Abstract

This study aims to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) technology impacts the improvement of students' oral communication competence in English. The ELSA (English Language Speech Assistant) application, powered by AI, provided feedback to users to enhance their English speaking skills. An Action Research approach was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative methods to gain a holistic understanding of AI's effectiveness in English language learning. The research was conducted in three phases: pre-observation, Cycle 1, and Cycle 2. Each cycle consisted of several stages: planning, implementation, action, observation, and reflection. To assess student achievement, quantitative analysis was used to evaluate test results. Additionally, a survey was conducted to gather students’ perceptions and experiences regarding the use of AI in learning. The results showed that after Cycle 1, 11 students (44%) achieved the minimum required score of 75, while 14 students (56%) scored below the success criteria (below 72). Based on the success criteria of 75% of students meeting the minimum score, the study proceeded to Cycle 2. In Cycle 2, 76% of students met the success criteria, showing significant improvement over Cycle 1. The survey also indicated positive perceptions from students regarding the ELSA app’s design, interface, variety of topics, and feedback feature. Students expressed satisfaction with the app, as it allowed them to practice English conversation anytime and anywhere.

Abstract

Metacognitive strategies can help students learn autonomously, so they have been studied in second language learning. However, mapping research trends and future challenges on this issue is rare. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric study using metacognitive strategies in second language learning. Scopus papers from the past decade provide data. Descriptive statistics and Vosviewer were used to analyse data. The results showed six research clusters: (1) the use of metacognitive strategies in achieving learning outcomes, (2) students’ motivation and awareness in a second language, (3) teaching writing, (4) learning interventions and their effects on students’ comprehension and abilities, (5) learning activities, problems, and reflections in learning a second language, and (6) courses related to learning a second language. Cluster 6 has the weakest relationship with other clusters in their study. Year-to-year research themes developed. Research focuses on managing course programs in the early five years by utilising metacognitive strategies, technology, motivation, and student awareness. From mid-2018 to 2019, research trends have developed in learning to write. After that, there are no new research trends to date. Trends address second language learning outcomes, student motivation and self-awareness, learning interventions, and their effects. Student issues research themes are rarer.

Abstract

In the context of globalization, cross-cultural competence has become essential, particularly in language learning. Listening comprehension is a vital skill for effective communication, yet many educators overlook its significance, often focusing more on grammar and vocabulary. Despite this, integrating cross-cultural elements in language instruction has been shown to enhance students' communicative abilities. However, there remains a gap in the literature concerning the effective implementation of cross-cultural instruction in listening comprehension, particularly in Islamic higher education in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the implementation of cross-culture-based instruction in teaching listening at Indonesian Islamic Higher Education institutions. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving two lecturers and 34 students from the English Education Department at State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Bone. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and structured interviews. The findings reveal that lecturers utilized a combination of textbook and authentic materials, including YouTube videos and articles, to provide culturally diverse content. Digital tools such as WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Zoom were also employed, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, to facilitate learning. The integration of these tools allowed for flexible instruction, yet the study found limitations in fostering deep cultural understanding through asynchronous communication. In conclusion, while the implementation of cross-culture-based instruction in listening comprehension demonstrated potential, the study highlights the need for a more robust pedagogical framework that fully integrates cultural content with technology. Future research should explore more dynamic methods of engaging students in real-time cultural exchanges to enhance both linguistic proficiency and cross-cultural competence.

Abstract

Acquisition of grammar is essential in English instruction because it is the foundation of learning its language, yet EFL learners often face obstacles, particularly in online settings. At the same time, recently, technology has rapidly embraced and offered various platforms or applications as learning aids in the English education field. The incorporation of technology facilitation is believed to boost the student’s grammar competency. However, the delving of students’ views of grammar learning online and collaboration is still infrequent. In an attempt to fill the gap, the current study investigated the students’ views on utilizing Google Docs and WhatsApp in online collaborative grammar learning. This descriptive qualitative case study examined 99 participants consisting of 17 males and 82 females of Indonesian EFL undergraduate students at a private university in Jakarta, Indonesia, who viewed Google Docs and WhatsApp in online collaborative grammar learning. The data was collected by questionnaire and interview and then analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed that the students' views positively influenced their substantive feelings, collaboration, teamwork skills, confidence, autonomy, and self-regulation. Grounded by the findings, the current paper illustrates recommendations for conducting online collaborative grammar learning integrated with Google Docs and WhatsApp for the learner and the instructor in preparing a syllabus and technical procedure. The result of the current study implied that both the platform and application offer the potential to be adopted in online or hybrid collaboration instruction.

Abstract

This study analyzes the language used by Kompas, focusing on the expression of attitude. The appraisal framework developed by Martin and White (2005) is used as an analytical linguistics tool to investigate aspects of attitude—affect, judgment, and appreciation—to identify the ideological position through a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of four online texts about the Free Nutrition Meals Program (FNMP). This qualitative research employs a content analysis method to interpret attitude resources utilized in constructing news texts. The results of the study reveal that Kompas demonstrates a relatively balanced representation of both positive and negative attitudes (53.8% positive, 46.2% negative). This equilibrium between positive and negative attitude data indicates significant and contentious issues faced by the government, political observers, and the general public regarding the FNMP. These findings illustrate how news reporting by media outlets can reflect ideological orientations and influence public perceptions regarding FNMP. Additionally, this study provides practical insights that can be utilized by media content creators and journalists to craft messages that are more effective and tailored to the intended audience. When presenting news that includes positive and negative assessments, it is crucial to maintain "impartial" and "balance" in news delivery, in accordance with journalistic ethics. In the context of EFL, this study also has significant implications for enhancing students' discourse competence.

The restricted technological infrastructure includes inadequate internet connectivity and insufficient access to AI gear and software. By examining the dynamics within the school, the study seeks to empower students to enhance their critical thinking, reflection, creativity, and productivity in the digital-based education era. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, the researchers collected data through visual observation and interviews with the English teachers and students. In analyzing the data, the researchers used the interactive model of triangulation data that developed by Miles and Hubermann. The study's findings reveal several key elements for the effective implementation of pedagogical and cybergogy transformations. First, customization of learning is essential. With AI, teachers can personalize instructional materials and methods to meet individual students' needs, skill levels, and learning styles. Interactive technologies are also critical, as they increase student engagement and foster collaborative online learning. AI technology provides quick feedback and automates assessments, streamlining the evaluation process. Additionally, AI can be used to source and deliver authentic educational materials, such as news articles, podcasts, or videos, aligned with students' competence levels. Beyond improving language proficiency, AI helps develop students' critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. To fully leverage AI, teachers must also enhance their digital competencies, enabling them to integrate AI effectively into their teaching and guide students in using these technologies responsibly and ethically.
