Evaluating the Validity and Practicality of a Technology-Based E-Learning for Language Research Methods in Higher Education

This study evaluates the validity and practicality of a novel technology-based e-learning system developed explicitly for language research methods in higher education. Recognizing the promising potential of integrating e-learning with corpus linguistics principles, the research focused on designing and assessing tools for teaching corpus linguistics-based language research. Validity was determined by examining the alignment of the e-learning content with fundamental corpus linguistic principles and established research methodologies. Practicality was assessed based on the platform's usability,accessibility, and the overall feasibility of its tools for both educators and students. Observations revealed positive adaptation from both instructors and learners, with lecturers effectively integrating diverse features and students actively utilizing the platform to access materials, collaborate, and interact. The findings confirm the success of this approach, evidenced by positive feedback regarding content clarity, relevance, and applicability. Furthermore, the e-learning media demonstrated high practicality, as indicated by both teacher and student responses. Overall, these results indicate significant potential for this e-learning system to enhance learning effectiveness, particularly in language research methods, thereby advancing empirical language studies within digital environments. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on effective technology integration in linguistics education.
