Abstract

This review provides a concise overview of the book "Teacher Development for Immersion and Content-Based Instruction” by Laurent Cammarata and T. J. Ó Ceallaigh, published in 2020 by John Benjamins Publishing Company. The review highlights its significant contributions to the understanding of global language immersion programs. The book, which features significant input from respected scholars, focuses on filling the knowledge gaps regarding teacher development in the context of language immersion and content-based training. The book consists of seven chapters that address various subjects, including teacher language awareness, the development of professional identity, and the difficulties encountered by immersion educators. The review acknowledges the book's thorough approach but points out a possible omission in distinguishing between Content-Based Instruction and Content and Language Integrated Learning The review suggests that the book is a great resource for educators, academics, and policymakers.

Abstract

Writing is an important skill in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), but many students struggle due to a lack of grammar knowledge, limited vocabulary, and low awareness of their mistakes. One way to help students overcome these challenges is self-correction, which allows them to find and fix their own mistakes. This study explores how Ginger Software supports self-correction in writing from the perspective of EFL students. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved seven students who actively used Ginger Software in their writing tasks. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that Ginger Software helps students improve grammar accuracy, sentence structure, and writing efficiency. Features like grammar checker, spell checker, and sentence rephrasing support students in recognizing and correcting their mistakes independently. However, some students still find it difficult to improve the cohesion and coherence of their academic writing using the software alone. Therefore, combining technology with teacher guidance is recommended to make writing practice more effective

Abstract

This study aims to explore university students’ perceptions of using Paperpal AI as an Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tool in providing grammatical feedback during the academic writing process. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model and Self- Regulated Learning Theory, this research addresses the gap in understanding how students critically engage with AI-driven feedback in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving 30 EFL university students majoring in English Education who had prior experience using Paperpal AI. Data were gathered through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Questionnaire responses were analyzed descriptively using percentage analysis, while interview data were examined through Thematic Content Analysis (TCA). Findings revealed that students perceived Paperpal AI as beneficial for improving grammatical accuracy, sentence clarity, and editing efficiency. They appreciated the tool’s user-friendly interface and real-time feedback, particularly for grammar and transitions. However, concerns were raised regarding the general nature of suggestions, occasional contextual inaccuracy, and limited support for creativity. These insights suggest that while Paperpal AI enhances surface-level writing skills, it should be complemented with human feedback and critical reflection to support deeper writing development in academic settings.

Abstract

This research explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in thesis writing by four postgraduate students who are English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at an Indonesian university. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected over a two-month period through open-ended questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings reveal that students utilized various AI tools such as Grammarly, QuillBot, ChatGPT, Claude, Meta AI, and Perplexity, across different stages of their writing process, including brainstorming, paraphrasing, grammar correction, structural organization, and language refinement. Before adopting AI, participants encountered challenges in idea development, coherence, and linguistic accuracy. Following the integration of AI tools, they reported improvements in clarity, organization, and writing confidence. Most students expressed a strong willingness to continue using AI due to its perceived benefits in enhancing efficiency, precision, and learning outcomes. While limited to one university context in Indonesia, this study provides insights into the positive role of AI integration in supporting academic writing development among EFL postgraduate students.

Abstract

The integration of web-based writing support tools in EFL writing instruction has gained attention due to their potential to address students' writing challenges. This study investigates EFL undergraduate students' perceptions of Slick Write as a web-based writing support tool in academic contexts. The study employed a qualitative case study approach. At the same time, the data were collected from ten eighth-semester undergraduate students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra through closed-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. All participants had prior experience using Slick Write for at least one semester in their academic writing tasks. Data from questionnaires and interviews were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis framework. The findings revealed five main themes: effectiveness in detecting grammar errors, clarity and quality of feedback, increased writing autonomy and confidence, enhanced structured revision practices, and suitability with academic writing conventions. A significant concern identified was potential over-reliance on automated tools. While findings highlight Slick Write's benefits in supporting academic writing development, they also suggest the need for balanced implementation to prevent dependency. This study contributes to computer-assisted language learning literature by examining a less-explored tool through sociocultural and automated writing evaluation theoretical lenses, providing insights into technology-mediated writing instruction in Indonesian Islamic higher education contexts. Future research should explore the long-term impact of web-based writing tools on writing development and investigate their effectiveness across different academic disciplines

Abstract

This study explores young learners’ perceptions of Kahoot as a digital game-based instruction tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The research was conducted with 18 fourth-grade students (ages 9–10) at a private elementary school in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Most participants were at beginner to lower-intermediate English proficiency levels with varied digital literacy. Data were collected over a period of three weeks using observation and interviews and analyzed thematically. Findings revealed that Kahoot positively influenced students’ learning experiences in several ways. First, it significantly increased motivation and engagement, with 14 students reporting greater enthusiasm compared to textbook-based lessons. Second, all students highlighted the fun and interactive nature of Kahoot, supported by visual and auditory features that encouraged participation. Third, 12 students emphasized its effectiveness in vocabulary and grammar acquisition, while half (9 students) reported increased self-confidence in language use. However, challenges were also identified, including technical issues, limited variety of activities, and stress caused by competition for a few learners. Overall, the study concludes that Kahoot can serve as an effective supplement to EFL instruction for young learners, fostering motivation, confidence, and language acquisition. Practical recommendations are provided for teachers, policymakers, and developers, along with suggestions for future research.
