Abstract

The study’s primary goal is to determine whether Microsoft Teams Reading Progress can reduce Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety in the virtual classroom. This study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods strategy to gather quantitative data and explain it using qualitative data. The study included 243 International Relations majors in Political Sciences. Results showed that participants’ EFL speaking anxiety decreased significantly after engaging in the Microsoft Teams Reading Progress. The quantitative findings showed that the EFL students need Microsoft Team-Reading Progress Feature to accommodate and assist their English-speaking anxiety. 53.48 % of respondents established that their anxiety decreased while practicing English speaking on the platform. The qualitative result showed that primary Reading Progress features successfully overcame the FLSA. The effect of individual variations may have been balanced by technological aid in the English foreign learners’ Foreign Speaking Anxiety scale. The results indicated that the Artificial Intelligence-generated instructional feedback lowered the FLSA of the participants. Nevertheless, the findings also highlighted the irreplaceable importance of instructors as facilitators and the possibilities of adopting Virtual reality (VR) in teaching foreign language learners, especially speaking competencies

Abstract

The present study was conducted to find the extent of the use of social learning strategies (SLS) by Indonesian learners of English as a second/foreign language (L2) from non-English departments. This study employed a sequential explanatory mixed-method design. 125 learners participated in the survey and six participants in the interviews. From descriptive statistics, the study found that generally, learners' use of SLS was at a high level. The majority reported they practised English with their peers, asked their teachers for help and corrections, and ask people to slow their speech down or repeat it if they did not get what was said. From the Thematic Analysis of the interview data, the study found that watching videos and quizzes in L2 classes encouraged learners to ask questions and do relevant discussions with peers. Also, learners mostly asked their peers questions when facing difficulties in L2 vocabulary and pronunciation. Implications included designing activities promoting psychologically safe environments in L2 classes where learners can use their SLS more optimally. Limitations are acknowledged and possible relevant future studies are suggested.

Abstract

This research article delves into the exploration of English pre-service teachers' proficiency in utilizing an artificial intelligence-based application, specifically Quillbot, to enhance reading comprehension within the context of English for Islamic studies. Qualitative data are derived from questionnaire, learning tasks and focus group discussions, which delve into students' perspectives on artificial intelligence for language learning and language teaching.The results indicate that English pre-service teachers adeptly harnessed Quillbot to paraphrase text from articles, effectively enhancing reading comprehension. Beyond paraphrasing, students demonstrated their analytical skills by subjecting Quillbot's output to grammar analysis. Moreover, the study showcased participants' comprehension abilities as they crafted questions and answers rooted in the article's content. Ultimately, the findings underscore the participants' favorable outlook on AI tools for facilitating language learning and teaching, accentuating the positive stance of English pre-service teachers toward integrating AI technologies into language education.

Abstract

Differentiated learning is one of the emphasized aspects of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, in reality, teachers face several challenges in implementing differentiated learning. Some literature mentions that not all schools using the Merdeka Curriculum implement differentiated learning. This is due to various obstacles, including inadequate facilities and teachers' insufficient abilities. This study found that the perceptions of English teachers at the secondary level in Bandung regarding their ability to implement differentiated learning are categorized as good. However, teachers still face difficulties in designing assessments and evaluations that align with the principles of differentiated learning. Nevertheless, teachers are most confident in their ability to understand students' characteristics and learning needs.

This study sought to discover the beliefs of three teachers at Maluku Barat Daya, Indonesia concerning classroom-based assessment by using descriptive qualitative approach to find out the teachers’ beliefs and its sources. This research also identifies the challenges teachers faced while putting it into practice and suggests ways they employed to get beyond those challenges. This study used a qualitative methodology and was divided into three phases for data collection: classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and document reviews. The data were triangulated to ensure validity, and Cresswell's flow model was utilized for analysis (2012). The study's findings demonstrated how crucial teachers’ opinions are regarding classroom-based assessment for individual assessments aimed at improving students' proficiency in the target language. The English Teacher Union, personal experiences, literature, lesson plans, and curriculum are the sources of the instructors' beliefs. However, when it came to putting classroom-based evaluation into practice, students' lack of skill and attitudes posed problems. Teachers address these issues by going over the content again, doing an icebreaker activity, and raising awareness of the pupils' deficiencies. This study comes to the conclusion that the phenomena in the classroom and instructors' views are related
