Abstract

This study explored English teachers' views on incorporating local legends into lessons in West Kalimantan and how AI may help incorporate local legends and engage students using a survey approach. Data were collected from 24 teachers using purposive sampling. The survey revealed that while 70.8% of teachers expressed an interest in using local legends, only 4.2% regularly integrated them into their teaching, indicating a gap between enthusiasm and practice. Although half of the teachers believed that local legends could enhance student engagement, few considered them extremely effective, suggesting the need for more evidence of their impact. Barriers to the use of local legends include limited resources, lack of knowledge, time constraints, and varying student interests. This study highlights the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in overcoming these challenges by providing resources, diversifying materials, and streamlining lesson planning. AI could bridge the gap between teachers' interest in local narratives and their actual use, promoting a more engaging, culturally relevant learning environment. However, the study's small sample size and short data collection period limited the generalizability of the findings. Future research should involve a larger, more diverse sample and longer data collection to provide more comprehensive insights.

Abstract

Writing instruction in Indonesian vocational education faces significant challenges in engaging students and providing personalized feedback, yet limited empirical research has examined systematic ChatGPT integration in vocational English contexts. This classroom action research investigated and successfully improved tenth-grade students' writing skills at SMK Amaliyah Sekadau through systematic ChatGPT implementation following Kemmis and McTaggart's model across three instructional cycles. Twenty-six Computer and Network Engineering students participated, with data collected through observation checklists, field notes, writing assessment rubrics, and student response questionnaires. Results demonstrated a 37-percentage-point cumulative improvement from baseline 42.4% to post-Cycle 3 79.0% across five writing components: content, vocabulary, grammar, spelling, and mechanics. Student engagement increased significantly, with 85% expressing enhanced motivation and 88% perceiving ChatGPT as highly useful for writing development. This study revealed that systematic ChatGPT integration provided immediate personalized feedback, enhanced learner autonomy, and improved writing competence in vocational contexts, contributing empirical evidence for AI-infused English language teaching aligned with Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum framework.

Abstract

Healthcare students at Poltekkes Pontianak face significant challenges in achieving the mandated TOEFL score of 400 necessary for graduation. This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of integrating structured online coaching with mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) applications to enhance TOEFL preparation outcomes. The study employed Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical action research model over 12 weeks, involving 30 healthcare students. Data collection included pre-, mid-, and post-tests, mobile application engagement logs, reflection journals, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and Pearson correlation analysis, while qualitative data underwent thematic coding. Results indicated significant improvements in TOEFL performance, with mean scores increasing from 332.17 (SD=11.24) to 397.67 (SD=15.83), representing a gain of 65.50 points (t(29)=28.45, p
