Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing the speaking skills of students at SMAN 1 Sembalun. Using a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the research involved 16 eleventh-grade students. The results indicated a significant improvement in speaking abilities, with the average pre-test score of 48.75 increasing to an average post-test score of 71.56 after the PBL intervention. This shift reflected enhanced pronunciation, fluency, and grammar usage, demonstrating that students became more confident communicators. While PBL proved beneficial, challenges such as time constraints and the need for effective facilitation were identified. This research contributed to the growing body of evidence supporting PBL as an effective pedagogical approach, highlighting its potential to foster independent learning and improve communication skills.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the factors contributing to students' challenges in undergraduate thesis writing within the English Education Study Program at Hamzanwadi University, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. It further explores the strategies students employ to overcome these challenges. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving 36 eighth-semester students as participants. Data were collected through a close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to provide quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate that psychological factors were the most significant challenge (78.72%), followed by sociocultural factors (16.51%) and linguistic factors (4.7%). To address these difficulties, students employed coping strategies, including identifying novel research topics and ideas through online books and journals, particularly from recent publications (within five years), and grounding their research in real-world issues. They also reviewed previous undergraduate theses, relevant literature, and methodological texts to strengthen their research framework. Additional measures included attending webinars on research methodology, enhancing internal and external motivation, engaging in intensive discussions with supervisors, and leveraging digital tools such as Grammarly and Quillbot for grammatical refinement and paraphrasing to ensure academic integrity. These findings offer valuable insights into the challenges of thesis writing and highlight practical strategies for students and educators to enhance the thesis-writing experience in higher education.

Abstract

The increasing integration of artificial intelligence in education raises questions about how students perceive and engage with AI tools for language learning. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of English education students at Hamzanwadi University regarding the use of ChatGPT in practicing English speaking skills. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires, classroom observations, and individual interviews with 20 sixth-semester students. The findings revealed that most students held positive perceptions of ChatGPT, citing its accessibility, privacy, and non-judgmental nature as key benefits that enhanced their speaking practice. Furthermore, students reported increased motivation, confidence, and engagement during their interactions with the chatbot, especially due to its 24/7 availability and supportive feedback environment. However, some participants noted limitations in the quality of ChatGPT’s feedback, which occasionally lacked depth or contextual understanding. The findings contribute to AI-assisted language learning literature by emphasizing the potential of ChatGPT to support speaking fluency and learner autonomy, especially when complemented by teacher guidance. This research suggests that integrating ChatGPT into EFL classrooms can create low-anxiety, personalized speaking opportunities, while also highlighting the need for pedagogical scaffolding to optimize its use.
