Abstract

Differentiated Learning has emerged as an educational strategy designed to accommodate the diverse characteristics, interests, readiness, and learning styles of students. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of differentiated learning and the challenges faced by English teachers in teaching writing skills. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis. The research was conducted at SMPN 1 Palu, involving one English teacher and 31 eighth-grade students, with in-depth interviews conducted with three selected students and the teacher. The findings revealed that the teacher applied differentiation in four areas: content, process, product, and learning environment. Students were given varied materials tailored to their readiness levels, engaged in flexible group activities, and allowed to demonstrate understanding through multiple formats. These practices supported students' active participation, increased motivation, and fostered creativity in the writing process. Moreover, the teacher created a supportive and adaptive classroom environment that encouraged collaboration and comfort. However, the study also highlighted challenges, such as limited resources, difficulties addressing students with special needs, and the complexity of planning differentiated tasks. Despite these barriers, differentiated learning significantly enhanced the quality of English writing class in alignment with the Merdeka Belajar curriculum

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate human conversation and offer interactive, personalized learning experiences. This quantitative study investigated the effectiveness of an AI Chatbot (implemented using the website platform https://www.aichatting.net) in improving students' vocabulary mastery at SMP Negeri 01 Dapurang Pasangkayu, Indonesia. The study employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing an experimental class (8B, n = 25) that utilized the AI Chatbot with a control class (8B, n = 25) that employed a conventional teaching method. The intervention was conducted over six sessions across three weeks, from April 26 to May 19, 2025. Students completed pre-tests and post-tests to assess vocabulary mastery. The experimental class mean score increased from 31.60 to 76.00 (gain = 44.40; Cohen’s d = 4.71), while the control class improved from 32.00 to 46.00 (gain = 14.00; Cohen’s d = 1.43). An independent samples t-test on post-test scores revealed a statistically significant difference between the classes, t (48) = 12.42, p < .0001, with a 95% confidence interval of \ [25.27, 34.73]. These results confirm that the AI chatbot had a substantial impact on vocabulary mastery in practice. While the study supports the potential of AI chatbots as effective vocabulary-learning tools in junior high school settings, it also acknowledges the limitations of the quasi-experimental design and recommends further research using randomized controlled trials.

Abstract

This study explored the dual role of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, examining whether it functioned more as a tool to support comprehension or as a hindrance to fluency development. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved three English teachers and ten intermediate-level students in a bilingual educational context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analysed thematically. Findings revealed that when used strategically and sparingly, code-switching served as an effective pedagogical scaffold, enhancing comprehension, reducing learners’ anxiety, and fostering confidence—particularly among lower-proficiency students. Teachers reported that occasional use of the students’ first language (L1) maintained lesson flow and facilitated understanding of complex material. However, excessive reliance on code-switching was found to limit students’ opportunities to practice English, foster dependency on L1, and impede the development of fluency and communicative competence. These findings underscored the need for a balanced and principled approach to code-switching, where teachers used L1 judiciously to support learning while progressively increasing English use to promote fluency. The study contributed to the ongoing debate on the pedagogical value of code-switching, highlighting its potential as a flexible instructional strategy when applied thoughtfully within learners’ sociocultural and linguistic contexts.
