Grammar overall, is a challenging language skill. Even experienced English lecturers may face difficulties in explaining grammar to students. Grammar is the primary skill to be developed when learning English as a foreign language. Yet, when other languages' skills gained more attention, grammar came to be seen as the least important skill. Without using proper assessment to reduce student understanding, this is frequently explained in a straightforward manner by means of other skills. This study focuses on the challenges English language teachers use when teaching grammar at the second-grade level. In this essay, every single English language teacher participates. The researchers interviewed them, copied, and analysed the data obtained from the interview. Problems and difficulties of students are no less important for lecturers to know in teaching grammatical structures. In this case, English lecturers are challenged to find more strategic and creative ways of teaching grammar. Mastery of good grammar guarantees students' ability to master other skills such as writing and speaking. Due to this, the study may benefit other English language teachers and lead to new ideas for addressing the problem at hand. Everyone agreed that she experienced three challenges while they were learning grammar. This study can be a good reference for other English lecturers and students, and parents in overcoming these challenges.

This study investigates the challenges faced by English Education students at Universitas Pendidikan Muhammadiyah Sorong due to deficiencies in foundational English skills, focusing on their confidence and classroom management during teaching practicums. The research has three primary objectives: to identify specific challenges, analyze the impact of these deficiencies on students' confidence and classroom management abilities, and propose effective interventions. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from sixth-semester students through structured surveys and self-report questionnaires, which assessed perceived challenges, confidence levels, and classroom management skills. The findings revealed significant difficulties in vocabulary (72%), grammar (65%), pronunciation (58%), listening comprehension (60%), and speaking fluency (70%), compounded by limited exposure to English-speaking environments. A strong correlation was found between low English proficiency and decreased self-confidence, with 68% of respondents feeling unprepared to manage classrooms effectively. To address these challenges, the study proposes targeted interventions, including enhanced language support programs, peer mentoring, simulation activities, regular feedback mechanisms, and workshops on classroom management. These recommendations aim to improve the teaching practicum experience for English Education students, ultimately fostering their professional development and effectiveness as future educators.

In an era where English proficiency dictates global academic and professional mobility, mastering the TOEFL Reading section remains a significant hurdle for many Indonesian EFL learners. Despite familiarity with widely endorsed strategies such as skimming, scanning, and vocabulary enhancement, consistent application under exam pressure remains elusive. This study addresses a critical gap in existing research by investigating not only the types of challenges faced by TOEFL takers but also the cognitive and strategic dissonances that hinder their performance. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected quantitative data from the reading scores of 15 test-takers at an English Language Center in Tondano, North Sulawesi, and complemented it with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal persistent difficulties in time management, complex vocabulary processing, and inference-based questions, despite students’ awareness of effective strategies. Notably, the study uncovers that the mere knowledge of techniques is insufficient without strategic internalization, adaptive focus, and real-time cognitive flexibility. Students identified vocabulary expansion, active reading, and timed practice as the most impactful strategies, yet gaps between awareness and execution remain. The study’s contribution lies in offering a nuanced understanding of these strategic breakdowns and advocating for targeted pedagogical interventions, including strategy-focused curricula and individualized practice modules. These findings hold wider implications for TOEFL preparation programs, suggesting the need for personalized, cognition-aware teaching models that not only transmit strategies but also cultivate their consistent application in high-stakes contexts.

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.
