Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as Perplexity AI has been shown to improve self-confidence, academic achievement, and motivation to learn. This study aims to determine the understanding, benefits, challenges, and application of generative AI (GenAI) in education. Mixed research methods were used, with surveys and interviews involving students from Jenderal Soedirman University and Widya Mandala University. Results showed that most students understood and recognized the benefits of Perplexity AI in lectures, despite concerns over ethics, human interaction, and technology management. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of in-depth learning about the principles and ethics of AI use as well as the need for clear standards to ensure the responsible use of AI in education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the types of communication strategies used by students at Ella Private Course to overcome vocabulary limitations in English-speaking activities. This study applies the communication strategy theory proposed by Faerch & Kasper (1983) and Dörnyei (1995), focusing on achievement and reduction strategies. A case study design with a qualitative approach was used, with data collected through non-participant observation and interviews. The results show that students employed a variety of strategies, including paraphrasing, approximation, non-verbal communication, code-switching, appeal for help, and stalling as achievement strategies, as well as message abandonment and topic avoidance as reduction strategies. Among these, non-verbal communication was the most dominant strategy used. These strategies helped students maintain communication despite vocabulary gaps and reflect their adaptive efforts to stay engaged in conversation. This study highlights the importance of strategic competence in supporting students’ fluency and confidence in private English learning contexts. The study strongly emphasized that recognizing the strategies students naturally use is essential to managing vocabulary limitations in real communication contexts. Besides, the findings could assist teachers and curriculum developers design to provide more effective speaking activities to strengthen learners’ communicative competence and vocabulary mastery.   Keywords: Communication strategies; challenges; vocabulary limitation
