Abstract

The importance of conducting this research is to determine whether AI can be a possible tool for students to assist them in writing English essays. There is a gap between the theoretical potential of AI tools in improving English essay writing and the practical challenges faced by students, such as the issue of plagiarism, inaccurate information, and unstable internet access in using AI when writing English essays. This study aims to identify students’ perception on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in writing English essays at Islamic University of Indragiri. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through a questionnaire consisting of 25 statement items, which were given to 64 students. Data were analyzed using a 4-point Likert scale. The results showed that the majority of students had a positive perception of their familiarity and understanding of AI, as well as its benefits in writing English essays. However, their perceptions of the originality and accuracy of the information provided by AI tended to be neutral, considering that some of the information obtained was not always in accordance with the topic or was inaccurate. On the other hand, obstacles such as unstable internet connection quality also affected the effectiveness of using AI. Overall, students' perceptions of the use of AI in writing English essays can be categorized as moderate, with differences of opinion regarding its advantages and limitations.

Abstract

The importance of conducting this research is to examine the correlation between peer support and students’ English speaking confidence, highlighting how peer support can help improve students’ confidence in speaking English. English speaking confidence is essential for students’ academic achievement and personal development. However, many high school students still face difficulties in speaking English fluently due to anxiety and lack of self confidence, revealing a gap between the recognized importance of speaking skills and students’ actual performance. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between peer support and English speaking confidence among the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Tembilahan Hulu. Using a correlational research design, data were collected from 98 students through Likert scale questionnaires measuring peer support and English speaking confidence. The Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of r = 0,356 which is greater than the critical values at both the 5% (0,195) and 1% (0,256) significance levels. It indicates a low but significant positive correlation between the two variables. Accordingly, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected. Descriptive results showed that while most students perceived high peer support, their speaking confidence was at a moderate level. These findings indicate that peer support positively influences English speaking confidence, but other factors also play a role. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers adopt a comprehensive approach that includes peer support alongside other psychological and contextual strategies to enhance students’ confidence in speaking English.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the strategies used by sixth-semester students of the English Study Program at the Islamic University of Indragiri Tembilahan to enhance their speaking fluency in English. Speaking fluency is a crucial skill in foreign language learning, yet many students still face difficulties due to a lack of practice, anxiety, low confidence, and an unsupportive language environment. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students employed a variety of learning strategies classified into cognitive, metacognitive, and socio-affective strategies, based on the frameworks of O'Malley & Chamot (1990) and Oxford (1990). Cognitive strategies such as practicing, rehearsal, and summarizing were the most frequently used. Metacognitive strategies like planning and self-monitoring also played a significant role. Socio-affective strategies such as self-encouragement and interaction with peers helped reduce anxiety and increase confidence. These strategies were chosen based on students’ individual learning preferences, motivation, and their need to improve real-time communication skills. This study suggests that lecturers should understand and support the use of these strategies in order to design more effective teaching methods to enhance students’ speaking fluency.
