Abstract

English language learning in elementary school requires engaging and contextual media to support children’s vocabulary development. This study examined the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated with the animated series Bluey in English vocabulary learning among sixth-grade students at SD IT Imam Syafi’i Cendekia 2 Pekanbaru. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model was employed with 26 sixth-grade students selected purposively because they were the class receiving the AI-supported Bluey-based English instruction. During the treatment, students watched selected episodes of Bluey, engaged with English vocabulary presented through the animated content, and used AI-supported activities to reinforce vocabulary learning through guided practice and feedback. Vocabulary tests were administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test with SPSS. The results showed an increase in the mean vocabulary score from 62.88 (SD = 18.23) in the pretest to 80.57 (SD = 11.60) in the posttest. The paired-samples t-test showed a statistically significant difference between the two scores, t(25) = 7.723, p .001. These findings indicate that the AI-supported use of Bluey was associated with a significant improvement in students’ English vocabulary scores. The findings suggest that integrating animated audiovisual content with AI-supported learning activities can provide an engaging supplementary approach to elementary English instruction when implemented with appropriate teacher guidance.

Abstract

This Community Service Program aims to improve students’ confidence in speaking English in public through the Public Speaking for Teen Learners activity. The program was conducted at SMP IT Imam Syafi’i Cendikia Pekanbaru and involved students in an active learning approach that included interactive workshops, practice sessions, and performance simulations. Data were collected through observation, pre-test, and post-test speaking confidence measurements. The results indicate significant improvement in students’ confidence, fluency, vocal techniques, body language, and their ability to deliver English speeches effectively. Moreover, a supportive learning environment and a structured training model helped reduce students’ speaking anxiety. Therefore, this program is considered effective in developing students’ public speaking skills and is recommended to be continued through the establishment of an English Public Speaking Club as a sustainable follow-up program.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian EFL higher education, where students often demonstrate adequate linguistic knowledge but limited confidence and high speaking anxiety in oral communication. Although Virtual Reality (VR) has been widely discussed as an innovative tool in language learning, empirical evidence examining its effectiveness in improving both speaking performance and affective factors in Indonesian university contexts remains limited. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures to examine the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in improving speaking skills among second-ssemester EFL students at the Islamic University of Riau. The study involved administering assessments before and after the intervention, without a separate control group, allowing measurement of changes attributable to VR-assisted instruction. The findings indicate that the use of VR contributed to positive developments in students’ speaking abilities and learning motivation. Quantitative data showed improvements in several key areas, while qualitative feedback highlighted increased motivation and engagement. The research outputs include empirical evidence supporting the integration of VR in EFL speaking classes, comparative assessment data, and the development of an instructional model for VR-based activities. These results are aligned with recent studies and the original research objectives.
