Abstract

This study was motivated by students' low self-confidence and English speaking skills, which were influenced by weak learning motivation and limited learning media that lacked variety. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an innovative solution through interactive applications that can function as personal practice companions. Preliminary study results from interviews with students at MA Model Zainul Hasan show that 75% of students have below-average speaking skills, which is caused by a lack of confidence and limited time for practice. This study aims to determine the effect of using AI as a practice companion on improving students' confidence and English speaking skills. The method used is pre-experimental with a one group pre-test and post-test design, involving 84 students as samples. The research instruments are confidence questionnaires and speaking skill assessments. The results of the analysis using the paired sample t-test showed a significant increase after the intervention: the average confidence increased from 58.95 to 67.08 (p = 0.000), and speaking skills increased from 55.67 to 66.17 (p = 0.000). These findings prove that the use of AI can significantly improve students' self-confidence and speaking skills. This study contributes to the use of technology in English language learning, particularly in developing students' speaking skills and self-confidence.

Abstract

The TOEFL ITP reading comprehension section poses a significant challenge for many EFL learners, necessitating innovative instructional approaches. This study aims to develop and evaluate a dedicated web-based learning platform integrating interactive strategies to enhance reading skills for the TOEFL ITP. Employing a Research and Development (RD) design with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the study involved 109 university students selected through purposive sampling. The platform's development included validation by English teaching and educational technology experts, followed by a limited field test. Data were collected through pre-test/post-test assessments and a usability questionnaire. The results indicated a substantial improvement in reading proficiency, with mean scores increasing from 355.88 to 423.45, a statistically significant gain of 18.98% (Z = -9.019, p .001). Furthermore, user evaluations revealed positive feedback on the platform's accessibility, interactivity, and ability to maintain engagement. This study concludes that the purpose-built web-based platform serves as an effective intervention for improving TOEFL ITP reading skills. It contributes to the field of digital-based EFL instruction by demonstrating the efficacy of a tailored, interactive learning tool for standardized test preparation.
