Abstract

Innovation in education is essential, and higher education likewise undergoes a comparable phenomenon. The limited availability of learning materials and access to them for the Paragraph Writing course remained a challenge. It encourages lecturers to innovate and create optimal learning quality, and modules can facilitate students’ independent and flexible learning. Lecturers are expected to develop innovative and interactive learning modules, such as an E-Module. The current research aims to develop a Paragraph Writing E-Module based on the OBE curriculum and assess its quality. This research used an R&D design. To collect the data, the researchers employed document analysis, structured questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The collected data were then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The E-Module has been developed according to the ADDIE stages, incorporating the results of the target and learning needs analysis. Besides, inputs from validators regarding design, content, and language have been followed up on. The E-Module trial results pointed out that students can follow it easily and flexibly, starting from understanding concepts and practicing writing, and so do lecturers. The design has been made as attractive as possible, and the learning materials are arranged to help students easily understand the material. Technology is incorporated to enhance interactivity, hence facilitating autonomous improvement of comprehension and writing skills. To sum up, the researcher determined that the Paragraph Writing E-Module is very viable as instructional material for the Paragraph Writing course. Additionally, it has been developed to align with the OBE curriculum, which can be applied to other language courses.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of novice university students toward the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in developing English speaking skills. This qualitative study aims to investigate how novice learners perceive the role of AI in supporting their English speaking practice. The participants of this study were 10 novice learners of English Education Study Program who were determined by purposive sampling among 22 students who enrolled the Speaking for Informal Interaction Course. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews which were then analyzed by identifying themes related to learners’ perceptions of AI integration in speaking activities. The findings showed that in general the learners had positive view toward the use of AI in enhancing their speaking skills. They reported that AI tools provided opportunities for more frequent speaking practice, immediate feedback on pronunciation, and greater confidence in expressing their ideas. However, there are challenges noted, such as limited interaction quality compared to human communication. Overall, this study indicated that the integration of AI in speaking activities can support novice English learners in improving their speaking competence, confidence and engagement.
