Abstract

The current existence of AI is unstoppable. Many parties consider AI to be a serious threat to the world of education, including universities. The use of AI by students in doing tasks often causes anxiety among lecturers. There is concern that AI reduces students’ creativity in exploring their own ideas in making essays or designing learning materials (worksheets). One of the courses that require students to explore their creativity is ESP Material Development. In this course, students are required to learn to develop teaching materials in the form of worksheets in accordance with the needs analysis results identified in the ESP Program Design course. This research is designed to find out students' tendencies in using AI for developing ESP worksheet, while also finding out whether they think that AI chatbot is really useful for them so that they can yield an ESP worksheet whose activities are in accordance with the learning objectives and having an attractive and professional appearance in the same time. The methods used were questionnaires for and FGD with 40 ESP Material Development class students. It was found that most students tried to use AI chatbot for getting inspiration whenever they get stuck in finding more ideas for their worksheets. Most students admitted that AI helped them in that situation. However, they did not recommend the use of AI from the very beginning of developing worksheets. They confessed that using AI would cause confusion and reduce creativity when it is used since very beginning.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of teaching strategies to improve reading comprehension among eighth-grade students in Indonesian junior high schools, where English is treated as a foreign language. Limited exposure and practice outside the classroom contribute to underwhelming reading proficiency. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach involving two English teachers and eighth-grade students. Data collection methods include observations, interviews, and documentation, while analysis is conducted using Miles and Hubberman’s interactive model. Findings reveal that teachers employ two primary strategies for teaching descriptive text comprehension: Think Aloud and Question Answer Relationships (QARs). The Think Aloud strategy involves guiding students to set reading purposes and make predictions during the pre-reading stage. During reading, students identify key information, resolve unfamiliar vocabulary, and make connections across texts. Post-reading activities include summarizing, evaluating comprehension through performance, and formative assessments. QARs strategy focuses on building background knowledge before reading. Teachers introduce four types of questions – Right There, Think and Search, Author and Me, and On My Own – to guide text interpretation during reading. Reflection and comprehension tests, such as worksheets, are conducted post-reading to assess learning outcomes. The study highlights the effectiveness of interactive and structured approaches in fostering deeper engagement and improving students’ reading comprehension abilities. These strategies offer practical insights for educators seeking to enhance reading proficiency through targeted interventions.

Abstract

The integration of the DeepL translation tool as a method to enhance students' writing skills in EFL classrooms holds great potential. Its capability to provide accurate, context-sensitive translations can aid students in expanding their vocabulary and understanding sentence structures. This study investigated the impact of using DeepL translation on EFL learners’ writing proficiency through an experimental approach. Two groups of senior high school students participated: an experimental group utilizing DeepL as a writing aid and a control group that did not. Both groups underwent pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Conducted during the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year, the quasi-experimental study involved 20 students as subjects. Data collection methods included tests focused on descriptive text writing and a questionnaire to gauge students’ responses. Instrument validity and reliability were verified, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the writing skills of students in both groups, indicating that while DeepL translation played a role in enhancing writing proficiency, other factors also contributed. Notably, the experimental group demonstrated a greater improvement compared to the control group, suggesting that DeepL translation provided a unique advantage. However, the results also highlighted the importance of combining digital tools like DeepL with effective teaching strategies to optimize learning outcomes. Overall, the study underscores the value of integrating technology in EFL classrooms while emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to writing instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates the enhancement of English writing assessments focusing on local cuisine as a thematic subject. A comprehension test was employed as a key instrument to measure students' progress and evaluate their understanding of the lessons delivered. Following the test administration, the teacher utilized appropriate assessment methods to ensure accurate evaluation. The primary objective of this research is to develop and refine writing assessments for English language learners, particularly within the context of local culinary topics. The study adopted a Research and Development (R&D) approach, structured into six distinct stages: (1) information and data collection, (2) data analysis, (3) development of new writing assessments, (4) expert validation, (5) revision of assessments, and (6) finalization of the validated tool. Data was gathered through interviews and questionnaires distributed to English teachers. Two evaluators—an English lecturer and an English instructor—provided critical validation of the assessment tools. The evaluation framework emphasized three core competencies: attitude, knowledge, and skill, incorporating a formative and authentic assessment approach. The writing tasks centered on topics such as local dishes, pastries, and beverages, integrating cultural elements into language learning. The assessment instruments underwent validation by two professionals, yielding an excellent classification score of 93%, indicating the reliability and effectiveness of the developed tools. The study underscores the significance of culturally relevant content in English language learning, fostering deeper engagement and contextual understanding among students. By integrating local cuisine into writing assessments, the research highlights the potential to enhance both linguistic competence and cultural awareness, promoting a more holistic educational experience.

Abstract

Many studies have investigated Task-Based Language Teaching(TBLT) in language learning, but studies on the implementation of TBLT assisted by Digital Media in the current era have been rarely conducted by scholars. This study is intended to investigate students' perception of the implementation of TBLT assisted by Google Classroom, focusing on their learning experiences, the challenges they face, and the benefits and effectiveness of TBLT. This explanatory sequential mixed method involved 60 students of the Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Study Programs at Eka Sakti University, Padang. The data of this study were gathered using a questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The quantitative data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed qualitatively using an interactive model. The results show that students’ perception of learning experiences, benefits, and effectiveness aspects were positive, while some students faced some challenges (e.g., task instruction, time allocation to do the tasks, internet connection, and work independently) in the challenge aspect in Indonesian language learning using TBLT assisted by Google Classroom. Although they faced some challenges, they overcame them by collaborating with their classmates in conducting institutions from the lecturer. Thus, it can be concluded that TBLT assisted by Google Classroom is effective in enhancing students’ Indonesian language skills and components, participation, learning interest, collaboration, and engagement. Thus, the TBLT approach integrated with Google Classroom is suggested to be employed by language instructors in teaching the Indonesian language course in Higher Education for non-Indonesian major students.

Abstract

Recently, the Indonesian public has been stirred by various comments regarding several videos showing religious activities at Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, which were considered deviating from religious teachings. These public comments sparked a response from the school's leader (PG), which was found to contain hate speech that was even more shocking. Therefore, this study aims to "uncover the types of hate speech found in PG's statements and critically analyze them through linguistic units as the means of delivery." This research employs a qualitative-quantitative approach and a descriptive-exploratory method, with the data object being PG's clarification statements during a Talk Show event.Based on the data analysis, the following results were obtained: First, six types of hate speech were identified in PG's statements, namely: (1) provocation (27%), (2) defamation (20%), (3) incitement (20%), (4) blasphemy (17%), (5) insult (15%), and (6) spreading fake news (1%). Second, the hate speech was conveyed through four types of linguistic units: (1) sentences (77%), (2) phrases (16%), (3) clauses (4%), and (4) words (3%). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the dominant form of hate speech expressed by PG is through the use of sentences. This type of speech is primarily aimed at defending and justifying his belief that the religious policies and activities at the Islamic Boarding School he leads do not violate religious teachings and do not harm other parties or institutions.

Abstract

Educational psychology course and the epistemic beliefs of prospective teachers play a role in forming a competent teacher. While there is substantial literature exploring teachers’ epistemic belief, its interplay with course studies by prospective English teacher remains unclear. This research provides a novel understanding on the interplay of epistemic beliefs with educational psychology course, and achievement of prospective English teacher by integrating an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. Using quantitative survey to collect GPA (Grade Average Points), epistemic beliefs and perception of educational psychology, this study involve 102 EFL students at Brawijaya University through convenience sampling. Descriptive statistical and correlation analysis conducted in the first stage reveal their epistemic was moderate and their perception was high, and only between their epistemic beliefs and perception was found a strong correlation. Through confirming or disconfirming sampling, representative from the first stage participated in qualitative phase for semi-structured interview, resulting in justification of their positive perception and confirmation of the interconnection with epistemic beliefs. Findings imply there is a need to comprise aspects of high epistemic beliefs to have a more positive educational psychology course, that encourage adequate developmental feedback, active learning environments, inclusive advocacy, and student self-efficacy.. The high interest in unlisted content in the current module implies the need for material relevance of the course. The implication is for EFL teacher education to reconsider the content in educational psychology with students’ epistemic beliefs in order to equip English education students to become effective teachers.

Abstract

Translanguaging offers potential significance in assisting EFL students’ engagement in L2 communication, making it valuable to investigate whether students’ perception of translanguaging correlates with their willingness to communicate in a second language. This mixed-methods study explores the relationship between students’ perception and L2 willingness to communicate in classroom communicative settings. 65 participants from two universities enrolled in an English education program participated in this study. The quantitative data were collected using 5-Likert scale questionnaires and qualitative data through in-depth interviews with subset participants. The quantitative data, including descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis, were formulated in SPSS 26. Meanwhile, the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that students’ perception of translanguaging correlates significantly and positively to their L2 WTC (r = .587). Based on the qualitative data, key themes related to the significance of translanguaging, such as facilitation of understanding, self-confidence improvement, reduced anxiety, and promotion of a positive classroom environment emerged as factors contributing to the students’ increased L2 WTC. These findings suggest that students’ perception of translanguaging influences their attitudes toward L2 communication, leading to a decreased or increased WTC level. Thus, translanguaging should be encouraged as an alternative strategy in L2 classrooms to enhance communication in EFL settings, particularly by maximizing L2 understanding and fostering an emotionally safe learning environment.
