Abstract

The importance of conducting this research is to determine whether AI can be a possible tool for students to assist them in writing English essays. There is a gap between the theoretical potential of AI tools in improving English essay writing and the practical challenges faced by students, such as the issue of plagiarism, inaccurate information, and unstable internet access in using AI when writing English essays. This study aims to identify students’ perception on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in writing English essays at Islamic University of Indragiri. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through a questionnaire consisting of 25 statement items, which were given to 64 students. Data were analyzed using a 4-point Likert scale. The results showed that the majority of students had a positive perception of their familiarity and understanding of AI, as well as its benefits in writing English essays. However, their perceptions of the originality and accuracy of the information provided by AI tended to be neutral, considering that some of the information obtained was not always in accordance with the topic or was inaccurate. On the other hand, obstacles such as unstable internet connection quality also affected the effectiveness of using AI. Overall, students' perceptions of the use of AI in writing English essays can be categorized as moderate, with differences of opinion regarding its advantages and limitations.

Abstract

Figurative language is a crucial element of literary expression, enriching narratives by conveying complex emotions and imagery beyond literal meaning, thereby deepening reader engagement and thematic resonance. Despite extensive research on figurative language in literature, specific analyses focusing on its distribution and function within contemporary translated Japanese novels particularly the melancholic and poetic works of Makoto Shinkai, such as 5 Centimeters Per Second remain underexplored. This study aims to identify and analyze the types, frequency, and functions of figurative language specifically simile, metaphor, hyperbole, and verbal irony in the English translation of Shinkai’s novel, in order to understand its contribution to the narrative’s emotional and thematic impact. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling, the researcher systematically identified and interpreted figurative expressions within the text. Key findings reveal that metaphor (42,2%) and simile (37,1%) dominate the figurative landscape, collectively constituting 79,3% of instances. These are used extensively to evoke vivid imagery and profound emotional depth (e.g., “Akari’s presence had been my only lifeline”). Hyperbole appears less frequently (20,3%), intensifying moments of emotional extremity, while verbal irony is entirely absent (0%), aligning with the novel’s earnest, introspective tone. The study concludes that Shinkai strategically prioritizes metaphor and simile to explore themes of distance, longing, and transience, utilizes hyperbole for dramatic emphasis, and eschews irony to maintain emotional sincerity. This pattern underscores how figurative language functions as a primary vehicle for the novel’s poignant storytelling.

Abstract

Technological advancement has significantly impacted English language learning, especially in reading skills. However, there remains a gap between the utilization of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a comprehensive understanding of students' perceptions of its influence. This study aims to explore the perceptions of English Department students regarding the impact of AI on enhancing their reading comprehensions. A quantitative research method with a survey design was employed, involving 21 fourth-semester students. The instrument used was a Likert-scale questionnaire covering three key indicators: selection, organization, and interpretation. The findings revealed that students held a positive perception of AI in reading, with an overall mean score of 3.14. These results indicate that AI effectively assists students in selecting appropriate reading materials, organizing information, and interpreting texts more effectively. The study concludes that AI can serve as a beneficial tool in the reading learning process, although it cannot replace the crucial role of educators in shaping character and moral values. Therefore, it is recommended that educators and researchers consider a balanced integration of AI in English language learning.
