The The Effectiveness of MilleaLab in Teaching English to Inclusive Students at SMP Plus Rahmat
Abstract
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Millealab, a virtual reality (VR) platform, in teaching English to inclusive students at SMP Plus Rahmat in Indonesia. Traditional methods often fail to meet these students' needs, necessitating innovative strategies like VR. Millealab offers immersive, interactive learning to enhance engagement and proficiency. Using a single-case experimental design with a multiple-baseline approach, the study involved a total of five inclusive students in grade VIII. The impact of Millealab on English proficiency was compared to traditional methods, using pre-and post-tests, checklists, and interviews. Results showed significant improvements in English proficiency for four of the five participants. Increased engagement and enjoyment were reported, attributed to Millealab's interactive nature. One student experienced adverse effects due to a pre-existing health condition, highlighting the need for adaptable approaches. The findings suggest that VR platforms like Millealab can effectively support language learning in inclusive settings, offering personalized and engaging experiences. This study provides empirical evidence for VR's potential in inclusive education and recommends further research to validate these findings.
