Abstract

The development of English-speaking skills among Thai EFL students remains challenging due to linguistic differences, rote-learning methods, and limited real-world practice. While technology-assisted learning is gaining attention, research rarely explores the integration of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) with AI tools. This study examines the effectiveness of combining SRL with ELSA Speak AI to improve  speaking proficiency. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR), 30 sixth-grade students at Darul Muhmin Elementary School underwent a two-cycle intervention, with data collected through pre-tests, post-tests, interviews, and observations. Results show significant improvements in pronunciation, fluency, and confidence, with all students surpassing the minimum passing criteria. The study concludes that integrating SRL with AI fosters learner autonomy, engagement, and performance, demonstrating AI’s potential in EFL education.

Abstract

In the quickly changing context of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution, it is essential to comprehend how Generation Z (Gen Z) modifies their language usage. As digital natives who have grown up with technology, Gen Z is at the forefront of shaping and transforming language in the digital age. This study investigates the notable changes in Gen Z's language use in digital discourse, emphasizing Instagram. The goal is to recognize how the linguistic shifts of Gen Z are changing how people communicate in digital environments. This study used a qualitative content analysis method to analyze the data from Instagram comments and posts, highlighting essential features such mixing language, new slang and expression, use of non-standard spelling, emoji language and use of symbols, and contextualization in pop culture and social media trends. The results show that Gen Z used the linguistic shift in their communication in digital discourse such as communication in Instragram. These linguistic patterns show how Gen Z navigates and shapes their digital identities through language and how engaged they are with pop culture and social media trends. This study adds to our understanding of how digital platforms shape language use and social interaction in the modern period. It emphasizes the necessity of more investigation into how these changes may affect sociolinguistic theory, pedagogy, and communication techniques.

Abstract

Within this particular study, the designations of "Tourist" and "Explorer" are employed to denote students who approach their classroom learning experiences with either a desire for leisurely exploration (akin to that of a tourist) or a desire to delve deeper into the subject matter (more akin to that of an explorer). The semantics course delves deeply into the theory of meaning, fields of meaning, and sense, and specific topics within the course material may cause some anxiety for students. The objective of this research is to explore how anxiety affects the acquisition of knowledge in semantics courses, given that anxiety can have an adverse impact on mental well-being. This research uses a survey design, adopting Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) as the instrument. Forty-six individuals voluntarily completed a questionnaire regarding their learning experience. The respondents aged between 20 and 24 years old. There were 15 male individuals in the group, representing 32% of the total, while 31 female individuals comprised 67% of the group. In order to enhance the overall effectiveness of educational achievements, forthcoming studies will be taking into account supplementary factors. Through the lens of "Tourist or Explorer? Delving Students' Predilection and Anxiety in Semantics Course," this study advances our comprehension of the multifaceted nature of semantics education, inviting a more empathetic and comprehensive approach to pedagogy.

Abstract

This research attempted to explore the types of taboo expressions in the MLBB game chat and ascertain the reaction to the taboo words adopted in the MLBB game chat. The Qualitative Content Analysis Method was applied in this study. The researcher interviewed three MLBB game players and took screenshots of their in-game chat comments in order to gather the data. The results demonstrate that while not all MLBB players adopt the types of taboo language, there was one player who exclusively utilized it. The category with the greatest data is vulgar terms, with 32 words or 40% of the total; the second category is epithets and obscenity, with 22 words or 27.5% of the total; and the third category is profanity, with just 4 words or 5% of the total. Factors that contribute to players employing taboo words in MLBB games include their desire to draw attention, insult teammates or enemies, and provoke opponents to make the game exciting. Upon insulting and provoking their opponents, players feel relieved and pleased because their emotions were let out in the game. Subsequently, the findings have significant ramifications for enhancing learners' awareness of taboo language and contributing to the advancement of linguistic disciplines.

Abstract

Limited digital literacy and English language skills among elementary school teachers present a significant challenge in developing innovative and contextual teaching media, especially in schools with restricted access to educational technology. The community service partner in this program was SD Negeri 17 Tanjung Selamat, which demonstrated an urgent need for practical and sustainable educational technology training. This service activity aimed to enhance teachers' capacity to design interactive teaching media using Canva and Powtoon, integrating simple English elements appropriate for elementary-level students. The implementation method consisted of three main stages: needs assessment through questionnaires and interviews, a two-day intensive offline training focused on exploring application features, and a two-week online and offline mentoring phase to support the application of training outcomes. The results showed that 91% of participating teachers successfully created digital teaching media through interactive presentations or animated learning videos. Participants' average knowledge scores significantly improved from the pre-test (45.6) to the post-test (82.1), and most reported increased confidence in using digital tools for teaching. Challenges such as limited internet access, time constraints, and technical difficulties were noted as important feedback for future program improvements. This success was further reinforced by forming an online teacher-learning community, a key component of program sustainability. The program proved to be effective and has the potential to be replicated in other elementary school contexts facing similar challenges in digital learning transformation.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed communication patterns among young people, particularly through social media. However, the use of the Indonesian language by junior high school students in digital spaces often neglects linguistic norms and lacks politeness. This community service project aimed to educate students of SMPIT Al-Hijrah 2 Deli Serdang on how to use Indonesian properly, accurately, and politely in digital communication. The method involved initial observation, development of a contextual learning module based on social media content, implementation of interactive training, and follow-up evaluation and mentoring. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ understanding of language norms and online communication ethics. Students became more aware in choosing appropriate diction, composing grammatically correct sentences, and maintaining polite interactions in social media posts and comments. Post-training mentoring also showed consistency in the students’ application of polite language in their digital interactions. This program demonstrates that language education integrated with digital literacy and character-building can shape ethical and productive communication behaviors among junior high school students. Such education is recommended to be continuously implemented as part of school literacy programs.
