Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of AI ChatGPT in enhancing writing skills among Indonesian EFL learners at MA NWDI Tembeng Putik. A qualitative case study was conducted with 30 senior high school students using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students benefited from ChatGPT in three main areas: improving grammar accuracy, strengthening coherence in essay organization, and supporting autonomous revision. Many students also reported that ChatGPT provided useful prompts when they faced difficulties generating ideas, although its impact on writing confidence was more limited. These results suggest that ChatGPT can serve as a valuable supplementary tool for EFL writing instruction, particularly in resource-limited classrooms. However, the study emphasizes the need for teacher guidance to ensure that AI use fosters critical thinking and responsible learning practices.

Abstract

Although many studies have explored the relationship between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension, research in vocational school contexts is limited, where students face unique challenges in learning English. This study aimed to examine the correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students of SMK NW Pancor in the 2024/2025 academic year. A quantitative correlational design was used, involving 22 students selected through purposive sampling. Vocabulary mastery was measured using a 20-item multiple-choice test covering synonyms, antonyms, definitions, and sentence completions, while reading comprehension was assessed with a 20-item multiple-choice test focusing on main ideas, specific information, inference, and vocabulary in context. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results revealed a strong and significant positive correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension (r = 0.753, p 0.001), indicating that students with higher vocabulary knowledge tended to achieve better reading comprehension. These findings highlight the essential role of vocabulary development in supporting reading skills and suggest that integrating systematic vocabulary instruction into English lessons can improve students’ overall language proficiency in vocational school settings.

Abstract

Speaking is widely acknowledged as one of the most complex language skills to acquire, particularly in the context of global interaction. Within the framework of Indonesia’s independent curriculum policy, the implementation of English presents considerable challenges, as many learners struggle to utilize the language effectively for communication. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate the difficulties encountered by learners of English as a foreign language. The participants consisted of 120 first-year students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at Hamzanwadi University, distributed across four classes. Data collection involved students' self-recorded speaking videos and questionnaire responses. The findings reveal three predominant challenges: grammatical errors (50%), pronunciation difficulties (25%), and limited vocabulary (15%), with additional factors constituting less than 5%. These results aim to enhance understanding of speaking proficiency barriers in EFL contexts and offer practical recommendations for educators and curriculum developers seeking to improve instructional strategies and learner outcomes.
