Abstract

This quantitative study investigated the impact of ChatGPT-assisted free writing on idea development in letter writing among seven 11th-grade students at SMA NAM IBS over six weeks. Using a single-group pre-test-post-test design, five assessments were conducted: a pre-test, three ChatGPT-assisted exercises, and a post-test. Descriptive statistics showed an increase in mean scores from pre-test (M = 78.43) to post-test (M = 86.00), indicating improvement. However, repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant difference (F(4, 24) = 1.43, p 0.05). This may have been due to small sample size, non-normal data, sphericity violations, and high within-subject variability. Despite the lack of statistical significance, the upward trend suggested potential benefits of ChatGPT. Further research with larger samples, improved rubrics, and adjusted statistical methods was suggested to validate ChatGPT’s effectiveness in enhancing idea development.Keywords: ChatGPT, Free Writing, Idea Development, Letter Writing

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Individual Differences (ID) on freshmen’s L2 Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning context. The study you provided explores the role of ID in determining WTC in EFL learners, emphasizing how these differences affect language proficiency and communicative competence. The main gap addressed in this study is the lack of focus on personalized language learning strategies that take into account individual differences in WTC and proficiency among EFL learners The study employs a qualitative method, data were collected through questionnaires for selective the participants by using the purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews were driven with the selected participants. The result has showed that factors such as self-confidence, motivation, language anxiety, classroom atmosphere, and peer support significantly shaped students’ WTC. Students with positive self-perception and supportive environment were likely have the L2 willingness to communicate in English. On the other hand, anxiety, fear of making mistakes, and unsupportive settings hindered participation. An effective strategy identified was personal preparation that gradually facilitated the students to the speaking opportunities and fostering a supportive and non-judgmental classroom environment. The research highlights the importance of considering individual learning characteristics in designing communicative language learning strategies to improve students speaking confidence and language acquisition outcomes. The further implications of teaching and learning process should be more open to facilitate student’s IDs and to be more personalized.

Abstract

The aims of this research are to implement a suitable teaching strategy for overcoming the students’ unconfident in writing by using quickwrite strategy and also tried to find how do the students perceive the implementation. This research employs a qualitative method which is action research. Purposive sampling was used in this reserch. The research participants were taken from students in the ninth-grade students, class five at Nongchok Phitthaya Nussorn Mattayom School, with 37 students. The instruments of the study are classroom action research with one group pretest-posttest design by using a paragraph writing test and a survey questionnaire which is the students’ satisfaction survey. The writer analyzed the data using SPSS 26 to see the total score and the range of written words. Participants' survey responses will be examined for common and recurring themes in their responses. The study's findings indicate that the Quickwrite strategy was effective in improving students' writing self-confidence because there was a development score between the pre-test, treatment 1, and post-test, which can be supported by the mean score of the written words by students in each test. The students had a good attitude and were more engaged in studying English writing with the quickwrite strategy.

Abstract

This study investigates how elementary school English teachers in Batam foster students’ autonomous writing skills in the digital era. While technology offers abundant resources, young learners often depend excessively on teacher guidance or online materials, highlighting the need for effective autonomy-supportive strategies. Using a qualitative design, data were collected from four English teachers through semi-structured and written interviews, then analyzed thematically. The findings show that teachers promote writing independence through scaffolding techniques such as structured planning, guided feedback, and reflective self-evaluation. They also cultivate metacognitive awareness to help students identify and resolve their own writing difficulties. However, limited classroom technology use and varying student motivation levels remain obstacles to developing autonomy. This study contributes to the growing literature on learner autonomy in EFL primary education by demonstrating how adaptive pedagogy can balance digital integration with self-directed learning. The results underscore the importance of reflective, flexible teaching practices that prepare students for independent writing in technology-mediated contexts.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of Google Gemini, a generative artificial-intelligence (AI) tool, on the lexical appropriateness of Indonesian EFL students’ paragraph writing. Drawing on theories of lexical richness and appropriateness, the study employed an exploratory quasi-experimental design involving three writing conditions: a baseline task, an AI-assisted revision task, and a delayed post-test without AI support. Fourteen second-year English Language Teaching students (A2–B1 CEFR) participated in the study. Lexical appropriateness was measured using Type-Token Ratio (TTR) and Measure of Textual Lexical Diversity (MTLD), and the data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA to examine differences across tasks. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in lexical diversity across the three conditions, suggesting that short-term interaction with Google Gemini did not lead to measurable improvement in lexical appropriateness. Qualitative observations further indicated that limited vocabulary depth and low metalinguistic awareness constrained students’ ability to evaluate and apply AI-generated lexical suggestions. These findings suggest that lexical appropriateness is reflective, and instruction-dependent process, and that AI tools such as Google Gemini function more as a potential scaffolding partner rather than autonomous enhancers of lexical development.

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this service program (PKM) that we have held in Taman Sari Hijau Housing aims to study the extent of the ability or competence of elementary school children in English in the housing. With a quota of 30 students, we came to the conclusion that most of the students, apart from the lack of access to English content, we also found a lack of interest in English, so the PKM that we conducted was not only about studying partner problems, but also introducing them to English and teaching with more effective methods, and the results showed that children do need a more "fun" approach than memorizing standard vocabulary, so they can use the vocabulary they have learned with more confidence. Keywords: community service; english language proficiency; interest in learning; fun learning methods Abstrak: Program pengadian kepada masyarakat (PKM) yang diselenggarakan di Perumahan Taman Sari Hijau berdasarkan pada kebutuhan dan peningkatan kemauan belajar dan juga minat dalam meningkatkan kemampuan Bahasa Inggris di lingkungan tersebut. Terdapat 30 anak-anak pada jenjang Sekolah Dasar yang menjadi peserta kegiatan ini. Berdasarkan hasil obeservasi awal ditemukan bahwa masih kurangnya akses terhadap konten pembelajaran berbahasa Inggris dan juga masih kurangnya minat anak-anak untuk belajar Bahasa Inggris. Dalam pelaksanaannya, kegiatan PKM ini dilaksanakan dengan mempelajari permasalahan mitra dan kemudian memperkenalkan dan mengimplemnetasikan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris dengan metode yang lebih efektif. Metode yang digunakan adalah Total Physical Response (TPR) yang diterapkan melalui tahapan kegiatan yang terstruktur, dimulai dari pengenalan kosakata sederhana, demonstrasi gerakan oleh pengajar, hingga praktik langsung oleh siswa melalui permainan edukatif (games). Hasil dari kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak memang membutuhkan pendekatan yang lebih “menyenangkan” dari pada penghafalan kosakata yang baku, sehingga mereka dapat menggunakan kosakata yang telah mereka pelajari dengan lebih percaya diri.
