Abstract

This conceptual framework delves into the pivotal role of project-based learning integrated with information and communication technology in improving speaking and nurturing the 4Cs skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication in the English learning process. The paper highlights the significance of speaking skills in English proficiency and the challenges students encounter in developing communication and collaborative skills. It explores the potential of project-based learning with ICT to enhance students' speaking abilities and 4Cs skills. This study integrates various theories by conducting a thorough literature review on project-based learning, ICT, speaking, and the 4Cs skills. Utilizing reputable databases, the review encompasses electronic publications from 2016 to global studies conducted up to 2023. The limitations arise from database constraints and the omission of specific disciplines and focus in EFL classrooms. The conceptual framework addresses issues of motivation, fear, time constraints, and collaboration, resulting in an enriched learning environment where students not only improve their speaking skills but also develop essential 4C skills required for success in a rapidly changing global landscape. This study presents a conceptual framework that provides a comprehensive solution to the identified problems in improving students' speaking and 4C skills. The findings suggest that PjBL and ICT integration can be an effective learning model for developing speaking performance and the 4Cs skills, offering students opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and think critically and creatively.

Abstract

This study scrutinizes the role of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing English for Communication competence among undergraduate students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, specifically focusing on students in communication study programs in Indonesia. It examines students' attitudes, perspectives, and experiences with AI tools in improving English communication skills and aims to uncover AI integration's perceived benefits and challenges. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design collected data from thirty-one undergraduate students using a Likert-scale questionnaire followed by semi-structured interviews to provide more detailed insights. Findings from the descriptive statistical analysis indicate that most students expressed positive reactions to using AI tools to support their communication competence. Students responded with benefits such as personalized learning experiences, real-time feedback, and improved interpersonal communication, public speaking, and business-related communication. However, concerns were raised regarding AI's reliability, data privacy, potential over-reliance on AI, and limited enhancement of creativity and critical thinking skills. In English classrooms, where integrating technology in language learning is increasingly prioritized, these findings suggest that AI tools can be valuable resources for developing communication skills among ESP students. To maximize their benefits, educational institutions should establish clear guidelines, promote critical engagement with technology, and provide adequate instructor support to help students navigate AI-related challenges.
