Abstract

This research intends to assess the point of view of English Education students of Universitas Negeri Makassar regarding the application of Artificial intelligence (AI) resources in the skin of language learning. In this context, the research may engage AI tools Grammarly, ChatGPT, and others and analyze both the benefits and the challenges associated with these applications. The study adopted a convergent parallel design and collected qualitative and quantitative data from 100 respondents through surveys and interviews. The findings revealed that using AI tools increases learning efficiency (89%), enhances writing (82%), and boosts students’ self-efficacy toward completing academic work (75%). Nonetheless, difficulties such as excessive dependence on AI, lack of comprehension of the functionalities of the specified tools, to mention a few, and the problem of depending on the accuracy of responses generated by AI were also documented. In addition, the research brings attention to the potential of AI in language education while stressing the importance of integration to avoid dependence. It is recommended for educators to reinforce responsible use of AI, discourage misuse of AI, uphold academic honesty, and discourage autonomous use of AI. In the next strides, the study will require other attention in the areas of most interest when using AI tool inclusion measures better aimed at addressing the barriers identified impacting the use of language tools for students.

Abstract

Technology integration in education has become increasingly important, particularly in enhancing collaborative learning and multimodal writing. Platforms like Canva, which allow students to combine text with visual elements, are seen as valuable tools for fostering creativity and improving communication in collaborative projects. However, there is limited research on student experiences using such platforms in collaborative writing tasks, especially in EFL writing classroom. This study aims to explore students' experiences and perceptions of collaborative learning through multimodal writing using Canva, focusing on its impact on writing quality and digital literacy. A qualitative case study was conducted with 36 English Language Education program undergraduate students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals. The findings reveal that Canva facilitated effective collaboration, improved writing quality, and enhanced creativity by allowing students to integrate graphic elements into their compositions. However, challenges such as technical issues, limited digital skills, and communication barriers were also identified. Despite these obstacles, students employed strategies like peer support, regular check-ins, and using alternative communication platforms to overcome difficulties. The study highlights the importance of providing digital literacy training and ensuring access to technology in educational settings. These findings suggest that platforms like Canva can significantly improve collaborative learning and digital literacy, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to integrate technology into their teaching practices.
