Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in language learning has created new opportunities to enhance the quality and personalization of educational experiences. This study aims to explore the impact of using AI-based language learning platforms on the English-speaking skills of college students. The research employs a quasi-experimental design with two groups: a control class using conventional learning methods and an experimental class using AI-based learning platforms. The research population consists of students from University X, with a sample of 32 students in the experimental class and 34 students in the control class. Data were collected through pre-tests, treatment, and post-tests. The results indicate a significant improvement in English speaking skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. Data analysis shows that AI-based learning platforms are effective in enhancing speaking skills, particularly due to the interactive features and adaptive feedback provided by the platforms. These findings suggest that the use of AI technology in language learning can yield better results compared to traditional methods, supporting further integration of this technology in language education.

Abstract

The change of the status of the National Exam (NE) from high-stakes testing to low-stakes testing inspired the researchers to explore its effects on the teaching and learning of English. This qualitative exploratory study tried to investigate how English teachers taught their students to prepare NE at senior high schools in two different functions by involving six English teachers from three schools varying in the quality in terms of the schools' demography, academic achievement, and facilities. The study was also strengthened by a set of secondary data from the results of the NE in 2015. The result of study involving the six teachers shows that the higher the quality of the schools the less they are affected by the change of the functions of the NE. The result of the analysis involving the secondary data shows that in spite of the change of its function, the NE tends to remain a high-stakes testing.Keywords: High-Stake Testing, Low-Stake Testing, National Exam, English UJIAN NASIONAL DI INDONESIA DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRISAbstrakPerubahan fungsi Ujian Nasional (UN) dari "high-stakes testing" menjadi "low-stakes testing" mendorong penulis untuk melakukan penelitian eksploratif terhadap persamaan dan perbedaan UN dalam fungsinya yang berbeda dengan mengkaji dampaknya pada proses belajar-mengajar mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Penulis mengkaji bagaimana para guru mengajar Bahasa Inggris dalam mempersiapkan para siswa menghadapi UN sebelum dan setelah ada perubahan kebijakan. Penelitian eksploratif ini dilaksanakan dengan mewawancarai enam guru bahasa Inggris dari tiga sekolah yang mutunya berbeda-beda. Wawancara terhadap para guru dilakukan menjelang pelaksanaan UN 2015. Penelitian ini dilengkapi dengan data sekunder berupa hasil UN 2015 yang memperkuat temuan penelitian. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sekolah yang mutunya lebih rendah cenderung lebih banyak terpengaruh oleh perubahan status UN  daripada sekolah yang mutunya lebih tinggi dalam hal mempersiapkan para siswanya menghadapi UN. Hasil analisis data sekunder, rendahnya aspek kejujuran dalam UN, menunjukkan UN masih dianggap sebagai "high-stakes testing".Kata kunci: tes beresiko tinggi, tes beresiko rendah, ujian nasional, bahasa inggris

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Ummi method in learning Al-Qur’an at Al-Ihsan Mosque, Malang, and its role in community empowerment. The Ummi method, known for its structured and systematic approach, enhances reading accuracy and comprehension of Tajwid among the congregation. The findings reveal that the application of this method has significantly improved participants' Quranic reading skills through direct instruction, repetition, and affectionate teaching. Furthermore, Al-Ihsan Mosque has played a vital role in empowering the underprivileged through the effective management of infaq funds, scholarship programs, and basic needs assistance. However, challenges such as limited teaching space and the need for professional human resource management hinder the effectiveness of these initiatives. To optimize the impact, it is recommended to increase learning facilities, strengthen community collaborations, and establish objective assessment tools for aid distribution. Strengthening youth involvement and professional fund management will further enhance the sustainability of these programs, ensuring that community empowerment efforts are both impactful and equitable.

Abstract

The present research emerges as an answer to the gap in the previous studies above that do not specify preachers who are famous and have many fans not only domestically but also abroad. The preacher perspective provides an explanation of the ideal preacher. This gives the 4.0 generation an understanding of what is worthy of emulation as an endeavour even though the results may differ. The present research was conducted to explore how the reception and rhetoric of Gus Iqdam's preaching and whether the form of mass approach in his preaching in an effort to increase the religiosity of his congregation. The method used in this research is ethnography, which focuses on understanding the culture and social context of a group of people. This process involves direct observation of behaviour and social interactions in natural settings (e.g. in the community, school or workplace). Based on the limited scope of current research, and could be a research gap for future research should examine further in terms of science, socio-cultural context, and its impact on society.

Abstract

This qualitative case study aimed to explore fillers usage to address speaking challenges related to the improvement of self-confidence and motivation in speaking practices done by two English foreign language (EFL) learners of the English department of one of the Islamic Universities in Malang, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews to two students employing filler strategies to address speaking challenges related to the improvement of self-confidence and motivation during their speaking exercises. The research revealed that both learners used fillers to address speaking challenges during the conversation due to their linguistic components’ shortage such as a limited mastery of vocabularies and having a little understanding on grammar. Fillers might bring them to have more self-confidence in speaking practices shown by not being afraid of making mistakes when they practice speaking with their speaking partners. Fillers might bring them to have more motivation in speaking shown by their enthusiasm to get involved in the discussion whether in group or class discussions. Thus, fillers usage is prominent due to its potential to address speaking challenges, enhance self-confidence and motivation, eventually contributing to an overall improvement in language proficiency particularly in speaking skill.
