Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving English language learning among high school students in a bilingual school in Surakarta, Indonesia. Although AI is increasingly being integrated into the curriculum, more is needed to know about students’ experiences using AI for language learning, especially regarding technical challenges and their limited understanding of this technology. Methodology: This qualitative study used document analysis, observation, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers based on Creswell’s (2014) qualitative approach. Participants were selected by purposive sampling, consisting of students in grades X, XI, and XII who use AI tools such as Duolingo and Google Translate. Results: Findings showed that although students found personalized feedback from AI tools helpful, challenges such as internet connectivity issues and limited linguistic feedback reduced their effectiveness. Some proposed solutions include developing more adaptive AI tools, improving technological infrastructure, and providing AI literacy training to enable students to utilize these technologies more optimally. Applications/Originality/Value: In addition, integrating AI with more diverse traditional teaching approaches can increase student motivation and reduce over-reliance on technology. This research provides new insights into AI’s challenges and potential uses in language education, emphasizing the need to balance technology and conventional learning methods. The development of more interactive and inclusive AI tools and AI literacy education can support the maximum utilization of this technology in bilingual education environments.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates teachers' perceptions and challenges regarding the use of animated videos in learning vocabulary in English for students with disabilities. This research aims to find out the teachers' perceptions towards the use of animated videos in learning vocabulary in English and the challenges faced by teachers when using animated video media as a means of learning vocabulary in children with disabilities. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative methodology, triangulating data through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. We conducted data analysis using Craswell's framework and Miles and Huberman's interactive model, which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion formulation. We purposefully selected three English teachers and corroborated the data with information from other sources to ensure its accuracy. The observation evaluated the application of video animation, the interview delved into teachers' perceptions of its use, and the document analysis scrutinized the involvement of students with disabilities in learning through video animation. Results: These findings show that according to teachers' perceptions, the use of animated videos in vocabulary learning is effective but depends on the condition and level of disability in students. Teachers also encounter challenges and difficulties when teaching vocabulary to students with disabilities using animated videos. Applications/Originality/Value: This study highlights teachers' views and obstacles in using video animation to teach disabled students vocabulary. It emphasizes the necessity for customized resources, teacher training, and flexible animation techniques to assist special needs student learning.

Abstract

Drama, English Camp, and Tourism are considered effective strategies for improving students' conversational skills in secondary schools. However, studies exploring the integration of these three approaches are still limited. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to explore students’ experiences in an innovative English learning program, specifically through Drama (English Performance), English Camp, and Edutrip (Tourism), and to identify the benefits and challenges encountered in improving their speaking skills. The study is driven by students’ low interest and lack of self-confidence in speaking English in conventional classroom settings, highlighting the need for innovative and engaging learning environments. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and documentation involving six students from a global class at one Muhammadiyah junior high school in Surakarta who participated in the English Conversation Program. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the English Conversation Program offered enjoyable and contextual learning experiences, improving students’ confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and spontaneous speaking ability. The main challenges faced included pronunciation difficulties, anxiety, and limited vocabulary, which were addressed through self-practice, peer collaboration, and vocabulary preparation. This study highlights the importance of experiential learning in enhancing students’ English speaking skills.
