Abstract

AI-driven digital transformation has significantly shifted the role of teachers from teacher-centered to learner-centered. Teachers now serve as facilitators, mediators, and learning designers who leverage AI technology through adaptive learning systems and real-time analysis of student data. However, the integration of AI in education faces various challenges, including the digital divide, limitations in teachers’ technological competencies, a lack of ongoing training, and ethical issues related to privacy and data security. Resistance to change is also a major barrier to technology adoption. The success of digital transformation in education requires comprehensive readiness, including the enhancement of teachers’ competencies, institutional support, and adaptive and ethical policies. Strategic efforts are needed to improve teachers’ digital literacy in order to create an educational ecosystem that supports the effective and responsible integration of technology.

Abstract

Students' writing growth has been greatly impacted by the incorporation of grammar-checking software into language learning, especially in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This study focuses on the linguistic and cognitive aspects of writing in order to examine how students' writing styles alter after utilizing a grammar-checking program. 25 undergraduate students taking an academic writing course participated in this study, which used a qualitative reflective design. Semi-structured interviews, reflective diaries, pre- and post-writing assignments, and document analysis were used to gather data. To find patterns of change in grammatical accuracy, lexical diversity, sentence complexity, coherence, and writing autonomy, the data were subjected to thematic analysis. The results show that using grammar checking software greatly enhances students' writing, especially in terms of improving grammatical accuracy, increasing vocabulary, and encouraging more intricate sentence patterns. Students also exhibit higher levels of engagement with the editing process and metacognitive awareness. However, the study also highlights some disadvantages, like an excessive dependence on automated feedback and a poor critical comprehension of grammatical principles. Grammar checking software is therefore a useful tool for enhancing writing quality, but in order to guarantee deeper learning and critical engagement, its use should be accompanied by instructional assistance.

Abstract

This research examines the differences in social habits between British and American societies in four main aspects: communication style, attitude toward time, politeness, and patterns of social interaction, with implications for English language learning in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-method design, primary data were collected thru in-depth interviews with 15 key informants (British-American expatriates in Indonesia) and observations of 12 authentic video vlogs, supplemented by a review of 30 peer-reviewed journals (2015–2026). The results show that the British apply indirect-formal communication (understatements, sarcasm), moderate punctuality with a sacred queuing culture, traditional restraint in politeness, and slow interaction via small talk about the weather; conversely, Americans are direct-explicit (open praise), absolute time-is-money, friendly-informal politeness (small talk, touch), and quick networking. The findings align with Edward T. Hall's theory of high-context (British) vs low-context culture (American) and Hofstede's dimensions. The contribution of the research is the development of cultural code-switching for Indonesian EFL learners to reduce cross-cultural misunderstandings, with recommendations for role-play scenarios and AI digital modules. Future research is suggested to include field ethnography in the UK-US.
