Abstract

English language learning in higher education is a topic that continues to receive attention, especially in the context of globalization and the importance of cross-cultural communication. This paper outlines the main issues faced by English as a foreign language’ students, covering challenges in instruction as well as the need for reflection for teachers. The main problems in English language instruction in higher education include the varying ability levels of students, irrelevant curriculum, and the suboptimal use of technology in teaching. English teachers also often face difficulties in assessing student progress and developing effective teaching strategies. Reflection is a key element in overcoming these problems. English teachers need to regularly reflect on their teaching practices, identify their weaknesses and strengths, and adapt teaching methods according to students' needs. In addition, cooperation between English teachers and universities in the development of relevant curricula and continuous teacher training are also important in addressing the problems of English language learning. This paper further discusses the problems of English language instruction in higher education, provides practical suggestions for English lecturers and students, and emphasizes the importance of reflection and collaboration in improving the quality of English language learning at the higher education level

Abstract

This study investigates the importance of English language learning in Indonesia, particularly focusing on reading comprehension among students at Kakaskasen Christian Junior High School. As English has become a global lingua franca, mastering it is essential for students to enhance their communication skills and improve their employability in an increasingly interconnected world. However, many students struggle with reading comprehension, as evidenced by assessments showing that only 7 out of 25 students met the minimum required score. The challenges identified include limited vocabulary, lack of engagement with reading materials, and ineffective teaching methods. To address these issues, the research advocates for the implementation of cooperative learning strategies, specifically the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model. This approach encourages collaboration among students and fosters an interactive learning environment that can enhance their reading skills. The findings suggest that employing cooperative learning techniques can significantly boost student motivation and performance in reading comprehension, ultimately preparing them for future academic and career opportunities while promoting a deeper understanding of cultural diversity through language learning.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the realm of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education has brought forth transformative possibilities, particularly in the context of student motivation. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, encompassing quantitative surveys and qualitative study of previous literature, to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of EFL students' motivation within the AI-driven learning environment. Quantitative data collection involves administering structured survey questionnaires to a diverse group of EFL students who have experienced AI-based language learning tools. Qualitative insights are gleaned through document/literature study, aiming to provide in-depth narratives and understandings concerning the participants' experiences, attitudes, and perceptions regarding AI in EFL classroom. This integration highlights the nuanced interplay between AI technologies and motivation factors, shedding light on how AI can enhance intrinsic motivation, boost self-efficacy, and facilitate personalized language learning experiences. Moreover, the study addresses ethical considerations, ensuring the privacy and well-being of participants throughout the research process. Ultimately, the research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on AI's role in education and its potential to shape the future of EFL instruction. By unveiling the implications of AI on EFL students' motivation, this study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders, guiding the effective integration of AI to foster enduring and enthusiastic language learners in an increasingly digital age.
