EFL PEDAGOGY IN EDUCATION 5.0: EVOLVING TRENDS AND FUTURE OF INDONESIAN EDUCATION

Abstract

This study investigates the adaptation of the Education 5.0 framework in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy in Indonesia through the use of a narrative literature review. The evaluation looks at how new trends, like gamification, VR applications, AI-driven tools, and mobile-assisted language learning, affect student performance and engagement. It covers important issues like policy alignment, teacher preparedness, sociocultural resistance, and gaps in technology infrastructure. Case studies from current studies highlight the advantages of these creative strategies, which enhance motivation, engagement, and language proficiency. The review's wide scope does, however, suggest the need for more regional research. Future directions include developing AI, increasing the use of VR, improving gamification, and enacting significant policy changes.
