Thus, education in the 21st century should prepare learners to live, work and survive in the uncertain and risky real-life environment ( Husin et al, 2016 ; Beno and Funke, 2017 ; Asmolov, 2018 ; Rafiq et al, 2019 ). It demands learners to develop their knowledge, competencies, and skills ( Watkins, 2019 ; Ansarian and Mohammadi, 2018 ) rather than only focusing on academic performance.…”

Education evolves and progresses globally in a technology-driven world, highlighting the integration of VUCA elements of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in lessons. Learners are molded to equip themselves with the world and real-life knowledge in their readiness to adapt to the VUCA world. Global education consists of preparing learners for the VUCA world. This study aimed to investigate the current English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching practices and the ESL teachers’ incorporation of VUCA elements in ESL lessons. This study was conducted quantitatively using a survey questionnaire. This study was administered to 30 ESL teachers from different secondary schools in a district in Malacca. The results from the questionnaire revealed that the ESL participants had positive perceptions toward the adaptation of VUCA in the current ESL lessons. Most of the ESL teachers agreed that they adapted VUCA elements into the activities during lessons, although some showed uncertainty about their knowledge and understanding of VUCA. From the high agreement levels in the findings, it can be concluded that the ESL teachers agreed that VUCA elements through problem-based, digital-based, collaborative, and challenging activities in English lessons are beneficial to assist students’ meaningful and autonomous learning. Based on these findings, implications were made for enhancing ESL teachers’ knowledge, understanding, and skills in adapting VUCA in lessons in response to global education demand.

Since mastering English has emerged as one of the most crucial abilities for students to gain, teaching English as a Secondary Language in the dynamic age of evolution takes a rigorous effort. As one of the most important abilities to improve in learning English is vocabulary, Malaysian Upper Primary ESL learners have been exposed to a list of vocabulary relating to their everyday lives through a CEFR-aligned curriculum at school. However, acquiring vocabulary is a time-consuming process that requires the learners to master the form and meaning range of a specific lexical word. Therefore, this paper investigated the use of Minnie Sites as a way to enhance vocabulary acquisition among upper-primary ESL learners. It involved 33 participants who were in their Upper Primary school level from a rural school in Kota Tinggi, Johor. This study uses a Design and Development Research (DDR) approach to generate interest in English vocabulary learning through five stages in the ADDIE model. Based on a comparison between the pre-and post-tests, findings indicated that there is a significant effect of using Minnie Sites to enhance vocabulary. This study implies the effectiveness of applying Minnie Sites among learners, teachers, and parents who value their children's vocabulary acquisition mainly at primary levels.
