Abstract

This study aims to investigate the writing difficulties experienced by EFL learners and identify possible solutions to overcome these challenges. Writing skills are considered one of the essential competencies in English learning; however, many students perceive writing assignments as challenging and complex. Although mastery of writing skills is an important indicator of successful learning, many learners still encounter difficulties in developing effective written communication, particularly in academic contexts. Students are required to acquire fundamental writing skills to support their future academic needs, including thesis and research writing. This study focuses on EFL learners from the English Department of IPB Cirebon who are enrolled in academic writing courses. The differences in students’ English proficiency levels create various challenges in the learning process, especially in generating ideas, organizing information, and applying appropriate writing structures. Therefore, understanding students’ writing difficulties is necessary to provide appropriate learning strategies and instructional approaches. This research is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of EFL learners’ writing problems and provide insights for future studies in developing effective methods for teaching academic writing. The findings may also support educators in improving writing instruction and helping learners enhance their writing competence.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using the Stimuler application and vocabulary mastery on speaking skills at vocational high schools in Cirebon. A quantitative method with a survey design was employed, involving 149 tenth-grade students from SMK Kartika XIX Kota Cirebon and SMK Ponpes Manbaul Ulum in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instruments consisted of a Stimuler usage questionnaire, a vocabulary test, and a speaking test. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the Stimuler application had a significant effect on speaking skills (t = 12.256, p < 0.05), as did vocabulary mastery (t = 3.839, p < 0.05). The F-test further indicated that both variables simultaneously had a significant effect (F = 84.961, p < 0.05), contributing 53.8% to the variance in speaking skills (R² = 0.538), while the remaining 46.2% was influenced by other factors beyond this study. These results suggest that integrating the AI-based Stimuler application with vocabulary mastery is effective in enhancing vocational students’ speaking proficiency and creating a more interactive and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the Stimuler application's effectiveness as a learning media for improving vocational school students' speaking skills. The Stimuler application was chosen for its advanced artificial intelligence features that offer real-time feedback and simulate real-world communication, which is critical in vocational education where speaking skills are essential for workplace readiness. The study utilized a quasi- experimental design, with an experimental group using the Stimuler application and a control group using conventional techniques. Both groups were assessed through pre- and post-tests. The research involved 38 participants, with 22 students in the experimental group and 16 in the control group, over a period of four weeks. Researcher calculated that the experimental group's mean post-test score increased by an average of 15.1 points (from 65.4 to 80.5), while the control group showed a minimal increase of 3.9 points (from 64.8 to 68.7). These findings highlight the Stimuler application's ability to improve students' speaking skills through its AI-powered interactive features. The significant improvement in the experimental group suggests that the tool can offer a more effective alternative to traditional teaching methods in vocational education, where communication skills are key to students' future professional success.
