Abstract

The integration of technology in early education presents new opportunities for second language (L2) acquisition. Grounded in Stephen Krashen’s influential theory, this study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on Krashen’s language acquisition theory to create an optimal learning environment for young children. The primary purpose was to determine the effectiveness of an AI-assisted learning system on the linguistic skills and affective development of preschool-aged L2 learners. This study employed a 24-week, quasi-experimental, mixed-methods design. Sixty children aged 3–6 were assigned to either an experimental group using the AI system or a control group receiving conventional instruction. The AI platform was engineered to provide comprehensible input and real-time feedback within a gamified, low-anxiety setting. Quantitative data were sourced from pre- and post-tests measuring receptive skills, productive skills, and speaking fluency. Qualitative data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews with stakeholders, and teacher focus groups. The results indicate that the experimental group achieved significantly higher gains across all tested language domains compared to the control group. Furthermore, learners using the AI system demonstrated notable improvements in affective factors, reporting higher motivation and engagement alongside lower language anxiety. Qualitative analysis corroborated these findings, revealing increased confidence, enjoyment, and spontaneous language use among children in the experimental group. This study provides strong evidence that a theoretically-grounded AI system can effectively facilitate L2 acquisition in early childhood. By fostering a rich, interactive, and emotionally supportive environment, such technology offers significant implications for designing and implementing advanced language curricula for young learners.

Abstract

Financial literacy needs to be introduced as early as possible, not only limited to the introduction of money, amounts, functions and how to use it. Financial literacy activities at Almira Preschool and Kindergarten are still not running optimally. This shows the need for financial literacy education for students at Almira Preschool and Kindergarten. This study aims to develop interactive storybooks as a medium for teaching financial literacy to early childhood. This study uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model approach. The targets in this study were 16 K2 students at Almira Preschool and Kindergarten, along with a teacher and the principal. Data collection techniques used observation sheets, questionnaires, and interviews. Based on the results of expert validation, a score of 86% was obtained from media experts, 88% from language experts, and 76% from subject matter experts. These results indicate that the interactive storybook “Uang Pertamaku” is suitable for use as a financial literacy learning medium for early childhood, with opportunities for improvement in terms of media appearance, language clarity, and depth of material for optimal results.
