Abstract

This study investigates the perspectives of teachers and students on the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous learning approaches in enhancing English speaking skills, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. Conducted in a junior high school setting in Indonesia, the research employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through semi-structured interviews with three teachers and three students. Thematic analysis was applied to explore patterns and themes in participants' responses. The findings reveal that synchronous learning fosters real-time interaction, enhancing vocabulary acquisition and comprehension through immediate feedback. However, challenges such as grammatical inaccuracies and low student confidence persist. Asynchronous learning provides students with the flexibility to refine their tasks, improving grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but lacks the immediacy of feedback essential for addressing comprehension and pronunciation errors in real-time. The study underscores the complementary nature of these modalities, highlighting the potential of a blended or bichronous approach to optimize learning outcomes. The research contributes to the discourse on distance education by offering practical insights into integrating synchronous and asynchronous learning for language instruction. Recommendations include strategic lesson planning, teacher training in digital tools, and addressing infrastructural challenges to ensure equitable access. The study also suggests further exploration of bichronous learning models and their impact on long-term language proficiency. This research provides valuable guidance for educators and policymakers aiming to enhance English language education in digital and hybrid learning environments.

Abstract

This study explores how virtual human-based artificial intelligence can be used to enhance the promotional strategies of tourism spots in Indonesia. As digital technologies rapidly evolve, these destinations need to adopt innovative solutions to enhance their appeal and sustainability. We examine the potential of integrating virtual human AI to enhance the image and promotion of these destinations on digital platforms, employing a qualitative approach. This involves analyzing case studies of several Indonesian tourism spots that have embraced digital technology for management and promotion. Data were gathered from various academic sources, including journals, research reports, and digital publications on digital technology in tourism. Our analysis highlights emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities for integrating virtual human AI into destination management and marketing. Virtual human AI can enhance visitor interactions by offering personalized and innovative experiences. It can also create compelling virtual representations, improve data management, and expedite decision-making in promotional strategies. Nonetheless, challenges such as infrastructure limitations and the need to raise awareness among tourism managers remain. This discussion offers valuable insights into how digital technology can help shape destination identity and attract more tourists, emphasizing the importance of building human resource capacity to make the most of these new tools. Ultimately, this research aims to serve as a helpful reference for developing technology-driven destination promotion in Indonesian tourism destinations.
