Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore students' perceptions of the use of Character AI in improving English speaking skills and to identify the limitations or problems encountered by students when practicing speaking with this technology. This study used a qualitative descriptive method conducted in the English Education Study Program at the Prima Bangsa Institute in Cirebon. The participants were eighth-semester students who had used Character AI. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and speaking test. The results of the study show that students have a positive perception of the use of Character AI because it helps improve fluency, pronunciation, and confidence, while also providing more opportunities for practice. However, there are also problems such as technical issues, limited response accuracy, and a lack of natural communication nuances compared to direct interaction. In conclusion, this study confirms that Character AI has great potential as an innovative learning medium for improving speaking skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Audio-Lingual Repetition Drills (ALRD) in improving speaking and listening skills of EFL learners. A quantitative design was conducted with 60 vocational high school students in West Java, Indonesia, using speaking and listening tests along with questionnaires. Data were analyzed through IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The speaking test, assessed by an analytic rubric, recorded an average score of 79.53, while the listening test, consisting of 20 multiple-choice items, showed an average of 77.85. Both results fall into the “good” category, with improvements especially in fluency, pronunciation, and comprehension. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.691, p < 0.05) was found between speaking and listening, showing that improvement in one skill supported gains in the other. Students also indicated that repetition drills increased their confidence and focus. This study highlights the practical application of ALRD in English teaching, particularly in vocational schools, and provides new evidence of its integrated effect on both speaking and listening skills

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of learning motivation and the use of WordWall media on vocabulary enhancement among EFL learners. Conducted at SMPN 2 Jatiwangi and SMPN 2 Dawuan, the research involved 224 students who had experience using WordWall in English lessons. Employing a quantitative method with a survey design, data were collected through questionnaires and vocabulary tests. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows a value of 0.648, indicating that 64.8% of students’ vocabulary enhancement can be explained by the combined influence of learning motivation and WordWall media. The remaining 35.2% is influenced by other factors not covered in this study. These results suggest that while digital media like WordWall plays an important role in engaging students, intrinsic factors such as motivation remain the dominant contributor to vocabulary development. This highlights the importance of integrating psychological and technological aspects in EFL learning to foster more effective outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of English in the context of multilingual classrooms at BPK Plus Penabur Cirebon Junior High School. The focus of the study is on student interaction patterns, factors that influence the use of English, and the linguistic dynamics that are formed in the learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a mini-ethnographic design. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, categorization, and interpretation to find patterns of language use in classroom interactions. The results show that the use of English is influenced by students' linguistic backgrounds, social contexts, and teachers' pedagogical strategies. Translanguaging practices emerged as the dominant communication strategy that aided conceptual understanding and increased student participation. These findings are relevant for the development of English language learning strategies in multilingual environments, the formulation of school language policies, and the strengthening of EFL curricula. This study contributes new insights into understanding the practice of English language use at the junior high school level through a mini-ethnographic approach, which has rarely been used in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate senior high school English teachers’ TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) competencies in teaching writing and to examine their influence on students’ writing skills. This study employed a qualitative approach using interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis of students’ written works. The findings revealed that although teachers had no formal training in TPACK, they were able to integrate technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge into their instructional practices. Teachers utilized digital tools such as PowerPoint, Quizizz, Kahoot, and Wordwall, which not only facilitated content delivery but also enhanced student engagement, reinforced grammar and vocabulary, and supported text organization. The integration of these tools contributed to students’ improved confidence, the ability to produce more structured writing, and greater participation in writing activities. This study highlights that the principles of TPACK can naturally emerge from reflective teaching practices, although their sustainability and effectiveness would be strengthened by formal training, adequate school infrastructure, and access to relevant digital resources.
