Analysis of the Effectiveness of E-Learning in Enhancing English Comprehension Among Electrical Engineering Students: A Case Study in Cirebon"

Abstract

This study aims to analyses the effectiveness of e-learning in enhancing the English comprehension of Electrical Engineering students in Cirebon. The research employs a quantitative method with a journal review approach to identify trends and the effectiveness of e-learning in English learning for engineering students. The findings indicate that e-learning significantly contributes to students' comprehension improvement, particularly in reading and listening skills. Students who actively use e-learning show a 30% increase in English comprehension scores compared to those who rely solely on conventional learning methods. A total of 75% of students reported that e-learning helped them better understand technical materials in English. However, challenges remain in student interaction and learning motivation, especially in speaking and writing skills. The conclusion of this study suggests that e-learning can be an effective learning medium with proper implementation strategies, including enhancing digital interaction and developing more engaging methods for students.
