In line with the increasing institutionalization of scholarly publication as a graduation requirement for graduate students around the world, the use of a community of writing practice to support students navigate their publication endeavour has begun to receive attention from academic supervisors and graduate researchers. Despite the burgeoning interest in this topic, there has been little empirical evidence on master’s students’ experiences and perspectives of working within such writing groups at an Indonesian university. This phenomenological case study intends to fill this lacuna by elaborating on the process of a writing group's establishment and development for master's students of English education and exploring their perceptions of participating in such a community of practice (COP). Findings indicate that the writing group served as a flexible and participatory COP that produced critical and enduring alterations in identity as scholarly writers amongst participants. Specifically, their perceived transition into academic writers involves three aspects: knowledge of the values of scholarly publication, construction of a scholarly identity, and demystification of the publishing endeavour. This study's findings can be utilized to inform other master's and doctorate programs, as well as academic professionals seeking interventions to assist their students' productive writing.

This study investigates the experiences and opinions of senior high school students who use the Stimuler application to enhance their English-speaking abilities. Digital resources such as Stimuler provide dynamic and captivating methods for practicing speaking as technology continues to influence language acquisition. The study focuses on the way in which students believe the app improves their motivation, confidence, and fluency. 26 North Sumatra senior high school students who have used the Stimuler app in their speaking classes are the subjects of this qualitative case study. Thematic analysis was used to examine the data that was gathered through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The results prove that most students thought the Stimuler app helped them feel less anxious and enjoy speaking practice. Students' participation increased as a result of the application gamification features and real-time feedback, which enhanced their speaking abilities Nonetheless, certain obstacles were noted, including problems with internet access and comprehension of specific app functionalities. These results are consistent with Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis, which stresses the value of a low-anxiety learning environment, and Vygotsky's Constructivist Theory, which emphasizes the role of interactive tools in language learning. This study shows that the Stimuler application is a useful resource for improving students' speaking abilities, despite certain drawbacks. Enhancements like offline access and more lucid instructional guidance The findings suggest improvements such as offline access and clearer instructional support to enhance the app’s effectiveness. Future studies could examine the app's long-term effects on speaking ability as well as its use in various educational settings.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the English Central application in improving junior high school students’ speaking skills, with specific objectives to (1) enhance students’ self-confidence in oral communication, (2) improve pronunciation accuracy and intonation, (3) increase learning motivation and engagement through gamified features, (4) foster learner autonomy and flexibility, and (5) develop fluency and vocabulary acquisition through authentic video-based content. Conducted over four weeks with 15 ninth-grade students, this research employed a mixed-method approach using observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Findings indicate notable improvements across multiple aspects: 86.6% of students reported greater self-confidence in speaking, while average pronunciation scores rose from 62 to 80. Fluency was enhanced as students extended their monologues from 40 seconds to 1 minute and 25 seconds, often incorporating idiomatic expressions such as by the way and in my opinion. Gamification elements fostered motivation, with most students completing 4–5 videos weekly, while flexibility encouraged independent practice outside the classroom. Additionally, 66.6% of students demonstrated learning autonomy by reviewing materials without teacher prompts. Despite these gains, challenges such as limited device access (26.6%), unstable internet connectivity, and decreased motivation in the fifth week were recorded, highlighting the need for varied materials and adaptive strategies. Overall, the results confirm that English Central is an effective supplementary tool for enhancing students’ speaking proficiency, aligning with communicative and learner-centered teaching principles.

This study aims to explore the use of the Mondly app in improving students' English speaking skills and identify challenges that arise during its use. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 30 high school students who actively use Mondly. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis techniques, through a process of coding, categorizing, and interpreting meaning based on themes that emerged from the data. The results show that Mondly positively contributes to the development of students' speaking skills through features such as speech recognition, conversation simulations, and real-time feedback. Gamification elements and personalized learning paths increase student motivation and engagement. Three main benefits identified were: (1) reduced speaking anxiety due to a pressure-free learning environment; (2) improved pronunciation, intonation, and sentence structure through repeated practice; and (3) increased confidence in speaking English in real-life situations. However, challenges identified include dependence on internet connection, inaccurate feedback, and limitations in creating spontaneous interactions. This study recommends the integration of AI-based technologies such as Mondly in language learning to effectively support the development of oral communication
