Abstract

The rapid decline of regional languages poses a significant challenge to cultural preservation and linguistic diversity. As globalization and digitalization continue to spread, regional languages are at risk of being overshadowed by dominant languages. This research explores the potential of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and gamification, to revitalize regional languages by enhancing language learning applications. The study aims to develop and evaluate an AI-driven, gamified language learning application designed to promote the acquisition and preservation of regional languages. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining the development of the language learning application with usability testing and user feedback. The application integrates AI to provide personalized learning experiences and uses gamification elements to increase engagement and motivation. The effectiveness of the application was tested through pilot studies with users from different age groups, focusing on language retention, engagement, and user satisfaction. The results show that the AI and gamification-based application significantly improved language retention and engagement among participants. Users reported higher motivation and enjoyment compared to traditional language learning methods, and the application was particularly effective in making learning more interactive and appealing for younger audiences. This study concludes that integrating AI and gamification into language learning applications can play a pivotal role in revitalizing regional languages, providing a scalable and engaging solution for preserving linguistic heritage.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in a child's life, aiming to help them develop abilities through classroom learning. Motivation is a key factor in achieving educational goals, significantly impacting students' performance, including those with special needs in inclusive education. In Indonesia, inclusive education policies ensure equal educational opportunities for all, including special needs children. This research explores how creative skills can enhance the learning motivation of special needs children at SLB Negeri 1 Pagaruyung. Utilizing qualitative methods, the study observes classroom interactions and interviews teachers to understand effective teaching methods and challenges. Findings indicate that creative activities, such as crafts and poetry, significantly boost motivation and confidence in special needs students. Teachers play a vital role in identifying and nurturing students' talents through continuous support and positive reinforcement. The study emphasizes the importance of innovative teaching approaches and a supportive learning environment in fostering motivation and personal growth among special needs children. These insights contribute to developing effective strategies for inclusive education, ensuring all children can reach their full potential.
