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 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.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is essential in second language acquisition because it supports effective communication and enhances students’ performance in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. However, vocabulary instruction in Indonesian classrooms often relies on teacher-centered approaches that may limit student engagement and autonomy. This study explores the use of RemNote, a digital note-taking and flashcard platform, to support vocabulary learning in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course for Sharia Economics students. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study employed a descriptive research design involving pre- and post-treatment surveys and usage data collected from 78 first-semester university students during a four-week intervention. Findings indicate positive perceptions across TAM constructs, suggesting that students viewed RemNote as useful, easy to use, and beneficial for vocabulary learning. The flashcard feature was valued for reviewing and organizing vocabulary. The study highlights RemNote’s potential as a technology-enhanced tool for vocabulary learning in ESP contexts.

Abstract

This study focuses on examining students’ perceptions of the English Academic Competence Test (TKA). The study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 40 high school students in Medan, Indonesia, who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 20 items and covering five dimensions: general perception, level of difficulty and comprehension, test-taking experience, impact on learning, and obstacles and expectations. The instrument validation results indicated that 15 items were deemed valid, and the instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.861). Descriptive statistical analysis indicates that students generally have a positive perception of the English TKA, with an overall mean score of 3.03. The “impact on learning” dimension received the highest mean score (M = 3.23), suggesting that students view the TKA as beneficial in helping identify weaknesses and supporting improvements in English proficiency. However, students still face difficulties in vocabulary mastery, reading comprehension, and questions requiring higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). These findings imply the need to strengthen literacy, enrich vocabulary, and develop critical thinking skills in English language learning to improve students’ readiness for academic assessments.
