Abstract

This study focuses on the impact of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based language model, on students’ motivation and engagement in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The research employs both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, combining data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviewing. The sample included 133 EFL students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur, with additional narratives gathered from three selected participants. Quantitative findings reflected high levels of motivation (M = 23.89) and engagement (M = 22.88), with a strong positive correlation (r = .767, p < .01) between the two variables. Motivation was significantly higher than engagement based on the Mann-Whitney test. The qualitative findings reveal the uses of ChatGPT by the students as grammar correction, translation, and writing, which improved their confidence and learning interest. In contrast, some of the students expressed dependence on the tool and encountered issues of incorrect generation and lack of access in the free version. Despite all this, the participants expressed the need of using ChatGPT as a support tool rather than a replacement for independent learning. This study aims to address gaps in prior studies that examined ChatGPT’s benefits but rarely compared students’ motivational and engagement levels using both quantitative and qualitative lenses, this research offers a more comprehensive analysis of how learners experience AI-assisted language learning. The study concludes that ChatGPT can be an effective tool when used strategically. It offers practical implications for integrating AI in language education and encourages the development of digital literacy and critical thinking among learners.

Abstract

This study explores the English language proficiency of tourism players in the Gayo Highlands and suggests strategic training paths under the English for Tourism (EfT) model. The design that was used was a quantitative, cross-sectional design using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the four core skills, which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The results indicated that there was a high difference between the receptive and productive skills, with listening and reading being much better compared to speaking and writing. The Pearson correlation analysis also revealed that listening and speaking skills (r = 0.95) were highly correlated, and it is worth discussing the pedagogical significance of the integrated input-output strategies. The findings highlight the importance of communication and culturally responsive training programs, which address the authentic language utilization that is necessitated in the ecotourism and heritage settings of Gayo. This is in accordance with previous studies that underscored the expectations of the society of the tourism actors not only to apply English functionally but also to project cultural identity by means of language. Practical suggestions are the use of mobile-assisted learning devices, participatory training creation, and stakeholder collaboration among local agencies and training institutions. The research has both theoretical contributions to the ESP/EfT scholars and practical usefulness to the policymakers and tourism developers who are concerned with sustainable language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a strategic communication model for Kadugenep Village to enhance cross-language interactions between local residents and tourists. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research collected qualitative data through interviews and focus group discussions with villagers, tourism stakeholders, and language educators, while a quantitative survey assessed the current linguistic capabilities and communication barriers. The data were also analyzed using using thematic analysis to summarize the villagers’ linguistic abilities and identify the most common communication barriers. The findings revealed that villagers express enthusiasm for engaging with tourists, limited access to formal language education and a lack of practical communication tools pose significant challenges. The proposed model incorporates a combination of basic language training, non-verbal communication strategies, and mobile translation applications to facilitate more effective interactions. The study concludes that a structured yet flexible approach to language learning, adapted to local needs and resources, can significantly improve rural communities’ participation in the tourism economy. Implementing this model in Kadugenep Village has the potential to not only enhance visitor experiences but also promote sustainable tourism development. Future research should explore how similar models can be adapted to other rural tourism destinations with varying linguistic and cultural contexts.

Abstract

A goal of this research is to set up learning media suitable for folktales like Google Sites did. the fifth grader students at SDN Tanggungan will be better at telling stories after reading this material. In this study, we attempt to solve the lack of digital media that Merdeka Curriculum-Framework speaking poses to students' skills and endeavours. This paper reports on a study using expert validation as well as individual (3 students), small-group (6 students) and large-group (25 students) trials. The ADDIE model was followed, which guided each stage of media development: needs assessment, design, development or production of materials, installation and use, and evaluation. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires and student practicality questionnaires. The medium scored 92% total on expert validation, with its contents, design and media elements all receiving excellent evaluations. Again, the practicality test showed a very high score of 97%, proving that students liked and found it useful in learning storytelling. They also felt the media helped them to understand the proper procedures greatly; most of them were able to tell their own stories after some guidance from training programs supported through use of this technology. These findings are consistent with previous studies that indicate Google Sites are very well received by users at an institute. The results offer new evidence of the usefulness and applicability to oral storytelling—an area heretofore underutilized within Indonesian language education. In conclusion, the Google Sites-based interactive multimedia materials developed in this investigation are very accessible and adaptable to the Merdeka Curriculum, helping nur ture creativity, communications competencies and digital know-how in primary school children.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of digital literacy and learning motivation in students' critical thinking skills. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design. The fourth-grade students at several public elementary schools in the Pegadungan subdistrict were selected as the sample of this research. The research sample consisted of 128 students. Data were obtained through tests measuring critical thinking skills and questionnaires assessing digital literacy and learning motivation. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression tests. The results showed a significant relationship between digital literacy (r = 0.331; p < 0.05) and learning motivation (r = 0.223; p < 0.05) with students’ critical thinking skills. Simultaneously, both variables had a positive and significant effect on students' critical thinking skills (R = 0.438; Sig. = 0.000). These findings indicate that students with higher levels of digital literacy and stronger learning motivation tend to demonstrate better critical thinking abilities. In conclusion, improving students’ access to digital resources and fostering intrinsic learning motivation can contribute significantly to the development of critical thinking skills. The findings of this study suggest that educators should integrate technology-based learning activities and motivational teaching strategies into classroom instruction to support the enhancement of critical thinking skills in elementary educatio

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research explores the perceptions, attitudes, and teaching practices of senior high school English teachers in Lhokseumawe City, Aceh, Indonesia, regarding the concept of World Englishes (WE). As English continues to evolve as a global language, its use across diverse sociocultural contexts challenges traditional native-speaker norms—especially those based on British and American English. Despite this global shift, English education in Indonesia remains strongly influenced by native-speaker standards embedded within the national curriculum. Using a qualitative case study approach, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and a literature review involving five English teachers from different schools in the area. The results indicate that although teachers recognize the existence of various English varieties, their comprehension of the theoretical and pedagogical principles underlying World Englishes is still limited. Most teachers continue to rely on inner circle varieties especially American and British English as the dominant teaching models, citing factors such as curriculum restrictions, insufficient exposure to global English varieties, and students’ relatively low proficiency levels. Consequently, the practical application of World Englishes in classroom instruction remains minimal. The study suggests that targeted professional development programs are essential to strengthen teachers’ sociolinguistic awareness and pedagogical skills in addressing English variation. Gradually incorporating non-native English varieties into classroom materials could foster more inclusive, realistic, and globally oriented English teaching practices in Indonesia. Keywords: World Englishes, teachers’ perceptions, English language teaching, pedagogical practice

Abstract

The consistent use of multimedia by student teachers in English language instruction has been recognized to enhance students’ motivation and learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English through multimedia. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed. The sample consisted of 31 students from grades VII and VIII at a junior high school in Salimpaung, Tanah Datar, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed descriptively with SPSS version 30.0. The findings indicate that students’ intrinsic motivation in learning English using multimedia was generally at a moderate level. Across the five dimensions of intrinsic motivation, students demonstrated high levels of enjoyment of the learning process, desire to succeed, encouragement to learn, and interest in learning, while their hope of achieving learning goals remained at a moderate level. These findings suggest that multimedia can support students’ engagement and intrinsic motivation in English learning, although the level of motivation was not consistently high across all dimensions. The findings imply that English teachers should integrate multimedia with appropriate instructional strategies to better foster students’ intrinsic motivation and create more engaging learning experiences in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a crucial necessity in higher education. This study aims to analyze the utilization of AI-based tools (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grammarly) in enhancing business correspondence writing skills and English-language economic data analysis among fourth-semester students of the Economic Education Study Program at Universitas Pamulang. Adopting a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method combined with perception surveys, this study involved an experimental group implementing AI-assisted Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests of business writing proficiency, as well as Likert-scale questionnaires to measure students' learning autonomy. The findings indicate that the directed use of AI significantly improves the accuracy of economic terminology and the efficiency of drafting business reports in English. Furthermore, students demonstrated a high increase in motivation as the instructional materials were more aligned with Industry 4.0 trends. However, the study also identifies challenges regarding academic ethics and over-reliance on digital tools. This research concludes that AI literacy must be integrated into the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curriculum at Universitas Pamulang to ensure students possess a competitive edge in the global labor market.

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the role of the hand puppet as a teaching medium in reducing speaking anxiety among junior high school EFL students through a qualitative study approach.  The sample of this study was eight eighth-grade students from a junior high school in Surabaya who were purposively selected based on their experience of speaking anxiety in English classes. The students were involved in English speaking activities assisted by hand puppets during classroom instruction. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reflective journals to explore students’ perceptions and reflections on the use of hand puppets in English-speaking lessons. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and themes related to students’ emotional responses, confidence, and anxiety levels. The findings revealed that most students perceived hand puppets positively, as they helped create a more enjoyable and less intimidating learning environment. The use of hand puppets was found to reduce students’ fear of making mistakes, lower their anxiety, and enhance their confidence in speaking English. Although a small number of students expressed neutral or less positive responses due to personal preferences, the overall results indicate that hand puppets can function as an effective instructional medium to support students’ emotional comfort and engagement in speaking activities. Therefore, this study concludes that hand puppets have strong potential as an alternative teaching medium to reduce speaking anxiety and foster a supportive speaking environment for junior high school EFL learners.
