Abstract

Many Indonesian pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) adopt bilingual policies requiring daily English communication, yet limited teacher proficiency often hinders their effective implementation. This study investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) SpeechAce to enhance teachers’ speaking skills for daily communication in a pesantren in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. Using a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, 29 teachers participated in a one-month intervention consisting of AI-based practice and training, pre- and post-tests, reflective logbook, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results revealed consistent improvement across pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar, with vocabulary and grammar showing the greatest gains. Qualitative findings highlighted teachers’ positive perceptions of AI in promoting self-regulated learning and as an anxiety-reducing tool for speaking practice, despite challenges such as technical issues and the need for a longer and a more structured guidance from a human-teacher. While AI SpeechAce effectively enhanced teachers’ speaking confidence through safe, feedback-driven practice relevant to their daily communication, its limitations shaped by linguistic gaps and technical challenges, underscore the need for future blended models and extended interventions to ensure stronger transfer into real-world communicative spoken English skills.

Abstract

This study explores the future of the Acehnese language through a linguistic futurology lens, focusing on the existence of archaic vocabulary as both a linguistic heritage and an indicator of language endangerment. Rich in historical, cultural, and local identity values, the Acehnese language is experiencing decline due to weakened intergenerational transmission, the dominance of national and global languages, and the lack of preservation policies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires involving 25 native speakers. The findings identified 82 archaic words categorized into nouns, verbs, and adjectives, reflecting traditional activities, local culture, and human–nature relationships. Based on UNESCO’s language vitality indicators, Acehnese is classified as vulnerable. The threats include decreased usage in public and digital spaces, limited documentation and educational resources, and shifting language attitudes. This study highlights the urgency of revitalizing the Acehnese language through educational integration, comprehensive documentation, and sustainable preservation policies to maintain regional languages as an essential part of national cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions and challenges of the video-based projects implementation as a form of Merdeka curriculum in speaking for the General Communication subject. The first-semester students of English Education Department IAIN Lhokseumawe become the subject of this study. Moreover, the data were gained through the distribution of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, which were then analysed descriptively. The research results show that the majority of students responded positively to the use of video-based projects in speaking lessons. Students feel more confident, motivated, and capable of improving their speaking skills as well as other supporting skills such as pronunciation, editing, and scriptwriting. In addition, this project also encourages independence, creativity, and provides a more contextual and meaningful learning experience. However, this study also found several challenges faced by students, such as technical constraints, inadequate equipment, difficulties in scriptwriting, and psychological pressure due to teachers’ expectation. Therefore, technical support, adequate guidance, and adjustments to learning strategies are needed so that the implementation of video-based projects can run more optimally. Overall, video-based projects have proven to be relevant as a constructive and participatory learning method that aligns with the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.     Keywords: Merdeka Curriculum, project-based learning, speaking skill, video-based project
