This qualitative case study investigated learners’ perspectives on using the Forvo website to enhance their English-speaking skills within an online Discord community, "The English Hub." Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and textual analysis of Discord conversations. Inductive thematic analysis revealed that students perceived Forvo as a valuable tool, aligning with Previous Research, Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and TELL principles. Forvo facilitated social interaction, provided access to native speaker pronunciations (MKOs), and served as a cultural tool, promoting pronunciation improvement, confidence building, and vocabulary acquisition. Students reported significant improvements in their speaking skills, particularly in pronunciation, accent reduction, and fluency. Forvo effectively complemented traditional learning methods, offering authentic pronunciation models, a supportive online community, and a user-friendly interface. This study highlights the potential of Forvo to empower learners in their pursuit of English fluency

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of more engaging English language student worksheets. The conventional worksheets, previously characterized by black-and-white printed pages dominated by question sets, were perceived as tedious and uninspiring. To overcome this limitation, a gamification-based worksheet was designed, integrating the interactive quiz platform Kahoot to enhance learner engagement. The study adopted the ADDIE development framework, encompassing the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. A descriptive quantitative method was employed to evaluate the outcomes. The finalized worksheet achieved a validation score of 95.3% from three expert reviewers and a practicality score of 69.4% based on students’ responses. These findings suggest that the gamified worksheet is not only pedagogically valid but also sufficiently practical for use in classroom instruction, particularly for teaching the present continuous tense.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing students’ academic writing skills, with a specific focus on English Education students at Universitas PGRI Palembang. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive design within a phenomenological framework, the research examines the impact of AI tools—such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Quillbot—on the quality of student writing, their knowledge development, and their perceptions of these technologies. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation involving 10 students from the second and fourth semesters. The results indicate that AI tools play a significant role in helping students generate ideas, refine grammar and structure, and increase overall writing efficiency. Nevertheless, the study also uncovers ethical challenges, including dependency on AI and risks of plagiarism. In general, students expressed favorable views of AI, considering it a beneficial aid rather than a substitute for critical thinking. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating AI in a balanced way to preserve originality, foster creativity, and uphold academic integrity.
