Abstract

In today’s digital era, social media platforms are increasingly leveraged as tools for English language learning. This study investigates the influence of Jane Elisabet’s educational videos on learners’ self-confidence in speaking English. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with five English Education students who regularly engaged with Jane Elisabet’s video content. The findings indicate notable improvements in learners’ willingness to speak, pronunciation accuracy, and ability to construct basic sentences. Key contributing factors include the simplicity of the language, contextual relevance, and the presenter’s supportive and approachable delivery style. Grounded in Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, this study emphasizes that reducing anxiety and fostering emotional support can significantly enhance second language acquisition. The results suggest that short, authentic video content on digital platforms not only supports linguistic development but also strengthens learners’ psychological readiness to communicate in English. These findings highlight the potential of social media-based videos as practical supplementary tools in English language education, particularly in boosting learners’ speaking confidence.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of English songs as a teaching strategy to enhance students’ listening comprehension in EFL classrooms, with a particular focus on teachers’ perspectives. Addressing the limited research on how teachers perceive and implement songs within listening instruction, the study adopts a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six experienced EFL teachers from senior high schools in East Java, Indonesia, and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings reveal that teachers view English songs as an effective tool for increasing student engagement, facilitating vocabulary development, and improving overall listening skills. Nonetheless, challenges were noted, including the complexity of language used in songs, cultural references unfamiliar to students, and the time required to prepare appropriate materials. The study concludes that, when integrated thoughtfully, English songs can serve as powerful tools for enhancing listening comprehension. The findings also underscore the significance of institutional support and targeted professional development in promoting the practical application of these tools in EFL teaching.

Abstract

This study examines secondary school students’ attitudes toward using ChatGPT as an educational tool for English writing. Since the development of artificial intelligence (AI), ChatGPT has increasingly been used to support writing skill development, particularly in idea generation, proofreading, vocabulary enrichment, and improving writing structure. In the context of English language learning, writing is often considered a challenging skill because students must organize ideas, apply grammar rules, choose appropriate vocabulary, and maintain coherence in their texts. Therefore, the presence of ChatGPT offers potential assistance for students who need immediate feedback and writing guidance. This research employed a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews as the main data collection technique. A total of 25 students were purposively selected based on their English proficiency level and computer skills. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify students’ perceptions, experiences, and concerns regarding the use of ChatGPT in English writing activities. The findings revealed that ChatGPT provided several benefits for students. It helped them improve their writing skills by giving instant feedback on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and organization. Students also reported that ChatGPT supported vocabulary acquisition by introducing new words, expressions, and alternative sentence forms. In addition, the tool stimulated idea generation, especially when students experienced difficulty starting or developing their writing. However, the study also found several limitations. Some students expressed concern about becoming overly dependent on AI, while others noted that ChatGPT’s suggestions were not always accurate or suitable.
