Abstract

TikTok has become a prominent social media platform, which is notable for its engaging features that display short and fascinating videos. This study aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges confronted by students using TikTok for self-directed language learning. This research employed an interpretative phenomenological analysis design to systematically explain and directly answer the research questions through in-depth group interviews with eight participants who were EFL students with experiences in self-directed language learning using TikTok. The findings of this study revealed that there are many opportunities presented by TikTok for self-directed language learning, including time efficiency, practical and creative application, and its capability to improve students’ English skills through authentic, credible, and memorable lessons. Despite these opportunities, students face several main challenges when using TikTok for language learning, including difficulty in controlling discipline, distraction from irrelevant content, confusion of English accents across videos, and device constraints. This research has significant implications for educators in using TikTok for students’ self-directed language learning. By understanding the opportunities and challenges associated with using TikTok, educators can provide effective guidance and support to their learners. Further research should explore strategies to maximize the opportunities in the students’ use of TikTok for self-directed English learning and in their selection of language learning content on TikTok.

Abstract

Modality is a key in articulating the authors' viewpoints in their arguments. To address the gap, this recent study aims to thoroughly describe the interpersonal meaning in terms of modality within English Literature’s undergraduate theses. Textual analysis using a corpus-based approach was rigorously applied. This research utilized AntConc 4.2.0 version as instrument. The researcher meticulously selected 40 undergraduate theses between March and August 2023. The SFL concept proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) was implemented to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that undergraduate students largely used modalization in the context of probability across the undergraduate theses. It indicates that they utilize the modality to persuade readers by describing upcoming developments and exchanging information with them. Undergraduate students additionally employed medium modality with greater frequency than low modality. It indicates that they perceive the readers as having the same status as others, which promotes a peaceful relationship between them. It suggests that undergraduate students intentionally become involved with the readers through the ideas presented in the undergraduate theses, harmonizing their positions of authority with the readers, leading to a warm connection between them. Thus, it reflects the close distance between conversational participants.

Abstract

This study investigates how QuillBot-assisted Collaborative Writing affects EFL students' descriptive writing performance and self-efficacy. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 45 Indonesian senior high school students were divided into control (21 students) and experimental groups (24 students). The experimental group engaged in collaborative writing with QuillBot, while the control group followed a conventional teacher-centered approach. Data collection included pre-test and post-test writing assessments and a self-efficacy questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to analyze the data due to violations of normality and homogeneity assumptions. The result revealed a significant difference in post-test scores between the groups. Meanwhile, self-efficacy showed no statistically significant influence on writing performance. These findings suggest that QuillBot-assisted Collaborative Writing enhances students’ interaction and writing proficiency. The use of QuillBot provides timely feedback and reduces the teachers’ load. Future research should explore long-term effects, student engagement levels in the areas of cognitive, behavior, social, and affective engagement, and qualitative perspectives on AI-assisted writing in K-12 setting. This research contributes to the growing discussion related to QuillBot’s roles in language learning, emphasizing its abilities as a complementary rather than autonomous instructional tool.

Abstract

MALL (Mobile-Assisted Language Learning) in educational settings has become increasingly widespread. Particularly in the English learning and teaching process. There are various studies investigating MALL which is believed to help improve language learning and teaching process. This paper systematically explored the use of MALL in English learning and teaching processes across educational levels in Indonesia based on empirical studies. Forty-five articles were selected from reputable journals, reviewed to identify the pedagogical approaches offered by MALL to know the potential mobile device tools that could be used in the English learning and teaching process. The findings have shown a steady increase in research on the use of MALL across educational levels in Indonesia. However, the need for improvement studies employs the mixed-method approach, qualitative and quantitative for future studies. In addition, further investigation is also required to assess the efficiency of MALL in enhancing English skills. In order to understand how MALL promotes multimodal material, learners’ autonomy, incorporates real, and increases students’ engagement through gamification, this study synthesizes current empirical data with an emphasis on the Indonesian context. This study offers a contextualized understanding of pedagogical techniques pertinent and mobile learning tools to Indonesian Education levels. In contrast to other reviews that concentrated on specialize ability or more general global viewpoints. To sum up, future research should focus on the thoughtful integration of MALL, pedagogical approach, and the potential mobile device tools that can be used to yield more meaningful outcomes
