Technology integration in foreign language learning is a must today. One of the issues is the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot in English language teaching. Some studies have mentioned the benefits and advantages of using AI Chatbot. Nonetheless, none of the studies examines deeply on hoe ESP vocabulary. To fill the gaps, this study examines the effect of AI Chatbot especially Dialogflow enhanced the ESP vocabulary acquisition. The experimental comparison of two groups—an experience group and a control group—is the backbone of this study in order to accomplish that purpose. Both groups underwent pre-tests and post-tests to assess the effectiveness of utilizing AI chatbot in learning ESP vocabulary. The chatbot content was meticulously constructed to incorporate vocabulary features such as synonyms and concise explanations of word meanings. The study's findings revealed that utilizing chatbots significantly improves the acquisition of ESP vocabulary. It was found that students in the experimental group that used Dialogflow, a chatbot, performed better than students in the control group. To add, the study suggests that chatbots could be utilized in many situations to enhance language learning in general or in specific ESP courses. A chatbot provides a stimulating setting to facilitate positive interactions where the negotiation of meaning occurs explicitly, which appears to greatly benefit learners in advancing their second language lexical development.

This research carried out quantitative method and quasi experimental design, conducted by using pre-test, treatment, and post- test. The researchers also gave the closed questionnaire to the class who were taught by using PCST. The population was the 8th students of SMP N 6 Semarang in the academic year 2024/2025. The samples were 8F as a control group and 8H as an experimental group. The control group was taught without using PCST; however, the experimental group was taught by using PCST.

This study aimed to find out the word-formations in English slang utilized on Instagram captions posted by Justin Bieber. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method to capture the process of word-formation in Justin Bieber’s English slang. In this study, the writers used the theory of Yule about the word-formation process for analyzing the data of English slang. The writers obtained the data through reading, capturing, and understanding the captions posted during a year (June 2020 ”“ June 2021). Based on the data analysis, seven out of ten types of word-formation processes in English slang were used by Justin Bieber in his Instagram caption. They are (1) Clipping, (2) Blending, (3) Acronym, (4) Borrowing, (5) Derivation, (6) Coinage, and (7) Multi Processes. The most frequent type of word formation process used by Justin Bieber on Instagram is clipping with the 47 data’s frequency (54%). This study implies that Justin Bieber frequently used clipping to make short the words on every posted video or photo so his followers can easily understand his feeling.

Dyslexia affects approximately 10–20% of the global population, yet it remains widely misunderstood and frequently misidentified by educators. Characterized by difficulties in phonological processing, dyslexia poses significant challenges within traditional, text-heavy English instruction. However, many dyslexic learners exhibit strengths in visual, spatial, and creative domains. This single-case qualitative study investigates how a third-grade student with dyslexia constructed meaning through Digital Storytelling (DST) in the context of English learning. Through two personal and autobiographical digital narratives, the participant employed multimodal tools; including images, narration, and visual sequencing, to convey meaning rooted in lived experience. The findings reveal that DST functioned as a cognitive scaffold, reducing extraneous cognitive load and facilitating expressive, schema-based communication. Her strong preference for realism and visual representation over fictional or abstract content illustrates the principles of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), Dual Coding Theory, and Multimodal Discourse. This study underscores the pedagogical value of DST as a learner-centered, inclusive approach that leverages dyslexic students’ cognitive strengths to support comprehension, retention, and language development in early English education.

Indonesia tengah menghadapi tantangan pendidikan yang kompleks, ditandai dengan rendahnya capaian literasi dan numerasi siswa, sebagaimana tercermin dari hasil PISA 2023 yang menempatkan Indonesia pada peringkat rendah di antara 81 negara. Salah satu upaya strategis pemerintah untuk menjawab tantangan tersebut adalah penerapan deep learning dalam Kurikulum Merdeka, yang menekankan pembelajaran mindful, meaningful, dan joyful. Namun, implementasi di lapangan masih menghadapi hambatan, terutama keterbatasan pemahaman guru dalam merancang perangkat pembelajaran berbasis deep learning. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru SMP Negeri 14 Semarang dalam merancang, mengimplementasikan, dan mengevaluasi pembelajaran berbasis deep learning yang terintegrasi dengan literasi dan numerasi. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi sosialisasi, pelatihan, workshop, bimbingan teknis, simulasi pembelajaran, serta pendampingan berkelanjutan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara kolaboratif melalui seminar interaktif, praktik penyusunan modul ajar, dan evaluasi berbasis kuesioner skala Likert. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman guru terhadap konsep deep learning, kemampuan menyusun perangkat pembelajaran inovatif, serta keterampilan mengintegrasikan literasi dan numerasi ke dalam praktik kelas. Seluruh aspek pelaksanaan, mulai dari materi, fasilitator, hingga dampak pelatihan, memperoleh kategori “sangat baik”, menandakan efektivitas program dalam memperkuat kapasitas guru.

Data diperoleh melalui pre-test dan post-test, observasi kelas, analisis instrumen, dan survei kepuasan peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan literasi asesmen guru, khususnya dalam memahami prinsip penilaian otentik, merancang tugas berbasis kinerja, dan menyusun rubrik analitik maupun holistik. Guru mampu mengembangkan tugas autentik seperti proyek, penilaian performa berbicara, dan portofolio reflektif yang selaras dengan tujuan pembelajaran. Implementasi di kelas memperlihatkan keselarasan yang lebih kuat antara tujuan, aktivitas pembelajaran, dan strategi penilaian. Integrasi teknologi digital turut memperkuat dokumentasi dan pemberian umpan balik. Pembentukan komunitas praktik mendukung keberlanjutan transformasi asesmen dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris berbasis deep learning.
