Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English language learning has garnered substantial attention and raised pertinent questions about its implications for the future of language education. This qualitative study with a systematic review design probes into the complex relationship between AI and English learning, whether AI in English language learning constitutes a potential detriment to the educational process, and whether AI is a disaster or a boon for English learning. A total of 15 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 to 2023 (indexed in Scopus, WoS, and Sinta) were analyzed through four steps (data extraction, quality assessment, data synthesis, and result interpretation) to ensure comprehensive coverage. The findings from this study revealed not only multifaceted insights into the relationship between AI and English language learning, such as personalized learning, increased interactivity, and accessibility, but also its challenges, including privacy-related concerns, loss of human interactions, and reliability issues. This present study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the role of AI in English language learning, offering educators, researchers, and policy-makers valuable insights into the benefits and potential pitfalls of integrating AI technologies in language education. Moreover, this present study provides a details exploration of the AI-English learning paradigm, emphasizing the need for a holistic perspective that leverages AIs strengths while safeguarding the integrity and vitality of the English language learning experience. Furthermore, this study offers recommendations for future research endeavors, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of AI-based English learning strategies.

This study analyzed the use of code-mixing by Generation Z, particularly English Literature students of UNIMA Batch 2021, in their WhatsApp group discussions. Since the data were in the form of written conversations rather than numerical data, this study applied a descriptive qualitative method to answer the research question. The data were collected from WhatsApp class group discussions over one semester, specifically from August 20, 2023, to December 19, 2023. This study used Hoffmann's (2014) theory to identify the types of code-mixing and Myers-Scotton’s (1998) Markedness Model as the framework. The findings revealed 113 instances of code-mixing, which were classified into three types: Insertion (63 cases), Alternation (20 cases), and Congruent Lexicalization (9 cases). The analysis also showed that 84 instances were marked, indicating intentional use for emphasis, social identity, or academic expression, while 29 instances were unmarked, suggesting a natural and habitual use of code-mixing in digital communication. The results indicate that code-mixing among these students is influenced by their academic environment, digital exposure, and peer interactions. This research contributes to the understanding of how Generation Z integrates multiple languages in everyday communication, particularly in academic settings.

The introduction of the Merdeka Curriculum marks a transformative shift in Indonesia’s English Language Teaching (ELT) landscape by promoting flexibility, student-centered learning, and project-based approaches. However, the success of such curriculum reform relies heavily on how teachers, as frontline implementers, perceive, adapt, and navigate its complexities in diverse classroom realities. Addressing a critical gap in existing research that predominantly focuses on policy-level analysis, this qualitative case study investigates the lived experiences, perceptions, and coping strategies of Indonesian ELT educators amidst the early stages of Merdeka Curriculum implementation. Drawing on Fullan’s theory of educational change, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving 20 English teachers, 30 students, and 10 administrators across rural, suburban, and urban settings. Thematic analysis revealed that while the curriculum fosters innovation and autonomy, teachers face significant constraints including insufficient training, technological inequity, and excessive administrative demands. Despite these challenges, educators expressed strong support for student-centered instruction, multimedia integration, and skill development emphasizing communication and critical thinking. This study contributes uniquely by offering context-specific insights into teacher agency within systemic constraints, advocating for equitable resource allocation, professional development, and collaborative policy feedback mechanisms. By amplifying teacher voices, this research not only informs national curriculum design but also engages in broader global conversations on curriculum autonomy, pedagogical reform, and the essential role of teachers in enacting meaningful educational transformation.
