Abstract

This research aims to describe teacher purposes, investigate teacher methods, and explain teacher scoring practices in EFL classrooms. The study employs a descriptive quantitative design, collecting data through checklist and observational analyses using Google Forms. The subjects comprise EFL teachers from senior high schools and vocational schools in the Pinrang region. Results reveal that teachers utilize multifaceted assessment practices for interconnected purposes: monitoring student progress, providing feedback, motivating learning, guiding instruction, facilitating differentiation, ensuring accountability, and reporting outcomes transparently. This underscores assessment's vital role in enhancing learning environments and informing teaching decisions. EFL teachers evaluate language proficiency across skills through varied assessments, including instructor-made tests, student tasks, and standardized exams. This approach enables comprehensive insights into students' abilities while addressing individual needs. Scoring practices demonstrate a commitment to fairness, consistency, and comprehensiveness, utilizing rubrics, clear instructions, and balanced evaluation of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The findings highlight educators' strategic use of assessment purposes and methods to continually improve teaching and learning processes, supporting students' language development. This research contributes to understanding EFL assessment practices in Indonesian secondary education, offering insights for teacher training and educational policy development.

Abstract

The study focused on improving students’ speaking skills through the use of AI-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools. The main goals are to find and analyze the using Artificial Intelligence NLP models in improving English speaking ability among students at MAN 2 Parepare, and to know and analyze what factors influence the success of using Artificial Intelligence NLP models in enhancing the English-speaking ability of EFL students at MAN 2 Parepare. This study applied a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data from 34 students using observation, oral tests, and questionnaires. The oral tests evaluated fluency, pronunciation, accuracy, and content, while the questionnaire—based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)—measured students’ perceptions of the tool’s usefulness and ease of use. The results showed three main findings. First, the use of AI NLP models like Google Assistant offered personalized and interactive speaking practice, which helped improve students’ speaking performance. Second, there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results, with the t-test score (2,316) being higher than the t-table value (1,697), showing the positive impact of the AI tool. Third, two key factors supported the success of this approach: 74,19% of students considered the AI tool “very useful,” and 70,97% found it “very easy to use.” These factors contributed to increased motivation and active participation in speaking activities.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in language education offers a promising pathway to enhance teacher competence, particularly in speaking instruction. Despite its potential, some English teachers in the MGMP (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran) Madrasah Aliyah under the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Soppeng Regency continue to face difficulties in effectively utilizing AI tools and delivering CEFR B1-level speaking materials, particularly expressions of suggestion and offering help. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Sandy AI in improving teachers’ speaking instructional skills and to explore the integration of AI within professional development programs. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the research was conducted over two cycles and involved ten English teachers. Each cycle followed the stages of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. In Cycle 1, teachers received initial training on Sandy AI and lesson development using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method. Following the first cycle, additional interventions were implemented in Cycle 2, including targeted CEFR B1 training, peer mentoring by high-performing teachers, and workshops on AI troubleshooting. Data collection was conducted through structured observation using a rubric that assessed instructional clarity, AI usage, CEFR explanation, and student engagement. The results demonstrated significant improvement in teacher performance, with a 32% increase in average scores and 90% of participants achieving the success criteria by Cycle 2. Teachers showed enhanced confidence, clearer instructional delivery, and more interactive use of Sandy AI in the classroom. The findings indicate that Sandy AI is an effective and practical tool to improve speaking instruction when supported by a structured, iterative professional development framework. This model is particularly applicable to religious-based educational contexts seeking to modernize language teaching through AI integration.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the pedagogical competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers through in-service training in Pinrang Regency. Pedagogical competence is a key component of teaching quality, encompassing the understanding of student characteristics, curriculum development, instructional delivery, and learning assessment. The research employed a mixed-method approach using a convergent parallel design, collecting both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously. Quantitative data were obtained through pre-tests and post-tests using pedagogical knowledge assessments, while qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with six EFL teachers. The findings indicate that in-service training significantly improved teachers’ pedagogical competence, as evidenced by the increase in pre-test and post-test scores. Most participants reported that the training enhanced their understanding of learning theories, enabled them to design more effective teaching strategies, and increased their confidence in classroom management. However, some challenges were identified in the practical implementation of the training content, particularly due to limited institutional support. This study highlights the importance of sustained, context-specific teacher development programs that are supported by responsive educational policies. The results are expected to serve as a reference for improving teacher training strategies, especially in under-resourced educational settings.

Abstract

offers various benefits, such as increased student engagement, flexible communication, and exposure to authentic materials. However, it also raises ethical challenges related to privacy, professionalism, and content responsibility. This study investigates how English teachers at MAN 1 Kolaka Utara reflect ethical awareness in using social media as a teaching tool. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving four English teachers who actively used platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and YouTube. Thematic analysis revealed four central themes: ethical awareness, content selection, professional interaction, and student engagement. Findings suggest that while most teachers show commitment to ethical practices, such as respecting student privacy and maintaining professional boundaries, inconsistencies occur due to limited institutional guidelines. The study highlights the need for training and policy to support ethical digital pedagogy in EFL settings.
