Abstract

The rapid growth of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education has created an urgent need to understand how future teachers perceive its benefits, risks, and required skills, especially in the Indonesian context. This current study aims to explore Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers’ perspectives toward GenAI and their expectations regarding educational content related to GenAI at teacher training programs. Employing a qualitative approach with phenomenology design, the data in this study were obtained through reflective writings and semi-structured interviews involving pre-service teachers from the English Language Education Department at an Indonesian state Islamic university. The findings of thematic analysis reveal that they perceive GenAI benefits teachers by serving as a brainstorming partner for designing learning activities and saving time, while also supporting students through personalized learning experiences and instant feedback that can enhance their performance. Despite its advantages, GenAI poses challenges such as its occasional unreliability for teachers and potential overreliance that may hinder original thinking and professional growth. Meanwhile, overreliance on AI could lower students’ interaction and critical thinking, increase plagiarism risk, and foster the perception that AI is more capable than teachers. Teacher training programs are supposed to address it by focusing on three aspects, namely GenAI literacy, pedagogical knowledge, and ethical considerations. The findings imply that teacher education programs must systematically integrate GenAI literacy, pedagogical application, and ethical guidance to develop competence in leveraging AI effectively while maintaining critical thinking, thoughtful instructional autonomy, and responsible professional practice.

Abstract

Although English is recognized as a key competency for nursing students in academic and clinical settings, English instruction in many Indonesian nursing programs remains focused on General English and does not fully address profession-specific communication needs. This study investigates the alignment between current English teaching practices and nursing students’ actual communicative requirements through a classroom-based needs analysis. Using a descriptive-quantitative design supported by classroom observations and document analysis, data were collected from 202 purposively selected nursing students at the Akademi Keperawatan Kesdam Iskandar Muda Banda Aceh (AKIMBA). Questionnaire responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were examined through content analysis. The findings reveal that English is primarily used for academic purposes (80.6%), with reading identified as the strongest skill (69.3% good) and speaking the weakest (18.3% poor). Students expressed a strong preference for interactive instruction (87% favoring group or pair work) and for lecturers to act as facilitators (67.3%). Although most students preferred General English (66.8%), a significant proportion (32.7%) indicated the need for English for Specific Purposes (ESP), supporting the relevance of a blended curriculum model. These results highlight a mismatch between current instructional practices and students’ professional communication needs. The study recommends integrating communicative, student-centered approaches and progressively combining General English with English for Nursing Purposes to better prepare students for academic success and effective clinical communication. The implications of these findings contribute to ESP curriculum development in nursing education within similar institutional contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the early-stage adaptation of Lombok’s local and Islamic literature into bilingual digital storytelling materials to strengthen children’s literacy. Responding to the persistent gap between students’ cultural backgrounds and the limited availability of engaging digital reading resources, this research aims to identify culturally grounded narratives and to design an initial model of a bilingual storytelling application. Employing a qualitative descriptive design within the ADDIE (Analysis–Design) framework, data were collected over three months from six English teachers, thirty students from elementary and Islamic schools, and twelve cultural informants, including storytellers, religious figures, and librarians. The data were obtained through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of oral and written traditions. A total of fourteen literary works, including Princess of Mandalika, Cupak Gerantang, Tegodek Godek, The Legend of Masbagik, as well as stories of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Yusuf, were analyzed and adapted into simplified bilingual scripts. Thematic analysis was employed to examine narrative content and pedagogical relevance, while data validity was ensured through source triangulation, method triangulation, and expert validation involving literacy specialists and local cultural guardians. The findings reveal strong enthusiasm among students toward culturally familiar stories, with approximately seventy percent demonstrating improved comprehension indicators, vocabulary recall, and engagement during bilingual reading sessions. Teachers also reported increased participation and motivation when digital and visual elements were introduced. The study concludes that integrating local and Islamic literature into bilingual digital storytelling offers a culturally sustaining pathway for curriculum development, supporting literacy development, character education, and cultural identity reinforcement through contextually relevant digital media.

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PJBL) has been widely adopted to address various instructional challenges in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. However, its specific impact on students’ creative writing performance in Indonesian secondary education remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of PJBL in enhancing secondary students’ creative writing skills, particularly in higher-order language production. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 72 eleventh-grade students who were assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received project-based writing instruction, while the control group was taught using conventional, teacher-centered methods. Data were collected through a creative writing test and analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicating that students exposed to PJBL demonstrated higher levels of creativity, idea development, and linguistic expression than those in the control group. These findings extend constructivist and sociocultural perspectives by illustrating how project-based tasks facilitate creative language use through collaboration, autonomy, and authentic learning experiences. Pedagogically, this study highlights PJBL as an effective instructional approach for fostering creative writing in EFL contexts and provides practical implications for teachers and curriculum developers seeking to promote creativity-oriented language instruction.

Abstract

English proficiency is essential for safe pilot-air traffic controller communication in aviation operations. While many Indonesian flight academies adopt TOEIC as an institutional benchmark for English certification, questions remain about its effectiveness in measuring the communicative competence required for operational aviation contexts. This qualitative study evaluated TOEIC instruction at an Indonesian Flight Academy using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. Data revealed a significant gap between strong institutional policy endorsement of TOEIC and actual classroom practice. Although institutional frameworks mandated TOEIC certification, curriculum implementation remained insufficiently aligned with ICAO language proficiency standards, instructors lacked specialized aviation English training, and teaching focused predominantly on test preparation rather than authentic communication scenarios. Notably, while cadets achieved respectable TOEIC scores (550–780), their operational communicative readiness during simulated aviation tasks remained limited. The study recommends curriculum realignment linking TOEIC objectives with ICAO descriptors, mandatory ESP professional development for instructors, and integration of simulation-based communicative tasks. Learner self-efficacy emerged as a crucial psychological factor mediating the transfer of language learning to real communication. This evaluation contributes to ESP pedagogy and aviation English policy by demonstrating how institutional, pedagogical, and psychological dimensions interact to shape language instruction effectiveness in professional, safety-critical contexts.

Abstract

Many EFL learners experience difficulty speaking fluently and confidently, particularly in assessment-driven learning environments. This study examined whether digital storytelling grounded in Lombok’s cultural heritage could enhance students’ speaking performance and influence their affective outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 15 undergraduate students who participated in a four to five-week instructional intervention. Speaking performance was evaluated through digital storytelling tasks using a five-aspect analytic rubric encompassing fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and closing remarks. To capture learners’ experiences, qualitative data were gathered from reflective journals, focus group discussions, and field notes. The results demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all speaking dimensions. Fluency showed the greatest gain, followed by vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and closing remarks. Qualitative findings indicated that these improvements were supported by iterative rehearsal cycles, increased audience awareness, and culturally grounded inquiry, which facilitated more accurate lexical choices, sustained engagement, and greater confidence. The study provides empirical evidence that locally anchored digital storytelling functions not merely as contextual enrichment but as a pedagogical design principle for speaking instruction. Theoretically, the findings are framed through an integrated perspective drawing on Communicative Language Teaching, Sociocultural Theory, and Self-Determination Theory. Pedagogically, the study recommends adopting culturally grounded digital storytelling as a core speaking cycle, supported by targeted focus-on-form activities and calibrated analytic assessment rubrics.
