Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of rule-based artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as Duolingo, Grammarly, Babbel, and ELSA Speak, on the English language proficiency of Thai high school students. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, data were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 30 purposively selected students who actively used AI-based language learning tools. The quantitative findings show that AI usage has a significant yet limited impact, explaining 13.8% of the variance in students’ English-speaking ability. Qualitative results revealed that students perceived AI applications as helpful for improving grammar and pronunciation, though less effective for complex language tasks requiring contextual understanding. Although the sample size restricts generalizability, this study highlights the potential of AI as a complementary tool in English learning and underscores the importance of aligning AI use with pedagogical strategies suited to the Thai educational and cultural context.

Abstract

This study investigates the psycholinguistic factors that influence junior high school students' ability to communicate in English, focusing on emotional and cognitive barriers that impede speaking performance. While numerous studies have examined speaking difficulties among university students, research on younger learners particularly junior high school students remains limited. This study addresses that gap by exploring the challenges faced by seventh-grade students at SMP Nasrani 5 Medan. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with selected students and teachers. The findings reveal that affective factors, such as fear of making mistakes, embarrassment, and anxiety, are the most dominant barriers to speaking English. Additional obstacles include overreliance on internal monitoring of grammar, limited vocabulary, and insufficient sentence construction skills. The study also highlights the importance of a supportive learning environment: strategies such as relaxed classroom settings, the use of engaging media like songs, and teacher encouragement were found to reduce psychological resistance and enhance students’ willingness to speak. These insights have practical implications for English language teaching, particularly in developing approaches that address emotional as well as linguistic challenges in early-stage language learners.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Indonesian Language and Literature Education at Universitas Muslim Nusantara (UMN) Al-Washliyah. AI is increasingly recognized as a transformative tool for enhancing student engagement, language proficiency, and pedagogical innovation. However, its application in the context of Bahasa Indonesia and local literature remains underexplored. Using a qualitative case study design complemented by quantitative survey data, the study involved 50 undergraduate students and 5 faculty members. Data collection methods included classroom observations, student and faculty interviews, focus group discussions, and Likert-scale surveys measuring student motivation, comprehension, and learning experiences. Findings show that AI tools—particularly those utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP)—significantly improved students’ grammar accuracy, sentence clarity, vocabulary diversity, and reading comprehension. Real-time feedback and adaptive learning features increased motivation and participation by 25–30%. AI also facilitated deeper engagement with regional dialects and literary texts. However, challenges emerged, including limited infrastructure, insufficient AI literacy among faculty and students, and the lack of NLP models optimized for the Indonesian language. The study concludes that AI integration holds significant promise for language and literature education, provided that institutional support, localized AI tools, and training programs are in place. Future research should focus on developing culturally inclusive, linguistically accurate AI systems tailored to low-resource languages.

Abstract

This study analyzes the persuasive discourse strategies employed in handbody product advertisements and identifies their relevance within the context of Indonesian language learning. As a form of mass communication, advertisements are inherently designed to influence audiences to take specific actions. In handbody advertisements, language is often manipulated to construct an ideal image and emphasize product benefits to attract consumer attention. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with a literature review approach. Data were collected through an in-depth analysis of various handbody advertisements from print and digital media, as well as literature related to persuasive discourse theory and Indonesian language education. The data were analyzed inductively to identify patterns of persuasive language, including word choice, sentence structure, language style, and rhetorical strategies. The findings reveal that advertisements utilize a variety of techniques to appeal to both emotional and rational aspects of the audience. The implication of this study is that persuasive discourse analysis can be integrated into Indonesian language instruction to enhance students’ critical thinking skills in understanding and producing persuasive texts.
