Abstract

A great number of studies researching the incorporation of AI into English language teaching have grown significantly within the last five years. Nevertheless, to date, limited studies have been found to specifically review studies regarding AI integration in English language teaching. To fill the gap, this meta-synthesis study aims at presenting a summary of qualitative literature exploring how AI is integrated in English language teaching. Sixteen out of forty-seven articles were selected from various reputable databases as well as peer-reviewed journals (i.e., Scopus indexed) including Taylor & Francis, Science Direct, Wiley, Emerald, and ProQuest. Only qualitative data were processed and analysed thematically. Findings revealed some emerging themes: 1) student and teacher’s views towards AI integration in ELT, 2) benefits and drawbacks of AI integration in ELT, and 3) the role of AI for language skill improvement. In addition, the study shed light on several research topics recommended for further research.

Abstract

Writing an abstract in a research article is very important. The existence of abstract is compulsory in a research article. It is a research summary that must be attached and presented with the article. This study aims to identify moves and the most common pattern in RA abstracts in linguistic and language journals with different quartiles level. By using descriptive qualitative method, eighty RA abstracts of linguistic and language education journals with different quartile level were extracted from eight journals. The result finding; 1) Move 2 (Aim/Purpose) exists in seventy RA abstracts, Move 3 (Method) is present in sixty two RA abstracts, and Move 4 (Finding/Result) appears in Seventy Eight RA abstracts. In contrast, Move 1 (Introduction) is found in only 50 RA abstracts, and Move 5 (Conclusion) appears in 31 RA abstracts. 2) Q1 journal have the most frequent move, indicating a more comprehensive and detailed structure in their abstracts. In contrast, journals in lower quartiles, such as Q3 and Q4, often feature abstracts with fewer moves. As this study focuses only on the rhetorical move and pattern of RA abstract in field of linguistic and language journal with different quartile level, future research should conduct a comparative study and language features of the RA abstract in the field of across discipline with different quartile level.

Abstract

In the digital era, integrating technology into education is essential for preparing future-ready educators. This qualitative case study explores how pre-service teachers experience and implement digital tools in instructional settings. It focuses on their successes, challenges, and the pedagogical strategies they employ. Drawing on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and experiential learning theory, the study involved 15 pre-service teachers from a university in Semarang. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that pre-service teachers primarily used technology to manage classrooms and engage students—for example, using interactive platforms like Kahoot! to maintain attention and assess understanding in real time. These tools influenced student reactions and led teachers to adapt their instructional strategies dynamically. While digital tools were seen as effective for promoting engagement and understanding, participants faced challenges related to digital literacy, infrastructure limitations, and a lack of mentorship. Technology-based assessment and proactive engagement strategies were less frequently applied, highlighting a gap between theoretical training and classroom practice. The results suggest that teacher education programs should provide more hands-on, guided experiences, reflective practices, and institutional support to develop digital teaching competence. This study contributes to ongoing efforts to align teacher training with the realities of technology-enhanced learning environments
