Abstract

This quantitative study investigated the impact of ChatGPT-assisted free writing on idea development in letter writing among seven 11th-grade students at SMA NAM IBS over six weeks. Using a single-group pre-test-post-test design, five assessments were conducted: a pre-test, three ChatGPT-assisted exercises, and a post-test. Descriptive statistics showed an increase in mean scores from pre-test (M = 78.43) to post-test (M = 86.00), indicating improvement. However, repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant difference (F(4, 24) = 1.43, p 0.05). This may have been due to small sample size, non-normal data, sphericity violations, and high within-subject variability. Despite the lack of statistical significance, the upward trend suggested potential benefits of ChatGPT. Further research with larger samples, improved rubrics, and adjusted statistical methods was suggested to validate ChatGPT’s effectiveness in enhancing idea development.Keywords: ChatGPT, Free Writing, Idea Development, Letter Writing

Abstract

This study investigates ChatGPT’s genre-sensitive translation behavior using Newmark’s translation theory. Three English texts from distinct genres, that are academic (3519 words), literary (4153 words), and news (1242 words) were selected and translated using ChatGPT. The analysis focuses on identifying the dominant translation methods and procedures applied by the model across genres. Findings reveal that ChatGPT employs Semantic translation predominantly in academic texts to preserve terminological accuracy and logical clarity, while Communicative translation is favored in literary and news texts to enhance fluency and readability. The analysis also highlights genre-specific procedures such as modulation, transposition, equivalence, and cultural substitution. While ChatGPT demonstrates adaptive strategies in handling different genres, it struggles with idiomatic expressions and culturally embedded metaphors, particularly in literary texts. The study underscores the model’s surface-level functional awareness but also its limitations in interpreting deeper pragmatic and cultural nuances. These findings offer insights into AI-assisted translation and suggest pedagogical implications for training future translators.

Abstract

This literature review explores the implementation of differentiated instruction within the context of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum. As a major reform in the national education system, the Merdeka Curriculum promotes student-centered learning, flexibility, and autonomy in teaching. Differentiated instruction aligns closely with these goals by responding to learners’ diverse needs, interests, and readiness levels. The review synthesizes findings from national and international research to evaluate how differentiation is conceptualized, practiced, and challenged in real school settings. Key findings reveal that differentiated learning enhances student engagement, supports inclusive education, and improves academic outcomes when implemented effectively. However, it also uncovers several barriers, such as limited teacher preparedness, lack of professional development, and insufficient classroom resources. Many educators express a positive attitude toward differentiation but often struggle with its practical application due to workload, large class sizes, and curriculum constraints. The review emphasizes the need for systemic support, ongoing training, and reflective practices to ensure successful implementation. It also highlights the importance of policy alignment and school-level collaboration to cultivate a culture of differentiation. In conclusion, differentiated instruction is not just a pedagogical choice but a fundamental element in realizing the vision of Merdeka Curriculum—learning that is equitable, contextual, and meaningful for every student.

Abstract

This study explores English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perspective on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English language classrooms in Thailand. With the rise of AI-powered tools such as QuillBot, education is undergoing a transformation that promises personalized learning, improved student engagement, and enhanced language skills. Through qualitative methods, including open-ended questionnaires administered to two EFL teachers at Sri Aman Suska School No. 54, the research reveals generally positive perceptions of AI's potential in supporting instruction. Teachers reported that AI facilitated writing tasks, boosted student confidence, and supported personalized learning. However, challenges such as limited digital access, student overreliance, and lack of formal training were also identified. Despite these concerns, both educators emphasized the importance of balancing technology with human interaction, promoting ethical use, and encouraging critical thinking. The findings suggest that while AI holds significant promise for EFL education, its implementation must be carefully managed through teacher support, infrastructure development, and pedagogically sound integration strategies.

Abstract

Discourses asserting peer assessment on English learning process particularly regarding its either effectiveness or downfalls as an alternative evaluation method for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners have been disseminated. However, doubts on the lack of peer assessment’s capacity as an evaluating tool remains to need more validation by a study examining its reliability in a wider learning context to ensure if the method could be as reliable as teacher’s grading leading to a theory that peer assessment can serve for reducing teacher’s load especially for big classes. In that connection, this study aims to examine the reliability of peer assessment for a big class of first-year non-native English speaking university students majoring in software engineering but already passing English grammar and vocabulary for composing short text genres in their earlier semester. Methods used for collecting and analyzing the data were Wilcoxon reliability and Bivariate Pearson Correlation tests to compare students’ peer assessment and lecturer grading on narrative texts written by 56 software engineering students. The finding shows peer assessment as a tool for evaluating students’ writing quality has been in low reliability indicated from the incompatibility between the students’ peer assessment quality and the lecturer’s grading result. This study contributes to present evidence that peer assessment should be out of consideration as an instrument for evaluating the writing produced by non-native English speaking students despite their passing subjects expected to have enabled them to compose a narrative writing. The conclusion is peer assessment is weak in effect on relieving teacher’s assessment load in a big writing class of English for Foreign Learning (EFL) students in spite of their English grammar and vocabulary acquisition at a certain level, though the method might serve for giving non-grading related advantages such as promoting students’ metacognition.
