Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the role of the AI-powered writing assistant QuillBot in enhancing the writing skills of secondary-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Indonesia. Twenty participants engaged with QuillBot over an eight-week period during writing assignments. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysis of pre- and post-intervention writing samples. The findings indicate that QuillBot contributed significantly to improvements in grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary usage. Non-native English speakers, in particular, demonstrated notable gains in mechanical accuracy and lexical variety. However, the tool's limitations became apparent in areas requiring higher-order thinking, such as content development, coherence, and creativity. A subset of students expressed concern about over-reliance on the tool, reporting decreased confidence when writing independently and a perceived loss of personal voice in their work. Engagement was initially high but declined over time, suggesting the novelty of AI feedback may diminish without sustained pedagogical scaffolding. The study highlights the dual potential of AI writing tools to support surface-level writing improvements while risking dependence and reduced autonomy. Implications include the need for balanced instructional approaches that combine AI feedback with human guidance to preserve critical thinking and authorial identity. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies and hybrid models integrating teacher- and AI-mediated feedback.

Abstract

While the role of code-switching in multilingual classrooms has been widely examined in previous studies, particularly in general educational settings, only a limited number of investigations have focused on its application to pesantren settings teaching religious and secular subjects concurrently. This study investigates the use of code-switching in English teaching at a pesantren or Islamic boarding school in East Ciputat. The research found that code-switching is strategically used to explain vocabulary, check understanding, summarize lessons, and provide feedback. It was found that during complex content delivery and reflective activities, code-switching was more frequent, simplifying challenging material. Students generally showed positive reactions, but occasional confusion was observed. The study also found that other teaching styles, such as group discussions and multimedia use, further complemented code-switching. The study suggests that while code-switching enhances comprehension, teachers must strike a balance to avoid over-reliance on the native language, promoting more immersive English language learning. It calls for continued professional development for teachers in multilingual environments to optimize code-switching strategies and support students' language proficiency growth.

Abstract

This study investigates the structure and characteristics of speech events in two distinct communicative contexts using Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model: the Indonesian adaptation of the film Miracle in Cell No. 7 and an online legal discussion hosted on Sahabat ICW’s YouTube channel. The research applies qualitative content analysis to identify and compare the elements of Setting, Participants, Ends, Act Sequence, Key, Instrumentalities, Norms, and Genre across both sources. In total, the film provided 129 communication segments with complex emotional and narrative elements, whereas the YouTube discussion reflected a more structured and formal discourse with 11 primary communication goals and four active participants. Findings indicate that while both contexts employ the same communicative components, their application varies significantly based on purpose, medium, and audience. The film emphasizes emotional expression and moral storytelling, illustrating themes of injustice, empathy, and human dignity through a diverse range of speech acts and multimodal cues. In contrast, the online discussion focuses on civic education and legal advocacy, employing a formal tone and structured interaction within a virtual public sphere. The study concludes that Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING model remains a robust framework for analyzing discourse in both fictional and real-time digital settings, offering critical insights into the cultural, emotional, and social dimensions of communication.

Abstract

A literary work of art has the power to directly influence people's thoughts simply by reading a single poem, such as William Blake's "Poison Tree. " The main focus of this study is to explore how any kind of poetry can offer people a way of life, moral education, and new experiences. This research is qualitative in nature and uses content analysis to examine William Blake's poem "Poison Tree. " Hermeneutics, which is often used in literary studies, is regarded as one of the oldest scientific methods and has roots dating back to the time of Plato. This study centers on interpreting the poem to identify the moral values it conveys, using transcendental hermeneutics in the context of the society 5. 0 era, and to explore the types of character education that can be gained. The findings reveal that 'Mujahadah' refers to a struggle against one's passions and the devil, involving a serious effort to overcome these inner conflicts. As stated in a hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, a truly strong person is not one who is physically powerful, but someone who can control their desires even when angry. In the era of disruption brought about by the industrial revolution, transitioning towards society 5. 0, literary works like poetry through the use of internet information technology (IoT) and services (IoS), combined with persuasive spiritual cleansing, light, and wise character education.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation and impact of Qur’anic recitation completion (khatam Al-Qur’an) activities as a medium for character development among students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI), Makassar. The research is guided by three primary questions: (1) What is the structure of the khatam Al-Qur’an program in the context of student character formation? (2) What character values are cultivated through this activity? and (3) How effective is the implementation of the khatam Al-Qur’an program within the faculty environment? The objective is to analyze the implementation process, identify the character values fostered, and assess the program’s effectiveness in integrating spiritual and professional development among medical students. The activity is held regularly during the holy month of Ramadan and is positioned as a strategic initiative for character education grounded in Islamic spiritual values. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires administered to participating students and program facilitators. The results reveal that the program is systematically implemented in both online and offline formats through two main modalities: (1) One Day One Juz (ODOJ), conducted individually, and (2) collective qira’ah sessions, carried out in turns via virtual platforms or face-to-face gatherings. These formats effectively instill core character values such as religiosity, honesty, discipline, responsibility, and inner peace. Students reported that participation in the program significantly enhanced their spiritual well-being, boosted academic motivation, and shaped a strong foundation for ethical professionalism in the medical field. The present study sheds light on the khatam Al-Qur’an program conducted during Ramadan which serves as an effective and integrative tool for character development, bridging spiritual enrichment with academic and professional ethics. The model demonstrates strong potential to be adapted as a sustainable character-building initiative within higher education institutions rooted in Islamic values.

Abstract

This study explores the perception of an English teacher regarding the use of reinforcement and its impact on student engagement in English language learning. Conducted at SMPN 40 Makassar, the research utilized a qualitative descriptive approach to investigate how the teacher views reinforcement as a tool to support behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. The primary data were gathered through an in-depth interview with one male eighth-grade English teacher and supplemented by six classroom observations conducted over a three-week period. The findings revealed that the teacher perceives reinforcement not merely as a classroom management technique but as a powerful pedagogical strategy to stimulate motivation, reduce learning anxiety, and foster students’ sense of belonging and competence in the English classroom. Verbal reinforcement, such as praise and addressing students by name, and non-verbal reinforcement, such as smiling, gestures, and eye contact, were consistently applied throughout the observed lessons. The teacher also emphasized the importance of applying reinforcement equitably and intentionally, tailoring it to the diverse personalities and needs of students. These insights align with the theoretical frameworks of Skinner, Bandura, Deci & Ryan, and Fredricks et al. Reinforcement, as perceived and practiced by the teacher, plays a significant role in enhancing student engagement and creating an inclusive, supportive learning environment.
