Abstract

Abstract This qualitative study investigates how EFL students view academic writing AI tools (QuillBot, Grammarly, and ChatGPT). This qualitative study examines how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners see artificial intelligence (AI) tools for academic writing, including Grammarly, ChatGPT, and QuillBot. Ten seventh-semester students from Muhammadiyah University of Bengkulu's English Study Program were interviewed in order to collect data. The results show that students often utilize these AI tools, with QuillBot being used for paraphrasing, Grammarly mostly for grammar checking, and ChatGPT for idea generation. Eight out of ten students believe that using AI tools to improve their language and sentence structure is beneficial. However, difficulties arise while attempting more difficult tasks, such coherence and logical arguments; some students reported difficulties in maintaining a logical flow in their writing. Students report that while AI tools are helpful for grammar and sentence structure, they are not effective in fostering creativity and critical thinking. They also raised ethical concerns, such as plagiarism and depedence on AI tools. Most of students support the integration of these tools into EFL writing instruction as a complement to traditional methods. It is suggested that educators establish clear guidelines for using AI tools to support students' writing without limiting originality and critical thinking.

Abstract

Integrating critical thinking skills into English Language Teaching (ELT) assessments is crucial for enhancing learners' language proficiency and cognitive abilities. This paper introduces a theoretical framework for embedding critical thinking into ELT assessments, utilizing key elements such as Bloom's Taxonomy, Paul and Elder's Critical Thinking Framework, constructivist theory, and task-based language teaching. The framework emphasizes creating assignments that address different cognitive levels, using detailed assessment criteria, and incorporating technology for interactive evaluations, which are all essential for integrating critical thinking into language assessments. Approaches include developing authentic assignments that mirror real-life contexts, providing ongoing professional development for teachers, and using formative assessments with regular feedback mechanisms to cultivate critical thinking in language evaluation. This method aims to improve English language competency by fostering deep understanding, effective communication, and problem-solving skills in students. The model seeks to establish a comprehensive and practical system for English language evaluation that aligns with current educational objectives by incorporating critical thinking to enhance language proficiency and cognitive abilities.

Abstract

The integration of technology in the classrooms has advantages and disadvantages. This study aims at investigating the advantages and difficulties that teachers encounter when utilizing technology in teaching and learning activities. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design. The study highlights key benefits such as increased motivation, personalized learning, access to authentic materials, enhanced collaboration, improved feedback, flexibility, accessibility, and digital literacy growth. However, it also points out challenges like unequal digital skills, limited access to technology, language barriers, over-reliance on digital tools, technical issues, distractions, high costs, privacy concerns, cultural differences, and struggles with self-discipline and motivation. To ensure effective and equitable technology integration in EFL teaching, the findings stress the need for comprehensive strategies that maximize benefits while addressing challenges. Technology offers significant advantages, but it requires careful management to overcome its limitations. Schools should invest in resources and support systems, and teachers need proper training. Future research should explore best practices and develop targeted solutions to address these challenges and optimize technology use in EFL education.

Abstract

Many EFL students face challenges in developing syntactic complexity and grammatical accuracy in academic writing. Sentence combining, which involves merging simple sentences into more complex ones, has shown promise in enhancing grammatical control and writing fluency. However, research on its effectiveness in EFL contexts, particularly in improving syntactic variety and grammatical accuracy, is still limited. This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of sentence combining on syntactic variety and grammatical accuracy in academic essays written by undergraduate EFL students. The participants were 40 students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, selected using purposive sampling. Over one semester, the experimental group received sentence combining instruction, while the control group followed conventional writing instruction. Pre- and post-test essays were analyzed using three syntactic measures: Mean Length of T-unit (MLT), Clauses per T-unit (C/T), and Dependent Clauses per Clause (DC/C). The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in all three dimensions of syntactic complexity for the experimental group. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of sentence combining in developing EFL students’ academic writing. It is recommended that writing instructors integrate sentence combining into academic writing curricula to support syntactic development and grammatical precision.

Abstract

Mechanisms for motivating and involving teachers in learning and working together with their colleagues are currently quite scarce. This study aims to explore the conditions that support teacher professional development in inquiry based learning through learning communities and examine how teacher professional development will impact students learning outcomes. The five teachers selected were a group of teachers who were members of the lesson study community at SMP Negeri 11 Bengkulu city and participated in this study. The qualitative results in this study reveal that the interactive domain, in which the teacher’s professional learning community works collaboratively by sharing teaching experiences and developing assessment tools, plays an important role in promoting teacher professional development. These results reinforce the understanding that conditions and important supporting mechanisms that must be possessed by an effective model for teachers professional development can lead to improved students learning outcomes.
