Abstract

One of the learning activities impacted by the transmission of the COVID-19 virus was a listening exercise in a university classroom. Regarding that assertion, listening comprehension requires help from learners' English language components and lecturers' aid. The study's objectives were: 1) to describe the influence of synchronous and asynchronous audio in online learning (Synchronous and Asynchronous in English Education Study Program); 2) to describe students' listening comprehension; and 3) to determine the positive and significant influence of synchronous and asynchronous audio in online learning on student listening comprehension. This study used a quantitative technique using Ex-post Facto research as the design. Purposive sampling was used to choose 32 students from the English Education Study Program in 2018 and 2019. A questionnaire was used to collect data, and the students' listening final grades were evaluated using IBM SPSS 20.0. The findings of this study revealed that: 1) Synchronous and Asynchronous at English Education Study Program was in the medium category, as the highest score was 76; 2) Students' Listening Comprehension was in the "A" category, as the mean score was 82; 3) Synchronous and Asynchronous have a favorable and substantial impact on students' listening comprehension, as evidenced by the coefficient determinant value of 0.267 (26.7%). The findings of this study are intended to be valuable to lecturers, students, and other researchers.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates how unethical AI tool usage contributes to the regression of academic writing skills among 20 English students at PSDKU Aru, Maluku, Indonesia. Data was collected through writing samples, plagiarism reports, interviews, and longitudinal grade tracking over six months. Findings reveal that students engaging in uncritical copy-pasting of AI-generated content (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) exhibited significant declines in paragraph coherence, argumentative depth, and syntactic complexity. Key regression patterns included fragmented topic sentences, incohesive supporting evidence, and formulaic conclusions. The study highlights ethical and pedagogical implications, advocating for AI literacy integration and scaffolded writing assessments. Recommendations emphasize proactive policy reforms and metacognitive training to mitigate skill atrophy.
