Abstract

This research investigates the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in English classes. Adopting a qualitative study approach, data were meticulously collected through in-depth interviews with English teachers, classroom observations, and the analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal that AI holds significant promise for enhancing the learning experience, primarily through personalized material, automatic feedback, and enriched engagement for students. Moreover, AI tools like chatbots and translation software can aid learners in developing their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills independently. However, the research also identified several challenges, including inadequate technological infrastructure, insufficient digital literacy among educators, and critical concerns regarding the ethics and privacy of student data. The study concludes that for AI to be successfully integrated into English classes, comprehensive training for teachers, supportive policies, and a tailored technological approach that addresses local needs are essential. Ultimately, when these challenges are strategically addressed, AI has the potential to serve as a catalyst for more effective and inclusive English learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Character.ai (C.ai) on speaking self-confidence among Indonesian EFL learners in secondary school setting. Despite English’s global importance, EFL learners often struggle with speaking due to linguistic barriers (e.g., grammar, pronunciation) and psychological barriers (e.g., anxiety, low confidence). Leveraging AI’s potential, this quantitative study employs a pre-experimental one-shot case study design to evaluate Character.ai ‘s effectiveness. Data were collected from 37 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 01 Gunung Putri, Bogor, through post-tests assessing speaking skills (fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, comprehension) and self-confidence (ability, assurance, engagement). The results revealed 41% students achieved of “Very Good” category, 43% students achieved of “Good” category, 11% students achieved of “Adequate” category. Statistical analysis (one-sample t -test, t (36) = 2.121, p = 0.041) confirmed a significant improvement in speaking confidence. However, challenges such as classroom noise and low-quality smartphone speakers affected the experience. While C.ai offers real-time feedback and personalized learning without teacher guidance, students’ confidence may also be influenced by other external factors. Thus, the findings highlight both the potential and limitations of using AI-based tools in language learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate Cilacap State Polytechnic students' readiness for the EPT-P and determine the obstacles they encounter as well as the strategies they employ to pass the test. This research used a mixed-methods case study design. To collect data, it used test and questionnaires which refer to the theory of Self-Regulated Learning, Test Taking Strategy, TAM and study of interlanguage. Analysis was based on Likert scale responses. It involved 60 final-year students of Cilacap State Polytechnic in the academic year of 2021/2022 from different study programmes. The study found that students at the State Polytechnic of Cilacap had a general lack of English competence, with just 25 out of 60 (41%) scoring over the 400 EPT-P pass score. Key issues were linguistic difficulties 37 students (62%) struggled with long reading texts, 41 (68%) struggled with essay writing, and 40 (67%) had difficulty listening, with 17 (28%) strongly agreeing. Psychological challenges were particularly significant: 28 students (47%) reported anxiety, while 44 (73%) reported losing focus. Technological and resource challenges were prominent, with 40 students (67%) lacking preparation materials and 55 (92%) never having had official instruction. Furthermore, 33 students (55%) considered the listening equipment unclear, and 54 (90%) thought the test was overpriced. Only 16 students (27%) prepared mentally and physically, while only 9 (15%) took classes. These findings, which were backed by many language learning and educational theories, emphasise the importance of economical training, easily accessible materials, and personalised coaching in improving student performance.

Abstract

This study explores the challenges and solutions in implementing the Jigsaw technique to improve reading comprehension among junior high school students through collaborative learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, student questionnaires, and field notes. The participants were purposively selected from a class identified as having significant difficulties in reading comprehension. The findings revealed that while the Jigsaw technique encouraged student engagement, motivation, and peer collaboration, its implementation was not without obstacles. Challenges included disparities in student participation, time constraints, uneven role distribution, and external factors such as socioeconomic differences. These issues often influenced students’ readiness and confidence during group activities. To address them, teachers employed strategies such as scaffolding materials, rotational role assignments, the use of multimedia tools, and adaptive pacing. Student feedback also highlighted the importance of pre-teaching key vocabulary, clear role expectations, and supportive group dynamics. The study concludes that the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique depends on thoughtful instructional design, sensitivity to learner diversity, and continuous teacher reflection. When applied adaptively, it not only enhances reading comprehension but also supports a more inclusive and student-centered learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges and strategies experienced by EFL pre-service teachers in implementing Kurikulum Merdeka during their teaching practicum, particularly in rural elementary schools in Landak Regency, Indonesia. The research was conducted in five rural elementary schools involving ten EFL pre-service teachers who were actively engaged in their practicum under the Kurikulum Merdeka framework. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret the qualitative data and identify recurring challenges and strategies. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers encountered several major challenges, including limited teaching resources and infrastructure, difficulties adapting to student-centered approaches, and struggles in designing flexible and authentic assessments aligned with the curriculum's principles. Despite these obstacles, the participants employed various strategies, including attending workshops on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), collaborating with senior teachers, and seeking additional learning resources independently. These strategies helped them adapt their teaching practices and improve their readiness to implement the curriculum. The study highlights the importance of institutional support, professional development, and mentorship in ensuring the successful implementation of Kurikulum Merdeka by pre-service teachers. It concludes that addressing these challenges is crucial for preparing competent English language educators and recommends further research into long-term impacts of curriculum implementation on teacher identity and student outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the pedagogic visual images used in the English in Focus textbook for Grade VII junior high school students and to assist teachers in critically evaluating the textbooks they utilize. The primary goal is to examine how visual images are incorporated into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks to support systematic knowledge acquisition, enhance learner motivation, and facilitate engagement and language proficiency development. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, analyzing selected visual and verbal elements in the textbook. The instruments used include a checklist for verbal analysis based on Eggins (2004) and a framework for visual analysis derived from Van Leeuwen (2006). The data consist of 80 images, analyzed to identify representations of ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions. The findings show that the textbook effectively combines verbal and visual modes. Verbal elements emphasize relational processes to deliver clear information, declarative statements for interaction, and multiple themes for varied ideas. Visual elements rely on narrative processes, indirect gaze, long-shot perspectives, and left-right information distribution for coherence. These results underline the importance of visual literacy in EFL classes and well-designed textbooks. The English in Focus textbook meets its objectives with an organized layout and clear content, promoting learner engagement and enabling consistent evaluation across grades.

Abstract

Multilingual identity awareness refers to the ability to recognize and navigate multiple language and cultural identities. Multilingual identity awareness is also closely related to differentiated learning that is in accordance with what students need. Therefore, it is very important to know what factors can influence multilingual identity awareness in learning English as a foreign language. The purpose of this study was to explore what factors can influence multilingual identity awareness in learning English as a foreign language. Data collection uses semi-structured interview and the data analysis used thematic analysis. Based on the results of data analysis, researchers found that there are several factors that can influence multilingual identity awareness in learning English as a foreign language, including educational factors, course assignments, environment, family factors, loves into language, language use, personal challenges and achievements, cultural beliefs and learners’ beliefs. The themes that include these factors include: (1) Experience; (2) Social Factors; (3) Learners’ Attitude Towards Language. Therefore, researchers conclude that in the context of multilingual identity awareness, the above factors can appear in someone who is learning English as a foreign language. The implication of this study is to provide references and knowledge for students who are studying English as a foreign language that multilingual identity is an asset, not an obstacle. For further research, it is recommended to conduct research with wider and more diverse participants, more critical data analysis and wider participant diversity.
