Abstract

Computer literacy, defined as the ability to effectively use computers and related technologies, is increasingly important in modern education. This study aims to analyze the relationships between computer literacy, student motivation, and reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students. A correlational research design was used, involving 300 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection was based on the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) for assessing computer literacy, the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) for measuring motivation, and the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests (GMRT) for evaluating reading comprehension. Statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and multiple regression, were performed using SPSS software. Results showed significant positive correlations among computer literacy, motivation (both intrinsic and extrinsic), and reading comprehension. Computer literacy had a strong correlation with reading comprehension (r = 0.60, p < 0.01). Intrinsic motivation (r = 0.62, p < 0.01) and extrinsic motivation (r = 0.48, p < 0.01) also positively correlated with reading comprehension. Multiple regression analysis indicated that computer literacy (β = 0.42, p < 0.001) and intrinsic motivation (β = 0.38, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of reading comprehension, with extrinsic motivation contributing as well (β = 0.22, p < 0.01). The novelty of this research lies in its integrated examination of computer literacy, motivation, and reading comprehension. The findings underscore the importance of these factors in enhancing academic achievement.

Abstract

Digital platforms have become increasingly integrated into educational practices in recent years in order to improve learning outcomes. TikTok, a popular social media app, offers unique opportunities for language learning, particularly in developing speaking skills. This study investigates the effectiveness of using TikTok as a tool for teaching speaking to eleventh-grade students at SMA N 2 Palembang. Objective: The primary aim of this research is to explore the impact of TikTok on students' speaking skills, engagement, and motivation in the learning process. The study also examines the potential challenges and benefits of integrating TikTok into language teaching. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The sample comprised 250 eleventh-grade students who participated in a pre- and post-intervention speaking test. Additionally, a questionnaire was administered to gather data on student engagement and motivation. In-depth interviews with 10 students provided qualitative insights into their experiences. Quantitative data were analysed using paired t-tests and ANOVA, while qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. The quantitative analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking test scores from pre-test (M = 65.3, SD = 10.4) to post-test (M = 75.8, SD = 8.7), with a mean difference of 10.5 points (t(249) = 18.63, p < 0.001). The questionnaire results indicated high levels of engagement (M = 4.5, SD = 0.6) and motivation (M = 4.6, SD = 0.5). Qualitative findings highlighted increased student confidence, practical application of speaking skills, and the supportive role of peer feedback. However, challenges such as technical difficulties and potential distractions were noted. The integration of TikTok into language teaching significantly improves students' speaking skills and engagement. While challenges exist, they can be mitigated with careful planning and support. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on digital and social media integration in education, offering a novel approach to enhancing speaking proficiency in EFL learners.

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical benefits and challenges of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. With the rapid advancement of AI, its application in education, particularly in language learning, has generated increasing scholarly and practical interest. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative data from a survey of 120 English teachers in Palembang with qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with 10 teachers. The survey employed a Likert-scale questionnaire to assess the perceived impact of AI, while thematic analysis was applied to the interview data. The findings indicate that 78% of respondents agreed AI supports personalized learning, 82% believed it enhances student engagement, and 75% reported increased student motivation. Nevertheless, 45% of teachers identified technical barriers such as unreliable internet access, and 52% expressed concerns over insufficient teacher training. Qualitative evidence reinforced these perspectives, with teachers highlighting the irreplaceable role of human interaction and warning against excessive reliance on AI tools. Overall, the study suggests that AI can enrich ELT by providing tailored content and real-time feedback, but its effective integration depends on addressing infrastructural limitations and strengthening teacher preparedness. Teachers also emphasized balancing AI with traditional pedagogies to preserve the essential human dimension of language learning. Beyond the classroom, these findings carry broader implications for policy and practice. They highlight the need for systemic reforms in infrastructure, sustained professional development, and stronger alignment between AI tools and curriculum goals. If strategically implemented, AI has the potential not only to enhance ELT practices but also to advance equitable, future-ready education systems.

There were 16 students of the third semester students involved in this study as the sample. They were divided into two groups, experimental group consisted of 8 students and control group consisted of 8 students. This study used quasi nonequivalent group design. The experimental group were taught by using debate technique meanwhile the control group were taught by using lecturing method. The result showed that the mean score of experimental groups increased from 63.28 in pretest to 73.80 in posttest. Furthermore, the result of independent t-test from experimental and control group shown that the t-obtained was 10.942 and it was higher than t-table 2.0049. It meant that there were any significant differences between experimental and control groups which was caused by debate technique given to the experimental group. It can be concluded that there was any significant difference between students who were taught using debate and students who were not. The results show that using debating activities played a significant role in improving and enhancing the critical thinking ability of high school students. Students’ feedback concerning the use of debating activities are, in general, also quite optimistic. Besides, the research proposes some suggestions for minimizing the drawbacks of using debating activities to enhance the potentiality of this method and make it more interesting, meaningful and effective.
