Abstract

Learners in today's modern age are highly technologically savvy. It is no surprise that some forms of IT-based instruction are used in language courses to make classes more entertaining and participatory for students. Teachers can involve their students in the learning process by providing a vibrant and engaging classroom environment using technology. This research aims to investigate the level of digital fluency of an Indonesian EFL teacher who uses IT-based language instruction to teach speaking, as well as how the Indonesian EFL teacher integrates digital tools and technology in their language instruction to teach speaking skills. These goals are achieved by observing an EFL teacher and 37 EFL students during three sessions of the teaching and learning process using a qualitative methodology. The results show that IT-based instruction is delivered through a variety of applications and websites, demonstrating the high level of digital literacy of the EFL teacher. It also reveals that the learning process is now inextricably linked to the internet as a learning resource and instrument, and that technological advancements benefit both students and teachers. Therefore, it is challenging to separate the roles of teachers and technology in constructing the current educational paradigm due to their influence on its progress.

Abstract

This study examines how EFL teachers incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into teaching reading comprehension in online environments, with a focus on its role in lesson planning, delivery, and evaluation. The research aims to understand the diverse ways educators adopt AI tools in their practices. Using a qualitative approach, involving interviews and classroom observations, the study captures teachers' experiences with AI integration. Findings reveal that AI enhances the personalization of reading materials, enables real-time feedback during lessons, and streamlines the grading process. However, the study also highlights differing attitudes toward AI, as some teachers prefer traditional methods, citing concerns about losing pedagogical control and the limitations of AI technology. The study concludes that, while AI holds significant potential for improving instructional practices, there is a clear need for professional development programs to help teachers effectively balance AI use with traditional pedagogical methods. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of AI on student learning outcomes, examine AI's influence on teacher-student interactions, and evaluate the role of professional development in supporting AI adoption in education.
