Abstract

The rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) has influenced how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners and educators engage in academic writing. This study aims to explore how lecturers and students in Indonesian higher education integrate AI tools into their academic writing practices, perceive benefits and challenges of using AI, and concern with ethical considerations. Using a qualitative approach combining interviews and photovoice, the study involved thirteen participants from western, central, and eastern Indonesia. The findings show that AI tools are used not only for linguistic assistance but also for idea generation, prompt refinement, and collaborative meaning-making, reflecting an interactive relationship between users and technology. Participants reported that AI improves efficiency, creativity, and clarity in writing, while concerns were raised regarding hallucinated references, inconsistency, and overreliance that may reduce critical thinking and authenticity. The study also finds that AI should be used ethically as a complementary partner that supports, rather than replaces, human intellect in academic writing. The main ethical considerations include maintaining authorship, content verification, and proper referencing. The findings imply the need for pedagogical frameworks and institutional policies that promote ethical, reflective, and responsible AI use in higher education.

Abstract

Critical reading remains a persistent challenge in English language learning, particularly in vocational school contexts where instruction often prioritizes functional language use over higher-order thinking. Although Digital Storytelling (DST) has gained attention as an innovative pedagogical approach, limited empirical evidence exists regarding its effectiveness in promoting students’ critical reading abilities. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, this study examines the effect of DST on critical reading skills of vocational school students. Cluster random sampling was used to select two classes, an experimental class tutored using DST-based instruction and a control class taught using conventional method. The statistical outcomes indicated that the difference between the groups was significant. The DST group outperformed the control group (M = 91.00 vs. 80.90; t (70.652) = 15.838, p < .001). Thus, the DST group proved effective in improving interpretive and evaluative reading. In addition, qualitative results show that DST promoted student engagement, deeper meaning-making and critical reflection.  In student reports, multimodal elements helped with a greater understanding of the text and helped to connect real life. According to the results of this research, DST is an instructional tool that does not only captivate attention, but it is also a pedagogically meaningful way to teach reading critically especially in a vocational education context.
