This study investigated the use of instructional materials in teaching English at secondary schools Tanzania. The aimed to achieve three objectives: firstly, identify utilized for and learning Tanzania; secondly, explore how learners engage with these materials; thirdly, examine rationale behind selection utilization materials. It used a qualitative approach case design it involved twelve language teachers form students. was observe classroom conduct interviews collect data they were analysed thematically. findings reveal that employ both printed handwritten instruction Learners interact primarily through reading, writing, responding questions. choice depends on what is being studied, their availability, easiness economic reasons. has implication definition adds needs be modified by including people actions, such as humour, laughter, sarcasm, gestures, bodily movements, reactions stimuli like questions, speech its supra segmental or prosodic features during instruction. recommends training creative using government provide infrastructure support electronic devices schools.

Despite extensive research on mathematics within universities, yet exploration of alternative solutions for challenges students faced during lectures was limited. Particularly, integrating mobile technology assistance via didactical design received little attention. Therefore, researchers tried to describe the role in supporting at an Indonesian university. Didactic method used this research. Participants comprised 53 aged 18–25 years. The main tools included researcher, a math comprehension test, in-depth interview guide, and hybrid module with support. Thematic analysis uncovered learning barriers, while lecture data underwent qualitative retrospective analysis. findings were low mastery prerequisites, carelessness, limited context lecture. able minimize student obstacles higher education. This recommends lecturers facilitate problem-based activities enhance competencies Cukup banyak penelitian yang mengkaji matematika di universitas, tetapi eksplorasi mengenai solusi alternatif terhadap tantangan dihadapi mahasiswa selama kuliah masih terbatas. Khususnya, pengintegrasian teknologi seluler melalui desain didaktis kurang mendapat perhatian. Oleh karena itu, ini mencoba untuk mendeskripsikan peran dalam mendukung pada sebuah universitas Indonesia. Didactical merupakan metode digunakan ini. Pertisipan terdiri dari berusia tahun. Instrumen utama adalah peneliti, tes pemahaman matematika, panduan wawancara mendalam, dan modul hibrida dengan dukungan seluler. Analisis tematik hambatan belajar, sementara perkuliahan dianalisis menggunakan kombinasi antara analisis kualitatif retrospektif. Temuan penguasaan prasyarat rendah, kecerobohan, konteks Modul mampu meminimalkan belajar pendidikan tinggi. Penelitian merekomendasikan kepada dosen memfasilitasi kegiatan berbasis masalah meningkatkan kompetensi
