Abstract

The implementation of online learning in Indonesia due to Covid-19 pandemic raises problems for the schools, students, and parents. This research was done to reveal the real obstacles the schools, students, and parents face and the efforts they have done as the ways out of the obstacles. It is a descriptive qualitative research with 7  school principals, 7 English teachers, and 43 fifth graders with their parents as the subjects of the research. The result shows that all school principals and teachers (100%) mention that they find it difficult to control the students. Eighty percent teachers mentioned that they find it difficult to explain the material. It is difficult for students to understand the lesson was mentioned by 64% students. Facing those obstacles, school principals, teachers, students, and parents have done some efforts as the ways out. Their efforts, however still do not solve all the obstacles yet. Thus, if all the obstacles of online learning can be solved, the writers believe that online learning can be used as an alternative learning technique after the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

Academic essay writing remains a challenging skill for learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly in higher education contexts. This study aims to analyze the types of structural errors found in students English essays at Universitas Muhammadiyah Lampung. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design with an error analysis approach, the data were collected from 14 essays written by undergraduate students enrolled in an English writing course. The essays were analyzed based on structural components of academic essay writing, including the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.The findings reveal that structural errors occur across all components of the essays, with the highest frequency found in the body paragraphs. Common problems include the absence of clear topic sentences, insufficient supporting details, and weak coherence between ideas. In the introduction section, several students failed to present a clear thesis statement, while conclusions often lacked effective summarization and closing statements. These structural weaknesses indicate that students experience greater difficulty in organizing ideas than in using grammatically accurate language.Overall, the study suggests that students essay writing problems are primarily related to discourse-level organization rather than linguistic accuracy. The findings highlight the importance of explicit instruction focusing on essay structure and paragraph development to improve students academic writing competence. This study contributes to EFL writing research by providing context-specific insights into structural errors in academic essays and offers pedagogical implications for improving writing instruction in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine EFL learners’ pragmatic competence in using expressions of asking and giving permission. The research was carried out at MTs Muhammadiyah Sukarame, Bandar Lampung, involving 32 eighth-grade students. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied to describe students’ speaking performance during classroom activities. The data were obtained through classroom observation, particularly during speaking practices. The findings indicate that students still encounter several difficulties in using appropriate expressions. Most of them have limited vocabulary, low confidence, and difficulties in applying correct grammatical structures. Consequently, their utterances are often incomplete and poorly organized. Furthermore, many students feel hesitant and afraid of making mistakes when expressing their ideas. These results show that students’ pragmatic competence in asking and giving permission remains relatively low. It also highlights the importance of providing more interactive and communicative learning activities to support the development of students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of language learning that supports students abilities in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. However, many elementary school students still experience difficulties in understanding and using vocabulary effectively due to limited instructional media and teacher-centered learning approaches. This study aims to investigate the effect of digital flashcard media on vocabulary mastery among elementary school students at SD Negeri 2 Sukoharjo, Pringsewu, Lampung. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretestposttest design. The participants consisted of 30 fourth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a vocabulary test comprising 20 objective items administered before and after the implementation of digital flashcard-based instruction. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis in the form of a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in students vocabulary mastery after the use of digital flashcards. The mean score increased from 60.13 in the pretest to 82.47 in the posttest. Indicator-based analysis revealed improvements in word meaning recognition, wordimage matching, vocabulary usage in sentences, and vocabulary recall. The paired sample t-test indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores at the 0.05 significance level (p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of digital flashcard media. The findings suggest that digital flashcards are an effective instructional medium for enhancing vocabulary learning at the elementary school level. Visualized vocabulary presentation and repeated exposure through digital flashcards support students comprehension and retention. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of digital learning media in elementary language instruction and offers practical implications for teachers seeking innovative strategies to improve vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Academic writing is a fundamental competence for students of English Education programs, yet many EFL students continue to experience persistent difficulties in organizing ideas, maintaining coherence, revising drafts, and applying academic conventions. At the same time, the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in writing has raised pedagogical and ethical concerns due to their largely unstructured use. This study aims to develop a pedagogically grounded framework for integrating AI into academic writing instruction in an EFL teacher education context. The study employed a Research and Development approach with a design-based research orientation. Data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire administered to students, semi-structured interviews with lecturers, and document analysis of academic writing tasks. The proposed framework was evaluated through expert validation and a limited practicality test involving lecturers and students. The results of the needs analysis indicate that students require structured guidance across all stages of the writing process, particularly in revision and formative feedback. Expert validation results demonstrate that the developed framework is pedagogically feasible, conceptually clear, and contextually relevant to EFL academic writing instruction. In addition, the practicality test shows that the framework is perceived as applicable and supportive of both student autonomy and lecturer guidance. This study does not measure learning effectiveness but provides a validated pedagogical design for responsible AI integration. It is recommended that lecturers adopt structured AI-guided writing frameworks to support formative feedback and that future research examine the effectiveness of the framework through experimental or longitudinal studies.

Abstract

Academic essay writing plays a crucial role in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) higher education as it fosters critical thinking, academic literacy, and disciplinary communication skills, while recent developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT and Grammarly have reshaped writing pedagogy through automated feedback and language support. This study aims to explore how AI-assisted reflective and collaborative writing is implemented and experienced in an Indonesian EFL essay writing classroom. A qualitative case study design was employed involving 24 undergraduate students and one lecturer in an Essay Writing course. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and writing artifacts, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that AI functions as a mediational scaffold that supports idea generation and language refinement, while students actively engage in collaborative negotiation to evaluate AI-generated feedback during writing tasks. Reflective writing emerges as a key mechanism for developing metacognitive awareness, enabling students to critically assess revisions and writing decisions. Furthermore, learner agency is evident in students’ ability to accept, modify, or reject AI suggestions based on peer discussion and contextual judgment. The study is grounded in Sociocultural Theory and Process Writing Theory, highlighting writing as a socially mediated and recursive process shaped by interaction among AI tools, peers, and reflection. The study concludes that integrating ChatGPT and Grammarly into EFL writing instruction enhances reflective and collaborative writing practices when supported by critical pedagogy, offering important implications for designing AI-informed writing instruction in higher education contexts.
