Abstract

English has long been recognized as the dominant international language in various aspects of global life, from international communication and higher education to mastery of technology and science. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of AI in developing early English language teaching materials and identify its opportunities and challenges in early childhood education. This research method uses a quantitative approach. The sample of this study included 10 teachers at TKIT Model Madani Arrahman Pekanbaru City. The results show that teachers at TKIT Model Madani Arrahman Pekanbaru have sufficient initial knowledge of AI technology, although it is still limited to general use and has not been fully directed at developing teaching materials. AI is considered to play a role in helping teachers create more varied, interesting, and enjoyable English teaching materials for early childhood. However, the implementation of AI still faces technical obstacles, limited resources, and the need to adapt content to the characteristics of early childhood. Thus, AI has great potential in supporting the development of early childhood English teaching materials, but it needs to be supported by training, infrastructure, and strengthening teacher capacity for optimal and contextual implementation.

Abstract

Malay culture-based contextual learning is a meaningful learning experience in supporting children's social development. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Malay culture-based contextual learning in improving social skills. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study were children aged 5-6 years in Rumbai District, Pekanbaru City. The research sample used purposive sampling consisting of 50 children from two institutions, namely Dayyinah Kids Kindergarten and Asri Kindergarten. The results showed that the average value of the experimental class was from 58.44% to 75.80%. Malay culture-based contextual learning in the experimental class was better than the control class without treatment where the average value was 57.88% to 61.12%. The results of the hypothesis test stated that Malay culture-based contextual learning through interactive media had a significant effect on children's social skills, seen from the Sig. (2-tailed) value for the results of the experimental class and control class hypotheses were 0.000 <0.05. Thus, the hypothesis Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that contextual learning based on Malay culture has a positive effect on the social skills of children aged 5-6 years.
