Abstract

The interconnected world of the 21st century has shifted the goal of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education from mere linguistic competence to the holistic development of Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC). This study investigates the crucial role of Language Learning Strategies (LLS) employed by EFL students in facilitating the acquisition and deployment of ICC. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research explores the lived experiences of five purposively selected EFL university students in Indonesia, focusing on their strategic actions when engaging in cross-cultural interactions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and non-participant observation of simulated intercultural tasks. The findings reveal that social/affective LLS (e.g., seeking out native speakers, showing empathy) and specific metacognitive LLS (e.g., directed attention to cultural norms, self-monitoring for cultural appropriateness) are the most instrumental in developing ICC's key components: Attitudes (openness and curiosity), Knowledge (understanding cultural values), and Skills (interpreting and relating). The study concludes that explicit instruction in LLS, particularly those encouraging social and reflective engagement, is vital for transforming EFL learners into intercultural competent global citizens. This work provides pedagogical implications for EFL educators to integrate LLS training within a culturally-rich curriculum. Keywords: Language Learning Strategies (LLS), Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC), EFL Students, Qualitative Case Study, Intercultural Awareness, Social Strategies.

Abstract

Background. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have opened up new opportunities in the field of education, especially in learning foreign languages at the high school level. However, the integration of AI-based chatbots as interactive companions in the context of formal learning is still rarely explored, especially in Indonesia. Purpose. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of AI chatbots as an interactive learning partner in improving the outcomes and quality of foreign language learning of high school students. Method. The research instruments included pretest and posttest tests, engagement questionnaires, and observation of student learning behavior. The sample consisted of 60 grade XI students at one of the State High Schools. Results. The results showed a significant increase in the posttest scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. In addition, chatbots also play a role in building confidence and increasing students' active participation in foreign language practices independently. Conclusion. The conclusion of this study states that AI chatbots are effective as an interactive companion that is able to enrich the experience of learning a foreign language. The uniqueness of this research lies in the integration of chatbots in the formal curriculum of high schools, as well as its contribution in answering the needs of personalized learning through AI-based technology.

Abstract

This research discusses teaching reading by using Read Naturally program for second-grade students at SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar. This research used a pre-experimental design and focused on reading comprehension. The population of this research was second grade students of SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar in the 2025/2026 academic year. The sample was 20 students, and used a total sampling technique. The researcher used a multiple-choice test to measure students' reading comprehension abilities by using descriptive texts in Read Naturally as reading material. The data analysis technique used inferential statistics. The data showed that there was a difference in scores between the pre-test and post-test. This is evidenced by the t-test value which is greater than the t-table (12.885>2.093) at a significance level of 0.05 and df=19. This means that the hypothesis is not rejected while the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Based on these results, the researcher concluded that the use of Read Naturally can improve students' reading comprehension in the second grade students of SMA YP PGRI 2 Makassar.
