Abstract

This study aims to investigate the integration of GenAI in creating DSTs as a STEAM-based medium for learning English tenses and to determine students’ acceptance of the created DSTs by using a simplified R&D by Alessi. This method consists of three phases: planning, design, and development. During the phases, multiple GenAI tools were employed for activities such as scripting, image and audio generation, editing, and subtitling. The results show that each GenAI has its own role and produces different responses, which require a curation process to ensure pedagogical content and appropriateness. The DST was also validated by two experts in content and media using Aiken’s V, which confirmed strong validity (M = 0.98, M = 0.97). It was then disseminated through TikTok and Instagram. Furthermore, the thirty EFL learners participating in this study showed a significant improvement (p < 0.001) as determined by the Wilcoxon test. TAM results also showed a reliable score (0.87) and positive student acceptance (M = 4.12). These findings affirm that GenAI can effectively assist in creating DSTs, improve students’ tense understanding, and are positively received by students. The findings also provide a practical GenAI-assisted DST workflow for EFL-STEAM contexts.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the level and factors of anxiety experienced by higher students while writing essays through Google Docs. It used a quantitative data collection method collected through questionnaires adapted from the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) by Cheng and ESL Writing Anxiety by Zhang using Five-Point Likert Scale. There were 10 participants in this study selected by using convenience sampling. The results showed an average anxiety score of 63, indicating moderate anxiety levels. The study identified that a lack of sufficient writing practice was students' primary cause of anxiety. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the factors contributing to students' anxiety levels while writing essays through Google Docs. It can inform educators' strategies to support students in their writing assignments.

Abstract

Given that researchers aim to publish in prestigious journals, understanding the rhetorical organization of such publications is crucial. While this topic has been extensively studied, existing research has yet to explore how authors in reputable journals engage with prior literature. To fill this gap, the present study intends to analyze how research article authors respond to other earlier literature in their research article introductions (RAIs) published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. This study aims to achieve two objectives: to find out to what extent responding to other earlier literature is important in RAIs, and to discover what types of response authors employ in their RAIs. To achieve these goals, this study employed combined descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches for analyzing 40 RAIs published in Q1 journals as data sets in the present study. Then, a new analytical framework was designed to respond to the above objectives. The results indicated that responding to other earlier literature is obligatory in RAIs published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. In responding to other earlier literature, authors employed three types of response: either extending other earlier studies, modifying other earlier studies, or establishing a new method, idea, or knowledge. This study offers theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of how research article authors engage with prior literature within their RAIs. Its practical implications include guiding researchers on effectively utilizing prior literature to establish their research agenda when publishing in reputable journals.
