Abstract

Acquiring second language for young learners is a challenging task for them especially when it comes to speaking competence. Speaking may be the hardest competence that young learners have to master as it involves many aspects of language skills such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency at the same time. Young learners find difficulty in expressing their thought and idea in spoken language as they have to combine what is in their mind with the target language and then express it orally. These young learners finds difficulties in expressing their ideas in the target language because they have limited knowledge in vocabulary and grammar while speaking is the key skill in primary school foreign language curricula as the learners develop their social-awareness and become competent speakers of the target language (Toledo & Hoit, 2016).For this reason, some school holds English Proficiency test which include speaking as one of the test. Young learners or primary school students need to practice speaking more as it is the medium through which language is encountered, understood, practiced and learnt, (Cameron, 2001).This study aims to find out what are the factors affecting young learners’performance in speaking test and to find out what problems encountered by young learners in speaking test. This study was done in a private school in West Surabaya, Indonesia and the subjects were 87 students from second grade to sixth grade. The research instruments are questionnaire and interview. This study was expected to help students with their difficulties and improve their speaking skill. Keywords: speaking test, speaking skill, young learners, difficulties

Abstract

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction has brought up both  new opportunities and difficulties in language instruction. This study investigates ESP teachers’ views on AI integration, focusing on teachers’ readiness, perceived advantages, and encountered obstacles in ESP instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six ESP teachers from public and private universities and polytechnics in East Java, Indonesia. The participants were purposively chosen based on their experience in teaching ESP and exposure to AI-assisted learning approaches. Data were examined thematically using  Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. The results show that teachers generally interpret AI as pedagogically beneficial for improving instructional efficiency, generating contextualized ESP materials, providing rapid feedback, and supporting students’ autonomous learning. However, teachers’ readiness for AI integration remains conditional and influenced by AI literacy, pedagogical considerations, ethical concerns, academic integrity, and institutional support. The study also identifies several obstacles, including student overreliance on AI, inaccuracies and hallucinations in AI-generated content, limited infrastructure, and the absence of clear institutional policies regarding AI use in academic settings. The study highlights the importance of AI literacy, ethical guidelines, and institutional support to ensure responsible and pedagogically meaningful AI integration in ESP education.
