THE ROLE OF BELAJAR.ID ACCOUNTS IN TRANSFORMING PRIMARY SCHOOL ENGLISH EDUCATION

This study aims to explore the utilization of belajar.id accounts in English learning in an elementary school in Sukoharjo. It investigates how teachers integrate this platform into teaching, the challenges faced, and students' perceptions. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, utilizing interviews with one English teacher and thirteen sixth-grade students, along with classroom observations. Findings reveal that belajar.id accounts, integrated with Chromebook devices, enhance interactive and engaging learning through features such as Email, Google Forms, Quizizz, Spreadsheets, and Google Search. The implementation of belajar.id accounts in English learning has been carried out gradually, following preparation and training sessions introduced after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 through ICT lessons. However, challenges include technical issues and limited student proficiency. Despite these obstacles, students demonstrated positive attitudes, describing their experience as exciting and modern. This research highlights the transformative potential of digital tools in primary English education and provides insights for improving educational technology integration.
