Abstract

The study investigated whether or not students are interested in learning General Maritime English course materials and demonstrate how using General Maritime English course materials significantly increases students' success in oral communication. In this work, an experimental design was used. The researchers conducted nearly non-equivalent group design experiments for this investigation. For the second half of the academic year 2022/2023, 42 students were a part of the research group. Basic random sampling techniques were used in this investigation on a sample of clusters. Both an oral student communication exam and a student interest questionnaire were used to collect the data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine the student oral communication data, and the Likert scale was used to assess the student interest data. The study's findings were as follows: (1) The GME course materials might improve AMI AIPI's oral communication in Makassar's third semester. It can be said that GME training resources are effective at improving oral communication in terms of accuracy, fluency, and comprehension and that students are very interested in learning from GME language course materials at maritime academies. Signing up GME for Maritime English learning has the potential to significantly boost students' oral communication performance by providing an engaging, realistic, and effective learning environment. It can enhance language skills, cultural awareness, and overall communication competence, preparing students for successful careers in the maritime industry. As the implications of this study, enrolling in General Maritime English emphasizes the value of contextualized language instruction by improving students' oral communication skills. GME may greatly improve students' capacity for professional and effective communication in the marine industry by concentrating on industry-specific needs. This will improve safety, compliance, and career opportunities. But for these programs to be successful, they must handle the issues of resource allocation, varied student needs, and efficient assessment.

Abstract

atGPT, a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot which is intended to have natural, intuitive human-to-human conversations by employing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to produce responses to text input that resemble those of a human, is altering the teaching process especially in English for specific purposes (ESP). It engages learners on multiple cognitive levels, reinforcing comprehension and retention of ESP concepts. However, as we embark on this transformative journey, the potential displacement of human educators is needed to be concerned since AI is able to take over the teacher roles. This paper provides a comprehensive exploration about the benefits and challenges from the disruption of ChatGPT toward teachers’ teaching practice, especially for teachers who deliver English material for certain professional purposes. The study employs library research method design to identify sources that offer accurate data or professional judgment regarding a research question; eventually, these sources are a prerequisite for all other research techniques. The research has clearly described not the benefits of involving ChatGPT in teaching and learning transformation but also the advantages to enhance teachers’ abilities in delivering ESP content. However, there are some disruptions which become a big challenge in this paper which needs to be concerned by teachers and students. Overall, the challenges of ChatGPT involvement in teaching ESP emphasized that even though ChatGPT is sophisticated enough to facilitate learning and teaching environment, teachers’ role is still irreplaceable.

Abstract

This article examines Indonesian universities and colleges' TEFL trends, difficulties, and innovations. With English as a worldwide language, the study emphasizes the necessity of English language education in Indonesia, especially in higher education. It addresses the use of technology in TEFL, the trend toward communicative language instruction, and the concentration on teaching English for specific reasons. Following a comprehensive examination and analysis, the study concluded that although online resources for language and culture learning are growing in popularity, educators especially those with greater experience continue to face challenges in successfully incorporating technology into their lessons. The survey looks at how students feel about TEFL programs, how they feel about using technology to learn languages, and how they feel about how it affects their ability to communicate across cultures. In order to enhance TEFL instruction and technology pedagogical topic understanding, the study also places a strong emphasis on teacher professional development. The report recommends that Indonesian colleges and institutions improve their TEFL programs in light of these facts. These include innovative instructional strategies, upgrades to facilities, and teacher preparation courses that use technology. These concepts educate language, intercultural communication, and global citizenship with the goal of enhancing TEFL instruction in Indonesia.

Abstract

One way to promote local wisdom values ​​is to integrate them into learning in schools, particularly in Lombok where there are some valuable local wisdom which could be integrated into English textbooks. This research aims to integrate Lombok's local wisdom values ​​ into English language teaching, particularly for junior high school level to strengthen students' character and identity to face future challenges. This research employed a Research and Development approach to produce local wisdom-based textbooks with a total population and sample of 72 students who are divided into 12 groups based on the units in each textbook which are developed. Meanwhile, the practicality of the teaching materials was assessed by 2 lecturers who taught the Textbook and Material Development course, while the object of this research was the English teaching materials for junior high school level that would be developed. So far, there has never been any action to develop materials by integrating local wisdom in the form of folk tales, especially on the island of Lombok, into reading material in textbooks. This research reveals that some important characteristics obtained from Lombok's local wisdom values ​​that can be integrated into English language learning, they are religious, tolerant and egalitarian. Religious character becomes the foundation of other characters. These different characters can be integrated into the teaching and learning process. In the teaching process, teachers adjust teaching steps by instilling religiosity, tolerant and egalitarian values, while, materials are equipped with a teacher's book which provides direction to teachers, especially regarding the interpretation of local wisdom values ​​so that they comply with competency standards and basic competencies in the curriculum which is currently being implemented in Indonesia.

Abstract

Nowadays, education is undergoing a significant transformation, particularly in teaching methods that increasingly integrate technology. The use of technology-based teaching media, such as game-based online quizzes, has become a trend, especially among university students. Although game-based online quizzes like Quizizz demonstrate significant benefits in enhancing learning motivation, evaluating students, and making learning more engaging, there are negative impacts in their application. This study aims to delve deeper into the psychological impacts of using Quizizz on students' learning motivation, focusing on exploring students' general experiences and the negative effects of using the game-based platform. Qualitatively, the study employed a phenomenological approach using semi-structured interviews with 20 respondents selected from four different study programs across three academic years (2021, 2022, 2023). The findings revealed a dominant impression among students that Quizizz is an enjoyable evaluation platform for learning, effectively strengthen teaching material, serves as a flexible learning medium, and provides immediate feedback during evaluations. However, on the other side, Quizizz fosters premature satisfaction among students, leads to inefficient teaching time due to internet connectivity issues, encourages guessing answers rather than understanding questions, decreases narrative and written communication skills if overused in evaluations, opens opportunities for digital cheating, and potentially demotivates students due to psychological factors such as feelings of embarrassment from publicized failures. This could result in self-labelling with internalized failure.
