Abstract

Critical thinking becomes a fundamental goal of higher education. Thus, critical thinking is a crucial competence in learning a foreign language. For this reason, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks support EFL learners and encourage their critical thinking ability. The present content analysis research investigates to what extent critical thinking is implemented in the EFL textbook used by senior high school students in Indonesia. It mainly determines whether the tasks in the EFL textbook promote students’ critical thinking skills. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (MONEC) authorizes the analysis of the EFL textbook. Freeman's critical thinking framework was used for the analytic categories. The findings found that the textbook promoted critical thinking from the affected aspect rather than the content and language questions in Freeman's framework. Moreover, the activities in the textbook mostly focused on how students delivered their responses to the topic in the EFL textbook. The findings recommend promoting critical thinking through affect questions, which has been considered one of the educational objectives in this country; textbook developers need to generate more tasks endorsing critical thinking in content and language. Furthermore, EFL teachers must be trained to vary the tasks that can encourage students' CT skills.

Abstract

In the digital era, AI (Artificial Intelligence) finds application in various fields, with education being prominent. In the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) practice, AI readiness can potentially enhance learning. The research aimed to investigate students' familiarity with AI and identify the obstacles ESP students face. Moreover, it was a case study research conducted at tertiary level in some universities in Indonesia. The participants in this study were Business English writing students and data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results revealed that students were unfamiliar with the use of AI in their environment for various reasons, indicating that they encountered challenges when integrating AI into their learning. Majority students showed a high willingness to use AI in their business English writing learning. Consequently, the research suggests an alternative approach to enhance learning by incorporating AI, , which can help overcome the challenges faced by students in integrating AI into their learning.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to provide an understanding of financial literacy from an early age. Apart from that, this service also provides brief English language training. The habit of saving will teach students to learn to be independent and practice not relying on their parents from an early age. The English language training in this service focuses on speaking regarding the introduction. The partner in this service activity is Kanisius Mlese Elementary School, located in Klaten Regency. The service team consists of two lecturers from the D3 Accounting study program, one from the D3 English language study program, and one from the Bachelor of Information Systems study program. The service participants are students from grades three to six. This service is carried out by providing explanations and training directly to students. Hopefully, this dedication can increase students' interest in saving from an early age. Apart from that, students are also expected to be able to introduce themselves using English properly and correctly.
