Abstract

This research explores the influence of online integrated learning on students’ anxiety within the English Language Education Program at Muhammadiyah University of East Kalimantan (UMKT). The study investigates the impact of online integrated learning in the English General Course on students' anxiety levels. It examines significant differences in anxiety levels between students actively using online platforms and those who do not. The sample consisted of 117 freshmen, with data collected via questionnaires assessing comfort with technology, perceptions of its effectiveness, and its impact on anxiety levels. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, ANOVA, and Bonferroni multiple comparisons, were employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the findings. Key results indicate a mean anxiety score of 41.55 and a mean achievement score of 78.21, reflecting moderate anxiety and relatively high academic performance. The One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test confirmed the normal distribution of the data (p > 0.05), justifying the use of parametric methods. ANOVA results showed significant differences in anxiety levels and English scores based on online integrated learning (F = 166.159, p < 0.001). Bonferroni multiple comparisons revealed that lower anxiety was associated with higher English scores, with significant mean differences observed between low, medium, and high anxiety groups (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that online integrated learning significantly impacts students' anxiety levels, which in turn affects their academic performance. The study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers on the importance of creating supportive and anxiety-reducing learning environments in technology-enhanced settings

Abstract

This study focuses on the impact of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based language model, on students’ motivation and engagement in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The research employs both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, combining data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviewing. The sample included 133 EFL students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur, with additional narratives gathered from three selected participants. Quantitative findings reflected high levels of motivation (M = 23.89) and engagement (M = 22.88), with a strong positive correlation (r = .767, p < .01) between the two variables. Motivation was significantly higher than engagement based on the Mann-Whitney test. The qualitative findings reveal the uses of ChatGPT by the students as grammar correction, translation, and writing, which improved their confidence and learning interest. In contrast, some of the students expressed dependence on the tool and encountered issues of incorrect generation and lack of access in the free version. Despite all this, the participants expressed the need of using ChatGPT as a support tool rather than a replacement for independent learning. This study aims to address gaps in prior studies that examined ChatGPT’s benefits but rarely compared students’ motivational and engagement levels using both quantitative and qualitative lenses, this research offers a more comprehensive analysis of how learners experience AI-assisted language learning. The study concludes that ChatGPT can be an effective tool when used strategically. It offers practical implications for integrating AI in language education and encourages the development of digital literacy and critical thinking among learners.
