Abstract

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how pre-service teachers (PSTs) employ classroom language for Opening, Running, and Closing the Lesson in the classroom. A qualitative method was applied where the data were gathered through questionnaire sheets and an observation checklist. Thirty students in the second year of the English Education Study Program in Surabaya, Indonesia, participated in this study. The findings reveal that PSTs have applied classroom languages appropriately and successfully for eight components of basic teaching skills. Nevertheless, three components that do not vary are the language expressions attributed to opening the lesson for checking attendance, varying stimuli for setting and cleaning up teaching media, and organizing the small group discussion. The findings can be valuable input for the teacher of an education program to be more concerned with the teacher candidates' language variations to prepare them for successful classroom interactions. Keywords: classroom language, pre-service teachers, classroom interactions.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v13.i2.202304

Abstract

This study addresses the limited understanding of how digital storytelling projects are implemented in secondary EFL speaking classes, despite their recognized potential for fostering communicative and creative learning. It explores the implementation process and outcomes of a Digital Storytelling Project (DSTP) conducted in an Indonesian EFL secondary school. Using a qualitative interpretive case study design, data were gathered through classroom observations and rubric-based assessments involving one English teacher and twenty-one eighth-grade students divided into four groups. The analysis revealed that DSTP was carried out through three main stages, including planning, implementing, and reporting, with varying degrees of teacher facilitation. The project stimulated students’ engagement, collaboration, and creativity. However, insufficient scaffolding and unclear guiding questions during the planning phase affected project coherence and duration. Students’ speaking performance improved particularly in fluency and pronunciation, while issues remained in content clarity and narrative structure. Overall, DSTP provided meaningful opportunities for authentic language use and collaborative learning. The study concludes that digital storytelling, when implemented with adequate instructional scaffolding, can serve as a pedagogically rich medium for teaching speaking and aligns with the principles of Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and student agency.
