Abstract

This study examined pre-service EFL teachers’ beliefs about reflective practice in the English language teacher education program using a life history study. The study involved seven pre-service EFL teachers taking their master’s program in English language teacher education at a private university in Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. The research used a life history study which is a qualitative research design. The research instruments were reflective essays containing the past and present experience dealing with reflective practice, and a life history interview. The findings highlighted more positive beliefs than negative ones. Positive beliefs considered reflective practice effective for increasing EFL pre-service teachers’ pedagogical competence, critical thinking, and professional development. The negative beliefs viewed RP as time- and energy-consuming and could be confusing without any focus on writing.  As the pedagogical implication, reflective should focus on a particular issue, be guided with practical guiding questions, not be rigorous about how often and how to do it, and provide some alternatives based on the need and conditions of the (pre-service) EFL teachers.

Technology integration in foreign language learning is a must today. One of the issues is the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot in English language teaching. Some studies have mentioned the benefits and advantages of using AI Chatbot. Nonetheless, none of the studies examines deeply on hoe ESP vocabulary. To fill the gaps, this study examines the effect of AI Chatbot especially Dialogflow enhanced the ESP vocabulary acquisition. The experimental comparison of two groups—an experience group and a control group—is the backbone of this study in order to accomplish that purpose. Both groups underwent pre-tests and post-tests to assess the effectiveness of utilizing AI chatbot in learning ESP vocabulary. The chatbot content was meticulously constructed to incorporate vocabulary features such as synonyms and concise explanations of word meanings. The study's findings revealed that utilizing chatbots significantly improves the acquisition of ESP vocabulary. It was found that students in the experimental group that used Dialogflow, a chatbot, performed better than students in the control group. To add, the study suggests that chatbots could be utilized in many situations to enhance language learning in general or in specific ESP courses. A chatbot provides a stimulating setting to facilitate positive interactions where the negotiation of meaning occurs explicitly, which appears to greatly benefit learners in advancing their second language lexical development.
