Abstract

This study explores English teachers’ perspectives on the use of Wordwall as a digital assessment tool in junior high school English classrooms. Amid the growing integration of educational technology, Wordwall has gained popularity for its interactive and game-based assessment features. While previous studies have examined its instructional functions, limited attention has been given to how teachers perceive its use as a formative or summative assessment instrument, particularly in rural educational contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved semi-structured interviews with two English teachers from SMPN 1 Tinondo, a rural school in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework, focusing on patterns in teacher beliefs, experiences, and evaluative judgments of Wordwall’s functionality. The findings revealed that teachers perceive Wordwall positively due to its ability to enhance student engagement, streamline assessment, and deliver immediate feedback. Teachers also noted its alignment with curriculum standards and its potential to support student-centered evaluation. However, the study also highlighted contextual factors that shape these perceptions, including access to digital infrastructure and prior digital literacy. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on digital assessment by offering insights into teacher agency, perception formation, and the pedagogical relevance of gamified tools. It also emphasizes the importance of contextualizing digital tool adoption within rural educational environments. The findings hold implications for policymakers, teacher training programs, and future research on localized technology integration.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate and evaluate how students at SMAN 4 Takalar perceive the challenges they face and how they are resolved when teaching descriptive text writing, especially in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic, using the Jigsaw model cooperative learning strategy. Traditional teaching and learning environments were drastically changed by the global pandemic, which created new challenges for both teachers and students, particularly in skill-based areas like writing. Students frequently struggle with descriptive text writing because it requires careful attention to detail, a comprehensive vocabulary, and logical arrangement. By encouraging active participation, peer-to-peer instruction, and cooperative problem-solving, the Jigsaw model, a cooperative learning approach in which students become “experts” on a portion of the material before teaching it to their peers is proposed as a potentially successful tactic for minimizing these learning difficulties. Particularly, this study looks into how students perceive the challenges that come with writing descriptive texts and how the Jigsaw method either helps them get outside existing challenges or creates new ones. Data will be collected through in-depth interviews, and documentations with eleventh-grade students at SMAN 4 Takalar using a qualitative research methodology. The anticipated findings will provide insight on how students explicitly perceive challenges in producing descriptive texts (such as vocabulary acquisition, idea development, organization, and grammar) and offer insights into how the Jigsaw technique affects these perceived issues. Students are expected to report advantages like higher confidence, better structural comprehension through collaborative text construction, and expanded vocabulary through peer interaction. On the other hand, the study will also find out what new challenges students have when using the Jigsaw strategy in a post-pandemic context, like adapting to group projects following extended periods of distance learning, controlling group dynamics, or ensuring personal responsibility. This study has significant implications for creating better and successful writing instruction strategies in the changing educational environment, providing useful advice for English teachers in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how students at SMP IT As'adiyah Kaloling, a distant Islamic boarding school in Bantaeng, Indonesia, use TikTok in relation to their vocabulary knowledge and motivation in studying English. The study, which used a one-group pretest-posttest design and a quantitative technique, recruited 27 seventh-grade children. A vocabulary test, an interest survey, and structured interview questions were among the tools. With the mean score rising from 47.78 on the pretest to 86.67 on the posttest, the results showed a considerable improvement in the students' vocabulary mastery. This resulted in a normalized gain of 0.74, which was classified as high. With scores increasing from 37.63 to 44.89 and a normalized gain of 0.67 (medium-high category), students' engagement also improved. TikTok videos were used in the classroom for activities like sports and noun learning from @bluepopenglish. TikTok videos were used in the classroom for tasks like studying nouns from @bluepopenglish and sports vocabulary from @tinyme. All students considered TikTok-based learning to be more engaging and inspiring, according to structured interviews. The results are consistent with prior research that highlights TikTok's pedagogical potential for vocabulary learning and student engagement. This study's uniqueness is its rural setting, which demonstrates that, with teacher guidance, TikTok can be successfully included even in schools with little resources. TikTok showed to be an interesting tool that promotes vocabulary mastering and boosts students' enthusiasm and confidence in learning English, despite drawbacks such internet connection and the lack of a control group.

Abstract

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in higher education has significantly influenced students’ academic writing practices, raising concerns about writing development and academic integrity. This study explores how AI impacts students’ writing skills and academic integrity from the perspectives of English lecturers teaching academic writing courses at a state university in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. Reflexive Thematic Analysis was used as the primary analytical approach, supported by metadata analysis to strengthen data interpretation. The findings indicate that AI contributes positively to surface-level writing aspects such as grammatical accuracy and text organization. However, excessive reliance on AI tools tends to reduce students’ originality, critical thinking, and engagement in the writing process. Lecturers also reported growing challenges in maintaining academic integrity, as AI-generated texts often blur the boundaries between assistance and misconduct. The absence of clear institutional policies and the limited reliability of AI detection tools further complicate the issue. This study concludes that while AI has the potential to support students’ writing development, its uncontrolled use poses serious risks to authentic learning and academic integrity. The findings highlight the importance of developing AI literacy, adopting process-oriented assessment, and establishing institutional guidelines to ensure the ethical integration of AI in academic writing instruction.

Abstract

Penggunaan alat bantu penulisan berbasis kecerdasan buatan (AI) dalam pendidikan menengah telah menimbulkan tantangan pedagogis yang signifikan, namun masih sedikit yang diketahui mengenai kesulitan spesifik yang dihadapi siswa saat menggunakan alat-alat tersebut. Studi kasus kualitatif ini mengkaji kesulitan yang dialami oleh delapan siswa kelas XII di SMAN 12 Sinjai, Indonesia, saat menggunakan alat AI seperti ChatGPT, Grammarly, Quillbot, dan Google Translate untuk tugas menulis bahasa Inggris. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik reflektif. Temuan menunjukkan delapan kategori utama kesulitan: (1) ketergantungan berlebihan pada AI, (2) ketidakmampuan mengevaluasi saran AI, (3) penggunaan AI yang tidak efektif untuk koreksi tata bahasa, (4) pemahaman terbatas tentang kemampuan AI, (5) hambatan teknis dan akses, (6) hilangnya suara pribadi, (7) kesulitan mengintegrasikan saran AI, dan (8) ilusi kemajuan. Kesulitan yang paling umum adalah ketergantungan berlebihan, yang dilaporkan oleh kedelapan peserta, dengan para siswa mengungkapkan rasa takut dan panik ketika alat AI tidak dapat diakses. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa tanpa intervensi pedagogis yang terstruktur, alat penulisan AI dapat berfungsi sebagai penopang daripada sebagai landasan bagi pembelajaran siswa.
