Abstract

In recent years, QuillBot, an AI-powered writing assistance tool, has gained significant attention within the academic writing sphere due to its innovative features to enhance productivity and improve the quality of written content. This study, employing the systematic literature review method, aims to explore the use of QuillBot in academic writing. A total of seventeen research publications published between 2018 and 2024 were included in this study. These articles were gathered from reliable databases such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, ResearchGate, Emerald Insight Journals, Springer, ScienceDirect, and Taylor & Francis. The findings discovered that, while users value its time-saving features, concerns regarding overreliance and potentially hindering critical skills development exist. QuillBot significantly enhances writing quality and efficiency by detecting errors, paraphrasing, and expanding vocabulary. It also addresses language barriers and plagiarism concerns. Additionally, its function as a complement to autonomous writing and critical thinking was highlighted, and caution against over-reliance was suggested. Therefore, further research is needed to examine its influence on academic performance, effectiveness across linguistic contexts, and function in writing instruction.

English pre-service teachers find teaching English abroad to be a memorable experience. It influences the type of teacher they will become in the future. Through the perspective of teacher identity, this study aims to describe how two Indonesian pre-service teachers in the English education department, during a teaching practicum in the Philippines, developed their teacher identity and how they overcome the challenges. This research focused on two fourth-year students from the English Education department of a private university in Yogyakarta who completed a one-month international teaching practicum in the Philippines. The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and subsequently investigated thematically from the perspective of the teachers' identities, and then presneted narratively. It was discovered that the biographies of the pre-service teachers served as the starting point for their teachers' identity development. Throughout the international teaching practicum, the development of their teacher identity was influenced by their emotional reactions, their teaching methods, and their symbolic representation. In the international teaching setting, the student teacher received psychological and technical assistance to overcome the challenges of their practice. This support played a crucial role in the successful completion of the program and contributed to the development of their professional identity as teachers. The findings demonstrate the importance of international teaching experience, prompting universities to prioritize the teaching practicum. Additionally, the university should expand its international exchange programs, focusing on teaching practicum programs.

TOEIC is one of the tests that is used in many universities and according to the director's decree at the Alkon Kalimantan polytechnic campus, the graduation requirements for students who will take the final exam and oral defense must obtain a minimum score of 500. The institution that conducts the test independently is International Testing The program or ITP appointed as the program supervisor for testing on our campus. To make graduates exceed the minimum standard competency score, we hold preparation classes. We held it for a month with a total of 12 meetings. With this minimum standard for graduation, it is hoped that it can become a benchmark so that graduates are expected to have adequate English language skills. By holding preparation classes, it is hoped that when facing tests held by other institutions or official institutions that is appointed, all graduates will be able to exceed a score above 500. This study used qualitative method in which to find out students' preparation when taking the TOEIC test using books and audio that are available and sold in the bookstore market, to find out whether with this preparation their scores can increase as expected. The results of the research show that the scores of students who will be graduating have increased drastically compared to the previous year, where in the previous year there were several students who failed and after this activity was held, the number of students failing to achieve a minimum score of 500 could be reduced.

Abstract

This study examines strategies to increase English language acceptance in Indonesian universities, considering the importance of English proficiency in the global academic context. Through a qualitative approach with a literature study method, this study analyzes various literature and previous research results to identify challenges and solutions in increasing English acceptance. The results show that the English language acceptance rate among students is still not optimal, with the main obstacles being high language anxiety and low intrinsic motivation. Factors that affect English language acceptance include psychological aspects such as self-efficacy and anxiety, as well as external factors such as the quality of the learning environment and institutional support. This research proposes a comprehensive development strategy that integrates modern pedagogical approaches, such as project-based learning and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), with the support of learning technology. Mentoring programs and peer support groups have proven to be effective in creating a supportive learning environment. The evaluation of the implementation of the strategy showed a gradual increase in English language acceptance, characterized by a decrease in the level of language anxiety and an increase in student participation in learning activities. These findings make a significant contribution to the development of English learning programs in higher education that are more effective and sustainable.

Abstract

The aims of the current research are threefold. First, it aimed to find out the motivations of students in Islamic education programs to choose an EMI program. Secondly, it was conducted to reveal the student satisfaction with the EMI program. Third, it sought to explore the difficulties or challenges perceived by students in the EMI program. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying 22 students from an international class at an Islamic state university in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. The results revealed that students were mainly motivated by the need to access international publications, improve English proficiency, and enhance career prospects. Most participants felt that the program offered positive challenges, boosted motivation, and improved their vocabulary related to their courses. Additionally, many students expressed satisfaction with their lecturers' spoken English and the simplified content delivered in English. In terms of challenges, nearly half of the students reported difficulties in understanding lectures and course contents. Other challenges included writing notes and following peer discussions. These insights highlight the need for targeted support and instructional strategies to address the linguistic demands of EMI programs in the Indonesian Islamic higher education context.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a crucial skill in language learning,. But many students continue to struggle with understanding spoken information due to cognitive overload, difficulty identifying key points, and ineffective note-taking strategies. A preliminary observation in Class XI D at MAN 2 Jember revealed that students faced significant challenges in listening tasks, as shown by their low average pre-test score of 52.5. These difficulties highlighted the urgent need for targeted instructional strategies like Classroom Action Reserach to support their listening development. This classroom action research (CAR) was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of sentence and abbreviation note-taking techniques in improving students' listening comprehension. Implemented over two cycles involving planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages, the study demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ performance, with the average score rising to 75.9 in Cycle 2, surpassing the success criterion of 70. The findings suggest that structured note-taking techniques enhance students’ ability to extract key information and reduce cognitive overload. By addressing challenges such as classroom arrangement, phonological interference, and divided attention, the study provides practical insights for teachers seeking to improve students' listening skills through effective note-taking strategies.
