The present study aims to explore EFL teachers"™ perspectives on students"™ learning needs of critical writing course in university setting. Drawing on exploratory qualitative research, this study invites eight EFL teachers teaching critical writing course at some universities in Surakarta municipality, Indonesia. The required data are elicited using semi-structured interviews to reach in-depth understanding about the research issue. The findings yield a number of issues conveyed by the EFL teachers related to students"™ learning needs of critical writing. First, teaching critical writing plays a crucial role in shaping students"™ profile toward the twenty-first century skills. Second, a learning model of critical writing instruction, including the syllabus and plannings, learning technique and media, instructional materials, and assessment model, must be developed. As the pedagogical implication, ELT practitioners and policy makers can use this study"™s findings as references in taking policy related to teaching critical writing in university setting.

Abstract

Presented as a technological innovation set to usher in significant changes globally, artificial intelligence (AI) enters various segments of life, especially in the field of education. Civil engineering students, as part of their learning journey, try to apply it in class, especially in aspects of engineering English vocabulary. In the current study, students used the English Language Speech Assistant (ELSA) application. The research method used was descriptive research, where the research subjects were taken from 1 class of 29 students. In this study the questionnaires were used as instruments to collect research data. Based on the results of survey analysis and data collected, it was revealed that students had very good and positive perceptions of using the ELSA application. Students exhibit great joy and enthusiasm in learning engineering English vocabulary using the ELSA application. In addition to offering an effective means of pronouncing vocabulary words, this application's feedback also serves as a motivational factor to learn engineering English vocabulary. Thus, the student's positive perspective on this application of AI can be an indicator of the success of students' language learning in the future.

To improve reading comprehension, educators could employ the Bumper Sticker strategy, using color-coded lists to help students grasp the text's main ideas. This study reports the effectiveness of the bumper sticker reading strategy in fostering students' reading interests. The quasi-experimental study comprised two groups of seventh-grade students, each consisting of 40 students. Data were gathered through a reading interest questionnaire and a multiple-choice reading comprehension test. Results reveal that the Bumper Sticker strategy effectively enhances reading comprehension aligned with students' interests. Notably, the conventional strategy also improves comprehension in alignment with students' interests. Lastly, the Bumper Sticker strategy is particularly effective for highly interested students.
