Abstract

This article investigated attitude, one of subsystem appraisal, in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) university students’ narrative writings. Five narrative writing was selected purposefully from undergraduate students of the English Department at a local private university in Central Java. The findings demonstrate that the affect is the most dominant subsystem of attitude used in the students’ narrative writing to convey feelings and emotion of characters and events in the stories in order to make the readers involved in the stories. The prominent finding of this research implies that most students used expressions of attitudes which belong to basic English words and repetition of same words. This present research suggests English language teachers and lecturers pay more attention to the explicit teaching of attitudinal words usage in writing, especially narrative writing.

Abstract

This study investigates the improvement of Video Assisted Project-Based Learning (VAPBL) in improving learners' speaking skills. While VAPBL, has been employed in many studies, the development of learners' speaking skills in terms of fluency, accuracy, and coherence has received less attention in the literature. Twenty-two learners from the language class of Secondary School, participated in the study. The investigation employed Classroom Action Research design to measure the outcome of VAPBL on learners' speaking proficiency. The two cycles involved selecting appropriate video materials and designing project-based learning activities aligned with curriculum objectives. There are two cycles in this research and each cycle consist of three meetings. During the application phase, learners engaged in VAPBL activities over a specified period, including watching videos, participating in discussions, and completing project-based tasks. The findings revealed a significant advancement in learners' speaking abilities following the application of VAPBL. Moreover, in the questionnaire the learners’ perception have positive outcome of VAPBL in language learning activities. This study underscores the importance of interactive and collaborative learning environments facilitated by VAPBL in enhancing learners' speaking skills.

Abstract

This study examines personal pronoun errors in descriptive texts written by seventh-grade students in Purworejo, Indonesia. A sample of 16 students, comprising 8 males and 8 females, was analyzed to identify common error patterns. Errors were categorized into four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Results showed that omission errors were the most frequent, constituting 43% of the total, followed by misformation errors at 37%, addition errors at 14%, and misordering errors at 7%. The study highlights specific challenges these learners face in using personal pronouns correctly in English. Understanding these error patterns is essential for educators aiming to develop targeted teaching strategies. Findings suggest that focused interventions on personal pronouns can significantly improve students' writing skills. Future research should explore effective teaching methods to address these errors and enhance ESL learners' proficiency in English writing. This study contributes to the limited research on personal pronoun errors among Indonesian ESL students and emphasizes the need for tailored educational approaches.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of combining Automated Writing Corrective Feedback (AWCF) and Teacher Written Corrective Feedback (TWCF) in improving students’ writing skills at SMK Bina Karya 2 Karanganyar. A mixed-methods approach was employed using an explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data from pre- and post-writing tests showed a significant improvement in mechanics, grammar, vocabulary, organization, and content of descriptive texts (t(58) = 8.888, p < .001). Qualitative findings from interviews and questionnaires indicated that students engaged with feedback in behavioral, cognitive, and affective dimensions. Low-proficiency students accepted most automated corrections, while advanced learners selectively applied feedback. AWCF was most effective for surface-level errors, while TWCF provided deeper support in content, coherence, and organization. A structured feedback process, where students revised based on automated corrections before receiving teacher guidance, ensured iterative improvement and minimized cognitive overload. The combination of AWCF and TWCF fostered self-regulated learning, reduced writing anxiety, and enhanced overall proficiency. Student perceptions varied; 78% found AWCF helpful for grammar, but only 42% believed it improved overall writing. Teachers noted that TWCF provided clearer explanations, reinforcing deeper learning. The integration of AWCF and TWCF enabled students to develop both linguistic accuracy and higher-order writing skills. These findings underscore the importance of a hybrid feedback model balancing efficiency, personalization, and engagement, ultimately enhancing students' writing proficiency in a structured and effective manner.

Abstract

The integration of ChatGPT in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction remains a relatively under-researched area, particularly in the Indonesian higher education context. This study explores the dual nature of ChatGPT—as both a pedagogical aid and a potential challenge—for undergraduate English education students at a university in Central Java. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from thirty-two participants through a close-response questionnaire to gain insights into their perceptions and experiences. The findings indicate that the use of ChatGPT enhanced students’ writing confidence, time efficiency, and overall quality of written output. Students reported that ChatGPT facilitated idea generation, improved sentence coherence, and served as a valuable tool for self-editing. However, the study also identified several drawbacks, including overreliance on the tool, diminished critical and creative thinking, and concerns about the authenticity and accuracy of AI-generated content. To mitigate these issues, students engaged in peer review, expert consultation, and cross-referencing with credible sources to validate the generated material. The study emphasizes the importance of guiding students toward responsible and reflective use of artificial intelligence in academic writing. Pedagogical implications highlight the need for integrating ethical AI literacy, promoting critical engagement with AI-generated content, and fostering awareness of academic integrity. Ultimately, while ChatGPT presents significant opportunities for enhancing EFL writing pedagogy, its implementation must be thoughtfully managed to ensure it supports, rather than replaces, human cognitive and linguistic development.
