International Journal of Education, Language, and Religion (IJELR) is a scientific journal published binually on May and November. IJELR seeks to develop knowledge and practice in the three domains of its title (education, language, and religion) and the relations between them. It welcomes research articles, literature reviews, and position papers dealing with any languages (mother tounges, global English, indigeneous, minority, heritage, and endangered languages), educational disciplines, and religions. IJELR encourages submissions from a variety of diciplinary approaches. It opens for studies into cultural content, literacy, intercultural and transnational investigations.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating Project-Based Learning (PBL) with AI-supported tools, specifically the Orai application, to enhance students’ English-speaking proficiency. Conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR), the study involved two cycles, each including pre-tests and post-tests, assessed using the Speaking Rubric proposed by O'Malley and Pierce (1990). The participants were 25 first-semester students from the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) study program enrolled in the English 1 course at the Business Administration Department of Politeknik Negeri Medan during the 2025/2026 academic year. This study used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis of the intervention. The quantitative data revealed significant improvements in students' speaking proficiency. The pre-test mean score was 75.28, and by the post-test, the average score had increased to 86.00, reflecting a 10.72-point improvement. Additionally, Cycle 1 indicates an average increase of 5.96 points (from 75.28 to 81.24), while Cycle 2 shows a further 2.6-point improvement (from 81.24 to 83.84). This demonstrates a consistent upward trend in students' speaking skills throughout the intervention. Meanwhile, qualitative data further supports these findings, highlighting increased confidence, engagement, and active participation among students, particularly in real-world tasks related to tourism and hospitality. However, the intervention also revealed areas for further refinement. There is a need for more personalized support from instructors to address individual learning challenges, and a wider range of topics to cater to students' diverse interests and career aspirations. The integration of AI tools supported students in practicing individually and fostered greater confidence and more active engagement in collaborative projects. The results suggest that applying PBL with AI-assisted applications is an effective instructional strategy to address speaking challenges in English language learning at the tertiary level.

Abstract

Increasing student involvement and academic accomplishment in junior high school, especially in the eighth Learning in junior high school, particularly in the eighth grade, can be challenging.   The group work method, which is thought to be successful in encouraging cooperation, active engagement, and enhanced student learning outcomes, is one strategy used to solve this problem. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of group work and determine its impact on English learning outcomes for grade VIII students. The research used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews. The results showed that students responded positively to the group work method, which helped them understand the material and complete tasks through interaction and cooperation. In addition, group work increases students' learning motivation and cognitive engagement. However, the effectiveness of this method is affected by the internal dynamics of the group, such as participation, commitment and discipline of the members. The results of this study reveal differences in participation patterns between female students who tend to be more active than male students. Supporting factors for the success of group work include friendship relationships, leadership, and active communication, while the use of cellphones is a significant obstacle. In conclusion, the group work approach improves English learning results, but it should be noted that successful group management is crucial to its success.  The study's findings show that female students participate differently than male students, who are generally more active.  While camaraderie, leadership, and active communication are supportive characteristics for group work performance, cell phone use is a major obstacle.  In summary, group work techniques improve English learning results, but their effectiveness depends heavily on good group administration.

Abstract

AI-based language equipment is now heavily used in English learning and teaching because it can offer personal, efficient and interactive educational experience. Therefore, this research aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of AI in the field of language acquisition by reviewing the literature systematically. Thematic analysis of 22 studies between 2023 and 2025 were included. The results indicate that AI facilitates personalized learning and feedback, time efficiency, learning engagement, skill development, accessibility and teachers’ support. Nevertheless, the review of literature also uncovers a number of limitations including over-dependence on technology, transgressive environment which personifies with a lack in academic integrity and critical thinking, concerns related to data privacy, challenges of accuracy and reliability, pedagogical and technical issues, as well as cultural and language barriers. These findings underscore the need to consider the judicious and ethical use of AI to extend its utility in English language education.

Abstract

This study investigates how gender influences suprasegmental features—specifically pitch, duration, and intensity—in the pronunciation of Indonesian-origin words. The research addresses the problem of limited phonetic studies examining gender-based acoustic variation in Indonesian, particularly in devoiced stop consonants. The objective is to analyze whether and how gender differences manifest in these prosodic elements. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from ten participants—five males and five females—from diverse ethnic backgrounds (Bataknese, Javanese, Karonese, and Melayunese), all residing in Medan, North Sumatra. Nine commonly used Indonesian-origin words were selected, and acoustic features were analyzed using PRAAT software. The results show that female speakers consistently produced higher pitch values across all words, with peaks reaching up to 499 Hz, while male speakers demonstrated lower and narrower pitch ranges, as low as 94 Hz. Duration values also varied more among female speakers, ranging from 0.097 ms to 0.469 ms, indicating more dynamic articulation patterns, although some male speakers also showed extended durations in specific contexts. Intensity levels ranged from 23 dB to 54 dB, with female speakers exhibiting greater variability in loudness—from soft to very loud—whereas male speakers maintained a more stable and moderate intensity. These findings suggest that pitch differences are primarily influenced by physiological factors such as vocal fold structure, while duration and intensity are more reflective of individual articulation style, emotional expressiveness, and speech clarity. Despite limitations in audio editing features in PRAAT, the study provides new insights into how gender and speaker identity shape suprasegmental variation in Indonesian phonetics.
