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

This research aims to find out students' perspectives and reflection regarding speaking skills in higher education.  This research was conducted by involving 33 students from the batch of 2020 and 2021 in one of private universities in Batam. A case study design was employed by applying questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect the data. This research found that there were three categories which were the factors contributing to students' speaking anxiety in post-pandemic era. Those factors were communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety. In addition, to overcome their speaking anxiety, they used the methods of self-communication, self-healing, restarting the speech, and switching the language, while also learning and practicing in their effort to overcome their speaking anxiety. It is crucial to note that environment is also one of factors that affects students’ motivation in speaking skills. Hence, the lecturers hopefully can choose appropriate strategies to enhance students’ speaking skills, manage classroom environment well, and give positive reinforcement to students.

Abstract

At the graduate level, students’ poor performance cuts across almost all the compulsory subjects in which English is inclusive. Poor academic performance of students is one problem impeding the smooth actualization of the educational purpose, which is to prepare an individual for mentally serving both himself and society. Therefore, the primary purpose of this research is to discover the internal factors, such as lack of motivation factors contributing to the poor academic performance of graduate students of the English Department. In this research, researchers selected three participants and utilized an interview as the method to collect the data, and interview guidelines as the instrument. The authors analysed the data qualitatively and explained the findings descriptively. Several things will affect students’ academic performance, especially those related to motivation. It starts from within the students themselves, from the family environment, and even lecturers greatly affect student motivation in improving academic performance. It should not only focus on the mistakes made by students, as there must be a cause behind it all. In a nutshell, the results of this study revealed that one aspect of internal factors causing poor academic performance was the lack of motivation derived from two sizeable directions, family and teacher.

Abstract

This research is aimed to identify the forms of plagiarism and to reveal the factors contribute toward the emergence of plagiarism in students’ undergraduate research papers. The method used is qualitative approach using content analysis. The data collection was done through analysing documents (respondents’ papers) and  interviewing the respondents and the lecturers of a private college in Bogor. The research found that there are three kinds of plagiarism forms produced by the undergraduate students; 1) Totally Copy-Paste (TCP) which means copying the texts as the same as the original without crediting the authors; 2) Totally Copy-Paste from the Mentioned Author (TCP-MA) means the respondents once credited the name of the author, but then they copied the original texts and pasted  them as many pages as they needed without paraphrasing at all; and 3) Copy-Paste and Deleting and/or Changing Few of Original Words (CP- DCFOW) which is almost the same as TCP but few words were deleted or changed from the original sources without crediting the authors. In addition, the factors contributed toward the emergence of plagiarism were the respondents’ idleness to understand the academic paper procedure, the respondents’ pragmatic views during conducting their academic paper, the respondents’ low confidence to write their own ideas on their academic paper, and the respondents’ skill to adress their ideas into the context of English academic paper.

Abstract

English proficiency is a crucial skill in today’s globalized world; however, non-English major students at universities often receive only two credits of English courses, which is insufficient to ensure their language mastery. This limitation presents a significant challenge for both students and lecturers, requiring innovative approaches to enhance students' learning experiences. One such approach is autonomous learning, which emphasizes students’ responsibility and self-direction in the learning process. This study aims to explore lecturers' understanding of autonomous learning and how they implement it within the constraints of limited English instruction. A qualitative research design employing a case study approach was utilized. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 14 lecturers teaching English in non-English study programs at a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. The participants included lecturers with varied backgrounds in English language teaching, providing diverse perspectives on the implementation of autonomous learning. The findings reveal that despite the emphasis on autonomy, students still require an instructor’s presence (teaching presence) to stimulate engagement and provide guidance in learning English. Two key themes emerged from the analysis: students’ sovereignty and trust in students’ exertion. Students' sovereignty refers to their freedom, independence, responsibility, and self-determination in identifying their learning needs and strategies. Meanwhile, trust in students' exertion highlights the importance of creating an atmosphere of acceptance, where students feel encouraged to take charge of their learning. This study underscores the need for a balanced approach between autonomy and instructional support to optimize English language learning. It is recommended that future research examine both lecturers’ and students’ perspectives to ensure that autonomous learning is a collaborative process rather than a unilateral expectation. Insights from this study contribute to the development of effective pedagogical strategies for promoting learner autonomy in higher education.
