Abstract

This study evaluated the readiness of English lecturers at the Darussalam Polytechnic to face the transformation of digital learning in the 5.0 era. Using a retrospective case study approach, this study identified the factors that affect lecturers' readiness and the challenges they face in adopting digital technology in teaching. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations, which were analyzed using descriptive and thematic analysis techniques. The study results showed that English lecturers at the Darussalam Polytechnic have a positive attitude towards digital learning and show an increase in technological literacy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the limitations of technological infrastructure and the need for continuous training remained significant challenges. This study concluded that lecturers' readiness to face digital transformation was quite significant, but it still needed to be improved through infrastructure improvement, continuous training, and institutional support. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the development of educational policies and teaching practices at the Darussalam Polytechnic and other higher education institutions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence in education has revolutionized students' learning styles. This study explored EFL students' perspectives on how AI tools assist them in their academic performance. Eighty-two EFL students enrolled in the English Language Study Program at the University of Qomaruddin participated in the study. A survey method was adopted for this study through a series of questionnaires to collect feedback from the students. The result revealed that EFL students heavily rely on conversational AI tools like ChatGPT and machine translation. The study also highlighted the positive impact of AI on various aspects of language learning, including vocabulary acquisition, grammar proficiency, pronunciation practice, and academic writing refinement. However, the study identified concerns regarding the potential barriers to AI integration, such as over-reliance on technology, the risk of replacing human teachers, and the need for enhanced digital literacy skills.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine whether speaking achievement differed significantly between students who received instruction using the Busuu application and those who did not. Purposive sampling was used to gather the sample. 56 students made up the study's sample and were split into two groups using a coin flip: the experimental and control groups. Classes VIII.1 and VIII.3 represented the experimental and control groups. Data collection took place by oral examination. The data analysis was done using a t-test. An independent sample t-test revealed that the obtained value (7.939) was greater than the t-table (2.004). It was determined that there was a considerable difference in speaking achievement between the students taught using Busuu and those not, as seen by the rejection of H0 and acceptance of Ha. The Busuu application was an excellent medium to improve students' speaking skills.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine if students' self-esteem and speaking proficiency significantly changed after receiving instruction from a drama coach. The 60 general conversation students, who ranged in age from 15 to 17, were the subjects of the study. In this study, a quasi-experimental design was used. A speaking achievement test and a self-esteem questionnaire were distributed to gather data. Three raters conducted interviews to collect data on speaking scores. Based on the findings, students who received drama coach treatment had higher mean scores in speaking achievement (81.46) and self-esteem (80.57). Additionally, the drama coach influenced students' self-esteem (29.7%) and speaking proficiency (58.8%). The remaining 11.5% may be influenced by additional factors not included in the research. The drama coach's role improved the teenagers' ability to speak English.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions and anxiety concerning online learning and technology adaptation among 20 fourth-semester accounting students at Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed with Likert scales and transcription analysis. The findings revealed that many students experienced concerns and anxiety during online learning. They needed more motivation for sessions conducted via Google Meet and Google Classroom, though the materials provided were often communicative. While students found it relatively easy to access supplementary materials, they perceived online learning as disorganized and struggled with flexibility in communication with lecturers due to their anxiety. Technical challenges, such as internet connectivity issues and limited data quotas, frequently distracted students and reduced their focus. These disruptions disrupted their perception of online learning, resulting in a lack of engagement and learning fatigue. Despite these challenges, students adopted technology and realized the importance of technology in their education. However, most participants felt offline learning was still more effective and engaging. Additionally, technical tasks must be considered more closely, and online education methods should be optimized more effectively to increase students’ interest and decrease stress levels. Despite its challenges, students showed a willingness to embrace technology for learning. These findings suggest that it is critical to find new ways of making online learning spaces less organized, meaningfully engaging, and more facilitative of the personal adjustments and coping needed by learners.
