Abstract

This study was situated within the context of college-level English-as-a-foreign- language education in China. It compared the effectiveness of AI-generated feedback and teacher feedback in improving English learners’ writing proficiency. A questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were also conducted to examine learners’ acceptance of and attitudes toward AI feedback. Results revealed that both the experimental group (receiving AI feedback) and the control group (receiving teacher feedback) showed significantly higher post-test scores compared to their pretest scores. Although the mean difference in post-test scores between the two groups exceeded that of the pretest, no statistically significant difference was found in their final performance, suggesting comparable efficacy between AI feedback and teacher feedback in enhancing writing proficiency. Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated moderate acceptance of AI feedback, with perceptions varying across proficiency levels. However, learners universally agreed that combining teacher feedback and AI feedback would yield greater benefits for writing development. The study concludes that both feedback modalities have distinct benefits and misfits, advocating for their integrated—rather than exclusive—use in writing instruction.

Abstract

This study examines the use of comic strips in improving students' reading comprehension in various educational contexts. The results of the analysis show that the use of comic strips is effective in improving reading comprehension scores, as well as encouraging students' interest, active participation, enthusiasm, and excitement in learning. For example, at SMA MUHAMMADIYAH 7 Serbelawan, the use of comic strips significantly increased the average reading comprehension score compared to the control class. At SMPN 13 Palu, the integration of comic strips in reading learning showed a marked increase in scores, supported by statistical analysis that supported the results. Recommendations were given to integrate comic strips in English teaching practice to improve the effectiveness of reading learning. In addition, it is hoped that the use of this comic strip can have a positive impact on improving students' reading comprehension, where some students still experience difficulties in understanding a text.Overall, this study confirms that comic strips are an effective learning medium for improving students' reading comprehension and enriching their learning experience.

Abstract

The study’s purpose, participants, and main findings; however, the implications of the research are not clearly articulated. Although the text briefly states that instructors should understand students’ affective components and identify strategies to address challenges, this statement remains too general. The authors should explicitly explain how the findings can inform instructional practices in English-speaking programs for example, by guiding teachers in designing affective-based interventions, adapting classroom activities to reduce anxiety, enhancing support for low-confidence learners, or creating more student-centered speaking environments. Clarifying these implications will strengthen the abstract by demonstrating the practical relevance of the study and highlighting its contribution to teaching and learning in English Village contexts.

Abstract

Professional development is crucial in improving teachers’ teaching quality and student outcomes. Hence, it is essential to identify the challenges and the current practices that language teachers faced in professional development, in Western Indonesia. To achieve the aim of this study. This study systematically reviews fifteen empirical articles from 2018 to 2025, sourced from SINTA, Google Scholar, and EBSCO. The analysis results were categorized in five themes: (1) teachers’ participating in offline and online workshops, (2) teachers involving in formal and informal training, (3) cultural-discursive arrangements influencing  teachers’ participation, (4) material-economic arrangements limiting acccess, and (5) social-political arrangements shaping institutional. The results show that teachers heavily rely on external training, workshops dominate in current practices, and structural barriers such as limited resources and extrinsic motivation limit teachers’ participation. By exploring specific challenges and practices in Western Indonesia and putting them within the Theory of Practice Architecture, the study synthesizes these findings and adds to the literature on professional development in Indonesia. The review emphasizes the necessity of context-specific methods that use school-based models, technology innovation, and mentoring to promote continuous teacher development.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which learning anxiety and learning styles predict English achievement among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Gondang. Employing a quantitative non-experimental research design, the study involved 40 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a learning anxiety questionnaire, a learning styles questionnaire, and an English achievement test. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistical techniques, including Pearson Product Moment correlation and linear regression analysis using SPSS 26. The findings reveal that learning anxiety and learning styles simultaneously have a significant effect on students’ English achievement. Partially, learning anxiety shows a significant negative influence on English achievement, indicating that higher levels of anxiety are associated with lower performance in English. In contrast, learning styles do not demonstrate a significant partial influence on English achievement. These results highlight learning anxiety as a crucial affective factor in foreign language learning, particularly in English classrooms. Although learning styles may shape students’ learning experiences, they are not a decisive factor in determining achievement outcomes when examined independently. The study suggests that English teachers should pay greater attention to students’ emotional conditions, especially anxiety, and create supportive learning environments to minimize anxiety and enhance achievement. Future research is recommended to explore additional psychological and instructional variables that may contribute to English achievement.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used to support EFL material development, yet many pre-service teachers often lack the skills to integrate it effectively. In response to this need, this study examines the implementation and impact of a structured AI-integrated training session to develop digital storytelling (DST) competencies. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved 90 EFL pre-service teachers participating in AI training sessions that followed a five-stage workflow: prompting, voice-over creation, image generation, video editing, and lesson planning. Data were collected from training observations, analysis of 23 DST projects, and a 10-item Likert-scale satisfaction survey. Findings show that participants successfully produce multimodal narrative DST using 4-7 AI tools per project, such as ChatGPT, Canva AI, AI Video Cloud, and Magic School AI, to produce diverse digital narrative materials. The digital products targeted students and designed pedagogically aligned lesson plans for Grades 2 to 12 that assessed multiple English skills, with listening and reading being the most frequently integrated. Fables were also the most selected genre, followed by romance, fantasy, and fairy tales. Survey results indicate a high level of satisfaction (M=4.25), confidence, and perceived usefulness of AI tools for EFL material development. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of integrating AI-driven tools in EFL teacher preparation and suggests practical implications for curriculum design in teacher education programs.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students’ English learning needs and the use of technology to support instruction in aviation and shipping vocational programs. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews to explore students’ language challenges, learning preferences, and teachers’ instructional practices. The participants consisted of 16 twelfth-grade students and one English teacher from a vocational school in Batam. The findings reveal that students face significant difficulties in listening and grammar, which reduce their confidence in speaking, while English instruction remains general and not aligned with the specific demands of each department. Technology was available but used minimally and primarily for basic presentations rather than interactive learning. These results highlight the need to implement profession-oriented English learning supported by interactive digital tools to increase motivation, develop communication skills, and enhance students’ readiness for the aviation and maritime workplace. Overall, this study contributes by providing insights into learners’ specific needs and emphasizing the importance of integrating targeted ESP instruction with meaningful technology use in vocational contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the comparative influence of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated input and teacher talk as listening materials for first-year university students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). As AI technologies become more prevalent in education, tools such as AI-generated speech offer new modes of listening input, while teacher talk continues to serve as an authentic and interactive source of language exposure. Employing a qualitative research design, this study involves classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals to examine students’ comprehension strategies, engagement, perceptions, benefits, and challenges with both types of listening input. The participants consist of university EFL students. The data will be analysed thematically to uncover patterns in learner responses of perceived benefits, challenges, comprehension strategies, and engagement associated with each input type. Findings indicate that learners perceived AI-generated voices as clear, consistent, and supportive of self-paced listening practice, facilitating vocabulary recognition and reducing listening anxiety. However, AI input was also described as limited in interaction and emotional presence. Teacher talk, in contrast, was experienced as more authentic and socially meaningful, providing real-time clarification, contextual scaffolding, and affective support, although natural speech variation sometimes increased cognitive demand. In terms of comprehension and engagement, AI-generated input promoted focused individual effort and autonomous learning, while teacher talk encouraged active participation, interaction, and sustained motivation. Overall, the findings suggest that AI-generated voices and teacher talk function as complementary listening sources, highlighting the importance of balanced integration to support effective EFL listening instruction.
