Abstract

The focus of this qualitative study is to discover the factors that discouraged the students of Mahakarya Asia University from not asking questions to the lecturer in their English class despite their incomplete mastery of the lessons. Employing questionnaires and interview as the main instruments, the study found the triggering factors, with the first three being the fear of making a wrongly structured question, appearing unlettered after asking, and talking in front of other people. In addition, students’ inflexible adaptation to asking orally, which is different from asking in writing they adopted during COVID-19 remote learning, discourages them as well. Confusion on how and what to ask also stopped students from asking a question. To compensate for their deliberate abandonment of opportunities to ask a question, students carried out a variety of learning strategies. The most widely employed strategy to obtain the missing knowledge is to search for answers on internet due to its advantages: quick response, accurate answer, minimal effort, and available anywhere and anytime. Another learning strategy is discussion with other people. Discussion is opted because it is enjoyable, lively, and people can guess well what the students problems are from indirect clues. The last adopted strategy is to consult textbooks, notes, or other related materials as they contain the very topics of the lessons the students fail to understand. Keywords: discouraging factors to asking questions, substitute learning strategies, searching internet, discussion, reading modules

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has created new opportunities for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning; however, research on the effectiveness of AI-based chatbots in improving students’ language skills and learning motivation remains limited, particularly in EFL contexts. This study investigates the impact of AI-based chatbots on students’ speaking and writing skills, as well as their motivation toward learning English. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two groups of students: an experimental group using AI-based chatbots and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, questionnaires, and interviews to evaluate students’ achievement and perceptions. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed significantly greater improvement than the control group, with average post-test scores increasing by approximately 18% in speaking and 15% in writing. In addition, students reported higher levels of motivation, confidence, and classroom engagement due to the interactive and immediate feedback provided by the chatbots. These findings suggest that AI-based chatbots can effectively support EFL learning and complement conventional teaching methods by creating more interactive and student-centered learning environments. Future research is recommended to examine the long-term effects of chatbot-assisted learning and explore the integration of more advanced AI features in language education.
