Abstract

The content of this book is intended to address difficulties about teaching technique limits and instructor flexibility when teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to DHH students. This book focuses on conceptual overviews of the importance of inclusive English learning for all students, especially DHH pupils. The authors give two parts of primary research reports on the use of various English learning strategies for DHH learners in diverse circumstances, as well as theoretical studies on approaches to learning strategies appropriate for DHH learners from various perspectives. The initial chapter in this book examines comprehensive input strategies and treatments, including a review of the principles and theories that serve as the foundation for language learning for students with special needs. In the second section, the authors present some research findings on the circumstances and outcomes of teaching EFL to DHH learners.

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 aims to determine the effectiveness of YouTube-based jigsaw learning in improving student learning outcomes in basic statistics concepts at SMPN 2 Duampanu. Using a quasi-experimental research method with a quasi-experimental design, the study was conducted in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The results showed a significant increase in scores, with the average pretest score from 52.32 to 74.72 on the posttest, and the average pretest score from 29.40 to 46.04 on the posttest. After implementing YouTube-based jigsaw learning, the learning effectiveness increased by 16.64 points. Statistical analysis using a t-test yielded a t-value of 18.624 for the experiment and 13.396 for the control, > t-table 2.064 (α=0.05), indicating a significant difference in the implementation of YouTube-based jigsaw learning. This proves that YouTube-based jigsaw learning is effective in improving student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research examines students' perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), focusing on their views regarding its benefits and challenges. Conducted at the English Language Education Study Program, Tarbiyah Faculty, IAIN Parepare, this study involved 30 students selected through random sampling to ensure generalizability. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gather insights into students’ experiences with AI tools such as Elsa Speak, Duolingo, and Google Assistant. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes and key perspectives. The findings revealed that students perceive AI as both advantageous and limiting in their EFL learning journey. On the positive side, AI was seen as increasing motivation, boosting confidence in speaking, and providing practical opportunities for self-directed learning. However, students also expressed concerns regarding overreliance on AI tools, decreased creativity in language production, and AI's inability to adapt to individual learning styles and personalities. Additionally, some participants worried about AI’s potential impact on future job opportunities. The study concludes that while students generally view AI as a valuable aid in EFL learning, they recognize the need for a balanced approach. Educators and learners should integrate AI with traditional learning methods to enhance effectiveness while minimizing its limitations. Future research should further explore students' long-term perceptions of AI and its role in diverse EFL learning contexts.

Abstract

EFL writing presents challenges not only for students but also for teachers who must provide constructive feedback to promote student improvement. Given the substantial workload that teachers often face, there is a growing need for tools that can support the feedback process. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly tools like ChatGPT, has introduced new opportunities in the field of education. Its potential to assist in providing feedback has garnered significant attention. Several studies have explored students’ perceptions of receiving feedback through ChatGPT in EFL writing, with findings that vary in scope and sentiment. This study aims to explore students’ general perceptions of ChatGPT as a feedback tool, examining both its benefits and drawbacks as reported in the existing literature. Using the PRISMA Systematic Literature Review model, this research analyzes five out of 29 articles that met the inclusion criteria established for the review. The findings suggest that, in general, students have a positive perception of ChatGPT as a feedback provider. However, the data also indicate that ChatGPT cannot fully replace human feedback, such as that provided by teachers, due to the various advantages and limitations of the tool. These insights can serve as valuable guidance for teachers who are considering incorporating ChatGPT into their feedback practices for EFL writing. By understanding both the potential and the challenges of AI-driven feedback, teachers can make informed decisions on how best to support their students' writing development.
