Abstract

The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0, has ushered in significant technological advancements and disruptions across industries, including education. The teaching of English as a second language has been particularly impacted, with digital tools, artificial intelligence, and online platforms reshaping traditional pedagogical approaches. This paper explores the challenges faced by English teachers in adapting to these changes, as well as the innovative teaching methodologies enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies. We discuss the role of technology in enhancing learner engagement, the need for teacher upskilling, and the potential implications for English language proficiency in a globalized economy. Using case studies from various educational contexts, we propose strategies to successfully integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into English language teaching while preserving the human element of education. The findings suggest that while technology enhances learning efficiency, teacher adaptability and continuous professional development remain key to leveraging the benefits of the 4.0 era.

Abstract

This study explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English learning, examining its advantages, challenges, and future opportunities. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 20 studies published between 2020 and 2024, the findings reveal that AI tools such as chatbots, grammar checkers, and speech recognition systems have significantly enhanced language acquisition by enabling personalized learning, immediate feedback, and engaging educational experiences. However, challenges persist, including limited accessibility in underdeveloped regions, cultural biases in AI systems, and ethical concerns about data privacy. Moreover, the lack of teacher training and disparities in AI adoption further hinder its effectiveness. This study highlights future opportunities such as hybrid learning models and immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), which offer authentic simulations for language practice. By addressing these challenges and leveraging opportunities, AI can revolutionize English learning globally, making it more inclusive, accessible, and effective for learners of diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

The immense development of AI, particularly for writing tools, has made it unavoidable for students to become familiar with these technologies. The study investigates using AI writing tools, specifically Canva Magic Write, Quillbot, and Grammarly, in collaborative writing tasks. Eight third-semester students from the English Department at the Faculty of Letters, University of Persada Bunda Indonesia, were selected using a purposeful sampling technique since they have used AI writing tools, including Canva Magic Write, Quillbot, and Grammarly, in Advanced English Grammar and Essay Writing class in the academic 2024-2025 previously. The study employed mixed methods with an explanatory sequential mixed method design, which involved a two-phase data collection process beginning with quantitative data (Questionnaire) and followed by qualitative data (semi-structured interview). The results showed that three AI writing tools - Grammarly, Quillbot, and Canva Magic Write - significantly impact students' collaborative writing experiences. Grammarly improved writing quality, Quillbot enhanced confidence, and Canva Magic Write proved beneficial for idea generation. However, students faced challenges such as restricted access to premium features, issues with source accuracy, irrelevant suggestions, and technical difficulties. Despite these challenges, students expressed satisfaction with Grammarly and Quillbot, while Canva Magic Write received less favorable feedback due to slower performance and outdated sources. The study highlights the importance of understanding students' perceptions and attitudes toward using AI tools for collaborative writing.

This study explores the implementation of NA in the context of ESP course design for Hotel Management students. The research applies a descriptive qualitative approach, drawing data from classroom-based documentation and lecturer-led curriculum planning. Findings reveal that incorporating NA allows for better alignment between learners' target needs, learning preferences, and instructional goals. Key tools such as questionnaires, interviews, placement tests, and focus group discussions were used to gather data from learners and stakeholders. The study highlights how NA supports learner-centred instruction, improves motivation, and leads to more contextually relevant teaching materials. The article concludes by emphasizing the role of NA as a foundational step in curriculum and material development, especially in professional and vocational English settings.
