Abstract

- English plays a very crucial role, especially for education aspect. Teachers are further required for having good skills in English communication both in learning with their students and also other people. It is hoped that the ability to communicate in English will open up opportunities for teachers, students and schools to have careers, national landscapes, as well as dig up information both at the global and international levels. Seeing the importance of using the ability to communicate in English, the community service team from the English Language Education Study Program at the University of Muhammadiyah Bengkulu provided training (workshop) for teachers at IT IQRA Middle School, Bengkulu City. This activity provides provision, knowledge and training for teachers so that they are proficient in speaking English. The methods used in this training include material assistance (lectures), discussions; question and answer, and practice speaking English. Prior to the training, a pretest was given to see the initial ability of the teachers to master spoken English. Then they were given training and carried out a post test to see the results of their participation in the English speaking training. From the results of the activities of the IT IQRA Middle School teachers, it can be interpreted that in general the training activities provided positive results, namely growing the enthusiasm and interest of teachers to use English in their daily activities while at school. In the aspect of communication skills, some teachers are already very skilled in speaking and this ability makes other teachers become brave and speak English more often. It is hoped that this training activity can be followed up considering how motivated the teachers are through a sustainable program that can be carried out through a broader cooperation program.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction has increased, particularly through AI-generated feedback to support reading activities. However, research on students’ trust in AI feedback and its relationship with critical reading ability remains limited. This study investigates EFL students’ trust in AI-generated feedback and examines its relationship with critical reading performance. Using a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 17 undergraduate EFL students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu, Indonesia. Data were collected through a five-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring trust in AI feedback and a five-item critical reading test. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation analysis were applied. The results show that students demonstrated a moderate level of trust in AI-generated feedback (M = 3.40 per item) and moderate to relatively high critical reading performance (M = 3.35 out of 5). The correlation analysis revealed a positive but weak relationship between trust in AI feedback and critical reading performance (ρ = 0.28, p = .27), indicating no statistically significant correlation. These findings suggest that although students generally trust AI-generated feedback, such trust alone does not significantly enhance critical reading ability, highlighting the importance of integrating AI feedback with teacher guidance in EFL reading instruction.

Abstract

Abstract The Revised Bloom's Taxonomy provides a framework for evaluating cognitive levels in learning materials, and achieving a balanced distribution of lower- and higher-order thinking skills in textbooks is essential to fulfilling the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions in Interactive English 2 for Junior High School, Merdeka Curriculum edition, based on the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Using a qualitative descriptive design with document analysis, 114 reading comprehension questions across 10 chapters were examined and classified into six cognitive domains: Remembering (CI), Understanding (C2), Applying (C3), Analyzing (C4), Evaluating (C5), and Creating (C6). The analysis revealed that lower-order thinking skills dominated, with Remembering (62.28%) and Understanding (18.42%) comprising the majority, while higher-order thinking skills such as Analyzing (7.02%), Evaluating (6.14%), and Creating (3.51%) were underrepresented. These findings indicate that the textbook emphasizes factual recall and basic comprehension over critical, analytical, and creative thinking. which is inconsistent with the goals of the Merdeka Curriculum. Therefore, it is recommended that future textbook development ensure a more balanced distribution of cognitive levels to better support students' higher-order thinking skills.
