Abstract

The increasing presence of Generation Z (Gen Z) in the workforce has necessitated a shift in leadership strategies to effectively engage and inspire this digital-native generation. Gen Z employees prioritize autonomy, technological integration, and purpose-driven work, which challenges traditional leadership models. This study explores the most effective leadership approaches for managing Gen Z, focusing on transformational, laissez-faire, and participative leadership styles. The research employs a literature review methodology, synthesizing existing studies on leadership theories, workplace behaviors, and generational expectations. Findings indicate that Gen Z employees thrive in flexible, digitally connected, and ethically conscious work environments. Transformational leadership, which emphasizes mentorship and motivation, proves particularly effective, while laissez-faire leadership supports their need for independence. However, a balanced approach is necessary, as Gen Z also requires structured feedback and career development opportunities. The study concludes that organizations must adopt adaptive, technology-driven, and value-oriented leadership models to attract and retain Gen Z employees. Leaders who embrace digital tools, corporate social responsibility, and continuous learning will create a dynamic and motivated workforce that fosters innovation and long-term success.

Abstract

This study investigates English course teachers' perspectives on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT, in English Language Teaching (ELT) within the informal education sector in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected from 17 teachers through questionnaires to explore their experiences, perceived benefits, and challenges associated with AI integration. The findings reveal that 64.29% of teachers recognized AI's potential to streamline lesson planning and generate ideas, while 42.86% appreciated its ability to personalize instruction. Additionally, 14.29% highlighted its role in enhancing language skill practice. However, significant concerns emerged, with 50% of teachers fearing reduced teacher-student interaction and 42.86% worrying about AI undermining traditional teaching values. Ethical issues, including potential bias (14.29%) and misinformation (7.14%), were also noted. The study concludes that while AI offers transformative opportunities in ELT, its integration must be supported by teacher training, resource allocation, and a balanced approach to preserve human-centered teaching principles. These findings provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to harness the potential of AI in language education.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence and nature of speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMAN 15 Medan, with a particular focus on physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research utilized observations and interviews to capture a comprehensive picture of the students' anxiety experiences. Analysis of the data revealed that physical symptoms were the most frequently reported, with a total of 83 instances documented. These included rapid heartbeat, difficulty speaking, trembling, and difficulty breathing, among others. Emotional symptoms were also prominent, with students frequently expressing feelings of nervousness, fear, and embarrassment. Mental symptoms, while less common, included issues such as memory lapses and cognitive disruptions. The findings indicate that speaking anxiety manifests predominantly through physical and emotional symptoms, with mental symptoms being less frequent but still impactful. Additionally, many students exhibited multiple types of symptoms simultaneously, underscoring the multifaceted nature of speaking anxiety. This research highlights the need for a holistic approach to addressing speaking anxiety, suggesting that future interventions should focus on reducing physical symptoms, enhancing emotional support, and improving cognitive strategies to help students manage their speaking anxiety effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates metacognitive strategies employed by English language learners (ELLs) during listening comprehension activities. The objectives were to identify the metacognitive strategies commonly employed by English language learners during listening comprehension activities and to examine their awareness of the importance of metacognitive strategies in improving listening skills. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected data through questionnaires and interviews from university students in Medan, Indonesia. This method provided a comprehensive understanding of the strategies used by learners and their perceptions of the strategies' effectiveness. The results reveal that ELLs actively engage in metacognitive strategies, specifically planning, monitoring, and evaluating, to enhance their listening comprehension. The quantitative data from the questionnaires and qualitative insights from the interviews indicate a high level of awareness among students regarding the importance of these strategies. Ethical measures were strictly observed to ensure participant anonymity. This study contributes to the field of language education by highlighting the critical role of metacognitive strategies in listening comprehension and providing empirical evidence of their use among ELLs.
