Abstract

The use of generative Artificial Intelligence has increasingly influenced English Language Teaching, particularly in supporting speaking practice. One widely used AI tool is ChatGPT, which offers flexible opportunities for language learning. However, studies on students’ perceptions of its use in speaking activities at the senior high school level remain limited. This study aims to explore EFL students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT for speaking practice. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through a questionnaire and supported by semi-structured interviews with selected students, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that students perceive ChatGPT as a useful tool that provides additional opportunities for practice, increases confidence, and supports independent learning. However, several challenges were also identified, including over-reliance on the tool, uncertainty about the accuracy of responses, and the lack of real human interaction. Students also emphasized the importance of teacher guidance in using ChatGPT effectively and responsibly. These findings suggest that students’ perceptions should be considered in integrating AI tools into language learning, and that guided use of ChatGPT can support more meaningful speaking instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the learning strategies used in English learning by the vocational high school students who were supported with KIP money in Babat, Lamongan. While the financial support from KIP has improved access to education, the learning outcomes are leaving students with incomplete literacy skills and far away from declared welfare statuses, especially with respect to foreign language learning and language acquisition. The study employed a qualitative descriptive case study design, and involved 45 KIP students in Babat, Lamongan, and SILL questionnaire, interviews, and academic performance data were collected. The study found the most common strategies were metacognitive strategies (which included planning, self-regulating, and effective monitoring), and highest achievers and lower achievers were more likely to use social strategies. Different constraints of contexts played a role among students' variables for participating in learning, such as having materials and supportive parents, and those using internal regulation, were able to demonstrate great academic resilience to learn English. This study concludes that learning strategies for English learning, particularly metacognitive strategy, are only a few causes of English achievement based on learned behaviour, access, and material and monetary assistance.
