Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as the defining technological force of the twenty-first century, fundamentally transforming industries, reshaping scientific inquiry, and reconfiguring the boundaries of what machines can accomplish. This paper presents a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative review of AI's most recent advances, covering key paradigms including Natural Language Processing (NLP), deep learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, generative AI, and federated learning. Methodologically, this study adopts a structured narrative review: 48 peer-reviewed articles and authoritative technical reports published between 2019 and 2024 were retrieved from Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, the ACL Anthology, and arXiv, and then screened and synthesized thematically across six AI paradigms. A systematic analysis of benchmark performance data across leading AI models, including GPT-4, Gemini Ultra, and AlphaFold 2, demonstrates measurable progress in accuracy, efficiency, and versatility. This study further maps the critical challenges impeding AI's responsible deployment of AI: data bias, computational cost, lack of explainability, adversarial vulnerabilities, and regulatory fragmentation. Drawing on evidence from recent peer-reviewed literature and industry reports, we propose a structured roadmap for future research directions, including Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Explainable AI (XAI), Green AI, quantum machine learning, and human-AI collaboration frameworks. Our analysis underscores the urgent need for interdisciplinary research, ethical governance, and sustainable AI design principles to ensure that AI development aligns with the long-term values and societal goals of humanity.

Abstract

Student motivation has always been an obstacle within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and it continues to be a technological barrier with learners at the beginner level. This study investigates the impact of the gamified, mobile-assisted language learning application, Memrise, on students’ motivation to learn English. The study aimed to provide insight into what the effective extent of Memrise is and how it can promote learner motivation within EFL environments. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, with 28 first-year university students enrolled in a Beginner English 2 course at a university in Indonesia. Data for the study were collected using observations, structured questionnaires informed by Self-Determination Theory and Connectivism, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and using paired sample t-tests, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students' motivation after the Memrise intervention, and the students reported higher autonomy, competence, and engagement than before the intervention. The additional features, including chatbot conversations, real-time feedback, and progress tracking, helped to facilitate the improved levels of motivation. The paper argues that Memrise is an effective strategy for encouraging sustainable motivation in EFL learners and contributes to the ongoing discourse on mobile learning, presenting practical implications for educators and app developers to consider as they develop increasingly engaging and learner-centered digital environments.

Abstract

Being in disaster-risk areas frequently affected by floods, landslides, and climate change, schools increasingly seek age-appropriate ways to introduce environmental awareness while sustaining meaningful early English exposure. However, early-grade EFL classrooms often have limited resources to integrate eco-centric themes into instruction. This study aimed to establish expert-based validity evidence for an interactive eco-themed e-storybook series designed for Indonesian Grade 1 EFL learners. Using a two-round modified Delphi approach, 12 experts (teachers, language specialists, and multimedia specialists) evaluated the series through structured questionnaires and open-ended feedback, followed by targeted revisions after Round 1. Quantitative judgments were analyzed using content-validity indices (I-CVI and S-CVI/Ave) and Aiken’s V to estimate item relevance and agreement, while qualitative comments were analyzed thematically to identify revision priorities. After revision, expert judgments converged, indicating that the series is linguistically accessible for beginners, pedagogically feasible for routine-based classroom use, ecologically interpretable through child-friendly actions, and multimodally coherent when audio and interactive features remain purposeful. Qualitative feedback prioritized stronger text–image alignment for key expressions, simplified page layouts to minimize overload, improved replay and accessible glossary supports, and child-safety safeguards (e.g., ad-free, break reminder). Overall, the findings support the series as a validated instructional resource oriented to integrating early EFL learning with eco-literacy meanings.
