IPALL. It is when they are really aware that learning is not exactly like what is seen on surface. When readers understand everything from ‘the eye of the
students’, it is when the intermediate goal is achieved.
3. The Ultimate Study Goal
The ultimate goal of this study is the explanation of how IPALL is useful to help students’ move toward self-actualization. It is about how students can
actualize themselves more by learning using IPALL. It is whether they are finally able to be self-fulfilled; to be much better students. Self actualization is indicated
by some characteristics. The characteristics are various and these characteristics distinguish self-actualized people with ordinary people.
As the characteristics are able to be revealed only through students’ lived experiences which are written in a form of anecdotes, the anecdotes are explained
carefully in order to identify parts which show that students possess characteristics of self-actualized people. Analyzing students’ lived experiences in
details is able to give understanding of whether students gradually become more self-actualized. This study is said to have achieved the ultimate goal when the
explanation of the process of becoming more self-actualized is presented and elaborated.
F. RESEARCH BENEFITS
This study is valid as it reveals what it is intended to reveal. The revealed meaning is in line with the goal which is finding out the empirical and
transcendent meaning of learning using IPALL. After analyzing and interpreting
the results, this study has given some benefits for some parties. The parties are those who are directly or indirectly involved in English education. Those who are
directly involved are those who work in educational field, in this case is in English education institution. Those can be teachers, lecturers, or teacher
candidates. Those who are not indirectly involved are the audience, in this case are
teachers who may not teach English, yet who needs information about how important it is to perceive something from students’ point of view. Therefore, they
are able to be enlightened themselves. It may also be useful for those who are working in other fields especially when they are interested in using hermeneutics
phenomenology as the method in their research to see how it is applied in the research. It may also be useful for others who share the same interest, which is
seeking for meaning, but meaning in other fields such as psychology or nursing, etc. This research will give them general overview about how meaning can be
sought using hermeneutics phenomenology methodology.
1. English Education Institutions
This study is beneficial for English Education Institution especially in understanding students. It is beneficial in a way that it has given clear
interpretation about students’ lived experiences. It has given insights how transcendent meaning is as important as empirical meaning to students’ life. Their
lived experiences are useful especially when the institution needs to conduct a class using the aid of technology, specifically IPALL. The meaning which has
been revealed in this research can be the consideration when English Education
Institution plans to continue using of IPALL or when it plans to use other forms of media.
Students’ previous learning experiences, awareness, feeling, and intention are always there, always take part in the meaning construction. Those things have
shaped a certain horizon and they are expanding their horizon as they keep learning. Therefore, it is important to note that learning does not only mean how
much knowledge students are able to obtain. It is not merely about whether all students are successful. It is about facilitating learning using learning media which
is able to lead students to be self-actualized both as students and as human.
2. Teachers and Lecturers
Vocabulary learning is encouraged because lack of vocabulary is usually the problem that students have that they have difficulties in developing their skills
in English. The development of application such as IPALL has helped them a lot in knowing more vocabulary. IPALL is developed in order to help teachers
develop a set of exercises for students. Yet, in fact, it means a lot to students and it has made them able to improve their achievement, but it has also made them able
to learn much more important things which are valuable for their life. This fact has given understanding for lecturers, teachers, or English
instructors that the decision to use learning media which is especially for vocabulary learning should be wisely considered. It should be done in order to be
able to facilitate learning which encourages students to be better as students and also to be better as human. Learning media should help students become self-
actualized both as students and as human being. It is not only whether students
