Abstract

This research examines various scholarly works that discuss the use of songs in English language teaching (ELT), focusing on their pedagogical benefits and theoretical foundations. The main objective of this research is to identify how songs support language acquisition from linguistic, cognitive and affective perspectives. The research used a systematic literature review method, with a qualitative content analysis approach and narrative synthesis of ten selected sources published between 2000 and 2024. The analysis shows that songs can improve students' vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, grammar awareness, motivation and emotional engagement. These findings are reinforced by various learning theories such as Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis, Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory, and Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. Although songs proved to be an effective tool in teaching English, some challenges were also identified, such as curriculum limitations, lack of teacher training, and inappropriate song selection. This study concludes that songs are a powerful learning medium if applied carefully and adapted to the context. It also recommends further development of structured and theory-based song-based teaching materials and teacher training to support their effective implementation in the classroom.

Abstract

The preliminary study revealed that 90% of the university students were not able to write in English well. There were some problems which made the semester-2 learners of the English Study Program of PGRI Indraprasta University unable to write in English. One of them was a method used by English teachers to teach writing. The preliminary study showed that 90% of the students were not able to write in English. While the objective of this study was to make learners write in English easily. The method used in this study to make learners was the oral questioning method or oral questioning guide in L1 (OQIGIL) since it could enrich the students vocabulary and improve their grammar understanding. There were two ways. First, Enrich the students' vocabulary. Second, change the way to teach grammar, especially tenses. The way to teach tenses should use the family term since a sentence is like a family. There was a subject that was called a mom. Mom consisted of two. Mom who had a ring was called “s” namely she, he it. This mom “she, he, it influenced a verb which followed it. For example, she never goes to school since she moved to another city. The second mom did not need “ s” as a symbol of the ring any more since this mom was busy with her children. This mom is “they, we, I, you.” This subject did not influence a verb which followed it. For example, the children usually go to school. While my father had two. First a sibling father who had an action because he had moved every day to make a living for his family. Second, a step father which consisted of “is, am, are, was, were, be and been. The role of step father was to replace the sibling father if he had passed away. While to enrich vocabulary, the researcher used a short story which was translated into his first language.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in education, changing how students learn and how teachers teach. This essay explores both the opportunities and risks of using AI in schools. On the positive side, AI supports personalized learning by adjusting materials based on students’ needs, helps teachers by automating routine tasks, and improves access for students in remote areas or with special needs. When used effectively, AI can make education more inclusive, efficient, and flexible. To examine these issues, this essay applies a descriptive–analytical–argumentative method. It begins by explaining how AI is used in education, then analyzes both its benefits and drawbacks, and finally presents a reasoned position supported by academic literature and real-world examples. The essay draws on sources from both international and Indonesian contexts to ensure relevance and balance. This topic is significant because AI adoption in education is growing rapidly, yet many institutions and educators are not fully prepared to face its ethical, pedagogical, and technological challenges. Therefore, it is suggested that schools, policymakers, and teacher-training institutions work together to create clear guidelines, ensure ethical data use, and equip teachers with the necessary skills. A thoughtful, human-centered approach is essential to ensure that AI enhances, rather than replaces, the irreplaceable role of educators.

Abstract

In traditional classrooms, activities and tasks were clearly a part of a pre-planned syllabus that had been previously designed and based on specific curriculum guidelines. Teachers, in answering the prescriptions laid down by these guidelines have found a difficult to be creative given the time and the demands imposed by them. In responding to admonitions for them to be creative, teachers have often resorted to bringing in randomly selected task for the sake of variety and to avoid monotony. In a learner-centered curriculum, learning tasks are selected for the purpose of raising learner awareness and development of strategies while at the same time working on items in the language that would lead to better fluency.

Abstract

Through an eye on the power dynamics in language, this study uses Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyze Emma's character in Jane Austen's Emma. The three-dimensional framework developed by Fairclough's text analysis, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice, is used in this research for analyzing how Emma's language both reflects and negotiates social hierarchy, gender roles, and power systems. Emma exhibits linguistic agency through her speech patterns, conversational dominance, and interactions with other characters, exposing both social limits and her self-determination. The results point out that Emma is influenced by the ideological frameworks of her day even though she occasionally uses discursive power. This research provides to a better understanding of how language acts as a tool for power and identity creation in literary discourse, particularly in regard to gender and class in Austen's works. By highlighting the importance of language in determining character interactions and social standing, this study advances literary discourse studies.

Abstract

The flipped classroom is an innovative learning approach for teaching English grammar in Understanding Structure courses. The lecturer may provide the students with a PowerPoint or video to watch at home. The grammar principles are then applied in class through discussion, practice, and peer evaluation. With this approach, students are encouraged to learn at their own speed and arrive at class ready for more in-depth discussion. This research approach is a literature review, which entails examining a range of sources, including pertinent research findings and reference books, in order to develop underlying hypotheses. The flipped classroom has been shown to improve students' motivation, foster active engagement, and improve their understanding of grammar principles. Its efficacy, however, depends on having top-notch materials and students taking ownership of completing assignments before class.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationship between the utilization of Grok AI as a teaching tool and the digital literacy of students. To achieve this, a quantitative research approach was adopted, involving 30 university students from different universities in West Java and Jakarta. Data were gathered using a questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale and were analyzed using descriptive statistics along with the Pearson correlation test. The results indicated that students exhibited a very high level of digital literacy, while their engagement with Grok AI was found to be at a moderate to high level. Additionally, a statistically significant positive correlation was identified between the two variables, with r = .364 and p = .048. This suggests that increased usage of Grok AI in educational settings leads to higher levels of digital literacy among students. However, the varying proficiency levels imply that additional factors could influence students' digital literacy. Consequently, Grok AI can be viewed as an important educational resource, but it requires further integration strategies and support systems to enhance its effectiveness in developing students’ skills.
