Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, the integration of using artificial intelligence has gained significant attention, especially in English language learning study in the English Education Program at State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Parepare. This study identifies students’ perceptions on the use of Artificial Intelligence in English Language Learning and also the advantages and challenges students in State Islamic Institute (IAIN) of Parepare. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical foundation, the study focuses on two key constructs: Perceived of Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU). Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 30 participants, comprising 15 students from the 3rd semester and 15 students from the fifth semester, through structured questionnaires using a semantic differential scale. Findings reveal that students are highly useful and relatively easy to use in English language Learning. The students reported higher mean scores in both PU (4,130 = very useful) with positive perception and PEoU (4,213= very easy), reflecting their professional experience and familiarity with technology integration. Students, while positive, exhibited slight scores in both Advantages (4,283= Highly Advantages) and Challenges (4,213= Very High Challenges), highlighting variability due to differences in digital literacy and access. The study underscores the need for improvement and support in technical independence and initial learning phases.

Abstract

Achieving B2-level writing proficiency based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) remains a challenge for many EFL university students. Beyond linguistic limitations, writing anxiety encompassing somatic, cognitive, and avoidance dimensions constitutes a critical affective barrier influencing students' writing performance. This study examined the correlation between students' writing anxiety and their B2-level writing proficiency in an EFL context at a State Islamic Institute in Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 42 fourth-semester students of the English Education Program. Writing anxiety was measured using the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI), while writing proficiency was assessed through an IELTS Writing Task 2 test aligned with CEFR B2 descriptors. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The findings revealed that 85.7% of students experienced moderate anxiety, while 14.3% experienced high anxiety, with no students in the low-anxiety category. Regarding proficiency, 54.8% were at the B1 level and 45.2% reached B2. A statistically significant moderate negative correlation was found (r = −0.452, p = 0.003 < 0.05), confirming that higher writing anxiety is associated with lower B2 writing performance. The study interprets these findings through the lens of Krashen’s (1982) Affective Filter Hypothesis, Bandura’s (1997) Self-Efficacy Theory, and Sweller’s (1988) Cognitive Load Theory. Pedagogical implications encompass the adoption of low-anxiety classroom environments, process-based writing instruction, and structured feedback strategies to support CEFR-aligned writing development.
