Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using DeepSeek AI as a translation tool on students' reading comprehension. This study was motivated by the difficulties experienced by 10th-grade students at MA Unggulan K.H. Abd. Wahab Hasbulloh in understanding English texts. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test–post-test model and involved 35 students selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was a 20-item multiple-choice test, which had been tested for validity using Aiken's V formula and reliability using Cronbach's Alpha. The results showed that the instrument had very high validity and strong reliability (α = 0.896). The normality test showed that the pre-test data was normally distributed, while the post-test data was not, so the analysis of score differences was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The test results showed a significance value of < 0.001, indicating a significant effect in students' reading comprehension after using DeepSeek AI. These findings prove that DeepSeek AI can help students understand texts better through accurate and contextual translations, thereby facilitating the process of interpreting and understanding the content of the reading material. Thus, this study concludes that DeepSeek AI is effective as a translation tool on students' reading comprehension. The integration of artificial intelligence technology in English language learning can be an alternative solution to support the strengthening of students' literacy and reading strategies in the digital age.

Abstract

English proficiency has become an essential skill in the era of globalization, encouraging higher education institutions to implement various programs to improve students’ communicative competence. One such initiative is the English Day program, which requires students to actively use English in academic and social contexts. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of their language experiences in English Day activities and examine how these experiences influence English fluency at KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah University Tambakberas Jombang. This study employed a qualitative research design involving 20 students from the English Department who participated in the English Day program. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns, themes, and tendencies related to the impact of English Day and the factors influencing its effectiveness. The findings indicate that students generally perceive English Day as a positive and enjoyable learning experience. The program contributes to increased speaking confidence, higher motivation, and improved vocabulary mastery. A supportive campus environment, peer collaboration, lecturer and committee support, and the use of learning media such as ECHOES were identified as key supporting factors. However, limited vocabulary remains a major challenge for some students in expressing ideas fluently. Overall, the study concludes that English Day provides meaningful language experiences that support the development of English fluency when implemented in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Students’ perceptions play a crucial role in evaluating and improving the effectiveness of English Day programs in higher education.
