Abstract

This study aims to examine the latest developments in the application of machine learning, software, applications, and websites in language teaching. With the advancement of technology, language learning is increasingly facilitated by the use of digital tools that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to improve the learning experience in an adaptive and interactive manner. The study reviewed a variety of platforms that use this technology, including key features that support personalization, automated feedback, and student performance assessments. In addition, this study discusses the effectiveness of the technology in supporting independent and formal learning in the classroom, including implementation challenges in various educational settings. It was found that although this technology provides a great opportunity in accelerating language learning, there are some limitations, such as limited access in regions with low digital infrastructure, as well as lack of integration with relevant cultural and social contexts in language learning. This study concludes that machine learning-based technology in language teaching has great potential, but further research is needed to optimize its application in various educational contexts.

Abstract

The problem faced by English teachers when teaching listening was how to make all students focus on the learning material and be active, considering that not all students can focus on what is conveyed and often there were students who also busy playing cellphones. To overcome this problem, the English teacher sometimes asked students some questions to regain their learning intention. The objective of this research is to analyze the strategies in teaching listening to students and the problems found by the English teacher in teaching listening as well as how they overcome the problems. The research was conducted by using descriptive qualitative research. The subject of this research was a English teacher. The research collected the data through interview guidance and uses library research, which compiles extensive documentation on a single or a number of topics. Both original sources and secondary sources are used in this investigation. As a conclusion, this study can argue that using multimedia to teach listening suppresses some of the unnatural aspects of the more conventional ear training in EFL classrooms while also bringing about a number of potential advantages.

Abstract

This research examines the practice of entrepreneurship education in universities and offers insight into the future direction in this field. The study evaluated various approaches and methodologies applied in entrepreneurship education programs at universities worldwide through a comprehensive literature review. The main focus of this study is to identify the latest trends, challenges faced, and opportunities that can be utilized to improve the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education. The review results show that entrepreneurship education programs vary significantly in curriculum, teaching methods, and industry involvement. Some universities have adopted interdisciplinary and practical approaches, including business incubators, mentoring programs, and project-based learning. However, challenges such as lack of resources, teaching quality differences, and program impact assessment limitations still need to be addressed. The research suggests several future directions for entrepreneurship education in universities, including increased collaboration between academics and industry practitioners, integration of digital technologies for more flexible and interactive learning, and better evaluation frameworks to measure learning outcomes and the long-term impact of entrepreneurship programs. This research contributes to the literature by providing insight into how universities can develop and implement more effective entrepreneurship education programs that are relevant to market needs

Abstract

Abstract. Self-directed learning (SDL) is critical in modern education, empowering learners to independently manage their learning processes and fostering lifelong learning. Despite its advantages, SDL presents significant challenges, including cognitive overload, motivational barriers, and ineffective decision-making. This study explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance SDL by providing personalized decision assistance. Using a qualitative approach—through case studies, expert interviews, and literature reviews—the study examines the use of AI-driven tools such as adaptive learning platforms, personalized recommendation systems, and intelligent tutoring systems. Findings reveal that these technologies improve resource selection, learning efficiency, and engagement by offering real-time, adaptive feedback and personalized learning paths. Participants reported increased autonomy, reduced cognitive load, and increased learners’ motivation, leading to measurable improvements in learning outcomes. However, limitations such as over-reliance on AI and the lack of emotional and contextual understanding underscore the need for a hybrid approach that combines AI with human oversight. This study highlights the potential of AI to significantly reshape and enhance self-directed learning (SDL) by making it more personalized, efficient, and accessible. It also offers recommendations for integrating AI into educational practices in ways that balance technological innovation with essential human-centred guidance

Abstract

The integration of English language education into pesantren presents a growing pedagogical challenge in Indonesia, where traditional religious instruction often dominates curriculum design and classroom culture. Despite increasing awareness of English as a global communication tool, its implementation in pesantren remains fragmented and culturally misaligned. This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how pesantren leadership, educational substance, and institutional culture influence English instruction. Focusing on Darussalam Buntet pesantren—a semi-modern pesantren that integrates kitab kuning with formal education—this research uses a qualitative descriptive method grounded in Lawrence Friedman’s legal system theory, encompassing structure, substance, and culture. Data were gathered through interviews and observations. Findings reveal that the structure of pesantren is fully governed by the kiai, who morally supports English instruction but has not issued binding policies to institutionalize it. Substantively, the pesantren shows openness to modern knowledge, yet English remains peripheral in its vision and curriculum. Culturally, the use of English in students' daily interactions is minimal, limited primarily to extracurricular programs such as English Day and English Club. In response, this study proposes a hybrid pedagogical model that combines Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) with Content-Based Instruction (CBI), incorporating Islamic themes—such as thaharah and prayer—to make English both linguistically effective and religiously relevant. This approach aligns with pesantren values and students’ cognitive frameworks, thereby enhancing motivation and legitimacy. The study recommends integrated curriculum reform, strengthened teacher capacity, and leader-driven policies that respect pesantren traditions while preparing students for global engagement through English proficiency.

Abstract

Religious moderation aligns with the principles of sustainable development by fostering a culture of peace, justice, and inclusivity. Islamic educational settings often integrate religious values into the ELT curriculum, incorporating Islamic stories, teachings, and ethical principles into language learning materials and activities. By using this methodological approach, this research aims to provide valuable insights into effective strategies and key challenges in encouraging religious moderation through ELT in an Islamic education environment. The data used in this research were interview transcripts, focus group recordings, and documents which were then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring themes, patterns, and insights related to strategies and challenges in encouraging religious moderation through ELT. This study adopted a qualitative research design to explore the various experiences, perspectives and practices of educators and stakeholders regarding the promotion of religious moderation through ELT. The study identified some strategies for promoting religious moderation: Incorporate Multicultural Content; Encourage Critical Thinking; Facilitate Open Dialogue; Promote Empathy and Respect; Address Misconceptions and Stereotypes; Highlight Common Values; Engage with Religious Leaders and Community Members and Empower Educators with Training. Some challenges as well were also found: Sensitivity and Cultural Context; Resistance to Change; Misinformation and Stereotypes; Balancing Academic Freedom and Sensitivity; Language Barriers; Lack of Resources and Training; Community and Parental Concerns; and Political and Social Context.

Abstract

The advent of generative AI has sparked widespread debate about its implications for creativity and innovation. This article explores the dual nature of generative AI as both a potential threat and a catalyst for creative progress. While AI systems are capable of producing art, literature, music, and design with remarkable efficiency, concerns have emerged regarding the erosion of human-centered creativity and the risk of homogenization in artistic expression. On the other hand, proponents argue that AI serves as a powerful tool that expands the boundaries of creativity by augmenting human capabilities, fostering new forms of artistic collaboration, and accelerating innovation in various fields. This article critically examines both perspectives, analyzing the role of generative AI in shaping the future of creativity. It highlights the need for ethical frameworks and a balanced approach to integrating AI technologies, ensuring that human imagination remains central to creative endeavors while leveraging AI’s potential for transformative innovation.
