Abstract

This study investigates the impact of ChatGPT-assisted essay writing on knowledge retention among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, comparing it with traditional Google-based research and a hybrid approach that combines both tools. A total of 150 undergraduate students from an Indonesian university participated in the study and were divided into three groups: ChatGPT-only, Google-only, and hybrid. To measure knowledge retention, a 20-item multiple-choice post-test was administered one week after the essay-writing activity. For the qualitative phase, open-ended online surveys were used to explore students’ perceptions of the tools, learning experiences, and challenges encountered. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and ANOVA, revealing that the Google-only group achieved the highest mean score, followed by the hybrid group, while the ChatGPT-only group had the lowest performance. Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified four key themes: efficiency, depth of understanding, challenges, and learning outcomes. Results suggest that when ChatGPT supports efficiency in writing, it often limits critical engagement and deep learning. In contrast, Google encourages active information processing, enhancing content comprehension and long-term retention. The hybrid approach offers a balanced strategy by combining the strengths of both tools. These findings contribute to the growing discourse on AI in education by emphasizing the need to evaluate not only usability and writing quality but also cognitive outcomes such as retention and understanding. The study highlights the pedagogical importance of integrating AI tools thoughtfully, rather than relying on them as stand-alone solutions for academic tasks

Abstract

Reading is a fundamental language skill that plays a key role in students’ academic success, yet in faith-based schools English reading instruction often lacks integration with Islamic values and character formation. While previous studies have highlighted the need for contextualized materials, limited research has offered a systematic model that aligns English reading with Islamic content and the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikukum Merdeka). This study therefore aimed to design, validate, and evaluate an English reading instructional model that incorporates Islamic themes and the ten Muwashafat. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE framework, the study involved English teachers and students at an Integrated Islamic Senior High School in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were gathered through collaborative classroom action research (CAR) combining questionnaires, observations, interviews, and pre/post tests. The model produced includes a conceptual framework, syllabus, lesson plans, and Islamic-themed reading texts structured through the IMPACT sequence (Initiate, Map, Perceive, Analyze, Construct, Think back). Expert evaluation confirmed its feasibility with average ratings of 3.53–3.67, while classroom implementation demonstrated effectiveness, as students’ reading scores increased from 6.8 (pre-test) to 7.8 (post-test), alongside positive improvements in engagement, classroom climate, and character development. The findings conclude that integrating Islamic content with character-based values strengthens English reading instruction in faith-based contexts, and future researchers are encouraged to adapt and expand the model across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The thesis defense examination (TDE) is a high-stakes academic interaction in which candidates must communicate effectively and persuasively to demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter. Understanding response strategies is vital to establishing effective communication within a thesis defense. This study analyzed candidates’ response strategies in the EFL thesis defenses using Celce-Murcia’s framework. The data collection involved observing eight thesis defenses and recording oral interactions, which were then transcribed for analysis. To ensure the credibility of the data analysis, an inter-coder agreement was calculated, resulting in a Cohen’s kappa value of κ = 0.82, indicating a high level of agreement between coders. The findings showed that candidates frequently employed expansion strategies when answering examiners’ questions. Confirmation strategies also appeared with relatively high frequency. Repetition and reduction and repair strategies were used with moderate frequency, whereas rephrasing and rejection were rarely employed. This study reveals that EFL candidates often add more information to their responses and confirm their answers during interaction in the thesis defenses.

Abstract

The use of gamification in English Language Teaching (ELT) has been found to employ more effective methods to improve learner participation, drive, and educational results. This review examines the impact of gamification in ELT by reviewing and consolidating major theories and their relevant evidence. The application of Self-Determination Theory, Flow Theory, the Multiliteracies Framework, Transformative Learning Theory, and Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy provide insight on the impact of gamified features, including, but not limited to points, badges, narratives, and feedback, on the ELT learner’s engagement with the subject. A comprehensive review of 25 selected articles published from 2014 to 2024 has shown that gamification has a desirable impact on learner’s motivation, autonomy, and participation within varying degrees of language skills. Furthermore, gamified approaches to instruction enhance the development of vocabulary and speaking skills, and learner perseverance. However, the review also identifies some issues, including the lack of effective implementation frameworks, inadequate professional development opportunities, and an excessive focus on badge and points systems that reward learners for competing with each other rather than collaborating. The results indicate that a well-designed gamified ELT course based on sound pedagogical theories increases learner engagement and active participation in learning. This study has considerable value for language educators and curriculum developers, in addition to stressing the need for more studies aimed at the effective use of gamification in language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates how religious literacy and cultural materialism are represented in My Next Words, a government-issued English textbook series for elementary schools in Indonesia, and examines their alignment with the values of Profil Pelajar Pancasila. As English language learning is expected to promote not only communicative competence but also character education, this research explores the ideological content embedded in the textbook series for Grades 1, 2, 4, and 5. Using Critical Discourse Analysis as the methodological framework, the study analyzes how texts and illustrations convey messages related to religious values, material culture, and national character dimensions. The findings reveal that while the textbooks implicitly promote politeness and individual responsibility, they lack substantive religious or cultural representation. Cultural materialism is present through the portrayal of modern, middle-class lifestyles and material possessions. Although the textbooks support aspects of independence and moral behavior, they fall short in promoting diversity, collaboration, and critical thinking. This research highlights the need for more inclusive and reflective English learning materials that align with Indonesia’s educational goals and diverse cultural realities.

Abstract

Improving students’ English-speaking skills remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia, particularly in traditional classroom settings. This study explores the effectiveness of Canva-based Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects, specifically procedural text presentations, as a pedagogical tool to enhance speaking performance. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative data from pre-tests, treatments, and post-tests. Canva-based DIY presentations served as the independent variable, while students’ speaking performance was the dependent variable. Statistical analysis, conducted via SPSS, revealed a significant improvement: a 26.08-point increase in speaking scores, a rise in post-test completion rate from 0% to 64.3%, and a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. Students also reported increased motivation, creativity, and confidence, despite minor technical hurdles. These findings suggest that Canva offers a low-cost, visually rich platform to stimulate learner engagement and support the development of key speaking sub-skills: grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. However, the study’s small sample size and limited classroom context constrain its generalizability. Future research should involve broader populations and longitudinal designs to validate long-term impacts.

Abstract

It takes a lot of work to write an effective thesis in an academic context in order to graduate. Writing a thesis is a unique genre with its own rules, guidelines, and conventions. In the case of graduate and master degree students, they are not only have to meet the requirements of this genre, but also the language used which different with their first language, in this case is English. Therefore, this study aimed at analyzing difficulties in writing literature review sections of English major master’s thesis written by Indonesian EFL learners. This study applied qualitative descriptive as research method with six interviewees. The results of this study found that there were five difficulties. The difficulties were deciding subtopic of literature review section, finding relevant and reputable journal that support the research, synthesizing skill in completing literature review, formulating pattern or move in writing literature review section, and constructing argument and knowing the function of literature review. Addressing these difficulties requires following actions. They are enhancing training in research methods, better access to academic resources, and providing a guidance book especially in writing literature review.

Abstract

This study addresses the critical need for character-based English reading materials tailored to the unique educational context of Integrated Islamic Junior High Schools (SMPIT). SMPIT's distinct curriculum incorporates the 10-Muwashafat character foundation, which aligns with broader national values encapsulated in the Pancasila student profile. Despite the importance of these character values, existing English reading materials often fail to adequately integrate them, posing a challenge for effective character education. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining Research and Development (R&D) methodology to develop a model of reading materials that integrates the 10 Muwashafat characters and the Pancasila student profile, aimed at supporting character formation in English language learning at SMPIT. Additionally, an experimental method is utilized to assess the model's effectiveness. Through the mixed-methods design, the study conducted an in-depth analysis of current learning materials to identify gaps in the integration of character values. Data were collected using interviews, observations, tests, and questionnaires, involving teachers, students, and education experts. Based on these findings, a new model of reading materials was designed, integrating both 10 Muwashafat and Pancasila values. The model underwent expert validation and field testing at SMPIT, followed by revisions to enhance its effectiveness based on the results. The results demonstrate that the developed reading materials significantly improve the integration of character education in English learning, aligning with the school's values and supporting students' holistic development. This study contributes to the field of educational material development by providing a framework for incorporating character education into language learning, addressing both religious and national educational goals.
