Abstract

This literature review investigates how Virtual Reality (VR) is implemented and how it impacts learning in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). With the advancement of immersive technologies, Virtual Reality (VR) has become a promising tool to foster language learning by providing engaging, authentic and interactive environments. This review scrutinizes research studied in 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 that explores the utilizing of VR in boosting different language skills, including listening, speaking and writing. The findings indicate that immersive technologies such as VR, AR, and AI significantly enhance EFL learners’ language proficiency, critical thinking, motivation, and transferable 21st-century skills. Yet, the review also points out several challenges, such as limited resources, large class sizes, insufficient institutional support, teachers’ low TPACK, short VR exposure time, lack of scaffolding, low realism and interactivity in VR content, occurrences of cybersickness, and the limited scope of studies. Future research should adopt rigorous experimental designs, explore underrepresented language skills, examine affective and contextual factors, and prioritize teacher professional development to ensure effective, inclusive, and sustainable integration of immersive VR in EFL instruction.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching represents a significant shift in the evolution of contemporary literacy education. While AI has been extensively researched in speaking and writing, its pedagogical application in reading instruction remains relatively under-researched. This systematic literature review was conducted by synthesizing empirical research published in 2025, 2024 and 2023 that investigated the use of AI-based tools and platforms in EFL reading contexts. Based on a collection of journal articles that have been reviewed, the results of the review include pedagogical implementation of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction, current developments in the use of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction, empirical findings from previous studies, research gaps, practical and theoretical directions for the use of artificial intelligence in EFL reading instruction and recommendations for future research. The findings are that AI helps to improve students' reading motivation, learner engagement, reading performance, learner autonomy, cognitive and emotional engagement, task performance, inferencing skills and self-regulated learning. Undoubtedly, there are many things that need to be considered in the use of AI, such as technological accessibility, individual learner differences, ethical concerns and teacher preparedness. Then, the results of the analysis of previous research recommend the need for teacher training, important implications for learning design, and future research directions that view AI as a transformational catalyst in EFL reading education.

Abstract

This study analyzes the framing transformation carried out by Denny Siregar as a political influencer on Indonesian social media during the period of 2014–2024. Using a qualitative approach with a constructivist paradigm and Robert Entman's framing analysis model, this research explores how Denny Siregar went through three significant transformation phases: the Ahok supporter phase (2014–2017), the Jokowi supporter phase (2014–2022), and the Jokowi critic phase (2022–2024). Data were collected through social media content analysis on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, as well as secondary document analysis. The findings show that the framing transformation was influenced by political, economic, social media technology factors, and audience dynamics. In the Ahok supporter phase, the framing focused on bureaucratic reform and anti-corruption narratives using good personification strategies and moral polarization. The Jokowi supporter phase featured narratives of infrastructure development and counter-framing against opposition using selective data. The Jokowi critic phase employed betrayal narratives and historical reframing with value consistency positioning. This transformation impacted follower composition changes of up to 30% and a decline in engagement of up to 40%, while increasing discussion polarization. This research contributes to the development of framing theory by adding temporal and dynamic dimensions in social media contexts and offers practical insights into digital political communication strategies and their implications for Indonesian democracy.

Abstract

This study analyzes errors in the use of Indonesian spelling in short story texts written by eleventh-grade students at SMA Nurul Ibrahimi. Common errors include the incorrect use of capital letters and punctuation that do not align with the General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling (PUEBI). The causes of these errors include a limited understanding of spelling rules, the influence of informal language, and a lack of writing practice. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with primary data consisting of students’ short story texts and secondary data from relevant literature. The results show frequent errors in the use of capital letters at the beginning of sentences, in names, and in place names. Punctuation errors often involve the use of commas, periods, and quotation marks. The study recommends practice-based learning to improve students’ skills in using correct spelling.

Abstract

This study explores the language learning factors: challenges and opportunities in the acquisition of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) among junior high school learners in Lampung, Indonesia. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, it involved 120 eighth-grade students from three public schools and utilized proficiency assessments, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers. Quantitative results indicated moderate proficiency, with significant weaknesses in speaking fluency and listening comprehension. Meanwhile, qualitative data revealed that grammar-focused instruction, limited English exposure, and learner anxiety were key obstacles to effective acquisition. Thematic analysis identified three major issues: the predominance of traditional teaching methods, low student confidence in communicative tasks, and limited engagement with English-language media. These findings underscore the need for more communicative and enriching classroom practices and learner-centered approaches. The study offers context-specific pedagogical recommendations and highlights directions for future research in similar EFL settings.

Abstract

Integrating critical thinking (CT) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction presents ongoing challenges, particularly in non-Western academic settings such as Indonesia. Therefore, this study investigates using CT-oriented learning logs to improve academic writing performance among EFL university students at STKIP PGRI Lampung. The research aimed to enhance students’ ability to develop coherent arguments and express reasoned perspectives in writing. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study involved 35 second-semester students who participated in a 14-week intervention that combined opinion writing, summary tasks, and reflective responses. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests assessed using holistic and analytical rubrics, while qualitative data were derived from thematic analysis of students’ reflective logs. Results indicated significant improvements in writing fluency, argumentative structure, and quality of reasoning. However, aspects such as the clarity of topic sentences and paragraph cohesion remained areas for development. The findings contribute to the growing literature on CT in EFL contexts and demonstrate that structured reflective practices can effectively support the development of academic writing. This study offers practical implications for EFL educators aiming to integrate critical thinking into writing pedagogy through accessible and contextualized strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the ability of hotel employees in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, in explaining guest room facilities using English. English is an important skill for hotel employees to improve communication with foreign guests, especially in the area's growing hospitality sector. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations and documentation. The participants of this study were 15 employees from several hotels in Ogan Ilir. This study measures their ability to use terms related to hotel facilities, such as room types, equipment, and available services. The results of the study show that the majority of employees have basic skills in using English, but there are still difficulties in explaining room facilities in detail and professionally. Some of the factors that affect these abilities are the lack of language training, formal education level, and work experience in the hospitality industry. This study recommends the existence of a special needs-based English training program in the hospitality sector to improve employee communication skills. This finding is also expected to be a consideration for hotel management in improving service quality through the development of human resources who are more skilled in English.

Abstract

This research employs a qualitative descriptive method aimed at analyzing spelling and morphological errors in online news articles published by Tribun Timur.com, specifically the Tribun Sidrap edition dated February 3, 2025. The study focuses on language errors involving the use of letters, word formation, affixation, punctuation, and other elements related to the Indonesian Spelling System (EYD) Edition V. A total of 25 news articles were selected purposively as the data source. The data were collected through reading, note-taking, and documentation techniques, and analyzed using data reduction, classification, and interpretation procedures. The findings reveal several types of language errors, including seven errors in the use of capital letters, three italicization errors, five-word formation errors, nine affixation mistakes, five hyphenation or compound word errors, one error in preposition use, three numerical/punctuation issues, and two comma-related punctuation errors. These mistakes suggest a lack of adherence to standardized Indonesian language rules in the media, which could affect the credibility of news articles and influence public language habits. The study concludes that consistent application of EYD rules is essential to improve the quality of language in online news writing. It recommends that journalists and editors implement rigorous editing practices to reduce errors and promote accurate language use. Furthermore, future research is encouraged to explore broader linguistic aspects such as syntactic and semantic errors in various media formats to support national language development and public literacy.
