The accelerated development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has had a substantial impact on educational practices, particularly in the field of English education. This study investigateshe experiences of university students at a UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu in the process of navigating English learning through AI.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of local Indonesian culture in the English for Nusantara textbook series for Junior High School. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design, data were analyzed using the cultural frameworks of Cortazzi and Jin (1999) and Yuen (2011). The findings reveal a strong dominance of local culture (Source Culture) with an average representation of 72.48%, while target culture (Target Culture) constitutes only 4.79%. The representation of local culture develops strategically across grade levels: serving as a familiar scaffold in Grade VII, a tool for civic education in Grade VIII, and a platform for global agency in Grade IX. These findings reflect a “Local-Centric with Strategic Global Awareness” model, aligning with the English as an International Language (EIL) paradigm and the glocalization objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum. The study concludes that the textbook series successfully repositions English as a tool for local expression and global engagement, detached from Western cultural hegemony.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies used by eighth-grade students at MTs Pancasila Kota Bengkulu in overcoming English speaking anxiety. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively to identify the strategies most frequently used by students in dealing with speaking anxiety. The results revealed that five strategies were identified, namely Preparation, Relaxation, Positive Thinking, Peer Seeking, and Resignation. Among these strategies, Peer Seeking was the most frequently used strategy with an average score of 85%, while Resignation was the least frequently used strategy with an average score of 69%. The findings indicate that peer support helps students increase their self-confidence, feel more comfortable, and reduce fear when speaking English in the classroom. This study concludes that social support and a positive classroom environment play an important role in helping students reduce speaking anxiety and increase their willingness to speak English.
