The visual prompts provided by the application supported students in developing coherent stories and increased their confidence in writing. The learning process also became more interactive and enjoyable. These results indicate that Storybird is an effective tool to support the development of students’ narrative writing skills in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The explosive growth of digital technology has had a substantial impact on English language learning by expanding access to learning resources beyond the classroom. Despite frequent exposure to English content via digital media, many learners continue to engage passively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature and activities of self-directed informal digital English learning (IDLE) and their impact on English proficiency. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with ten university students selected by purposive sampling. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analysed using an interactive model. The data show that students participate in IDLE by watching YouTube videos, utilising apps like Duolingo, listening to podcasts, and communicating on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Students presented both spontaneous and deliberate learning processes, with IDLE positively impacting vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and speaking confidence. IDLE's efficacy is dependent on motivation, consistency, and self-regulated learning mechanisms.

Abstract

Listening is a significant skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, especially in low-exposure settings where students have limited contact with English outside the classroom. However, many students struggle and demonstrate low motivation as a result of monotonous teaching approaches and a lack of engaging activities. Previous research has mostly focused on learning outcomes rather than students' perceptions of enjoyable listening activities. Furthermore, little research has explored students' perceptions in low-exposure settings. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate students' perceptions and determine the types of listening activities they enjoy the most. This study used a qualitative case study approach with students from MTs. Zainul Irsyad. Data were obtained through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings show that while students initially have negative perceptions, they respond positively to participatory activities such as songs, videos, and group discussions. Finally, enjoyable and interactive activities increase students' interest and motivation in learning through listening.

Abstract

English speaking and pronunciation remain challenging for EFL learners, especially in non-English departments. Although mobile-assisted language learning has been widely studied, limited research explores students’ perceptions of AI-based pronunciation applications such as ELSA Speak. Therefore, this study investigates students’ perceptions of using ELSA Speak to improve speaking and pronunciation skills. This qualitative descriptive study involved 20 students from the English Club at Hafsawaty University, with five students selected for interviews. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings show that ELSA Speak provides real-time feedback, increases students’ confidence, and supports independent learning. However, students also faced challenges, including internet dependency and limited free features. Overall, ELSA Speak is considered an effective tool for improving speaking and pronunciation skills among EFL learners.
