Abstract

This study evaluated the readiness of English lecturers at the Darussalam Polytechnic to face the transformation of digital learning in the 5.0 era. Using a retrospective case study approach, this study identified the factors that affect lecturers' readiness and the challenges they face in adopting digital technology in teaching. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations, which were analyzed using descriptive and thematic analysis techniques. The study results showed that English lecturers at the Darussalam Polytechnic have a positive attitude towards digital learning and show an increase in technological literacy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the limitations of technological infrastructure and the need for continuous training remained significant challenges. This study concluded that lecturers' readiness to face digital transformation was quite significant, but it still needed to be improved through infrastructure improvement, continuous training, and institutional support. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the development of educational policies and teaching practices at the Darussalam Polytechnic and other higher education institutions in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has transformed English language teaching, particularly in developing students’ speaking proficiency. This study explores English lecturers’ perceptions of AI use in speaking instruction at STIAB Smaratungga Boyolali, a Buddhist higher education institution in Central Java, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with a phenomenological approach, five lecturers were purposively selected as participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that lecturers generally hold positive perceptions of AI, recognizing its role in enhancing students’ confidence, fluency, and pronunciation, while emphasizing that AI functions as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for teachers. Lecturers also identified challenges, including limited infrastructure, ethical concerns, and the need for digital literacy and pedagogical training. AI-assisted activities, such as self-practice, chatbot conversations, and project-based learning, were found to foster autonomous learning and active student engagement. This study contributes to the understanding of the pedagogical potential and limitations of AI in English-speaking instruction, offering insights for curriculum design, teacher development, and the responsible integration of technology in higher education.
