Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the need for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning materials for students in the Department of Radio Diagnostic Engineering and Radiotherapy (ATRO) at Muhammadiyah Makassar. A needs analysis was conducted to ensure students receive materials that support their learning and career development, using a qualitative approach and descriptive strategy. The research subjects were second-semester students in class B21 and their experienced ESP lecturer, selected through purposive random sampling. Data collection involved observation, recording, questionnaires, and interviews. Key findings from the questionnaire included: 83.3% satisfaction with current ESP materials, 77.8% of students needing English related to Radiology, 55.6% with intermediate English proficiency, and 66.7% aiming to improve their English for professional purposes. Skills priorities were speaking (66.7%), listening (61.1%), reading (33.3%), and writing (33.3%). Effective speaking skills instruction is achieved by dividing the large class into three groups. These findings suggest ESP lecturers and stakeholders should develop lesson plans and teaching media aligned with these needs. Additionally, the ESP lecturer identified Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions and Radiological Procedures as a key resource for material development.

Abstract

YouTube is a well-known platform that everyone can use in every context, including the educational field. Despite the enormous benefit of YouTube usage in the learning context, only a little has been discussed about how YouTube can be used in developing students' autonomous skills. This current research aims to explore students' perceptions of the role of YouTube videos in developing students' autonomous learning and English language skills. This research was examined using a qualitative design and a type of data collection using a closed-ended questionnaire distributed to students in the form of a Google Form. The research subjects include 11 students of 5th-semester English education majors at State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta who utilize YouTube to study English outside of class. Findings showed that YouTube is effective in developing autonomous learning skills. Furthermore, a major number of students specifically identified listening and vocabulary skills as areas where YouTube may help their autonomous learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims to find out how teachers implement the concept of gamification with the Gimkit platform and students' experiences of using the Gimkit platform as a formative assessment tool in English language learning. This research was conducted in a high school in Madiun, Indonesia. The research started from a case study where the researcher found that many students did not want to participate in formative assessment activities because they thought that the atmosphere during formative assessment with traditional methods would only make students afraid and unable to focus on the questions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 students and 1 English teacher to collect data, and the data obtained was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of this study show that teachers have several reasons related to the use of Gimkit, the first is because of technological advances, and the utilisation of facilities, teachers also provide information related to how to implement the Gimkit platform from the initial stage to the assessment stage, teachers also tell how students react when implementing formative assessment using Gimkit which has a positive impact because students become more interested in the activity, feel relaxed when working, and students can learn new English vocabulary from Gimkit., the use of Gimkit was also considered easy by students both in terms of preparation and use during formative assessment, the use of Gimkit also had a positive influence on students because students felt that when using Gimkit they experienced increased motivation and gained new knowledge.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of peer-Dynamic Assessment (peer-DA) on the development of interlanguage pragmatic (ILP) competence among Indonesian EFL learners. While pragmatic competence is crucial for appropriate language use, systematic assessment approaches remain limited in the Indonesian EFL context, particularly regarding the integration of instruction and assessment. Through a true experimental design, 43 upper-intermediate EFL learners were randomly assigned to experimental (n=22) and control (n=21) groups. The experimental group received peer-DA instruction emphasizing collaborative scaffolding and reciprocal mediation, while the control group received traditional non-DA instruction. Data collection utilized the Key English Test (KET) for homogenization and dual multiple-choice ILP assessments for pre-and post-testing. Statistical analysis through independent samples t-tests revealed no significant differences between groups in pre-test scores (t(35)=2.92, p>.05). However, post-test results demonstrated significantly higher ILP competence in the experimental group (M=14.79, SD=3.14) compared to the control group (M=8.11, SD=2.78; t(35)=4.47, p<.05). These findings suggest that peer-DA effectively enhances Indonesian EFL learners' pragmatic competence, offering valuable implications for integrating assessment and instruction in EFL pragmatic development.

Abstract

This study investigates using co-creation strategies and AI tools to improve translation skills among English Education students at STAIN Mandailing Natal. Sixty students shared their experiences with Peer Review, Collaborative Translation Projects, and Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) Tools. The feedback highlighted areas for effective AI integration. Consequently, researchers proposed using AI for real-time feedback in Peer Review sessions, facilitating communication in collaborative projects with AI project management tools, and enhancing predictive text features in CAT Tools using advanced machine learning. After several months of implementing these methods, a post-test showed significant improvements: accuracy rose by 20%, fluency by 15%, and appropriateness scores by 18%. Confidence levels also increased across all translation aspects. The study shows that integrating AI within co-creation strategies enhances both hard skills (translation abilities) and soft skills (teamwork & confidence), improving overall learning outcomes.
