Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers transformative potential, yet EFL learners still face significant hurdles in writing proficiency. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Google Gemini, a multimodal Large Language Model (LLM), in enhancing students' writing performance and overcoming psychological barriers, such as low motivation. Using a qualitative approach grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Socio-constructivism theory, this research examines how Gemini's real-time feedback functions as a "More Knowledgeable Other" (MKO). The findings demonstrate that Gemini effectively identifies deficiencies in sentence structure and grammar, acting as a vital catalyst for boosting fluency and coherence in EFL compositions. Furthermore, students perceive the tool as highly intuitive, particularly during the initial drafting and planning phases. The study concludes that while Gemini provides essential scaffolding within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), structured pedagogical supervision is necessary to prevent over-dependency. These results suggest that a synergy between AI support and human guidance is fundamental for sustainable second-language mastery in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of using Instagram as a writing teaching tool and to explore students’ perceptions of its implementation in Indonesian EFL classrooms. A quantitative research design employing a survey method was utilized, involving undergraduate students from the English Education Department at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentages and mean scores. The findings indicate that Instagram has a positive effect on students’ writing learning, particularly in enhancing writing practice and engagement. Furthermore, students’ perceptions toward the use of Instagram fall into a moderate to high category, suggesting that the platform is considered a useful and supportive learning tool. Aspects such as motivation, interaction, and engagement were also identified as contributing factors in supporting the writing learning process. However, the effectiveness of Instagram largely depends on its pedagogical integration within the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions of TikTok as a medium for learning English speaking skills. This research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 100 students of UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten using a five-point Likert scale. The findings reveal that students generally have positive perceptions of TikTok in supporting their speaking development. TikTok is considered helpful in improving speaking comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, imitation, and intonation. Among these aspects, vocabulary acquisition and intonation received the highest mean scores, indicating that TikTok effectively exposes students to authentic language use and natural speech patterns. Additionally, students tend to use imitation as a strategy to enhance their speaking skills through repeated exposure to video content. However, some neutral responses suggest that not all students fully utilize TikTok as a learning tool, as it is often used for entertainment purposes. In conclusion, TikTok has strong potential as an alternative and engaging learning medium for improving English speaking skills. Therefore, educators are encouraged to integrate TikTok into language learning activities to support more interactive and autonomous learning experiences.
