Abstract

The rapid advancement of AI technologies, particularly ChatGPT, is reshaping the educational landscape. Understanding how students perceive these technologies is crucial for their effective integration into academic environments. This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of ChatGPT's role in supporting academic tasks, such as learning, research, and assignments at the University of Bengkulu. A descriptive survey design was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Responses from 75 students across various faculties were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA to explore perceptions regarding ChatGPTs usefulness, ease of use, and ethical considerations. The results indicate that students view ChatGPT as moderately useful, particularly for saving time on assignments and research tasks. However, there are ethical concerns, notably about plagiarism, and a demand for better training on the ethical use of AI. ChatGPT is perceived as a valuable tool in enhancing academic efficiency, but there is a need for comprehensive training to address ethical challenges in its use.

Abstract

Writing a research article for a reputable journal is not easy especially for new authors or postgraduate students in social sciences and humanities including language related fields but they can write and publish a book review paper (henceforth BRP) in a high impact journal to practice writing in English at an advanced level. This study is aimed at analyzing the discourse structure and argument style of BRPs in language related fields published in high impact journals. Sixty BRPs were chosen from six different journals published in several countries analyzed in this research. The four move BRP discourse pattern model as suggested by Bezerra (2001) was used in this study. The results show that, in terms of the appearance of moves: Move 1 or introducing the book and Move 4 or addressing a final idea about the book are categorized as conventional while Move 2 or outlining the book content and Move 3 or examining the book are obligatory. However, only one step (Move 2-Step B or highlighting the topic of the book) out of 16 steps in all moves is obligatory; 7 steps are classified as conventional and the other 8 are optional. In other words, in each move, there is at least one obligatory or conventional step. This implies that only a half or 50% of the steps are obligatory or conventional while the other half are optional. The optional steps are possibly used by the BRP authors to provide additional important information about the book being reviewed to attract readers to read and/or own the book.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to review the self-perceived oral presentation anxiety and coping strategies of non-English majors of the University of Bengkulu. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach in sampling the 130 participants to gather information through the Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA) and Oral Communication Strategy Inventory (OCSI). Students reported a moderate anxiousness, which was associated with language and assessment. Use of social-affective measures, such as self-talk and relaxation, was most common in students and then by fluency-oriented measures. The results of One-Way ANOVA indicated that the difference in the use of strategies by level of anxiety was significant. Social-affective strategies and fluency-specific strategies were more common among high-anxiety students (F=26.70, p <.001; F=11.94, p <.001). Conversely, message simplification was popular among the moderate-anxiety students (F=15.78, p <.001). What the study determines is that there are special strategies, such as specially designed interventions, such as message construction workshops, fluency training, and relaxation methods, that can facilitate the quality of presentation. Such results shed light on the strategies that the non-English majors adopted to overcome presentation anxiety and offer ways in which the EFL learners can reduce the latter.
