effectiveness in an experiment.

  1. Needs analysis
  2. Product development
  3. Expert validation

Working title: The Development of Video-Based Koop-Tech Learning Materials to Support Students' Speaking Skills in Senior High School
