Abstract

Quill.org is an interactive online web for grammar exercises tool that is believed can helped the students master grammar well. This study observed the effect of Quill.org as a tool in Task-Based Language Teaching to enhance students’ simple sentence mastery for creating descriptive writing. Two classes underwent a three-session descriptive text writing unit using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. While the control group received conventional training, the experimental group used Quill.org. Writing samples were used to assess sentence completeness, grammatical accuracy, and structural clarity. The findings showed that students in the experimental group produced grammatically correct short sentences at a statistically significant increase (p < 0.01), and that learners' opinions of Quill.org were favorable, describing it as helpful and boosting confidence. The results demonstrate the advantages of using specially designed digital resources into writing instruction to support student confidence, accuracy, and clarity in EFL contexts.

Abstract

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has brought up both  new opportunities and difficulties in language instruction. This study investigates ESP teachers’ views on AI integration, focusing on teachers’ readiness, perceived advantages, and encountered obstacles in ESP instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six ESP teachers from public and private universities and polytechnics in East Java, Indonesia. The participants were purposively chosen based on their experience in teaching ESP and exposure to AI-assisted learning approaches. Data were examined thematically using  Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. The results show that teachers generally interpret AI as pedagogically beneficial for improving instructional efficiency, generating contextualized ESP materials, providing rapid feedback, and supporting students’ autonomous learning. However, teachers’ readiness for AI integration remains conditional and influenced by AI literacy, pedagogical considerations, ethical concerns, academic integrity, and institutional support. The study also identifies several obstacles, including student overreliance on AI, inaccuracies and hallucinations in AI-generated content, limited infrastructure, and the absence of clear institutional policies regarding AI use in academic settings. The study highlights the importance of AI literacy, ethical guidelines, and institutional support to ensure responsible and pedagogically meaningful AI integration in ESP education.
