Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of rule-based artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as Duolingo, Grammarly, Babbel, and ELSA Speak, on the English language proficiency of Thai high school students. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, data were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 30 purposively selected students who actively used AI-based language learning tools. The quantitative findings show that AI usage has a significant yet limited impact, explaining 13.8% of the variance in students’ English-speaking ability. Qualitative results revealed that students perceived AI applications as helpful for improving grammar and pronunciation, though less effective for complex language tasks requiring contextual understanding. Although the sample size restricts generalizability, this study highlights the potential of AI as a complementary tool in English learning and underscores the importance of aligning AI use with pedagogical strategies suited to the Thai educational and cultural context.

Abstract

Mastery of English speaking skills is one of the main challenges for junior high school students. Lack of self-confidence and limited vocabulary are the main obstacles to learning. This activity aims to improve junior high school students' speaking skills through an educational game approach, namely Taboo Words. This game is designed to encourage students to describe an object, word, or concept without using taboo words. The activity was carried out for 60 minutes with junior high school students divided into small groups. The results of the activity showed an increase in active student participation, additional vocabulary, and the ability to describe in English creatively.

Abstract

The use of humor in the classroom has been widely regarded as an effective pedagogical strategy to create a positive learning atmosphere, foster engagement, and reduce student anxiety. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions regarding their teachers’ use of humor during English language instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the researchers collected data through semi-structured questionnaires and follow-up interviews with 30 undergraduate students in the English Education Department at Universitas Rahiscendekia Indonesia. The findings indicate that most participants perceive humor as a helpful tool for enhancing comprehension and maintaining motivation. However, some students expressed concerns about humor that is perceived as inappropriate or excessive. The study highlights that the successful use of humor depends on teachers’ sensitivity to students’ backgrounds and the relevance of humorous content to instructional objectives. Implications suggest the importance of professional development programs to train educators in using humor effectively while maintaining classroom decorum. Additionally, the results reveal that humor contributes to building positive relationships between teachers and students, making instructors appear more approachable and supportive. This relational benefit was especially valued by learners who often experience anxiety in language classrooms. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term effects of humor on academic achievement and to explore its application across diverse cultural and educational contexts.

Abstract

Indonesian as a Foreign Language (it is usually called as BIPA – Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing) plays an essential role in introducing the Indonesian language and culture to the international community. This article discusses the basics of BIPA learning, from introducing vocabulary and common expressions used in daily communication to understanding the cultural contexts associated with the Indonesian language. With an interactive and easy-to-understand approach, this material aims to help foreign speakers communicate effectively in various social situations, such as in the workplace, education, and everyday life. It is expected that BIPA learning will accelerate the adaptation process for foreign speakers and enhance their understanding of Indonesian cultural values

Abstract

This study investigates the textual composition and its pragmatic functions within selected literary works, focusing on how language is structured and meaning is constructed in context. The phenomenon that motivates this research lies in the tendency of literary texts to be appreciated more for their aesthetic value than for their pragmatic dimensions, leaving a gap in understanding how such texts function communicatively in shaping interpretation. Previous studies, such as those by Austin (1962) on speech acts, Leech (1983) on pragmatic principles, and Rahardi (2009) on Indonesian pragmatic politeness, have highlighted the importance of pragmatic functions in discourse. However, limited attention has been given to their application in literary investigations, particularly in the Indonesian context. The problem addressed in this study is the insufficient exploration of pragmatic perspectives in analyzing textual composition in literature. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, analyzing narrative data through pragmatic theories of speech acts, politeness, and implicature. The findings reveal that literary texts demonstrate multiple pragmatic functions, including directive, expressive, and representative acts, embedded within the narrative structure. These functions not only shape character interactions but also reflect cultural and social values conveyed through the text. The study concludes that textual composition in literature operates not only as an artistic arrangement of language but also as a communicative tool that guides readers toward deeper interpretation. The results are expected to contribute to broader discussions in applied linguistics, pragmatics, and literary studies, especially in integrating linguistic and cultural perspectives.

Abstract

This research discusses the potential application of Enuma School as a tool to aid in the enrichment of Indonesian vocabulary for BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing) learners. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the interactive features and contextual content offered by the application. The analysis results indicate that Enuma School can serve as an effective alternative digital application for developing Indonesian vocabulary, enhancing BIPA students' motivation to learn through educational games, supporting independent learning, and fostering digital literacy. However, challenges such as integration with the BIPA curriculum, training for educators, evaluating the effectiveness of the application's use, and addressing technology accessibility gaps need to be considered. This study suggests that educational institutions consider using this application as part of their BIPA learning strategy to achieve better outcomes in mastering Indonesian vocabulary.
