Abstract

In response to the absence of a module for academic writing courses in a multicultural classroom context and the problems of starting to write and finding ideas for academic writing, this research aims to develop an academic writing module that meets the teachers' and undergraduate students' needs and voices. This study employed ADDIE model of R&D carried out through some steps: need analysis, drafting, developing, implementing, and evaluating. In the steps of need analysis, students claimed that reading contributes to getting ideas and building background knowledge of a certain topic for writing. Brainstorming is another voice they proposed to solve the problems. Moreover, they believe that writing essays can be the starting point for writing journal articles. Accordingly, by considering all findings in the initial step, the products of this R&D comprise students’ and teachers’ books. The product's specific characteristics are reading preceding essay writing, brainstorming, the syllabus, the scoring rubric with a detailed description, and academic honesty. The study revealed that integrating active reading into academic writing modules can be pedagogically implemented and enhance both students’ reading and writing skills. The following studies on developing a module for other levels of education can be carried out to further contribute to reading-writing pedagogy.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at present getting popularly used as the supporting tools of learning. The EFL students use various types of application to support their learning and doing the school assignment and projects. This study is thus aimed at portraying how AI is used as their supporting learning tools. This narrative inquiry is carried out by asking five selected students of English Department of a state university in Tulungagung who used AI to help them completing their final project of writing thesis proposal. The data were collected through interviewing them and reading their notes in July 2023. They were then qualitatively analysed. The results of this study revealed two main points. They do not only use Chat GPT as the most popular AI application, but there are also some other AI applications like Bing Chat, and Grammarly which are used to support their learning projects like writing research proposal. Those application are used for various reasons and usage like using Chat GPT to find framework of research topic, to develop and brainstorm ideas; employing Bing Chat to find review literature; and Grammarly is used to check the grammar error in their research proposal. Surprisingly, they can learn in a joyful learning atmosphere as well because they can play games while learning English vocabulary and other topics. Finally, these research results can be pedagogically implemented in the recent English Language Teaching which integrates technology for their teaching and learning process.
