Abstract

This study investigates the role of teacher support in shaping English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ motivation through a structured literature review. Psychological and social factors, especially teacher support, are critical in enhancing student motivation, particularly in settings where learners face anxiety or low confidence. The review focuses on three core types of teacher support, emotional, academic, and autonomy-supportive and their contributions to student engagement and language learning motivation. Ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2014 and 2025 were analyzed using thematic content analysis to identify patterns in findings, methods, and cultural contexts. Results show that teacher support consistently enhances motivation, with integrated support having the strongest impact. The novelty of this study lies in its cross-cultural synthesis and emphasis on the need for integrated and longitudinal approaches. Findings suggest that teacher training programs should adopt holistic strategies to foster and maintain student motivation in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to influence academic writing practices, particularly among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in higher education. This study investigated Indonesian EFL students’ perceptions of AI use in academic writing, focusing on perceived benefits, learning risks, ethical awareness, fairness concerns, and recommendations for lecturers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire containing both close-ended and open-ended items, and responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results show that students generally view AI tools as helpful for improving clarity, vocabulary, and writing confidence, while also acknowledging risks related to overreliance, reduced critical thinking, and the potential for plagiarism. Students demonstrated considerable ethical awareness but expressed concerns about biased AI detectors, unclear institutional policies, and fairness in assessment. They also recommended that lecturers provide clear guidelines on acceptable AI use, balance AI-assisted tasks with manual writing, and apply consistent monitoring practices to maintain academic integrity. Overall, the findings highlight the need for balanced instructional strategies and explicit policy frameworks to ensure responsible and equitable use of AI in EFL academic writing contexts.
