Abstract

The control over the materials used in the classroom rests with the schools. Because of this, some educational establishments decide to develop their own curricula. When developing the module, schools must follow educational guidelines in addition to ensuring that the learning resources align with the curriculum.  This study aims to evaluate and investigate the English curriculum used in one of the middle schools. This study will use a qualitative descriptive research method in conjunction with a qualitative research design. When evaluating an English module for third-grade junior high school students, the Cunningsworth evaluation checklist will offer a comprehensive framework for a general examination and analysis of the module. The research yielded several findings. The linguistic substance of the language style is appropriate for the pupils' grade level. This skill set does not include any writing or listening tasks. The topic analysis indicates that the programme is engaging and exciting, and that there is a significant overlap between the subject matter and the students' daily life. In theory as well as in practice, this research would be helpful. In theory, this study should enhance education, especially in the field of assessing instructional materials for the English language. Additionally, it might support or add to previous findings. It is hoped that this research's practical application will help educators evaluate instructional resources, and English language instructors will find value in the findings. This study examines and assesses English content produced by the school, filling the evaluation gap left by earlier studies that evaluated widely used or education government textbooks. It is expected to assist schools in evaluating their land as a source of instructional materials to facilitate effective instruction.

Abstract

The research aims to compare the perspectives of students and lecturers on the use of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in higher education. The research follows a comparative study design with a qualitative method. Purposive sampling is used to select participants, including an English lecturer from a university and the researcher, who is a postgraduate student. Data is collected through a semi-structured interview conducted via Zoom. The interview questions cover topics such as the impact of ChatGPT on education, the most involved subjects for ChatGPT, challenges in using ChatGPT, ethical considerations, and the positive and negative impacts of ChatGPT for students and lecturers. Thematic analysis is used to analyze the interview data and compare the perspectives of students and lecturers. The findings highlight the potential benefits of ChatGPT in enhancing the learning experience, providing access to information and resources, and assisting in various educational tasks. However, challenges such as finding specific materials and the need for appropriate keywords are identified. Ethical use is emphasized, and both positive and negative impacts are discussed, including the risk of overreliance and reduced human interaction.

Abstract

This study examines how the use of ChatGPT, an AI-driven chatbot, influences learners’ speaking anxiety and their spoken performance in an English as a Foreign Language setting. The analysis is guided by a framework of language-learning anxiety that highlights three key components of speaking anxiety: communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety. A qualitative approach was employed, involving 30 university students from Eastern Indonesia. Data were collected through a 25-item Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from FLCAS, six open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews with 10 selected participants. The findings reveal that ChatGPT plays a crucial role in reducing communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety, allowing students to practice speaking English in a low-pressure environment. Notably, findings showed that after using ChatGPT in speaking practice, 60% of students experienced moderate speaking anxiety, while 26.67% exhibited high levels and 13.33% reported low anxiety. Additionally, frequent AI-assisted interaction enhances fluency, confidence, and structured speech formulation, improving oral proficiency. However, limitations were identified in pronunciation feedback, conversational naturalness, and expressive interaction, suggesting that AI should serve as a supplementary tool rather than a standalone language learning solution. Given these findings, future AI improvements should focus on voice recognition for pronunciation accuracy, adaptive conversational dynamics, and multimodal interaction strategies. This study underscores ChatGPT’s potential to effectively reduce speaking anxiety while advocating for integrated AI-human interaction approaches in language education to support comprehensive and immersive speaking practice.
