Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of ChatGPT feedback in enhancing the writing skills of semester four students at Business Administration study program, which is mostly as Gen Z and constitute a significant portion of today’s global population. Utilizing a mix-method approach, the research explores both quantitative and qualitative aspects of students’ interactions with ChatGPT in the context of foreign language education. A pre-test and a post-test design were employed, involving six students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

This activity provides insight into effective teaching strategies and how to design modules that are interactive and interesting, so as to increase student engagement. The development of English teaching module uses several digital applications such as Canva, Flipbook Maker, and Barcode Generator to create an innovative and interactive digital-based teaching module. The method used in this activity is organized in several stages, namely: (1) situation analysis, (2) observation and initial interviews, (3) instrument preparation, (4) pre-test and material presentation, and (5) post-test, question and answer session and evaluation. The success of this community service activities is measured using the percentage of pre-test and post-test results, where the results show a significant increase, almost reaching an average of 87% in the post-test results. These results indicate that quantitatively the understanding and knowledge of English teachers at SMP Swasta Al-Azhar Medan on digital-based teaching modules has increased after participating in the socialization held by the service team. This socialization activity is expected to be the first step in transforming teaching methods that are more modern and effective, and support students in achieving optimal learning outcomes. Keyword: digital-based teaching module; English language skills; interactive learning Abstrak: Pengembangan modul ajar digital bahasa Inggris sangat mendesak dalam konteks globalisasi dan kemajuan teknologi yang cepat.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) that was integrated with video conferencing platforms such as OmeTV to assess its impact on willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. Fifty students from vocational college were selected as an experimental group who received PBL approach, and another fifty students participated as a control group, who only attended video conferencing session. The study employed mixed methods, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data, to investigate students’ improvement on WTC before and after the implementation of PBL activities.  A questionnaire was developed by adopting WTC model from McIntyre (1998) to assess the effectiveness of PBL on the students’ WTC; meanwhile, in-depth interviews took place to explore the experiences and perspectives of how a supportive English environment can influence their WTC, challenge them to use English more actively and interactively, and overcome the difficulty of misunderstanding across cultures. The findings revealed a significant improvement in WTC for the experimental group, indicated by a t-value of 16.780 (p 0.001) and an R² increase from 45.3% to 85.4%. Conversely, the control group showed moderate improvement (t-value of 12.333, p 0.001) and an R² increase from 12.8% to 76%. This implied that video conferencing alone had a positive effect on the students’ WTC, but it was less impactful compared to the experimental groups who received PBL approach. Meanwhile, the interview results highlighted three key themes, namely, 1) feeling motivated to continue communicating in English and building confidence as an indicator of improved WTC, 2) challenges with foreigners helped them identify and overcome their language barrier and fear of making mistakes, and 3) usefulness of video conferencing session that provided authentic communication. Video conferencing platforms, such as OmeTV, enhance students' communication skills and build their confidence. Overall, the study contributes to the development of pedagogical approaches, as PBL offered student-centered learning to enhance their English language proficiency and communicative competence in the context of vocational students.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) with AI-supported tools, specifically the Orai application, to enhance students’ English-speaking proficiency. Conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR), the study involved two cycles, each including pre-tests and post-tests, assessed using the Speaking Rubric proposed by O'Malley and Pierce (1990). The participants were 25 first-semester students from the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) study program enrolled in the English 1 course at the Business Administration Department of Politeknik Negeri Medan during the 2025/2026 academic year. This study used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis of the intervention. The quantitative data revealed significant improvements in students' speaking proficiency. The pre-test mean score was 75.28, and by the post-test, the average score had increased to 86.00, reflecting a 10.72-point improvement. Additionally, Cycle 1 indicates an average increase of 5.96 points (from 75.28 to 81.24), while Cycle 2 shows a further 2.6-point improvement (from 81.24 to 83.84). This demonstrates a consistent upward trend in students' speaking skills throughout the intervention. Meanwhile, qualitative data further supports these findings, highlighting increased confidence, engagement, and active participation among students, particularly in real-world tasks related to tourism and hospitality. However, the intervention also revealed areas for further refinement. There is a need for more personalized support from instructors to address individual learning challenges, and a wider range of topics to cater to students' diverse interests and career aspirations. The integration of AI tools supported students in practicing individually and fostered greater confidence and more active engagement in collaborative projects. The results suggest that applying PBL with AI-assisted applications is an effective instructional strategy to address speaking challenges in English language learning at the tertiary level.
