Abstract

This mixed-methods study investigates the strategies employed by EFL teachers in integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into their teaching practices within a regional public high school in Indonesia. By employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, the study draws upon a sample of teachers' perspectives via structured interviews and questionnaire responses. The English teachers of SMA Negeri 1 Maros were involved as the subject of the Research. The findings reveal that teachers utilize a range of ICT tools, such as LCD/LED projectors, PowerPoint presentations, audio-visual technologies, and radio broadcasts, with the primary aim of enhancing teaching efficacy and student engagement. The data suggests that the use of ICT significantly influences student comprehension and learning outcomes, with pupils demonstrating an accelerated understanding of material when taught via ICT-based methodologies. Therefore, the study provides valuable insights into the role of ICT in English language teaching in Indonesia, particularly shedding light on teachers' ICT utilization strategies and the impacts on student learning outcomes. These findings may inform future policy and practice in education, potentially guiding initiatives for ICT integration in the wider context of language education.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the translation profession through a competency-based lens. It investigates how AI has changed the work pattern of translators and identifies both technical and non-technical competencies essential for translators to remain relevant in the AI era. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with professional translators who are members of the Indonesian Translators Association (HPI) in South Sulawesi. The findings indicate that while AI improves time efficiency and offers translation assistance, it still cannot replace human involvement in cultural and contextual translation aspects. The study highlights key skills required by translators such as CAT tool proficiency, post-editing capabilities, cultural awareness, critical and analytical thinking, decision-making, and endurance. These results provide practical implications for translator education and professional development in the age of automation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain data regarding students' perceptions of the intensity of corrective feedback (CF) provided by lecturers and its influence on their self-confidence and self-expression abilities. To achieve the above objectives, a qualitative approach was used thru in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with students from the English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Languages and Literature, Makassar State University, who were taking English courses thru synchronous and asynchronous media. To analyze the data obtained, this study uses thematic analysis, which includes the stages of transcription, data reduction, coding, categorization, and the extraction of thematic meaning. The results of the research data analysis show that (1) students positively perceive the intensity of corrective feedback, which includes attention, duration, and frequency, differing between one lecturer and another because synchronous CF provides space for direct interaction and quick clarification, while asynchronous CF gives students the opportunity to reflect and correct errors independently; and (2) the intensity of CF has a positive impact on increasing students' self-confidence and self-expression in English, both orally and in writing, although feedback that is too frequent and delivered inappropriately can reduce motivation and cause anxiety. The results of this study conclude that a balance of intensity and approach in providing corrective feedback has a positive impact on the optimal linguistic and psychological development of students.
