Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now beginning to be integrated into language learning, particularly in pronunciation practice. However, there is a lack of research exploring students' perceptions and challenges in using AI-based applications for pronunciation practice, especially in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) learning in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions and challenges toward the use of AI-based applications for pronunciation practice by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989) and Challenges with the Use of AI in ELT/L framework by Crompton et al. (2024). The research employed a qualitative study with data collection through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving 34 English Language Education students. The study found that students view AI-based applications, specifically Google Translate, Elsa Speak and Duolingo, as effective and user-friendly tools that provide personalized feedback, repetitive practice, and flexible learning plans. Apart from that, students also feel that the apps help them to gain a better understanding about important features like consonants, intonation and stress. However, several challenges were identified, including technical problems, recognition errors, privacy concerns, and doubts about the accuracy of feedback. Despite these challenges, AI-based applications show promising potential to support pronunciation learning if there are further improvement to address existing limitations.

Abstract

Creative writing is essential in fostering students' ability to express ideas and emotions, yet it remains underemphasized in EFL classrooms due to perceived challenges and low motivation among learners. The rise of digital platforms, particularly Instagram, presents an opportunity to enhance creative writing by leveraging its multimodal and interactive features. Despite growing interest in social media’s educational potential, a comprehensive synthesis of Instagram’s role in creative writing instruction remains underexplored. This conceptual review examines how Instagram can support EFL students’ creative writing by analyzing 30 scholarly articles through a systematic literature review and VOS viewer-based keyword mapping. Findings indicate that Instagram’s visual and interactive affordances—such as captions, stories, and hashtags—effectively stimulate creativity, improve narrative construction, and foster engagement through peer feedback and authentic audiences. The platform also promotes digital literacy and learner autonomy by bridging formal and informal learning environments. However, challenges like digital distractions and privacy concerns necessitate structured pedagogical integration. The study concludes that Instagram, when used strategically, can enhance creative writing skills by aligning with students’ digital practices, though further research is needed to assess long-term impacts across diverse learner contexts. These insights offer practical recommendations for educators to design scaffolded, multimodal writing tasks that leverage Instagram’s features while addressing ethical considerations. The implications highlight the transformative potential of social media in making creative writing more accessible, engaging, and relevant for 21st-century learners.

Abstract

This chapter examines the role of Wayground (formerly Quizizz) in improving English as Foreign Language (EFL) skills through a case study perspective examining teachers’ perceptions. The aim is to discuss teachers’ positive and negative perceptions regarding the advantages, challenges, and practical steps for optimization in an EFL context. The focus of the discussion is derived from qualitative insights gained from previous research paired with empirical research highlighting key issues such as lack of student engagement, rote data-based assessment without learning, and test anxiety. Teachers largely have a positive view of Wayground due to its interactive features and real-time feedback mechanisms that actively engage and motivate learners. However, challenges related to quiz design, technological infrastructure, and the need for ongoing professional development are also important to further explore. This chapter outlines teachers’ perceptions of Wayground, its challenges, and specific educator-centered strategies aimed at increasing participatory engagement while addressing data-related instructional and technological barriers all framed in maximizing the benefits offered by Wayground. Ultimately, this chapter contributes to the understanding of how powerful technological tools like Wayground can revolutionize EFL pedagogy towards a more engaging, effective, and inclusive educational paradigm.
