Abstract

Teaching English requires effective strategies for students to improve their language skills. English Native Speakers play an important role in the learning process as they provide a more authentic language experience. However, English Native Speakers also face various challenges, especially when teaching in one of the junior high schools in Manokwari, West Papua. This study aims to identify the challenges English Native Speakers face in teaching English in that school. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and classroom observations. The results showed that English Native Speakers experience challenges in dealing with differences in students' ability levels, cultural gaps, and adaptation to the local education system. In addition, large class sizes and limited opportunities for students to practice English outside the classroom are also barriers to learning. By understanding these challenges, it is hoped that teaching strategies can be improved and recommendations made for more effective English language teaching in Manokwari.

Abstract

In the digital era, integrating social media into language learning has become increasingly important to address students’ writing challenges and align instructional practices with their technological realities. This study aims to explore how social media can be used to improve students’ writing skills at the tertiary level. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed to examine students’ experiences in using social media. The participants were 54 university students enrolled in the Short Functional Text course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, with 25 students purposively selected for semi-structured interviews. Data were collected through online questionnaires and interviews, while triangulation was applied to ensure validity. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify social media platforms used, reasons for usage, as well as perceived advantages and disadvantages. The findings indicate that students most frequently used Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, WhatsApp, and Duolingo. These platforms were chosen due to ease of access, practicality, and the availability of abundant learning content. The main benefits included improved writing skills, increased confidence, flexible learning opportunities, access to reliable resources, and enhanced vocabulary. However, students also faced challenges such as distractions, poor internet connection, low confidence in English ability, and decreased grammar and spelling accuracy.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in teaching English at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta. It employed a qualitative case study approach involving an English teacher, Mrs. FAM, who was selected based on her innovative contributions to AI adoption in English language instruction. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The interview was conducted in Indonesian to obtain richer and more detailed information, while classroom observation involved 32 students to examine the implementation of AI, student-teacher interaction, effectiveness, and possible barriers. The findings reveal that AI was mainly used as a supporting tool in lesson preparation, material development, instructional media, and evaluation. In practice, AI-assisted materials were not used directly, but were first reviewed and adapted to suit the curriculum and students’ needs. The implementation was reflected in the teaching of question tags and passive voice through the use of Google Sites, PowerPoint, projectors, and AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini. In addition, evaluation was conducted through individual exercises on Google Sites, allowing students to receive immediate scores. The study concludes that AI plays a complementary role in supporting more practical and organized English language teaching, although its effectiveness depends on the teacher’s pedagogical adaptation.
