Abstract

A huge number of studies on reading strategies have been carried out in relation to reading proficiency levels. The conflicting findings and rarity of studies concerning the use of reading comprehension strategies in English testing become the impetus to conduct a further study on reading comprehension strategies issues. The recent research aims to delve into Indonesian pre-service English teachers' reading strategies and how these reading strategies enhance their reading comprehension on IELTS. This study employs a narrative study and uses in-depth semi-structured interviews to collect the data. There are six Indonesian pre-service English teachers involved as research participants, and they were periodically interviewed for adequate data regarding their reading comprehension strategies. The follow-up interview was performed throughout data collection until data saturation was achieved, and the data were then analyzed qualitatively by transcribing, coding, categorizing, and thematizing to find out the emerging themes concerning reading comprehension strategy. The results reveal that there are four themes, namely vocabulary mastery, activating background knowledge, test-taking strategies, and appropriate institutional policies. The results of this study can be used as a reference to foster reading comprehension on IELTS. Suggestion for further research is discussed at the end of this research.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on English language instruction in higher education, exploring both its potential benefits and challenges. A mixed-method approach was utilized, integrating survey data with in-depth interviews. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms through WhatsApp groups and personal networks to English lecturers. The study involved 16 English lecturers from both public and private universities in East Java. Analyzing the survey responses and interview transcripts revealed that AI technology presents both opportunities and obstacles in English language education. AI has brought significant changes to English instruction at the university level, with lecturers employing various AI tools for tasks such as generating and responding to questions, assessing grammatical accuracy, detecting plagiarism, paraphrasing, and conducting literature reviews. This research also underscores AI’s benefits in language education, particularly in grammar correction and plagiarism detection. However, alongside its advantages, AI also introduces new challenges for the future of English teaching. The effective integration of AI necessitates strong digital literacy skills. As AI technology continues to develop, there is a possibility that certain aspects of English teaching may become automated. Consequently, English lecturers need to continuously refine their digital skills to maintain their relevance in the evolving educational landscape.

Abstract

This study explores the use of speech-recognition technology to improve English pronunciation among eleventh-grade students at Miftahul Ulum Islamic Senior High School. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed five key findings: (1) improved segmental pronunciation accuracy, (2) increased student motivation and engagement, (3) challenges with accent recognition, (4) limited support for fluency and natural speech, and (5) a need for more personalized feedback. While the technology effectively corrected individual pronunciation errors and boosted learners’ confidence, its limitations in recognizing regional accents and supporting sentence-level fluency suggest the need for a more integrated instructional approach. The study recommends using speech-recognition tools as supplementary aids, combined with communicative activities such as group discussions or role-play. These findings offer important insights into technology-enhanced language learning in the Indonesian EFL context and highlight the need for more adaptive, linguistically inclusive speech-recognition systems.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of using ChatGPT on the productivity and quality of students' writing. This study used a mixed-methods qualitative and quantitative method involving 10 English study program students from three universities. Data were collected through writing assignments and questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, paired sample T-tests, and Pearson Correlation. The results showed a significant increase in the number of words written and the efficiency of time spent on assignments after using ChatGPT. In addition, the use of ChatGPT was also associated with an increase in the quality of writing, especially in grammar and fluency. This study concluded that ChatGPT was effective in increasing the productivity, efficiency, and quality of students' writing, although it is necessary to be aware of the potential for dependency that can reduce the development of students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

In the current research, complex relationship between meaning, language, and pedagogy was seen by examining derivational bound morphemes and compound words used in the poems of Khalil Gibran. Khalil Gibran's poetry uses linguistic frameworks with profound meaning and makes use of spirituality, love and values-oriented themes. The research will establish how the derivational bound morphemes and the compound words selected by Khalil Gibran can enhance the depth meanings of his poems and enhance his expression. Structural descriptive linguistics is the research approach employed in this work since it analyzes specific poems by Gibran, particularly the morphological processes of his poetical language. With the use of literary analysis and linguistic structure in data analysis, this research indicated that usage of compound words and derivational bound morphemes contributes to aesthetic effect and serves as a pedagogical tool for grasping intricate emotional and philosophical concepts. Morphological analysis may uncover additional inside meaning and assist in preserving more appreciation of Gibran's work as an artist. This research adds to advance knowledge of the connection between literature and language, for example, morphology constructs meaning in poetry. This research supports interdisciplinary practice that provides scope for linguistic analysis as augmented by literary interpretation thus enhancing the learning of poetry and language arts
