Abstract

This research study aims to examine the factors that trigger anxiety among students learning the English language in the classroom within a private senior high school setting in Makassar, Indonesia. A qualitative approach was employed whereby data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). A total of 20 students came on board, representing a selection of students at various levels of proficiency. The study outlines learners’ anxiety based on their personal, environmental, and instructional factors. Some of the personal reasons that anxiety is created include fear of negative judgments, low self-esteem, or even previous harsh remarks about an individual; such factors do decrease students’ involvement in the lessons. Some other more global aspects, such as a worry about what others think and competitive environments, aggravated the anxiety felt by the students. So, contradictory to this explanatory factor, a range of focal elements, including how difficult the task was, whether there was a focus on speaking accurately, and the nature of tests targeting particular tasks, also proved to create a high level of anxiety. The FLCAS questionnaire revealed that students did experience quite a bit of test anxiety and also apprehensiveness of test taking. In classroom settings, the researchers were able to notice some behavioral aspects of anxiety, such as the inability to engage verbally and the lack of willingness to maintain eye contact during conversations. The study recommends that instead of making language learning full of competition, instructors should try to find good explanations of the language and assist them in overcoming that language anxiety. Besides, there is a need for an in-depth study of the ways that may help to decrease anxiety in English language classrooms.

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-enhanced English Learning (TEEL) has been widely explored in general English instruction but remains underexamined in vocational education, particularly dental technology. Dental technology students must master specialized terminology, communicate effectively with healthcare professionals, and engage with industry-specific tools—many of which operate in English—creating a growing need for targeted language instruction. This study investigates how TEEL supports English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Teaching English for Specific Purposes (TESP) in addressing dental technicians' specific linguistic and professional requirements. Data were collected from fifteen dental technology students enrolled in TEEL lessons at a private university in Indonesia through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations to explore this. The classroom observations focused on students participating in an English course incorporating TEEL, documenting their interactions with digital tools, engaging in lessons, and applying language skills in professional practice scenarios. Thematic analysis revealed two key findings: (1) the benefits of TEEL for dental technology students, including improved access to resources, self-paced learning, and increased motivation and engagement, and (2) challenges in integrating technology, such as limited access to digital tools and difficulties in adapting them for vocational learning. The results indicate that TEEL positively influences students’ acquisition of technical English, enhances their self-efficacy in professional communication, and facilitates real-world learning through interactive simulations. However, disparities in digital literacy and unequal access to technology hinder effective implementation. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve digital literacy and ensure equitable access to technology, thereby maximizing TEEL’s impact on vocational education.
