Abstract

This study aims to analyse the difficulties experienced by female students at Tunas Ilmu Islamic Junior High School in learning English. English is an important subject in the curriculum, but some students still show difficulties in understanding and using the language effectively. This study uses a  qualitative descriptive method with observation, interviews and a questionnaire given to students. The initial results of the essay questionnaire show that 50% of students say they like English lessons, while the other 50% experience difficulties in learning. Meanwhile, the results of the multiple-choice questionnaire showed that students experienced three difficulties, namely difficulty reading sentences, understanding vocabulary, and understanding grammatical concepts. Learning difficulties are a problem that prevents students from following lessons as well as other students in general. Learning difficulties are commonly experienced by students. The results of the study show that the main difficulties students face are in speaking and listening skills, which are caused by a lack of vocabulary, low self-confidence, and limited exposure to English outside the classroom. Another contributing factor is the lack of variety in teaching methods. Therefore, this study is expected to serve as a basis for teachers to design more effective learning strategies that are tailored to the needs of students.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, has significantly influenced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning practices. This study aims to examine the role of ChatGPT as an AI-powered learning assistant in enhancing EFL students’ writing skills through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The study employed the PRISMA framework to identify, screen, and analyze relevant articles published between 2023 and 2025. The findings reveal that ChatGPT positively contributes to various aspects of writing development, including idea generation, grammatical accuracy, vocabulary enrichment, writing organization, and paragraph coherence. Furthermore, the use of ChatGPT enhances students’ motivation, self-confidence, and autonomy throughout the writing process. However, several challenges were identified, including overreliance on AI technology, academic integrity concerns, and the risk of inaccurate information caused by AI hallucinations. Therefore, ChatGPT should be utilized as a supportive learning tool rather than a substitute for teachers. The study concludes that integrating ChatGPT into EFL writing instruction offers considerable potential for improving learning outcomes when accompanied by the development of AI literacy, digital literacy, and academic ethical awareness.
