Coldplay's featuring BTS 'My Universe’ is undeniably one of those rare gems. At its core, this song is a symphony of emotions, a melodic embrace during times of turmoil.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in English Language Teaching (ELT), offering innovative tools to enhance proficiency across writing, speaking, listening, and reading skills. However, despite increasing interest, systematic investigations into how AI is currently applied and the challenges it presents in ELT remain scarce. This systematic literature review (SLR) critically synthesizes 35 peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025, selected from Scopus and SINTA 2-indexed journals using PRISMA guidelines and predefined inclusion criteria. The analysis identifies five categories of AI applications in ELT—pronunciation enhancement, writing assistance, speaking practice, listening comprehension, and personalized learning—alongside tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, ELSA Speak, and Duolingo. These tools demonstrate measurable improvements in learners’ linguistic accuracy, fluency, and engagement. Nonetheless, the review highlights persistent challenges, including teacher dependency, ethical concerns, limited contextual awareness by AI systems, fluctuating student motivation, and infrastructure constraints. To address these issues, the study underscores the importance of establishing ethical standards, expanding teacher training, ensuring equitable technological access, and encouraging the development of culturally adaptive AI systems. Cross-sector collaboration among educators, researchers, developers, and policymakers is vital to fully realize the pedagogical potential of AI in English language education.

Abstract

Encouraging students to repeatedly read and listen to resources can be challenging for language teachers. Although students understand that reading and listening are essential for language acquisition, few spend their free time engaging in these activitiesStudents often remain passive and hesitant to read or listen to English texts on their own due to a lack of understanding of the additional benefits, insufficient guidance on choosing appropriate texts for their proficiency level, and ingrained habits. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of the Online Extensive Reading and Listening (OERL) program on students' reading and listening comprehension. Additionally, it sought to assess the variations in students' performance following exposure to the OERL intervention. This quasi-experimental research utilized a pretest-posttest design, involving sixty eleventh-grade students from a senior high school in Banjarbaru, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved administering reading and listening comprehension tests, and MANCOVA test was employed for data analysis. Results indicated a significant positive impact of the OERL program on enhancing students' reading and listening comprehension. Furthermore, noteworthy differences were observed in the reading and listening achievements of students exposed to the OERL program compared to those receiving intensive reading and listening with teacher-selected texts, with a significance level of 0.000. In essence, the OERL program proved valuable in improving students' reading and listening comprehension.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Real-life observation has shown that second language (L2) learners differ in their L2 learning process in which this individual difference is virtually related to the factors influencing second language acquisition. Many researchers have been interested in finding those factors, yet there is still a little study examining the impact of language ego as the affective factor. Thus, this paper aims to elaborate on how the language ego influences second language acquisition. By having a thorough understanding of language ego in L2 learning, it is expected that it can give some enlightenment to a better learning process for L2 learners.To provide an adequate explanation of language ego, this paper uses a literature review. This method is used to aggregate empirical findings related to a narrow research question which is the language ego as one of the affective factors influencing second language acquisition. Some previous studies that discuss a similar topic are collected, and the data is analyzed in accordance with the objective of this paper.As one of the affective factors, language ego is a psychological state of a learner in which it refers to the identity that a person develops in reference to the language. In this paper, it is hypothesized that the language ego influences second language acquisition in positive correlation when the focus is the permeability of the language ego. The permeability shows how the ego can be flexible and adaptable to the second language. The higher the learner’s language ego permeability is, the higher the learner’s chance of successful second language acquisition is.
