Abstract

This chapter review will discuss the current topic in chapter 6 from a book entitled “The Routledge Handbook of Materials Development for Language Teaching-Routledge” Edited by Julie Norton and Heather Buchanan. The selection of grammar and the selection of vocabulary for the creation of English Language Teaching (ELT) course books have been the two main topics of this chapter. Given the homogeneity of many published materials, it is simple to believe that the subject of "what" to teach to EFL students has long since been resolved. Instead, research should concentrate on the "how" of ELT, or pedagogy, in particular, and how this might be reflected in materials design. This assumption, however, would be inaccurate for two reasons. First of all, especially in the case of language, we have inherited a consensus whose development has generally taken place outside of the purview of empirical study and has been somewhat "piecemeal." Second, a variety of fiercely disputed aspects of contemporary research, including initiatives like the English Profile, imply that it might be time to review and revise the "what" of ELT.

Abstract

This study sought to determine whether teaching tenses using grammar exercises will enhance the student's writing skills in terms of language use, content, and structure. The seven-nucleus approach is being used at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar. This approach is a way to memorize tenses using seven certain verbs in English which are present, past, perfect, future, modal, and continues verbs. The current study employed a pre-experimental design with a single group for the pre and post-tests. The sample only included one class of 10 pupils, chosen using the technique of cluster sampling. The results demonstrated that the student’s writing ability had improved. It was three indicators of progress: language use had improved by 22.96%; content had improved by 12.3%; and organization had improved by 22.83%. The overall improvement was 19.48%. When compared to the pretest before the treatment, the student's writing competence was 1950 on the posttest, and the value of the t-test (7.440) was higher than the t-table (2.262). The research concluded that the use of seven Nucleus was beneficial in improving students' skills of writing in terms of the language writing content, and organization at Cambridge English College (CEC) Makassar based on its findings and discussion.

Abstract

This study attempts to quantify the washback effect of the intense TOEFL training program in order to inspire students' learning through improved test scores. The TOEFL results can then be used for academics objectives and faculty requirements. The study was experimental and included a paired-sample t-test and qualitative descriptive design through interviews (a mixed method). Forty (40) students were chosen from any of the departments at IAIN Parepare to participate, and this was done through pretest, treatments, and posttest. The pre-test and post-test employed in the research procedure were both used to determine the students' beginning scores as well as their final scores. The paired-sample t-test in SPSS is then used to assess the data gathered from the pre-test and post-test. The participants are questioned based on the program's experiences in order to acquire information about the students' learning motivation. The outcome revealed that there were sizable variations between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students. It was evident that participants' total TOEFL scores had improved as a result of the intense training. Also, the data from interview illustrated that the students were well-motivated during the training program. This program can enable the participants to have good self-study, nice self-learning preparation, and more desirably confident to learn English or TOEFL.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how 8th-semester English Education (PBI) students at IAIN Parepare conducted a semiotic analysis of the song A Million Dreams, performed by Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams, and to understand their perceptions of the educational values within the lyrics. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research involved 30 randomly selected students as participants. Data were collected through interviews and voice recordings. The findings revealed that students identified various types of semiotic signs in the lyrics: one lyric represented an icon, six were categorized as indices, and three were recognized as symbols. Regarding educational values, students highlighted several moral lessons conveyed through the song. The values identified included religiousness (1 student), responsibility (6), hard work (13), friendliness (4), appreciation (1), creativity (11), love for reading (7), environmental awareness (2), peace (2), independence (4), curiosity (2), and discipline (2). These responses suggest that A Million Dreams contains a wide range of educational messages that resonate differently with each student, with hard work and creativity being the most frequently recognized. The study underscores the song’s effectiveness in communicating positive values through music and lyrical content.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of science students in using artificial intelligence (AI) technology as an assistive medium in learning English. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, conducted at STKIP Darud Da’wah Wal Irsyad (DDI) Pinrang. The study participants consist of eight students from various science study programs who have used AI applications such as Grammarly, ChatGPT, and Duolingo as part of their learning process. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and then analyzed thematically using Braun & Clarke’s approach. The findings indicate that AI serves as an adaptive learning facilitator, enhances learning autonomy, and promotes the development of writing and speaking skills in English. Students expressed positive responses towards AI due to its ability to provide instant feedback and personalization features. However, challenges were also identified, including AI’s limitations in understanding specific scientific terms and technical obstacles related to interface and internet connectivity. This study concludes that AI is effective as a learning companion for English language acquisition among science students, but its use needs to be supported by curriculum integration and continuous lecturer guidance.

Abstract

This study examines physics and mathematics education students’ feedback on the implementation of AI enhanced Computer Assisted Language Instruction in teaching English for Sciences. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, understanding students’ experiences in using AI supported language learning within discipline specific contexts is essential for effective pedagogical development. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving twenty undergraduate students consisting of ten physics education students and ten mathematics education students at STKIP DDI Pinrang. Data were collected through semi structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in student responses. The findings indicate that students generally have positive perceptions of AI enhanced CALI in English learning. They value features such as personalized feedback, accessibility, and support for vocabulary development and basic grammar. However, several limitations were identified, particularly in the ability of AI to explain discipline specific concepts and support advanced academic writing and scientific communication. Differences in responses were also influenced by students’ levels of English proficiency and familiarity with digital technology. This study concludes that AI enhanced CALI has strong potential to improve English for Sciences instruction when supported by appropriate pedagogical strategies and human interaction. The findings contribute to the development of technology integrated ESP learning and provide insights for optimizing AI use in higher education contexts.
