Abstract

Many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing story sequences, and applying appropriate language features. This problem was also identified among eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Metro, where students’ writing performance was relatively low due to the use of conventional teaching methods and limited visual learning media. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using image sequence media in improving students’ narrative writing ability. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants consisted of 28 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through writing tests and documentation, and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample T-Test. The results revealed that the mean pretest score of 40.07 significantly increased to 79.75 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). These findings indicate that the use of image sequence media has a significant positive effect on students’ narrative writing ability. The study demonstrates that image sequence media effectively assists students in developing ideas, organizing storylines, and improving the overall quality of their writing. Therefore, it can be concluded that image sequence media is an effective instructional strategy for teaching narrative writing at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study is to investigates students’ perceptions and experiences of using Twitter as a social media platforms for learning English, with ta focus on the development of reading and speaking skills, vocabulary enrichment, and grammatical awareness. The study employed a qualitative case study design involving students from various semesters in the English Department. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that students have positive perceptions of using Twitter for English learning. They reported that Twitter facilitates access to authentic English content, supports vocabulary development, encourages interaction with other users, and contributes to the improvement of overall English language skills. However, the study also identifies several challenges experienced by students, including difficulties in understanding unfamiliar slang and complex expressions, limited feedback on language use, confusion in navigating certain features, exposure to unscreened content, and issues related to mispronunciation. These findings indicate that Twitter can serve as a supportive tool for English language learning. However, appropriate guidance and critical use are necessary to maximize its benefits and minimize potential challenges.

Abstract

This study explored EFL university lecturers’ perceptions of generative AI in relation to critical thinking, focusing on perceived opportunities, acceptable-use boundaries, and assessment dilemmas at the University of Zawia, Libya. A mixed-methods descriptive design was used, combining a questionnaire (N = 70) and semi-structured interviews (n = 10). Survey results showed moderate endorsement of AI opportunities for supporting critical thinking (M = 3.93, SD = 1.08), especially for language and comprehension support (M = 4.23, SD = 0.97) and higher-order question generation (M = 4.03, SD = 1.05). However, lecturers strongly emphasized boundaries for acceptable AI use (M = 4.42, SD = 0.89), particularly the need for an institutional policy (M = 4.60, SD = 0.73) and disclosure of AI use (M = 4.49, SD = 0.86). Assessment dilemmas were high (M = 4.17, SD = 0.98), with strongest concern about plagiarism/patchwriting risks (M = 4.40, SD = 0.84) and difficulty judging students’ own critical thinking (M = 4.24, SD = 0.97). Interview findings reinforced a “benefit–boundary tension,” highlighting preference for assessment redesign (in-class writing, oral defense, and process portfolios) over detection-based policing. The study recommends regulated-use guidance, staff training, and student integrity support.
