Although many studies focus on enhancing resource assistance and the advancement of adult learners' knowledge and abilities, there is a paucity of studies on the theoretical views that define strategies for assisting adults in learning independently. To fill this gap, this study draws on previous research to elaborate on why metacognitive strategies are suitable for adults’ self-regulated learning (SRL), and how metacognitive strategies promote SRL. As this study employed a systematic review, a rigorous search scheme was implemented across multiple databases, resulting in the selection of relevant studies based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected articles were assessed for quality, and data extraction was performed to identify key characteristics of the studies. The synthesis of the existing literature underscores the suitability of metacognitive strategies in EFL adult learners' self-regulated learning. The findings reveal that incorporating metacognitive strategies helps cultivate SRL in EFL adult learners, owing to their cognitive maturity, pre-existing knowledge, and life experiences. In addition, the metacognitive strategy helps EFL adult learners enhance their awareness of cognitive processes, regulate learning behaviours, and optimize language learning outcomes. Regarding the role, metacognitive strategy is one of the key components of SRL. Some practical recommendations are made to support teachers in facilitating adults’ self-regulated language learning.

Although Higher-Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) has currently been an ongoing topic of interest among educational researchers, there has been no wide exploration of such notion and its relation to the learning assessment. This instrumental case study aimed to investigate attitudes of Indonesian pre-service English teachers with reference to using HOTS-based test to prepare better assessment. The study was qualitatively conducted to scrutinize the participants’ attitudes on using the HOTS framework in designing more qualified assessment for students. The data were obtained through interview and questionnaire. The total of 10 preservice teachers participating in the study were purposively chosen regarding their familiarity and comprehension with the study issue. The data were analyzed by employing descriptive qualitative data analysis. The result indicated that in spite of some situational restrictions, all of the participants shared their positive attitude towards HOTS principles to be adopted in providing better assessment from the affective, behavioral and cognitive points of view due to some influencing factors. More researches on the area of HOTS and its implementation on the area of assessment were also expected to furnish more contributive information in this issue.

Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) has emerged as a valuable tool for enhancing writing and other creative activities. However, there has been limited exploration of postgraduate students' perspectives on utilizing ChatGPT within the realm of academic writing. To address this gap, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with two postgraduate students from different universities to gather their narratives and experiences regarding the integration of ChatGPT into their academic writing processes. The thematic analysis reveals that the students hold a favorable view of ChatGPT's utility in aiding their academic writing, particularly in generating ideas, creating outlines, and receiving prompt feedback on their work. Nevertheless, the findings raise concerns about the validity and reliability of the information generated, particularly regarding usage limitations. The study highlights the need for more professional development programs to enhance the digital literacy of postgraduate students by utilizing artificial intelligence. Additionally, the study's contributions are detailed, along with several recommendations for future research.
