Abstract

This study investigated the effects of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted speaking instruction using a generative AI (GenAI) chatbot on Chinese vocational college English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ oral accuracy and fluency. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was adopted with 80 students. The experimental group engaged in AI-mediated speaking activities, while the control group received conventional instruction. Oral performance was assessed using analytic rubrics adapted from international English language testing system (IELTS) criteria. Results showed significant improvement in oral fluency for the experimental group, while gains in accuracy were not statistically significant. These findings suggest that GenAI chatbots provide interaction-rich environments that enhance fluency development but require complementary form-focused support to improve accuracy. Implications are discussed for integrating AI tools into vocational EFL speaking instruction.

Abstract

Background: Patriarchal culture remains a social phenomenon that influences gender relations in society, including in educational practices and religious understanding. Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic religious education through the utilization of social media as an effort to reduce patriarchal culture. Methodology: This study used a Systematic Literature Review with PRISMA, selecting 23 relevant studies from 2021–2025, and analyzed them with thematic coding to identify key findings on social media in Islamic Religious Education and patriarchal culture. Result: The results of the study indicate that patriarchal culture is largely influenced by social constructions and non-contextual interpretations of religious teachings. Islamic religious education delivered through social media has significant potential to foster a more inclusive religious understanding that emphasizes the values of justice and gender equality. Conclusion: Through communicative and contextual digital da’wah approaches, social media can serve as an effective educational medium to enhance public awareness of equitable gender relations from an Islamic perspective. Implications: This study implies the importance of developing inclusive digital da’wah strategies by educators and preachers, as well as the need for further research based on empirical approaches to gain a deeper understanding of digital da’wah practices.
