Abstract

This research examined the effect of digital storytelling on EFL students’ reading motivation and reading habits at SMK Inayah Ujung Batu. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was applied, involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants consisted of 40 second-grade students, divided equally into two classes: 20 students in the experimental class and 20 students in the control class. The experimental group received instruction through digital storytelling, whereas the control group was taught using conventional reading methods. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring reading motivation and reading habits. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and independent sample t-tests using SPSS. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in the experimental group. The mean score of reading motivation increased from 59.45 (pre-test) to 85.15 (post-test), while reading habits improved from 56.45 to 83.15. In comparison, the control group showed relatively lower gains. Statistical testing confirmed that the significance value was below 0.05 (Sig. = 0.000 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect. These findings suggest that digital storytelling effectively enhances students’ motivation and fosters better reading habits. The integration of multimedia elements contributes to increased engagement, active participation, and positive attitudes toward reading. Therefore, digital storytelling can be considered an innovative and effective instructional medium for improving students’ reading-related outcomes in English language learning.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly significant in higher students, particularly in improving their academic writing skills. AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT offer immediate feedback, grammar correction, vocabulary enhancement, idea generation, and text organization, which can support EFL learners in the writing process. Academic writing is often considered one of the most challenging skills for EFL students due to difficulties in language accuracy, coherence, and idea development. Although many students use AI tools in writing classes, limited empirical studies have examined the direct effect of ChatGPT-assisted writing on students’ academic writing performance, especially in the Indonesian EFL context. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ChatGPT-assisted writing on EFL students’ academic writing skills. The study employed a quasi-experimental design using a pre-test and post-test control group design involving 50 higher students divided into experimental (25 students) and control groups (25 students). The experimental group received ChatGPT-assisted writing instruction, while the control group received conventional writing instruction. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores than the control group (p 0.05). It can be concluded that ChatGPT-assisted writing effectively improves students’ academic writing skills.
