Abstract

The present study aims to explore Indonesian EFL teachers’ perception regarding the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) usage for developing cultural awareness of students as well as improving their English literacy and communication. Even though English subject is not considered as compulsory to be taught in elementary school, there is evidence that English is still being taught either as the local content subject or as the language-medium of instruction. This study employs survey research by administering a questionnaire for elementary school English teachers in Indonesia who have been ever implementing online learning. The result shows that most teachers respond positively on the implementation of ICT in English instructional practice in elementary school. Regarding the cultural content, the participants agree that ICT can be helpful for them to provide interactive digital teaching material, including cultural material for the students. The existence of ICT is helpful for both students and teachers to provide real and authentic teaching materials. Therefore, the use of ICT needs to be promoted to provide cultural awareness in ELT practice to equip young learners to do intercultural communication in the global world

Abstract

Miscommunication about the meaning of words in relation to the context of a situation is a common problem faced by both speakers and hearers. It was interesting in finding out about how language functions in human interaction, taking into account the context that affects communication as well as the intents behind utterances. Then, this research aims to identify the types of speech acts used; the most dominant types; the intended meanings of speech acts employed by Enola Holmes in the movie "Enola Holmes." This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on the utterances of the character Enola Holmes. Utilizing George Yule's theoretical framework for speech act analysis, the findings reveal four categories of speech acts: representatives, expressives, directives, and commissives. The predominant category identified is representative speech acts, accounting for 127 out of 222 instances (57%). The speech acts in the movie serve various purposes, including stating the truth, providing information, narrating life stories, refusing unwanted propositions, expressing adventure and unselfish assistance, showing friendship, making requests, indicating kinship conversing, and expressing amusement or pleasure. This study sheds light on the numerous functions and meanings that language serves for fictional characters in a movie, like Enola Holmes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the levels of foreign language anxiety experienced by high school students and to identify the sources of anxiety in ICT-based English learning context. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving eleventh-grade students of SMAN 7 Bandar Lampung. Data were collected through the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Thirty students participated in the questionnaire, while five students were selected for in-depth interviews to explore their perceptions and experiences. The data were analyzed descriptively to reveal patterns of anxiety and its contributing factors. The findings indicate that most students experience moderate to high levels of foreign language anxiety in ICT-based learning environments. A significant number of students fall into the “anxious” and “very anxious” categories, suggesting that ICT integration does not entirely reduce anxiety. Interview results reveal that while some students feel motivated and enthusiastic about ICT-based learning, many struggle with lack of self-confidence, fear of making mistakes, technical difficulties, unfamiliarity with digital platforms, and the pressure of fast-paced online lessons. These factors collectively intensify students’ anxiety during foreign language learning. In conclusion, the study highlights that although ICT provides valuable support for English learning, it also introduces new sources of anxiety. Therefore, teachers need to implement supportive strategies, provide clear guidance, and create a less threatening digital learning environment to help students manage foreign language anxiety effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of code-switching as a bilingual communication strategy in the Bicara Cinta podcast, focusing on Maudy Ayunda’s Indonesian–English language use. Positioned within applied linguistics and digital discourse studies, the research aims to identify the types of code-switching employed and to understand their communicative relevance in a public media context. Using a qualitative design with a content analysis approach, naturally occurring utterances from the podcast were examined. The analysis reveals 73 instances of code-switching, consisting of 16 inter-sentential switches, 42 intra-sentential switches, and 15 tag switches. The predominance of intra-sentential switching reflects a high level of bilingual proficiency and flexible linguistic negotiation. These findings provide insights into bilingual practices in Indonesian digital media and offer pedagogical implications for English education, particularly in promoting sociolinguistic awareness and authentic exposure to bilingual discourse.

Abstract

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction has transformed how students develop both creative and academic writing skills. However, its widespread use raises concerns about overreliance, which may affect students’ autonomy and critical thinking. This study investigates: (1) the impact of GenAI on creative writing quality, particularly originality, cognitive flexibility, and expressive innovation; (2) its role in enhancing structural academic writing, including coherence, organization, and grammatical accuracy; and (3) students’ perceptions of autonomy and dependence in AI-assisted writing. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the study involved 80 undergraduate students divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were analyzed using independent-samples t-tests and MANOVA, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that GenAI significantly improves both creative and structural writing performance while fostering learner autonomy, although risks of emerging dependency remain. Overall, this study highlights the importance of a balanced and pedagogically guided integration of GenAI to enhance writing quality while sustaining students’ creativity, autonomy, and critical thinking.

Abstract

Active student engagement is a cornerstone of effective pedagogy in writing instruction, yet it remains a significant challenge for educators. This study systematically evaluates the impact of an AI-driven gamification model designed to enhance student participation and motivation. Using a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design, 50 students were assigned to either an experimental group (n=25) engaging with AI tools (ProWritingAid, Quizizz) or a control group (n=25). The intervention's effects were assessed using validated learning engagement scales and in-depth qualitative interviews. The findings indicate a statistically significant increase in learning engagement for the experimental group, a result attributed to the immediate, personalized feedback and structured, low-stakes practice facilitated by the AI tools. This quantitative outcome was corroborated by qualitative data; thematic analysis revealed overwhelmingly positive student perceptions, with participants citing heightened motivation, reduced writing apprehension, and a greater sense of agency. Students specifically valued the non-judgmental feedback from AI and the competitive yet collaborative nature of the gamified tasks. The implications of this study are twofold. Practically, it offers a replicable pedagogical model for educators seeking to transform passive writing classrooms into active, technology-enhanced learning spaces. Theoretically, it contributes to the literature at the intersection of applied AI and composition pedagogy by demonstrating how gamification principles can be powerfully augmented by AI to address long-standing engagement challenges. This research thus provides a compelling blueprint for designing more effective, student-centered writing curricula in the digital age.
