One of the most challenging skills for non-English major students is writing an essay since they have to pay attention to the language structure and must be able to transfer their thoughts and ideas into the target language. In regard to solving this problem, regular change and development are needed in teaching English writing. One of the methods that increased to be used is collaborative writing using Google Docs. This study aims to investigate the non-English major students’ perspectives and difficulties in collaborative writing through Google Docs. This study examined 22 students from a state polytechnic in Makassar who have involved in collaborative writing activity through Google Docs. A convergent parallel design was applied in this study, where the data collected by using a questionnaire which consists of closed- open-ended questions and interview. The closed-ended questions data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistic with SPSS. Further, the collected data from the open-ended questions and the interview was analyzed qualitatively using a narrative method. The results show that the students have positive perspectives on collaborative writing activity through Google Docs and did not encounter many difficulties when they were involved in this activity.

The aim of this study is to investigate students from non-major English department perspectives toward the use of Video-Based Learning in an online English language process. This study was conducted at Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang using a convergent-parallel design, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Eighty students of the first semester from the accounting department who were involved in a video-based learning process became the participants of this study. The data was gathered through the use of a questionnaire that included closed-ended and open-ended questions. The data from the closed-ended questions were quantitatively analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS. Additionally, a narrative method was used to analyze the open-ended questions. The results of this study indicate that the non-English major students have a positive perspective toward video-based learning utilization because it increases their motivation to learn and makes it easier for them to comprehend the material.

This study investigates the common errors made by students when using the simple present tense in writing descriptive texts. The aim of the study is to identify the specific types of errors that occur and to explore the factors contributing to these mistakes. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative method to gather data, employing a written test as the data collection tool. To categorize the errors, a surface strategy taxonomy is utilized, which includes four categories: omission, addition, misformation, and misorder. By analyzing the collected data, a total of 214 errors were identified, with 95 instances of omission errors, 22 addition errors, 75 formation errors, and 22 ordering errors. The findings highlight that the most prevalent type of error made by students is omission, while misformation, misorder, and addition errors are relatively less frequent. In addition to error analysis, the study explores the reasons underlying these errors, particularly focusing on interlingual and intralingual transfer. Interlingual transfer refers to the influence of a student's first language on their second language usage, while intralingual transfer refers to the influence of existing knowledge and patterns within the second language itself. These factors contribute to the occurrence of errors in the simple present tense usage within descriptive texts.

This study investigates students’ perceptions of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in learning English at Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang. The rapid integration of AI-based tools—such as grammar checkers, translation engines, and conversational chatbots—has transformed language learning practices, yet students’ attitudes and levels of acceptance toward these technologies remain varied. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving diploma-level students from several study programs. The findings indicate that most participants perceive AI as a supportive learning aid that enhances vocabulary acquisition, improves writing accuracy, and increases learning motivation through instant feedback and flexible access to language resources. However, concerns were also identified, including overdependence on automated suggestions, reduced critical thinking in writing tasks, and uncertainty regarding the accuracy and authenticity of AI-generated content. Students emphasized the need for clear guidance from lecturers on ethical and pedagogical use of AI in academic contexts. Overall, the study concludes that AI has significant potential to complement English learning when positioned as an assistive tool rather than a substitute for human instruction. The results highlight the importance of digital literacy, critical awareness, and pedagogically guided integration of AI in higher education language learning environments. Recommendations are offered for educators and curriculum designers to develop balanced strategies for technology-supported language instruction.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become increasingly accessible to university students and are changing how English is practiced, revised, and evaluated. This study investigated Civil Engineering students’ perceptions of AI tools for developing English communication skills at Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang, Indonesia. A descriptive survey design was employed with 50 students who had experience using at least one AI-supported application for English learning. Data were collected through a 24-item five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and three open-ended questions. The questionnaire examined usage patterns, perceived usefulness, communication improvement, engagement, and concerns regarding responsible use. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to interpret the responses. The model findings indicate that students held positive perceptions of AI-assisted English learning, with an overall mean score of 4.12. They considered AI useful for expanding technical vocabulary, correcting grammar, generating ideas, receiving immediate feedback, and preparing presentations or workplace-related communication. Students reported that AI reduced anxiety and increased confidence when composing messages and rehearsing English. Nevertheless, participants expressed concerns about inaccurate information, excessive dependence, academic integrity, privacy, and the limited authenticity of AI-based speaking practice. Students therefore preferred AI to function as a supplementary learning partner rather than a replacement for lecturers, classmates, or real communicative experience. The study concludes that AI tools can support English communication development in vocational higher education when their use is guided by pedagogical objectives, verification practices, ethical rules, and activities requiring meaningful human interaction. These findings offer implications for English instruction in civil engineering and other technical polytechnic programs in Indonesia.
