Abstract

This study investigates the experiences and challenges of lecturers and students in the English Tadris Study Program of IAIN Curup in using AI writing tools for academic work. Using a qualitative approach with purposive sampling, data were collected from one lecturer and ten students through interviews, supported by a preliminary pilot study confirming the integration of AI in academic writing practices. The findings reveal that AI enhances idea development, organization, syntactic accuracy, vocabulary refinement, and writing confidence, functioning as a cognitive accelerator that streamlines the writing process. However, significant challenges emerge, including shallow idea generation, rigid structures, machine-like language, inaccurate citations, limited access to premium AI features, and insufficient prompt literacy. The discussion highlights deeper pedagogical implications, particularly the shifting paradigm from “writing as creation” to “writing as collaboration,” emphasizing the lecturer’s role as mediator of ethical AI use. Psychological transformations also appear, where efficiency leads to dependency, forming a “comfort paradox” that threatens independent thinking and authorial identity. The study concludes with recommendations for institutional AI guidelines, AI literacy integration, equitable access, and pedagogical redesign to balance automation with originality.

Abstract

This initial study seeks to create a Metacognitive understanding Reading Questionnaire (MARQ) to evaluate university students' understanding of metacognitive methods in reading comprehension. The MARQ emphasises critical tactics including preparation, monitoring, and evaluation, which are vital for enhancing reading comprehension, especially in academic and assessment environments such as the TOEFL. The study used a qualitative method to assess the initial usefulness of the MARQ, highlighting its potential to guide treatments and improve students' metacognitive awareness and reading ability. Three experts were asked to validate the questionnaire; one expert to validate a construct validation sheet and two experts to validate the content validity sheet. The statements in validation sheets used a Likert-scale from a range of Strongly Agree and Strongly Disagree. The results from the experts were then described in percentages to obtain the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. It is recommended that the tool undergo more improvement for wider use. Integrating metacognitive strategy training into the academic curriculum may augment learning results, enhance reading efficiency, and elevate overall performance in high-stakes reading assessments.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery plays a crucial role in successful language acquisition, and blended learning approaches have increasingly been adopted to enhance lexical development in higher education. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on general blended learning designs without fully exploring the specific contribution of the Enriched Virtual Model (EVM) in strengthening different dimensions of lexical competence. Moreover, limited research has examined how diverse learning preferences, such as those identified through the VARK framework, influence students’ engagement and vocabulary development within EVM-based instruction. Addressing these gaps, this study investigates the effectiveness of EVM in improving students’ lexical competence and examines how different learning styles contribute to learners’ engagement and vocabulary growth. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data from pre- and post-tests with qualitative insights obtained from reflections, observations, and open-ended responses. Participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a Lexical Studies course, who engaged in a combination of multimodal online modules and targeted face-to-face sessions throughout the intervention. Quantitative findings revealed substantial gains across all dimensions of lexical competence—vocabulary breadth, depth, collocational knowledge, and contextual use—with contextual vocabulary demonstrating the highest improvement. Differences were also observed across learning-style groups, with Visual and Read/Write learners showing the greatest lexical gains, while Auditory and Kinesthetic learners benefited most from modality-congruent strategies. Qualitative findings further indicated that EVM supported learner autonomy, enhanced multimodal engagement, and strengthened vocabulary retention through structured online learning and collaborative face-to-face consolidation. Overall, the results demonstrate that EVM provides an effective, flexible, and learner-responsive framework for vocabulary instruction in blended learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating e-portfolios into a flipped English classroom to enhance English for Specific Purposes (ESP) speaking performance and speaking self-efficacy among nursing students. Grounded in ESP pedagogy, communicative language teaching, and self-efficacy theory, the study addresses the persistent gap between students’ linguistic knowledge and their ability to perform professional oral communication in healthcare contexts. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was implemented with 40 second-year nursing students at a private health sciences college in Central Java. The instructional intervention combined pre-class input, in-class communicative practice, and iterative speaking development through e-portfolio-based recording, feedback, and reflection over one academic semester. Speaking performance was assessed through task-based ESP speaking tests, while self-efficacy was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in both speaking performance and speaking self-efficacy, with large effect sizes indicating substantial educational impact. The results suggest that integrating e-portfolios within a flipped classroom expands opportunities for structured practice, fosters reflective learning, and strengthens learners’ confidence, thereby supporting both linguistic and psychological dimensions of professional communication. The study underscores the pedagogical value of technology-supported, contextually grounded speaking instruction in health sciences education and recommends the combined use of flipped learning and e-portfolio-based formative assessment to promote sustainable ESP speaking development.
