Abstract

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence in English language teaching (ELT) within the Education 5.0 framework to support adaptive and sustainable learning, particularly to address the gap between technical AI use and pedagogical integration. A qualitative case study was conducted at Cahaya Prima University in Bone Regency over eight weeks, involving 23 students from diverse non-English disciplines (Public Administration, Retail Management, and Library Science) and three lecturers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings highlight three key outcomes. First, AI tools, primarily ChatGPT, Gemini, Dola, and Google Translate promote self-directed learning through flexible access, personalized feedback, and autonomous practice, improving vocabulary, grammar, and productive skills. Second, AI fosters adaptive and sustainable learning by enhancing engagement, intrinsic motivation, and personalized learning experiences while reducing linguistic barriers in a supportive human-centered learning environment. Third, AI improves students’ learning experiences by increasing confidence and addressing limitations in language use. However, the risk of cognitive dependency remains, requiring balanced pedagogical strategies. These findings provide practical implications for higher education institutions and policymakers in designing AI-integrated, student-centered learning models. Overall, AI supports a more flexible, adaptive, and sustainable ELT environment.

Abstract

This study examines how critical thinking is integrated into EFL speaking instruction in higher education. A qualitative design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of lecturers' critical thinking and speaking instruction. The study was conducted at Muhammadiyah University of Bone and involved 4 lecturers and 14 students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis of lesson plans. The data were analyzed inductively using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns in lecturers’ perceptions and instructional strategies. The analysis focused on three interconnected stages of instruction: planning, action, and evaluation. The findings reveal that lecturers perceive critical thinking in speaking as the ability to analyze issues, justify opinions with evidence, and respond thoughtfully to counterarguments. Students’ classroom participation also showed that critical thinking emerged through their ability to ask questions, compare viewpoints, justify opinions with evidence, respond to counterarguments, and reflect on the quality of their oral performance. They believe that students' speaking skills should be evaluated not only on fluency, pronunciation, and grammatical accuracy but also on their capacity to analyze issues, build logical arguments, use evidence, engage with differing viewpoints, and reflect critically on ideas.
