Abstract

This research aims to investigate the perception of teachers about the use of Hume AI for assessing students’ speaking skills in senior high school. English teachers (n=4) from public senior high schools in North Sumatra participated in this study. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with semi-structured interviews and field note observations. The data was examined by using thematic analysis. The result indicated that Hume AI has a positive impact on students’ enthusiasm and interest. However, several challenges hinder the optimal use of Hume AI in speaking assessments, particularly in spontaneous speaking, including their low motivation to learn English due to socio-economic factors, and insufficient access to technological infrastructure within schools. Despite these obstacles, teachers acknowledged the potential of Hume AI to enhance speaking assessment and recommended its integration as both a learning and assessment tool. These findings offer insightful information for teachers, policymakers, and AI developers looking to implement AI-based tools in language learning and assessment practices.

Abstract

Hearing-impaired students often encounter challenges in listening comprehension due to limited access to auditory information. Interactive audio-visual learning videos have the potential to support language learning by integrating visual and textual representations that facilitate comprehension. This study aimed to explore the experiences of hearing-impaired students in using interactive audio-visual learning videos to enhance listening comprehension. This study employed a qualitative case study approach involving two eighth-grade hearing-impaired students from a public special school in Medan, Indonesia. The participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed three major themes: increased engagement and motivation, the important role of visual supports in facilitating comprehension, and challenges related to accessibility and information presentation. The participants reported that pictures, written text, and contextual visual information helped them understand English learning materials more effectively, while fast-paced content and hearing limitations remained challenges during the learning process. The findings provide insights into how interactive audio-visual learning videos support English listening instruction for hearing-impaired students and may inform teachers in designing more accessible and inclusive learning environments.
