Abstract

This study investigates students' responses to utilizing discovery learning using PowToon for writing recount texts. The students' responses include four variables from Muhlisin (2018): attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction. Moreover, the challenges encountered by students are also examined. This research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach. This research focuses on tenth-grade students from a vocational high school in Cimahi. Data is gathered through questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The findings indicated that the research was well-received by the students. The methodology and instructional materials facilitated the student's comprehension of the course, leading to increased motivation in producing a well-written recount text. The integration of PowToon in teaching recount text had a favorable response from the students. They continued to have difficulties in grammar and vocabulary, as indicated by the low scores on the test results. The assessment labels most students' writing exam results as good or high percentages. The study determined that students comprehend the topic effectively using the discovery learning approach and PowToon. Keywords: challenge; discovery learning; recount text, response; writing

Abstract

This study investigated the integration of AI tools in an EFL writing classroom and their influence on developing students' critical thinking abilities. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the study lasted six weeks and included 25 university-level EFL students. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and writing task analyses were used to gain insight into how AI technologies help students with idea creation, argument formulation, writing refinement, and highlighting potential obstacles. The study found that AI technologies dramatically improved students' abilities to create cohesive arguments, fix language, and incorporate evidence into their writing. Classroom observations revealed improved involvement and cooperation as students discussed suggestions for efficiently using AI technologies. However, overreliance on AI-generated ideas was observed, particularly among less confident authors. Semi-structured interviews found that, while students liked the tools for lowering anxiety and boosting brainstorming, they understood the importance of balancing AI use with autonomous critical thinking. Writing task studies revealed significant gains in logical thinking and coherence across drafts. This study concerns the potential of AI technologies to improve critical thinking in EFL writing while emphasizing the significance of targeted educational interventions. Future studies should examine long-term effects and different settings to improve AI-supported learning environments.
