Abstract

This is a study of the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), especially in language learning and teaching, especially in the 2021 stages. AI has taken significant roles in learning activities that focus on student-centered learning, namely the customization of the learning speed, direct feedback, and assessment which have benefited their intended users. It has also addressed language learning-teaching challenges, including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, cultural differences, and motivation. However, some issues need to be addressed and regulated to ensure the safe and effective use: privacy and security of the user, technical expertise, bias, cultural sensitivity, a lack of human interaction, ethical considerations, and over-reliance on technology. Furthermore, the benefits and limitations have yet to be determined based on their dominance or balance: On one side, AI enables the learners to decide how they want to learn, while the instructors have a virtual assistant to construct curricula, materials, and assessments. On the other hand, its impact on the students in general in other learning aspects must also be considered. Therefore, it is essential to investigate further its effectiveness in how One approach is to integrate AI-based language learning tools with traditional language instruction, providing learners with a comprehensive and balanced language learning experience. For example, AI-based tools can provide learners targeted instruction and feedback on specific aspects of language use. In contrast, traditional language instruction can provide learners with opportunities for authentic language use and interaction with native speakers and peers (Lambelet & Chassot, 2019).

Abstract

Practical English Training for Tour Leaders organized by the English Study Program of Widyatama University at PT. Shiro Mandiri Wisata aims to improve English communication skills for tour leaders. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the training based on aspects of the suitability of the material, the skills mastered, and the frequency of English use in work. The method used involved a survey through a questionnaire filled out by the training participants. The results showed that 71% of participants felt that the training material was very appropriate for their needs. The most widely mastered skill was writing (38.1%), while the frequency of English use in work was still relatively low, with 54% of participants stating that they rarely used it. These findings indicate that although the training provides benefits in improving English comprehension, further efforts are still needed to improve speaking and listening skills, as well as improve the application of English in the work environment. Recommendations provided include increasing speaking practice, implementing English use policies in the company, and providing further training and certification programs. With these steps, it is hoped that tour leaders can be more confident and competent in providing tour guide services for foreign tourists.

Abstract

This research explores the practices of distance learning in enhancing English speaking skills among migrant workers at the Community Learning Center (PKBM-PPI) in Taiwan. The research purpose is to understand how remote educational strategies are tailored to meet the unique needs of migrant workers, who often face challenges such as irregular work schedules and limited access to educational resources. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines quantitative data from pre- and post-course assessments with qualitative insights from participant interviews and instructor feedback. Key findings indicate that the integration of technology, such as mobile learning applications and online discussion forums, significantly improves learners' engagement and speaking proficiency. Additionally, the flexibility of distance learning programs allows workers to balance their educational pursuits with occupational demands. The study concludes that well-structured distance learning initiatives, supported by interactive and accessible content, can effectively develop English speaking skills among migrant workers, contributing to their personal and professional growth. The findings provide valuable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to implement effective language learning programs in similar contexts.
