Abstract

This study aims to find out how teachers implement the concept of gamification with the Gimkit platform and students' experiences of using the Gimkit platform as a formative assessment tool in English language learning. This research was conducted in a high school in Madiun, Indonesia. The research started from a case study where the researcher found that many students did not want to participate in formative assessment activities because they thought that the atmosphere during formative assessment with traditional methods would only make students afraid and unable to focus on the questions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 students and 1 English teacher to collect data, and the data obtained was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study show that teachers have several reasons related to the use of Gimkit, the first is because of technological advances, and the utilisation of facilities, teachers also provide information related to how to implement the Gimkit platform from the initial stage to the assessment stage, teachers also tell how students react when implementing formative assessment using Gimkit which has a positive impact because students become more interested in the activity, feel relaxed when working, and students can learn new English vocabulary from Gimkit., the use of Gimkit was also considered easy by students both in terms of preparation and use during formative assessment, the use of Gimkit also had a positive influence on students because students felt that when using Gimkit they experienced increased motivation and gained new knowledge.

Abstract

Language learners utilize vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) to learn new words. Although VLS was widely used, there was a lack of research about how it was utilized by students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This case study sought to analyze the VLS, especially the discovering strategy, employed by four primary school students with ASD. Schmitt's taxonomy framework was used in this study. A case study methodology was employed in this study. An observation lasting nine months, four weeks in a month, and four hours in a day was conducted due to the inability of those students to fill out the questionnaire, which was often a requirement in previous studies. Furthermore, the interviews with teachers enhanced and elucidated the findings. The data were encoded utilizing a blend of bottom-up (inductive) and top-down (deductive) methodologies and analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicate that students with ASD utilize the strategy groups according to Schmitt's taxonomy. They learn and understand new English vocabulary through determination and social strategies. This study emphasizes that students with ASD also utilize additional strategies not specified in Schmitt's taxonomy and cannot learn new English vocabulary independently. The teacher's intervention is necessary. This paper presents the practical implications of the findings for teachers who work with students with ASD. Additionally, the necessity for further research in this area is discussed.

Abstract

English proficiency can enhance non-native speakers' educational experience by providing them access to a wide range of materials, international conferences, and chances for collaboration. However, acquiring a language can present significant challenges, especially for people who are not native English speakers and those who enter the education system from other nations. The utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and fully automated interactive spoken language (SDS) has the potential to enhance student engagement and facilitate improvements in oral contact and communication. The Chatbot feature of ChatGPT, an AI website, has the potential to enhance language learning by promoting active participation and improving educational achievements. Nevertheless, the efficacy of ChatGPT in catering to the needs of second language (L2) learners can be constrained by their distinct linguistic demands. This project aims to investigate the capacity of ChatGPT to produce reference dialogues tailored for advanced English learners and examine the potential enhancement of dialogue quality through prompting strategies. This study used a mixed method study, which distributed a survey questionnaire and conducted semi-structured interviews with the responders to determine the best prompting technique used in ChatGPT for generating reference dialogue.  Then, the finding of this research showed that most students had a positive perception of using ChatGPT to generate dialogue references. However, some of them had a negative perception in some parts of using ChatGPT to generate dialogue references. Furthermore, ChatGPT was valuable and helpful in generating dialogue references, which helped the students be more confident when they wrote a conversational dialogue.

Abstract

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is needed for students to use various learning strategies. As one of instruments in cognitive and behavioural SRL, language learning strategies (LLS) and attributions are deemed to possess commands that enhance second/foreign language (L2) learning processes. However, several issues were highlighted in regards to the LLS taxonomy and its instrumentation, Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). Due to definitional fuzziness of the LLS taxonomy and inadequacy of psychometric instruments of SILL, this study was carried specifically using the Self-regulating Capacity (SRC) construct. In addition, empirical evidence on links between students’ attributions and SRC to their L2 achievement is still lacking. This study was attempted to examine the association between SRC and learning attributions to English achievement. This research was conducted quantitatively with a cross-sectional design. The SRC Scale and Language Achievement Attribution Scale (LAAS) were administered to 319 Indonesian EFL high school students. Data analyses of participants’ responses on both questionnaires were concluded in the following three major findings. First, descriptive analysis showed that out of SRC categories, Indonesian EFL students employed environmental control with the highest capacity during English learning. Second, in perceiving learning success or failure, Indonesian EFL attributed their English achievement due to internal causes (i.e., ability, effort and mood) rather than to external causes (i.e., task difficulty, teacher, and luck factors). Third, regression analysis revealed that SRC and learning attributions explained 74% variance of English achievement. Further, implications for future research and education practice were provided.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology has made an earth-shattering innovation take the world by storm: Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to determine the perceptions and practices of teachers and students in using AI in the classroom. Four university teachers and 30 students were sent questionnaires, and four teachers and 23 students were given online structured interviews.  The results stated that in the student group, as many as 24 respondents (80%) had a good perception of AI, and six respondents (20%) had an excellent perception of AI. Meanwhile, in the teacher group, three respondents (75.0%) had a favorable perception, and one teacher respondent (25.0%) had a very favorable perception of AI. This result is also reinforced by the practice of students' and teachers' perspectives of AI, which state that AI is beneficial in eliciting students’ responses, attracting students’ attention, and increasing their motivation and creativity. Nevertheless, AI is just an intelligent tool; no matter how excellent and optimal the tool is, how much potential humans can utilize depends on the use and the user himself.

Abstract

Digital literacy practices are a current issue and exciting topic, mainly for two reasons: many activities are integrated with digital technology, and one of them is English language teaching, which requires technological innovation to improve English language achievement. This study describes how English language teachers can develop and implement digital literacy practices in English classes. Qualitative research is the methodology utilised in this study, employing online interviews and questionnaires as the research tools. The study results show that many participants want to implement digital literacy practices in English classes. They must make digitally comprehensive preparations, practical implementation, and comprehensive assessments. There are some steps to implement digital literacy practices in English language teaching: adoption, adaptation, application, CALL, and MALL. So, English language teachers should follow five steps to implement digital literacy practices in English classes. The five steps are in line with preparation, implementation, and assessment. Digital literacy practices encourage English language teachers to improve and integrate their English language knowledge, skills, and character day by day. Digital literacy practices help English language teachers develop comprehensive preparation, efficient implementation, and comprehensive assessment more efficiently.
