Abstract

This study explores the challenges and benefits of transforming pronunciation teaching through technology integration, specifically focusing on the insights of English language teachers. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, the research examines educators' experiences with implementing tools like SpeechAce in their classrooms. Findings reveal that while teachers recognize the potential of technology to enhance student engagement and provide immediate feedback, they also encounter obstacles such as varying levels of student familiarity with technology and the need for adequate training. Teachers emphasized the importance of balancing traditional teaching methods with innovative approaches to effectively address pronunciation challenges. Overall, the study highlights the dual role of technology as both a facilitator of improved pronunciation skills and a source of pedagogical challenges, offering valuable recommendations for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices in an increasingly digital learning environment.

Abstract

This study evaluates the alignment of reading passages and comprehension tasks in the SPLASH English textbook for Grade 10 vocational high school students, claimed to target CEFR B1 level under Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum, with CEFR B1 descriptors and national learning outcomes. Employing a qualitative descriptive content analysis, all 83 reading passages across units were systematically assessed using a CEFR based checklist covering text type relevance, vocabulary range, sentence complexity, comprehensibility, organization, inferencing potential, and cognitive demands of questions. Findings reveal high overall alignment, with unit scores ranging 92.85 to 96.42 percent (Highly Aligned), strong performance in vocabulary (92.73 percent Fully Supported), main ideas comprehensibility (81.82 percent), and question demands (87.27 percent), though sentence complexity (21.82 percent Minimally Supported) and text organization (18.18 percent) show minor inconsistencies. Dominant categories include Identifying Cues and Inferring (36.14 percent) and Reading for Orientation (34.94 percent), supporting B1 independent reading skills but lacking correspondence genres. The materials substantially align with Merdeka Phase E outcomes for information seeking and inferential skills, yet require broader text variety for full curriculum consistency. These results affirm the textbook's B1 suitability, contrasting prior misalignment studies, and recommend enhanced discourse features and genre diversity for optimal vocational EFL instruction.

Abstract

Although ChatGPT is commonly used to improve writing skills, its potential to improve speaking, especially English debate, remains understudied. This study aims to explore students' perceptions on the contributions of the Debate Coursebook with ChatGPT-supported learning activities for studying Matter (content), Manner (delivery, confidence, and pronunciation), and Method (structure, flow, rebuttal, and Point of Information). This qualitative research focuses on exploring the experiences of 10 students performing as debaters, moderator, timer, adjudicator, and audience through the interview, documentation, and observation. Each participant was given a unique code to guarantee anonymity and preserve the confidentiality of their identities throughout the research process, and the gathered data was examined using a thematic analysis technique. This technique was implemented to identify how they learn matter, manner, and method aspects (Freeley & Steinberg theory). The results showed that in the matter aspect, ChatGPT helped students construct more logical and relevant arguments, but some felt overly dependent on AI suggestions. For manner aspect, it is contributive for pronunciation, intonation, and confidence. Meanwhile, for method aspect, the debate structure and rebuttal skills became clearer, although some still had difficulty adapting the flow to the real-life debate format. ChatGPT-integrated debate coursebook is contributive for debate practice, especially big class, but it must be under the lecturer guidance. Instructors are advised to integrate ChatGPT as a supporting tool, not a replacement for conventional debate practice.
