Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the perceptions of 25 English for Tourism Industry students at the State Polytechnic of Malang on using ChatGPT as a speaking partner in tour guide role-plays. The research aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in improving fluency, vocabulary, and confidence, while noting challenges such as speech recognition errors, limited response variety, and technical issues. Data were gathered through Likert-scale questionnaires and open-ended responses and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that students valued ChatGPT for vocabulary enrichment and fluency practice, though it was seen as a complement rather than a substitute for human interaction. The study highlighted the potential of integrating AI into Tourism English curricula while calling for enhanced feedback and conversational realism.

Abstract

This study follows up students' perception to threaded online discussions from private university in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. This study was conducted on a sample space of 45 undergraduate Civil Engineering students who were all aged between 18 to 24 years. The participants included 13 females and 32 and they were then broken out into six groups to read the material and discussed in in the threaded online discussion through ProBoard platform. It employed a mixed-method approach and the interaction level were examined based on Thomas’ framework. Six students were interviewed in Bahasa Indonesia using semi-structured interviews to ensure that responses are clear. Interviews and questionnaires showed that 13 students experienced technical problems on the online platform. The atmosphere and communication matters played significant roles in eliciting unfavourable perceptions of the students in terms of online discussion. A follow-on examination indicates that in general, students do not like threaded discussions. However, the study also indicated that there is potential for online discussion to be used in language learning setting.
