Abstract

Abstract: Grammar is one of the most important elements of the English language. There is not a single word in English that does not involve grammar. In fact, a lot of English proficiency tests use grammar as one of the parts. Mastering grammar is as easy as mastering writing and speaking. This makes grammar has a big contribution in mastering English. The purpose of this research is to improve English Grammar skills through the implementation of a grammar game application in English classes in the digital era. This application contains grammar exercises and interactive training games and is very contemporary. The approach used in this study is a quantitative experimental method, employing a pretest-posttest control group design. The study involved two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The data analysis process is divided into two stages. The first stage involves analyzing the pretest and posttest data, while the second stage focuses on analyzing data from the questionnaire on the application's use. For the pretest and posttest data, a t-test is applied. Specifically, an independent t-test, which is a type of parametric test, is used to compare two independent groups. The analysis is based on two criteria: (1) if the significance value (2-tailed) is greater than 0.05, it indicates no significant difference between the groups; (2) if the significance value (2-tailed) is less than 0.05, it indicates a significant difference. The comparison of pretest and posttest scores between the experimental and control groups serves to address the research question about the effectiveness of the English Grammar Practice application in enhancing grammar skills. The results suggest that the application has a positive impact. Although the experimental group initially scored lower on the pretest than the control group, the posttest results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group, demonstrating the effectiveness of the application in improving grammar proficiency.

The present scoping review investigates the methodological trends, geographical distribution, and study foci of grit in L2 educational contexts from 2020 to 2025. In the present review, 293 articles were initially identified from Proquest, JSTOR, and DOAJ databases (N = 293). In the end, 89 articles were assessed for eligibility, and 50 articles were included in the final review (n = 50). The findings of the scoping review include (1) quantitative methodologies dominated the retrieved articles, (2) studies in Asian contexts were predominantly found, and (3) L2 learners rather than L2 teachers are the focus of most articles. The present study underscores the need (1) to include qualitative findings in various cultural contexts, and (2) to conduct more grit studies with L2 teacher foci to provide more diverse insights into grit in L2 educational contexts.

Abstract

Speaking self-efficacy is crucial in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, as it significantly influences learners' confidence and performance in oral communication. However, research on the specific level of EFL learners’ speaking self-efficacy and its contributing factors remains limited. This study investigates EFL learners' speaking self-efficacy levels and identifies the key factors shaping their confidence. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected through two validated instruments: the EFL Sources of Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale (EFL-SSSES) and the EFL Learner Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale (EFLSSES). Results reveal that learners exhibit a moderate level of speaking selfefficacy (2.69–3.07). Among the four sources of self-efficacy—Mastery Experience (ME), Vicarious Experience (VE), Social Persuasion (SP), and Physiological Emotional States (PES)—Social Persuasion emerged as the most significant predictor of both Linguistic Self-Efficacy (LSE) (β = .294, p = .025) and Delivery Self-Efficacy (DSE) (β = .310, p = .016). In conclusion, EFL learners possess a healthy level of confidence in their speaking ability, with social persuasion playing a pivotal role. Future research should explore these factors across diverse educational contexts to inform effective teaching strategies.

It has been observed that when students do writing tasks on general topics in English, their writings tend to have a poor content and weak coherence. On the other hand, when students do writing tasks on ESP topics, their writings tend to exhibit a good coherence , a rich content and a variety in the use of jargon based vocabulary. The purpose of this study is to help students produce cohesive and coherent English texts by integrating their ESP writing skills with those of general English writing skills.

Abstract

Abstract: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has brought sophisticated tools such as ChatGPT into the education sector, sparking increased curiosity and inquiries about their possible roles in learning a second language. This qualitative study utilizes a phenomenological framework to examine the personal experiences of university students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the English Department of the State Islamic Institute of Kerinci, Indonesia. The research examines how learners use ChatGPT as a supplementary tool to enhance their English proficiency within the framework of contemporary digital education. Data were gathered via in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 16 undergraduate EFL students and were thematically analyzed to uncover recurring patterns, themes, and insights about their experiences. The results indicate that students view ChatGPT as a beneficial aid and a possible obstacle in their English learning journey. Students prominently pointed out its contribution to improving their writing assignments, increasing vocabulary, enhancing listening and speaking skills, and providing a variety of accessible learning resources. Additionally, the immediate feedback and real-time support from ChatGPT were viewed as beneficial for practicing grammar and sentence formation. Nonetheless, worries were expressed regarding the precision of the information shared, the danger of overdependence on AI technologies, and the absence of individualized engagement that conventional educators provide. This study highlights that although ChatGPT can serve as a beneficial ally in language learning, successful incorporation demands critical analysis, explicit guidelines, and supportive teaching from educators to ensure its advantages are utilized responsibly.
