Abstract

This study primarily examines students’ descriptive writing achievement using the combination of the Process Approach with the EGRA technique, as well as its impact on their writing improvement. Considering the limitations highlighted in earlier Process Approach studies, this research examines the extent to which integrating EGRA into the planning stage can offer a more effective solution to these limitations. A pretest-posttest experimental and control group design was used to collect quantitative data from senior high school students. A comparison was made between students instructed using the Process Approach combined with EGRA and those following the original Process Approach. The findings showed that the experimental group produced significantly better descriptive writing texts than the control group. Thus, combining the Process Approach with EGRA can offer an effective teaching strategy for enhancing students’ writing skills.

Abstract

This study investigated student perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated synthetic voice technology as primary listening texts in English language instruction. A perception questionnaire comprising 8 Likert-scale questionnaire items was administered to 30 eleventh-grade students at MA N 1 Bandar Lampung. The instrument assessed five dimensions: clarity, naturalness, comprehension, engagement/motivation, and overall acceptance. Data analysis used descriptive statistics with mean scores and percentage distributions. Using Davis' Technology Acceptance Model, strong perceived usefulness outweighs moderate ease-of-use limitations. The instruction clarity problem represents a known technical challenge with documented solutions: reduced speech rate for instructions, simplified syntax, and enhanced audio production. Synthetic voice technology represents a viable educational tool, technical implementation prioritizes audio quality, and technology serves as scaffolding enabling student agency. Targeted technical improvements can address clarity limitations while preserving substantial educational value.
