Abstract

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping foreign language learning by providing learners with immediate linguistic support, conversational practice, adaptive feedback, and opportunities for learning beyond formal classroom time. Yet the pedagogical value of AI cannot be reduced to technological availability alone. This qualitative study is designed to explore how 30 university students experience AI-supported foreign language learning, with particular attention to speaking development, learner agency, engagement, feedback, confidence, self-regulated learning, and critical AI literacy. Data are to be collected through semi-structured interviews and, where available, supplementary learning reflections or AI interaction records. The study adopts reflexive thematic analysis to identify patterns in how students use AI to rehearse speech, generate ideas, expand vocabulary, check grammar, seek pronunciation support, manage speaking anxiety, and regulate independent learning. At the same time, the study examines tensions related to inaccurate output, dependency, superficial learning, privacy, academic integrity, and the limited authenticity of machine-mediated interaction. The manuscript proposes Guided Human-AI Language Learning (GHAILL) as an interpretive model in which learners move from goal setting to AI-mediated practice, critical evaluation, linguistic modification, human communication, and reflection. The central argument is that AI is most educationally valuable when it functions as a scaffold and rehearsal partner rather than a substitute for learner thinking, teacher guidance, or human interaction. The study contributes to emerging scholarship on generative AI in language education by connecting AI use with agency, self-regulation, willingness to communicate, and speaking development in a university context.

Abstract

Public speaking skills support university students in presentations, discussions, organizational activities, and workplace preparation. However, many students feel nervous, struggle to organize ideas, and lack confidence before an audience. This simulated community engagement article describes training intended to improve Indonesian-language public speaking skills and self-confidence among students at Universitas Prima Indonesia. A participatory approach combines needs assessment, brief instruction, demonstration, gradual practice, peer feedback, individual performance, and evaluation. Simulated data include a self-confidence questionnaire, a performance rubric, observation sheets, and participant responses. The simulated mean self-confidence score increases from 31.20 ± 5.10 to 40.65 ± 4.20, with t(39) = 12.66, p < 0.001, and d = 2.00. Eye contact shows the largest improvement. Practice and constructive feedback illustrate how public speaking confidence may improve.

Abstract

Culinary advertising in public space communicates more than product, price, and location information; it also constructs social meaning through language choice and visual resources. This study examines how ideology, identity, and persuasion are constructed in the linguistic landscape of culinary advertisements in Medan. The corpus comprises 16 photographs of food and beverage advertisements displayed on standing boards, banners, billboards, and other outdoor promotional media. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the analysis integrates linguistic landscape studies, language ideology, and multimodal social semiotics. Five analytical stages were applied: identifying linguistic resources, classifying informational and symbolic functions, mapping ideological orientations, interpreting indexed identities, and examining persuasive strategies. Indonesian occurred in 15 of 16 signs (93.75%), English in 8 (50%), local or colloquial forms in 5 (31.25%), and Japanese resources in 3 (18.75%). The data reveal pragmatic nationalism, market cosmopolitanism, affective locality, and transnational authenticity. Persuasion is primarily realized through price and promotional salience, product imagery, familiar registers, and linguistic hybridity. These findings show that culinary advertising in Medan uses language as information, symbolic capital, an identity marker, and a persuasive resource.

Abstract

Animacy is a semantic property of a noun that describes whether the referent of the noun is alive or inanimate, and to what extent it is conscious in acting. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how the concept of animation is applied in Indonesian folklore and how it reflects the views of Indonesian society. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative analysis (percentages) to identify and classify the elements found in Indonesian folklore. The data used are the most popular folklore texts in Indonesia, namely: The Legend of Lake Toba (North Sumatra), Malin Kundang (West Sumatra), Timun Emas (Central Java), Tangkuban Perahu (West Java), and Roro Jonggrang (Central Java) which come from various available oral and written sources. Furthermore, the data will be analyzed by mapping the elements of animation contained in the story and categorizing them based on typologies that are relevant to the study of animation in folklore. The results of this study are that Indonesian folklore consists of elements of flora/fauna life as much as 11.11%, human 33.33%, inanimate nouns as much as 40%, and supernatural as much as 15.15%. The inanimate noun element is the most dominant element. This suggests that Indonesian folklore links the environment/place as the main element in building the story.
