Abstract

Abstract : General background: Pronunciation is a fundamental component in English language learning, especially for primary school students, as it affects communication clarity and confidence. Specific background: In many Indonesian primary schools, pronunciation teaching is often limited to conventional methods without engaging multimedia tools, leading to low motivation and varied achievement. Knowledge gap: Limited research has applied reading aloud activities with Powtoon video to support pronunciation improvement in primary-level learners. Aims: This study investigates the use of Powtoon video integrated with reading aloud to improve the pronunciation of 24 sixth-grade students at a primary school in Pasuruan. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test, findings show a significant increase in post-test scores (M=79.27) compared to pre-test scores (M=59.79), with a paired t-test value of -24.472, p < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference. Novelty: This research applies Powtoon not for reading comprehension but specifically for pronunciation through reading aloud, targeting young learners. Implications: The results suggest that integrating Powtoon into pronunciation lessons can increase student engagement, provide multisensory learning experiences, and improve pronunciation consistency. Highlights : Integrates Powtoon video with reading aloud for pronunciation learning Significant improvement in post-test pronunciation scores Offers an engaging multimedia-based approach for young learners Keywords : Powtoon, Primary School, Pronunciation, Reading Aloud, Multimedia Learning

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has not been matched by sufficient research on how pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers perceive the use of AI for developing instructional modules. This study explores these perceptions among pre-service EFL teachers from three universities in Indonesia who already have experience using AI. Most participants were female, in the final stage of their studies, and enrolled in a micro-teaching course. A survey was administered using an online questionnaire to investigate the practices and experiences of AI among pre-service teachers and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The findings show that the pre-service teachers were enthusiastic yet cautious in using AI. Many used AI regularly, while others used it occasionally. They perceived clear benefits of AI, particularly in generating ideas, improving efficiency, and enhancing the quality of learning materials. AI was most commonly used to design lesson topics, develop content, and create test items. However, several challenges were identified, including plagiarism risks, inconsistent AI-generated outputs, and concerns about overreliance on AI. ChatGPT was the most frequently used tool, and participants expressed interest in more adaptive features that tailor content to students’ needs. The study recommends that AI use in teacher education be guided by instructors, with limited use in student assignments to maintain ethical standards and critical thinking skills. These findings provide valuable insights into AI literacy and pedagogical AI applications, contributing to the development of AI-adaptive teacher education curricula.
