Abstract

Teaching anxiety is feeling powerless and experiencing tension in teaching. A high level of anxiety affects the quality of teaching performance and teachers’ teaching resilience. This study aims to describe teaching anxiety levels and coping strategies of EFL novice teachers in teaching four English skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). This study employed a descriptive quantitative design. The data were collected by using online surveys. Total sampling was employed, and ten novice teachers of Islamic schools in Sidrap regency, South Sulawesi, completed online questionnaires adapted from DASS 42 and the COPE scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The findings showed that EFL novice teachers experience severe anxiety in teaching productive skills (speaking 15.5 and writing 15.1) and moderate anxiety in teaching receptive skills (listening 13.8 and reading 14.8).EFL novice teachers used problem focused strategies more than emotion-focused strategies to combat their anxiety.Keywords: Teaching Anxiety; Coping Strategy; EFL Novice Teachers

Abstract

This scoping study examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Project-Based Learning (PBL) for diversified English language training and its benefits, drawbacks, and trends. Arksey and O'Malley's approach and PRISMA-ScR systematically review peer-reviewed articles from the last decade from Google Scholar, Scopus, ERIC, DOAJ, PubMed, and Science Direct. A complete literature search, inclusion-based selection, data extraction, and thematic analysis are used. AI can improve PBL by offering individualized learning, real-time feedback, and immersive learning settings. Intelligent virtual assistants, smart grading systems, and adaptive learning technologies provide personalized instruction that improves learning results and inclusivity. However, the analysis also notes ethical issues connected to data privacy and algorithmic biases and the need for teacher training to use AI in schools effectively. Despite these obstacles, AI in PBL can transform English language instruction by encouraging critical thinking, cooperation, and communication. This scoping review concludes that AI in PBL can transform differentiated English language instruction. To fully realize the benefits of AI-integrated PBL and improve English language learning for all students, research and innovation must continue.

Abstract

Several phenomena related to students' reading comprehension are observed at SMAN 7 Mimika. Many students struggle to grasp the main ideas of texts and often face challenges in interpreting details and drawing conclusions. Limited vocabulary and a lack of effective reading strategies further hinder their ability to understand complex passages. Research objectives: To analyze the impact of using Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) with Mobile Learning on students' reading comprehension. To identify the challenges encountered by students when applying CIRC with Mobile Learning in reading activities. The research employed mixed-methods approach. The classical approach to categorize mixed methods designs organizes them into two major categories, sequential and concurrent. The number of sample was 19 students of 64 students. The result of research shows the frequency and percentage of students' pre-test of 19 students. As explained, the highest of students classification in students pre-test was in poor classification with 84,2% or as many 16 students. The results of the study demonstrated a significant enhancement in the students' comprehension of written texts following the implementation of the treatment. future studies may investigate long-term impacts of CIRC with mobile learning, compare with other strategies, explore student motivation, examine teacher training, and apply mixed-method approaches for deeper insights.

Abstract

The study focused on improving students’ speaking skills through the use of AI-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. The main goals are to find and analyze the using Artificial Intelligence NLP models in improving English speaking ability among students at MAN 2 Parepare, and to know and analyze what factors influence the success of using Artificial Intelligence NLP models in enhancing the English-speaking ability of EFL students at MAN 2 Parepare. This study applied a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data from 34 students using observation, oral tests, and questionnaires. The oral tests evaluated fluency, pronunciation, accuracy, and content, while the questionnaire—based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)—measured students’ perceptions of the tool’s usefulness and ease of use. The results showed three main findings. First, the use of AI NLP models like Google Assistant offered personalized and interactive speaking practice, which helped improve students’ speaking performance. Second, there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results, with the t-test score (2,316) being higher than the t-table value (1,697), showing the positive impact of the AI tool. Third, two key factors supported the success of this approach: 74,19% of students considered the AI tool “very useful,” and 70,97% found it “very easy to use.” These factors contributed to increased motivation and active participation in speaking activities.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education offers a promising pathway to enhance teacher competence, particularly in speaking instruction. Despite its potential, some English teachers in the MGMP (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran) Madrasah Aliyah under the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Soppeng Regency continue to face difficulties in effectively utilizing AI tools and delivering CEFR B1-level speaking materials, particularly expressions of suggestion and offering help. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Sandy AI in improving teachers’ speaking instructional skills and to explore the integration of AI within professional development programs. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the research was conducted over two cycles and involved ten English teachers. Each cycle followed the stages of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. In Cycle 1, teachers received initial training on Sandy AI and lesson development using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method. Following the first cycle, additional interventions were implemented in Cycle 2, including targeted CEFR B1 training, peer mentoring by high-performing teachers, and workshops on AI troubleshooting. Data collection was conducted through structured observation using a rubric that assessed instructional clarity, AI usage, CEFR explanation, and student engagement. The results demonstrated significant improvement in teacher performance, with a 32% increase in average scores and 90% of participants achieving the success criteria by Cycle 2. Teachers showed enhanced confidence, clearer instructional delivery, and more interactive use of Sandy AI in the classroom. The findings indicate that Sandy AI is an effective and practical tool to improve speaking instruction when supported by a structured, iterative professional development framework. This model is particularly applicable to religious-based educational contexts seeking to modernize language teaching through AI integration.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the pedagogical competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers through in-service training in Pinrang Regency. Pedagogical competence is a key component of teaching quality, encompassing the understanding of student characteristics, curriculum development, instructional delivery, and learning assessment. The research employed a mixed-method approach using a convergent parallel design, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously. Quantitative data were obtained through pre-tests and post-tests using pedagogical knowledge assessments, while qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with six EFL teachers. The findings indicate that in-service training significantly improved teachers’ pedagogical competence, as evidenced by the increase in pre-test and post-test scores. Most participants reported that the training enhanced their understanding of learning theories, enabled them to design more effective teaching strategies, and increased their confidence in classroom management. However, some challenges were identified in the practical implementation of the training content, particularly due to limited institutional support. This study highlights the importance of sustained, context-specific teacher development programs that are supported by responsive educational policies. The results are expected to serve as a reference for improving teacher training strategies, especially in under-resourced educational settings.
