Abstract

Background. Developing conversational fluency in English remains a persistent challenge for Indonesian university students, particularly due to limited opportunities for authentic interaction and a strong reliance on form focused classroom instruction. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the preferences of Thai This study investigates the efficacy of an AI powered chatbot in improving students’ conversational fluency within an Indonesian higher education context. The research aims to examine how AI mediated conversational interaction influences fluency development and to evaluate students’ perceptions of the chatbot as a learning tool.   Method. Quantitative data were obtained through pre  and post tests measuring speech rate, lexical richness, and utterance smoothness, while qualitative insights were collected through semi structured interviews and reflective journals Results. The findings show a statistically significant improvement in conversational fluency, with notable gains in speech rate and lexical variation. Students reported increased confidence, reduced speaking anxiety, and high levels of engagement during AI assisted practice. Conclusion. The study concludes that AI powered chatbots can serve as an effective supplementary tool for enhancing conversational fluency in EFL contexts, although long term integration requires pedagogical scaffolding and attention to ethical considerations.

Abstract

Background. Place-based learning has gained increasing attention in language education for its ability to situate meaning-making within authentic sociocultural environments. In Indonesia, the Historic Old Town of Jakarta (Kota Tua) represents a rich linguistic and cultural landscape that remains underutilized as a pedagogical resource for contextualized language learning. Purpose. This study explores the use of AR to design and implement place-based language learning activities that enhance learners’ engagement, vocabulary acquisition, and cultural awareness. Method. Employing a design-based research approach, the study involved 42 university students who completed AR-mediated tasks across selected historical landmarks. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, field observations, and semi-structured interviews. Results. The findings indicate that AR significantly increased learner engagement, facilitated more meaningful vocabulary retention, and encouraged students to make connections between linguistic input and the cultural narratives of Kota Tua. Conclusion. The study concludes that AR-enhanced place-based tasks offer a promising pedagogical model for integrating digital technologies with experiential learning in heritage settings. Further research is recommended to explore scalability, long-term learning effects, and cross-cultural applicability.

Abstract

Background. Traditional writing instruction often struggles to provide continuous feedback, individualized support, and opportunities for iterative revision, leading to gaps in students’ development of critical thinking and academic discourse skills. Generative Purpose. This study investigates the pedagogical impact of integrating ChatGPT as a collaborative writing partner in an Academic English course. Method. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study involved 36 university students who participated in a six-week intervention consisting of guided writing tasks, AI-supported drafting sessions, and reflective activities. Results. The findings indicate noticeable improvements in coherence, lexical precision, and argumentative structure, accompanied by increased student confidence and metacognitive engagement. Participants viewed ChatGPT as a supportive partner that enhanced idea generation and revision processes, although concerns regarding overreliance and critical evaluation emerged. Conclusion. The study concludes that generative AI can serve as an effective pedagogical tool when integrated with explicit instruction and human guidance.

Abstract

Background. The rise of hybrid learning models in higher education has highlighted the need for flexible, scalable, and context-aware digital learning environments capable of supporting continuous language learning beyond classroom boundaries. Purpose. This study aims to design and evaluate a cloud-based ubiquitous learning environment tailored for a hybrid university language course to enhance learner autonomy, engagement, and communicative competence.   Method. Employing a design-based research methodology, the study involved iterative cycles of analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation with 42 undergraduate language learners. Data were collected through system usage analytics, pre- and post-course proficiency assessments, and learner experience surveys. Results. The results indicate significant improvements in vocabulary retention, listening comprehension, and task-based communication skills, accompanied by increased learner satisfaction with the flexibility and responsiveness of the system. Conclusion. The study concludes that a cloud-based ubiquitous learning environment can meaningfully enhance hybrid language instruction by integrating mobility, accessibility, and real-time support into traditional course structures.
