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.

Abstract

Academic resilience is a crucial attribute for students in health-related disciplines to adapt and thrive amid high academic and clinical demands. Objective: This study aims to analyze the level of academic resilience among final-year students across various health disciplines, identify variations in resilience levels, and explore the implications for developing more targeted academic support and mental health interventions. Method: This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire adapted from a validated scale, the Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-6). The study population consisted of 272 final-year undergraduate and diploma students from nine health-related study programs at a private higher education institution in Indonesia, selected through convenience sampling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. Results: The findings indicate that the majority of respondents (84.92%) demonstrated high levels of academic resilience. Male students tended to exhibit higher mean resilience scores (38.15) and more stable distributions compared to female students (35.15). In terms of study programs, undergraduate Dentistry and diploma Midwifery recorded the highest average resilience scores, whereas undergraduate Nursing and undergraduate Pharmacy showed the lowest. Conclusion: Although most final-year students in health-related programs exhibit high academic resilience, significant variations exist across study programs and between genders.
