Abstract

English as Foreign Language (EFL) pre-service teachers arguably face more challenges regarding rhetorical moves in argumentative essays, and one of them is intertextuality because EFL pre-service teachers' arguments require sufficient and high-quality support and evidence from other scholars. Intertextuality was mainly studied, grounding in texts without external tools, for instance, Artificial Intelligence (AI). In raising the AI era, the objective of this study is to investigate Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers' intertextuality in argumentative essays assisted by AI. Ten EFL pre-service teachers who attended sixteen courses in Academic Writing with neither teaching nor writing experience were recruited as participants. We employed a case study design to portray the nature of the phenomena, and the data were collected through documents (academic essays) to portray the practices, and interviews to represent teachers' beliefs on explicit and implicit intertextuality beyond their argumentative essays in facing AI. We employed content analysis from academic essays and interviews. The findings shows that that 1) EFL pre-service teachers mostly used reporting phrases and iconic references, but it was oriented to local references that targeted local audiences, so international references should be more practiced; and 2) EFL pre-service teachers' beliefs that assisted AI while writing argumentative essay was limited to writing accuracy, but it helped them to focus on intertextuality. Although they were enough to give sufficient intertextuality references in practice, they could not present their voices to tailor their arguments. Moreover, the intertextuality praxis and policy implications will be discussed in EFL pre-service teachers' argumentative essays assisted by AI.

Abstract

EFL learners often hesitate to communicate in English, especially during in-class activities, because they fear making mistakes. In contrast, students active in IDLE activities are more willing to communicate in English. However, development processes beyond their willingness to communicate (WTC) in informal digital learning of English (IDLE) have not been sufficiently addressed. This study explored how Indonesian EFL learners develop their WTC in English from receptive- and productive-IDLE. This study employed a narrative study. To gain a deep understanding of the stories, we purposely recruited five university EFL learners who regularly practice IDLE. The data included learning diaries and in-depth interviews with stimulus recall. Our qualitative content analysis revealed that students who participated in fan practices initially engaged with WTC, influencing various factors, including the degree of acquaintance, formality of the situation, number of people present, topic of discussion, degree of evaluation, knowledge of the subject, language of discourse, and the language proficiencies of public figures. Our findings also conformed to the pyramid model of willingness to communicate based on students’ IDLE activities. As they gradually developed their confidence and English communication skills, it took a long time, during which some of them began in junior high school and continued their studies at university. Educators may consider explicit supports to tailor in-class and out-of-class IDLE activities, which provide more qualitative and quantitative exposure to the authentic use of English.
