Abstract

Technology plays a significant role in English Language Teaching during the pandemic. There are several platforms that both teachers and students need to adapt to. Google seems to have a major role in developing platforms for both teachers and students. However, among those platforms, this study focuses on the use of E-Module arranged using the Google Sites platform as supplementary material in General English classes. Google Sites was chosen as it is a web-based module that teachers can personalize to fulfill students’ needs. Since this study aims to evaluate the use of E-Module arranged using the Google Sites platform as supplementary material in General English classes at Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University, this study employed descriptive quantitative method using survey to gather the data. The population of the study was all students who enroll in General English during the academic year 2021/2022. From the population, 328 students participated in the survey. The survey questions covered learning efficiency, experience, and motivation from students’ points of view. The study findings indicated that more than half of respondents agreed that the module was very good to use without revision, which means the module was efficient, fun, and motivating. Yet, the average of 25% of each question demands minor improvement for the module as well as providing the printed version. Therefore, teachers and lecturers may use Google Sites as supplementary material. For further study, as the pandemic becomes endemic, researchers might conduct an evaluation of e-module both in online and offline classes.Keywords: E-nglish Module, Google Sites, Students’ Perspective

Abstract

Mastering speaking for dentistry students is essential both for academic and professional purposes. While technology is widely integrated into the English learning process, limited study exists on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in this case SmallTalk2Me, in English as a Foreign Language classroom. Thus, this study aims to elaborate on the use of AI to enhance dentistry students' speaking skills and to investigate its benefits on students' mastery of speaking English. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this study seeks a deeper understanding of students' speaking skills reflected in their interaction with the AI. 78 dentistry students were asked to do the speaking level test on SmallTalk2Me. The findings indicated that the majority of the students were in the intermediate level (30 students), followed by an upper intermediate level (27 students). In terms of speaking elements, the students demonstrated advanced proficiency in fluency (37 students) and grammar use (32 students). However, there is a need for improvement in terms of students' pronunciation (29 students) and vocabulary mastery (28 students), indicated by their intermediate level performance. The detailed as well as instant feedback provided by the AI highlights the AI's role in assisting the students in improving their speaking proficiency level. Additionally, it helps teachers in developing suitable lesson plans aligned with the student's proficiency level. In summary, this study emphasizes the benefits of integrating AI into the English and learning process, particularly for enhancing speaking skills among dentistry students.
