Abstract

Digital portfolios have become increasingly relevant in language education as tools for documenting learning processes, enabling multimodal task performance, and supporting formative assessment. However, limited research has examined how they are embedded in instructional planning or how teachers perceive their assessment role, especially in vocational English classrooms. This qualitative case study investigates (1) how digital portfolios are integrated into a speaking lesson plan, and (2) how a vocational English teacher perceives their use as an assessment tool. Data were collected through document analysis and an open-ended teacher questionnaire completed by an English teacher in an Indonesian vocational high school. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that digital portfolios were positioned as central to the design of speaking tasks, functioning as a structured mechanism for organizing workflow, documenting progress, and compiling multimodal evidence of learning. The teacher perceived the portfolio as a valuable tool for monitoring engagement, identifying learners who need support, and enhancing transparency in the learning process. However, constraints related to the absence of explicit assessment rubrics, increased workload, and varying student digital literacy limited the portfolio’s potential for systematic assessment of speaking skills. The study concludes that digital portfolios have strong potential as process-based assessment tools in vocational English instruction; however, their effectiveness depends on the availability of clear assessment criteria, technological readiness, and sustained institutional support.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT are increasingly integrated into EFL academic writing; however, empirical evidence regarding students’ perceptions, challenges, and ethical considerations remains limited. This study examines EFL university students’ perceptions of using ChatGPT in academic writing, focusing on perceived usefulness, challenges, and ethical awareness. Employing a case study design, data were collected through close-ended and open-ended questionnaires administered to EFL students. The findings indicate that students perceive ChatGPT as supportive for idea generation, grammatical accuracy, text organization, and time efficiency. Nevertheless, challenges related to the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated information were identified, highlighting the need for critical evaluation. In addition, students reported agreement with ethical considerations, particularly regarding plagiarism awareness and the view that ChatGPT should function as a supplementary tool rather than a primary source. Overall, the findings suggest that ChatGPT can support EFL academic writing when used critically and ethically.
