Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VoiceSpice as a language-learning tool, focusing on its usability, advantages, limitations, and overall impact on students' speaking practice by the students’ perceptions. Moreover, much of the current literature focuses on quantitative measures or general outcomes, leaving a gap in understanding students' personal experiences and challenges with recording technology. Without exploring these individual perspectives, it is difficult to address the barriers that may prevent students from fully leveraging these tools for reflective and autonomous learning. The sample in this study consisted of 15 EFL students who studied English at Universitas Aisyah Pringsewu. Data was collected through observation to get a direct picture of the learning activities carried out, then questionnaires were given to all students and to get more in-depth information, after that doing interview were conducted with 15 students. The survey and feedback results indicate that voice recording has proven to be a useful tool for supporting speaking practice in language learning, with user feedback indicating ease of use, convenience, and support for speaking skill development. The conclusion of VoiceSpice has demonstrated its utility in supporting speaking practice, with users praising its ease of use, convenience, and positive impact on speaking skills. While effective for basic language practice, limitations such as unstable sound quality and the absence of advanced features, including pronunciation checking, were noted. This study suggests that improvements in audio quality and the addition of accuracy-checking features could enhance its effectiveness and usability

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the Indonesian dialect used in Londo Kampung’s videos on viewers’ language attitudes, highlighting the interaction between local dialects and English in digital media. The urgency of this research lies in understanding how local linguistic identities adapt and persist in English-dominated communication contexts, an issue increasingly relevant in the globalized era. Using a qualitative research design, this study analyzes linguistic features in selected videos through Howard Giles’s Communication Accommodation Theory, focusing on how vocabulary and pronunciation are tailored to diverse audiences. The analysis reveals a pattern of convergence, where speakers adjust their language to align with interlocutors, fostering mutual understanding and enhancing audience engagement. These findings contribute to sociolinguistics by demonstrating how local dialects can thrive in global contexts while influencing perceptions of identity and language attitudes. Furthermore, this study provides a foundation for future research on multilingual interactions in digital media and the preservation of local languages in the face of globalization

The findings reveal that visual learning styles are the most dominant, with students demonstrating a strong preference for visual aids such as diagrams, videos, and PowerPoint presentations to enhance comprehension. Auditory learners, the second largest group, benefit from verbal explanations and group discussions, while a smaller number of kinesthetic learners excel in activity-based learning, such as practice and simulations.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) has significantly transformed teaching methodologies and enhanced learning experiences. This study explores AI’s role in ELT, focusing on current trends, challenges, and pedagogical implications through a systematic literature review. The data sources used was academic journal, book references and international journals. While the data collection method comprised document analysis and the data analysis technique employed Miles & Huberman Model 1994. The key findings reveal that AI promotes adaptive and interactive learning environments, motivating students and reducing language learning anxiety. However, challenges remain, including ethical concerns such as data privacy, potential over-reliance on AI, and its inability to replicate human emotional understanding and creativity. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for teacher professional development to ensure the effective and ethical use of AI in classrooms. AI’s pedagogical implications include fostering personalized learning experiences, enhancing learning outcomes, and enabling efficient assessments. Although AI offers numerous benefits, its integration in ELT should be balanced, considering the ethical and emotional aspects of education

Abstract

Engaging in casual conversation is essential for EFL learners, as it enhances fluency, boosts confidence, and provides authentic language practice. However, Indonesian learners often face challenges in managing spontaneous interactions effectively, leading them to employ various strategies to manage communication breakdowns. This study aims to explore the communication strategies used by Indonesian EFL learners and examine the factors influencing their strategic choices. This study involved third-semester English education students and adopted a descriptive qualitative method with conversational analysis. Data were collected through audio-video recordings and interviews and analyzed based on Celce-Murcia et al.’s (1995) framework of communication strategies. The findings reveal that learners utilized all five main types and fourteen sub-types of communication strategies. Stalling or time-gaining strategies are the most frequently used, followed by achievement strategies or compensatory strategies, interactional strategies, self-monitoring strategies, and avoidance or reduction strategies. The frequent sub-types employed include fillers, hesitation devices, and gambits; self and other repetition; code-switching; and meaning negotiation strategies. Conversely, strategies such as message replacement, topic avoidance, all-purpose words, word coinage, and foreignizing were not employed. In addition, learners’ strategic choices were influenced by factors such as limited vocabulary and language proficiency, cognitive processing needs, the desire to convey meaning, efforts to ensure mutual understanding, self-awareness of errors, and topic complexity. Finally, this study offers some pedagogical implications for the betterment of EFL teaching and learning
