Exploring Vocational Students' Perceptions Towards Language Hub in Enhancing Autonomy

This study aims to examine how an integrated digital learning platform, the Language Hub system, may enable vocational students to acquire more language learning autonomy. Although great efforts are made to raise language competency, vocational students typically need help to become autonomous in their educational process. This study fills in this gap by examining students' perceptions of the Language Hub and how it influences learner autonomy. Learner autonomy is proven to improve language acquisition significantly. The study was conducted with 80 students from a vocational school and employed qualitative data collected through a single-source student questionnaire. The findings significantly improved understanding of the effectiveness of online learning platforms in increasing learner autonomy in language education settings. The results show that the Language Hub program has greatly improved students' autonomy and language abilities. The long-term effects and adaptability of combined digital learning systems in different educational settings should be the main focus of the next studies. This paper emphasizes the need for such platforms to support autonomy and fulfill the changing language education.
