Abstract

AI-based language equipment is now heavily used in English learning and teaching because it can offer personal, efficient and interactive educational experience. Therefore, this research aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of AI in the field of language acquisition by reviewing the literature systematically. Thematic analysis of 22 studies between 2023 and 2025 were included. The results indicate that AI facilitates personalized learning and feedback, time efficiency, learning engagement, skill development, accessibility and teachers’ support. Nevertheless, the review of literature also uncovers a number of limitations including over-dependence on technology, transgressive environment which personifies with a lack in academic integrity and critical thinking, concerns related to data privacy, challenges of accuracy and reliability, pedagogical and technical issues, as well as cultural and language barriers. These findings underscore the need to consider the judicious and ethical use of AI to extend its utility in English language education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers' perspectives on the use of the animated video Tory-Boo in teaching English literacy to early childhood learners. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. Participants in this study were six English teachers who teach early childhood learners and have experience using animated videos in their classrooms. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide. All interview data were recorded and transcribed. The research data were analyzed and categorized into several themes. Member checking was also conducted to ensure the validity of the data. The results showed that teachers generally had a positive perspective on the use of the animated video Tory-Boo. The video was considered an engaging and effective learning medium that can increase student motivation, support vocabulary development, and enhance comprehension through visual and contextual input. In addition, the use of animated videos facilitated interactive and student-centered learning through various follow-up activities. However, several challenges were also identified, including technical constraints, classroom management, and the need to select content appropriate to students' language proficiency levels. This study suggests that animated videos can be a valuable tool in teaching English literacy when supported by appropriate pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly common in higher education, worries regarding academic honesty and ethical standards have increased. This study intends to explore how university students view and apply ethical limits while utilizing AI tools for academic writing. A group of six undergraduate students at Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, who have experience using AI assistants, were interviewed through semi-structured interviews using a qualitative descriptive design. The study reveals that students perceive AI as a supporter of brainstorming, idea generation, and structural validation, rather than removing human intellect altogether. A clear ethical limit is established, and the use of AI is considered unethical if it necessitates unreviewed "copy-pasting" without personal input or comprehension. Also, it is observed that there is a significant amount of agreement among students regarding the necessity for disclosure on AI usage to uphold academic integrity. While this increase in efficiency is welcome, students are concerned that it could harm critical thinking skills and they are skeptical of AI accuracy, which must be closely monitored by humans. The report recommends that schools should establish distinct regulatory mechanisms and AI literacy initiatives to ensure the adherence to ethical AI.
