Abstract

This systematic investigation delves into the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational interventions with the aim of fostering lifelong learning. The study examines the efficacy of AI-driven educational interventions, addressing key challenges and ethical considerations associated with their implementation, and proposing mitigation strategies. Drawing insights from a systematic review, the research highlights the transformative potential of AI technologies in promoting lifelong learning outcomes, including increased learner engagement, enhanced knowledge retention, and improved skill acquisition. However, the investigation also uncovers challenges such as disparities in access to AI-powered learning tools, algorithmic bias and discrimination, concerns about data privacy and security, and the potential depersonalization of education. Mitigation strategies are proposed to address these challenges, including investing in infrastructure and resources for equitable access, implementing transparent data collection and reporting practices, and fostering a human-centered approach to AI in education. By prioritizing ethical principles and values, stakeholders can harness the benefits of AI-driven educational interventions while safeguarding learners' privacy, autonomy, and well-being. The findings of this investigation contribute to the ongoing discourse on the responsible integration of AI into lifelong learning frameworks, providing insights and recommendations for educators, policymakers, and technology developers striving to create inclusive and equitable learning environments in the digital age.

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted the Indonesian government through its Ministry of Education and Culture, shifting learning from classroom to online classroom. This study is a collective case study consisting of a survey analysis on students’ perceptions of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 83 students of the English Education Department at Universitas Negeri Manado participated in the study. Their perceptions of the online classroom were recorded through a survey, focusing on students’ participation, accessibility, material and assignment delivery, and the use of applications in online learning. The results were summarized into tables and narrative descriptions. This study identified three major struggles in conducting online learning, with nearly half of the respondents reporting negative perceptions. More than half of the students stated they experienced difficulties with online learning, such as poor internet signals, boredom, lack of interaction with friends, difficulty focusing on lessons, limited understanding of the material, and unsupportive learning environments due to living in villages or remote areas. This study may assist further related research and serve as a basis for consideration in improving and sustaining the teaching and learning process in the future without disadvantaging students, teachers, or parents.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of translanguaging in English language learning in one of the secondary schools in Manado, which is a multilingual environment with the use of the local language of Manado, Indonesian, and English. The main objective of the study was to understand teachers' beliefs and their translanguaging practices as language mediation strategies that support concept understanding, social interaction, and student motivation. The method used was a case study with three English teachers as participants, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The findings suggest that translanguaging serves as a cultural and cognitive bridge that facilitates students to understand the material more deeply and strengthen their linguistic identity. Despite concerns about reduced exposure to English due to the use of local languages and Indonesian, teachers use translanguaging strategically to balance learning. The main obstacles found are the limitations of school policies and teacher training that support the implementation of translanguaging. In addition, translanguaging has been shown to increase students' motivation to learn and active participation. This research recommends the development of teacher education and training policies that are responsive to language diversity, as well as the development of a curriculum that accommodates translanguaging as a legitimate learning strategy. This study makes an important contribution to the development of inclusive and contextual English language pedagogy in multilingual classrooms in Indonesia

Abstract

Language in animated films serves not only as a medium for storytelling but also as a reflection of pragmatic norms that govern social interaction. Although politeness strategies have been widely studied in natural discourse, there remains a notable gap in understanding how violations of these norms are embedded within cinematic dialogues, especially in films intended for all age groups. This study investigates the violation of politeness maxims proposed by Geoffrey Leech, including the Tact, Generosity, Approbation, Modesty, Agreement, and Sympathy maxims, as portrayed in the interactions involving Judy Hopps, the main character in Disney's Zootopia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, the research analyzes selected utterances from the movie transcript and audiovisual scenes, focusing on the types of maxims violated and the emotional responses elicited. The results indicate that all six maxims are violated by supporting characters, with the Approbation Maxim emerging as the most frequently violated, comprising 44.4 percent of cases. These violations often lead to emotional consequences for the main character such as frustration, disappointment, and a sense of exclusion. This study contributes to the field of pragmatics by highlighting how impoliteness is constructed and perceived in fictional dialogues, providing new insights into language use in media contexts. Furthermore, it emphasizes the potential of animated films as valuable resources for teaching pragmatic awareness and promoting respectful communication. By critically examining how politeness is portrayed and breached, the study calls attention to the broader implications of media discourse in shaping audience perceptions of social interaction and linguistic behavior.

Abstract

Fostering social-emotional skills has become an essential dimension of language education, yet English classrooms often prioritize linguistic proficiency while neglecting affective development. This study addresses that gap by investigating how the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model can enhance students’ social-emotional growth, particularly in empathy, confidence, and collaboration within English learning contexts. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected from nine students in the Nursing Department through interviews, focus groups, reflective journals, and classroom observations, complemented by pre- and post-surveys on social-emotional skills and English performance data. Students participated in structured STAD activities designed to promote cooperative interaction and shared accountability. The findings revealed meaningful gains in empathy as students demonstrated stronger mutual respect, actively supported peers, and showed greater sensitivity toward different abilities and perspectives. Their confidence in using English increased significantly, with participants reporting lower anxiety, greater willingness to speak, and stronger self-assurance in sharing ideas during group discussions. Collaboration also improved, as students expressed higher motivation, enjoyment in teamwork, and more active participation in achieving shared goals. Although challenges such as shyness and uneven participation emerged, these were outweighed by the positive interpersonal dynamics created by STAD. This study contributes evidence that incorporating STAD in English classrooms can simultaneously cultivate empathy, build confidence, and strengthen collaboration, creating inclusive learning environments that support both language acquisition and social-emotional development.
