Abstract

This research explores the impact of AI-assisted tools on paragraph writing for foreign students learning English and Indonesian. Writing proficiency is a critical component of language acquisition, and AI offers innovative solutions to enhance this process. This research has demonstrated the significant positive impact of AI-assisted tools on enhancing paragraph writing skills for foreign students learning English and Indonesian. Using a mixed-methods approach with combain boyh quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study provided both quantitative and qualitative evidence supporting the effectiveness of these tools. The instrument used was a standardized writing test designed to evaluate grammatical accuracy, syntactical complexity, and vocabulary range. For English Language Learners (ELL), there was a notable improvement in writing skills, with average test scores increasing from 65 to 80. Additionally, there was a 40% reduction in grammatical and syntactical errors and a 30% enhancement in vocabulary usage. Similarly, Indonesian Language Learners (ILL) experienced a rise in test scores from 60 to 75, a 35% reduction in errors, and a 25% improvement in vocabulary usage.These results underscore the benefits of AI tools in language education. In conclusion, AI-assisted tools have proven to be highly effective in improving paragraph writing skills for foreign students learning English and Indonesian. The combination of quantitative improvements in writing proficiency and positive qualitative feedback from students highlights the transformative potential of AI in language education. By providing personalized, real-time, and contextually appropriate feedback, AI tools can significantly enhance the learning experience and outcomes for foreign students.

Abstract

This study addresses the gap in culturally contextualized English language instruction in higher education, where teaching often overlooks students’ sociocultural backgrounds. The research aimed to develop and evaluate an English learning model integrating Rampak Bedug—a traditional Banten performance rich in Islamic values—using the Dick and Carey instructional design model combined with the Culture-Based Learning (CBL) approach. The model was implemented with second-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang during the 2024–2025 academic year. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, project documentation, and reflective journals. Instructional strategies incorporated visual and auditory media—such as videos, traditional costumes, and musical instruments—alongside group discussions, project-based writing, and reflective activities. Findings indicated improvements in students’ descriptive writing skills, digital literacy, and cultural awareness. The integration of Rampak Bedug fostered engagement by embedding values such as harmony, discipline, sincerity, and cooperation. Formative evaluations led to revisions in visual aids and linguistic scaffolding. Summative evaluations highlighted enhanced student collaboration, creativity, and reflective practice. In conclusion, this culturally grounded, multimodal instructional model supports communicative language learning while promoting professional development skills aligned with human resource management principles, such as teamwork and instructional planning. The model demonstrates strong potential for replication across educational levels and cultural settings in Indonesia, offering a transformative, socially relevant approach to English language pedagogy.

Abstract

Code-mixing has become increasingly prevalent among Generation Z, particularly in academic and social contexts. This study explored the types of code-mixing used by 8th-semester Gen Z students at Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang, Indonesia, and examined the underlying reasons for this linguistic phenomenon. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through direct observation of students’ spoken interactions and open-ended interviews conducted at different times. Audio recordings of code-mixing utterances were documented and transcribed for analysis. A total of 177 code-mixing utterances were identified, consisting of three types: insertion (85.3%, 151 instances), alternation (14.7%, 26 instances), and congruent lexicalization (6.2%, 11 instances). The data suggest that insertion is the most dominant form of code-mixing among participants. Several reasons were identified for the frequent use of code-mixing. Students often engage in it unconsciously and see it as a way to improve their English language skills. Additionally, code-mixing is perceived to carry social prestige, making speakers feel confident, proud, and "cool." Social factors—such as peer influence, exposure to trends, and admiration of public figures—also contribute significantly to this behavior. The study reveals that code-mixing among Gen Z students is driven by both linguistic and sociocultural factors. These findings underscore the need to understand code-mixing not merely as a linguistic habit but as a socially influenced form of communication reflective of identity and group belonging.
