From Constraints to Control: The French Language Classroom in Multilingual Nigeria (Published)
There are several issues associated with the teaching and learning of French Language in an Anglophone environment like Nigeria. For effective `interaction with the neighbouring countries, Nigerian citizens need the knowledge of French language. Nigeria is an Anglophone country that is surrounded by francophone countries. French Language teachers face a lot of issues while carrying out their day to day activities in the classroom. Some of them include mother tongue interference, lack of use of instructional materials, challenges of the modern technological facilities, confusion of the target French Language, hostile environmental issues, psychological issues, teachers’ personal issues and that of the learners etc. All these issues seem to affect the learning processes in the French Language classrooms. All the above constraints contribute to the poor performance of French language in Nigerian schools; this has led to poor academic achievement of students in French language which has spilled over to poor performance of students in both internal and external examinations.

Hybrid Learning Model in the Teaching and Learning Process Basic Accounting Practice (Published)
This research is aimed at designing an efficient hybrid learning model in learning Basic Accounting Practices. This learning model is expected to be used as a guide by lecturers who support courses in planning, implementing and evaluating their learning activities. The hardware used is a Laptop, Web Camera, Bluetooth Headset, LCD Projector, while the software is Google Meet. Research activities are carried out through 3 stages, namely: program planning, development and implementation, evaluation. The target subjects are students of the Bali State Polytechnic Accounting Department in semester 2, the target object is a learning device for the Basic Accounting Practice course. The results show that this simple hybrid learning model can be applied effectively in learning Basic Accounting Practices. This is indicated by the level of student satisfaction with the reliability of the learning model (material, design, media) using the 5 scale is an average of 4.0 (Satisfied) with an average learning outcome value of 81.01 (A). Suggestions from students are the need for reliable Wi-Fi and LCD projector facilities in every classroom.

Fully Online E-Learning Model Development as an Online Learning Model during the Covid-19 Pandemic (Published)
During the Covid-19 pandemic, all teaching and learning activities at educational institutions were requested by the government to be carried out online. Therefore, there are no more learning activities carried out face-to-face in the classroom. This research was conducted to provide an overview of the online learning model in fully online e-learning with the blended learning method. By using this model, students do not need to open many platforms in carrying out learning activities. The innovation target to be achieved is the creation of an integrated online learning model in E-Learning at the Bali State Polytechnic Learning Management System. The method used in this research is development research design, starting from problem identification, model design, expert validation, and model testing. The data collected is qualitative data, namely the results of product quality assessments from experts and student responses. The data was collected by using a questionnaire, documentation, and observation. The results showed that the fully online e-learning model was feasible to be used as an online learning model.
