Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, offering both pedagogical opportunities and challenges in higher education. Understanding how teachers and students employ AI platforms is essential to optimize their benefits while addressing potential risks. This study employed a mixed-methods approach at a private university in Makassar. Quantitative data were collected through surveys involving 70 students and 35 English teachers, while qualitative insights were obtained from in-depth interviews with 30 students and 15 teachers. Data triangulation ensured reliability across survey and interview findings. Survey results showed differences in AI platform usage between teachers and students. Teachers primarily used QuillBot for paraphrasing, Turnitin for plagiarism detection, ChatGPT for chatbots, and Hello English for English-based learning. Students favored HIX.AI for paraphrasing, GPTZero for plagiarism, DeepSeek for chatbot interaction, and ELSA for English practice. Both groups frequently used DeepL as a translation tool. Interview data revealed challenges for teachers, including balancing facilitator roles with AI use, limited platform updates, accessibility barriers, and high costs of premium versions. Students’ challenges included overreliance on AI and limited access due to paid subscriptions. The findings highlight both opportunities and constraints in AI-assisted EFL learning. While AI enhances personalization and efficiency, it risks dependency and inequity in access. The study underscores the need for digital literacy training for teachers, institutional support for equitable access, and the development of adaptive AI-based learning models tailored to local contexts.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a digital library featuring illustrated stories with disaster mitigation content in enhancing reading literacy and environmental care among elementary students. The programme addressed the issue of a lack of individuals possessing adequate reading and writing skills, while concurrently emphasising the significance of imparting environmental education to children from an early age, a particularly salient consideration in regions such as Indonesia, where there is a high incidence of natural disasters. The present study employed a quantitative one-group pretest–posttest design, with 30 fourth-grade students (aged 9–10 years) being selected through purposive sampling. The instruments comprised a reading literacy test and a Likert-scale measure of attitudes towards environmental care. Due to non-normal distribution, data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results revealed significant improvements in reading literacy and environmental care attitudes, with all students achieving positive ranks. There were no declines recorded, and positive effects were evident in terms of students’ enthusiasm, active participation, and ability to connect stories with real-life disaster experiences. These results show that combining digital illustrated stories with disaster mitigation content is an effective way to support literacy development, character education and environmental awareness.
