Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning has shifted attention from technological utility to the enactment of learner autonomy. This study describes and compares how senior high school students demonstrate autonomous learning behaviours when using ChatGPT in English classrooms. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a comparative classroom observation strategy, the study was conducted at SMA 3, SMA 4, and SMA 5 Banda Aceh. Data were collected using an observation sheet covering ten indicators of learner autonomy and analysed through a four-point rubric. The findings showed noticeable differences across the three schools. SMA 3 demonstrated the highest autonomy level (82.5%), characterised by initiative, goal setting, persistence, and metacognitive awareness. SMA 4 showed a moderate level (55%), with students displaying persistence and feature exploration but remaining dependent on teacher instruction. SMA 5 showed the lowest level (37.5%), with students appearing passive, hesitant, and limited in independent reflection. The findings suggest that ChatGPT may create opportunities for independent language practice, but autonomy does not emerge automatically. Pedagogical guidance remains necessary to help students move from teacher-dependent AI use toward strategic, reflective, and self-regulated learning.

Abstract

Multimedia technology integration has grown in popularity in the ever-changing field of modern education, providing a more comprehensive method of instruction. Three English instructors at an Islamic Senior High School in Aceh Besar provided the data for this study, which used a qualitative methodology, between January 22 and 27, 2024. The interview and observation guide sheet were constructed based on Pun (2013) about the advantages and disadvantages of the use of multimedia technology in English language teaching.  Data analysis from observation and interviews was done qualitatively. The results show that Class 1 was taught by T1 whose focused on teaching grammar skill to 19 students of the first grade of senior high school. The results of the quiz showed that there were 3 students who got low scores (60,50,40), 7 students got 75-85 and 9 students were all correct (100). Class 2 shows that T2 taught speaking skills through a YouTube channel and 22 students were participating in the class. Class 3 shows that teacher teaches reading skills employed an online reading website named "Perussall”
