Abstract

Indonesian postgraduate students encounter significant challenges in academic writing, particularly in areas such as clarity, coherence, organization, grammar, and plagiarism prevention. This study investigates these challenges and explores the potential of AI-driven strategies to enhance writing skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys of 50 participants and qualitative interviews with six postgraduates, the research identified key obstacles such as difficulty in formulating clear research questions, using precise academic vocabulary, maintaining logical flow, and mastering citation practices. To address the issues, they employed several effective strategies employed      including seeking feedback, attending workshops, outlining, varying sentence structures, and thorough proofreading. AI tools like Grammarly, QuillBot, ChatGPT, and Mendeley are widely used for grammar checks, paraphrasing, citation management, and enhancing coherence, demonstrating their value in supporting academic writing. However, the study underscores the importance of human oversight to ensure originality and foster critical thinking. These findings have implications for both theoretical advancement and educational practice, particularly in the integration of AI tools in higher education. The findings hold significant implications for educational practice, suggesting that AI integration in higher education can serve as an effective support tool, provided it is accompanied by guidance on responsible usage.

Abstract

The proliferation of mobile learning has introduced a wide range of educational apps and flexible learning supports, extending education beyond traditional constraints of time and location. While mobile learning has proven effective for language acquisition, its potential extends into areas of digital engagement critical to modern education. Differentiated instruction, essential for personalized learning, can particularly benefit from mobile learning platforms, as demonstrated in this study’s focus on viewing skills, a component highlighted in Indonesia’s Independent Curriculum but less explored in research. This qualitative study reflects on English teachers' experiences using mobile learning to teach viewing skills to secondary students across Indonesia, utilizing interviews, focus groups, and digital artefacts to gather insights. Findings reveal that mobile learning facilitates differentiated instruction in viewing skills, fosters student motivation and critical thinking, enhances digital literacy, and requires teacher strategies to mitigate distractions. These results suggest that structured mobile learning integration can effectively promote differentiated learning across diverse skills, offering educators a flexible tool for skill-specific instruction.
