Abstract

Generative AI tools have introduced literacy demands in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction that existing frameworks do not fully address. This narrative review synthesizes empirical and theoretical studies published between 2020 and 2025 to examine prompt literacy as a core dimension of AI literacy in EFL writing pedagogy. Drawing primarily on research from Asian EFL contexts, the review pursues three objectives: conceptualizing prompt literacy, examining the linguistic and cognitive challenges EFL learners encounter when formulating prompts, and identifying pedagogical approaches to integrate prompt literacy into writing instruction. Analysis across the reviewed literature indicates that effective prompting requires linguistic precision, rhetorical awareness, and metacognitive monitoring rather than technical procedures alone. Current AI literacy frameworks offer limited guidance on text-based interaction with generative systems. Language proficiency shapes prompting practices: lower-proficiency learners rely on generic requests, while higher-proficiency learners engage in strategic refinement. Cognitive load from simultaneous language formulation and AI interaction may constrain performance, though metacognitive support mitigates these effects. Four pedagogical dimensions emerge: systematic instructional frameworks, iterative interaction patterns, teacher professional development requirements, and assessment approaches addressing both processes and products. The review argues that prompt literacy functions as a foundational competency for effective AI-mediated composition in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated professional writing anxiety among English Education students at Pattimura University, examining anxiety levels, types, causes, and coping strategies in workplace communication contexts. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, 57 students completed adapted Professional Writing Anxiety Inventory and Professional Writing Anxiety Causes Inventory instruments, while 12 purposively selected participants engaged in semi-structured interviews. Results revealed moderate anxiety levels across the population (M = 3.17), with cognitive anxiety emerging as the dominant dimension (M = 3.47), followed by somatic anxiety (M = 3.32) and avoidance behavior (M = 2.73). Time pressure served as the primary trigger for somatic responses, with 66.6% of students experiencing heart palpitations during time-constrained professional writing tasks. Causal analysis identified insufficient practice in professional writing formats (M = 3.67), linguistic difficulties (M = 3.63), and time pressure concerns (M = 3.60) as primary contributing factors. Qualitative findings revealed four sophisticated coping strategies: systematic preparation and quality control, cognitive and environmental regulation, social support utilization, and emerging technology integration. The study demonstrates that professional writing contexts create distinct anxiety patterns compared to general academic writing, requiring specialized pedagogical approaches. These findings contribute theoretical understanding of context-specific anxiety manifestation while providing evidence-based guidance for Professional Writing curriculum development in Indonesian EFL contexts.

Abstract

Academic reading proficiency is a fundamental determinant of success in higher education, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study examined the challenges faced by English Education Study Program students at Pattimura University when reading academic articles. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design, the research integrated quantitative survey data (n=39) with qualitative insights from focus group discussions (n=8) to examine reading difficulties, contributing factors, and strategic responses. Findings revealed a hierarchical pattern of challenges, with linguistic difficulties (M=3.31) representing the most significant barrier, followed by cognitive processing (M=2.99) and strategic processing challenges (M=2.93). Complex sentence structures (M=3.28) emerged as the dominant linguistic challenge, surpassing specialized terminology (M=3.18) and unfamiliar vocabulary (M=3.21). Reader factors (M=3.11), particularly motivational sustainability with longer texts (M=3.21), exerted slightly greater influence than contextual factors (M=2.91). Students employed diverse strategies to navigate these challenges, including pre-reading orientation, vocabulary support mechanisms, and emerging technology-assisted approaches, though collaborative reading remained underutilized. Identifying "strategic inertia"—students' reluctance to experiment with new approaches—represents a novel contribution to understanding reading strategy development in academic contexts. These findings suggest that practical approaches to developing academic reading skills must simultaneously address multiple dimensions, including linguistic features, cognitive processes, strategic approaches, and affective factors.

Abstract

Many EFL students spend years studying English without ever feeling confident enough to actually use it. This community service program at SMP Negeri 49 Maluku Tengah sought to address that gap by introducing creative English songwriting to build multimodal literacy among 40 eighth-grade students. The program ran across four stages: listening to and discussing selected English songs, writing original lyrics collaboratively in small groups, transforming those lyrics into complete musical compositions using Suno AI, and presenting the finished work to peers. Data were gathered through direct observation and reflective documentation throughout each session. Findings showed that students engaged with English more actively and more personally than conventional classroom tasks typically allow. The listening stage drew sustained attention from students who normally disengage during text-heavy instruction. The songwriting stage generated genuine collaboration and purposeful language use. The AI audio stage produced curiosity and investment that carried through to the final presentation. Students did not just practice English; they used it to make something. These findings suggest that multimodal songwriting activities can offer EFL learners a qualitatively different relationship with the language, one grounded in creative expression rather than academic compliance.
