Abstract

Critical reading skills are central to academic achievement since they afford students one capacity to decipher and evaluate texts efficiently. With the entering of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the education system, new tools have been developed to help in this process, one of which is Chat PDF AI. This qualitative research focuses on the Students at the English Education Department Dwijendra University and their understanding of critical reading courses with the help of Chat PDF AI. The objectives of this study are: to assess the indications of Chat PDF AI on students’ attitude, motivation, and comprehension in critical reading. To achieve the following objectives, a mixed-methods, sequential, explanatory design as highlighted by Creswell, was used. 15 students participated in the study and questionnaires involving structured interviews were used to gather data. The numerical data collected from the questionnaires were computed using descriptive statistics to compare the results for the different variables while the interviews offered more information about the students’ experience and perception regarding the implementation of the ergonomic computer workstations. The findings show that most of the students had a positive perception of chat PDF AI. In detail, 86,7% respondents talked about the improvement in the attitude towards the critical reading because of utilizing the tool; 66,7% respondents stated about their increased motivation as the tool is interactive. According to the qualitative data, the interviewees asserted and supported these discoveries by explaining that Chat PDF AI enhanced the entertaining and interactive attributes of reading tasks, thus making them less monotonous while enabling students to interact in a more productive manner in the learning process. Therefore, Chat PDF AI can be regarded as beneficial in the educational process both impacting the students’ attitudes and their motivation towards critical reading. Thus, although the study’s results appear positive, further research using more significant and diverse groups of participants is required to replicate these outcomes and examine AI tools’ sustained effects on the learners’ performances and critical reading skills.

Abstract

Pronunciation errors can significantly impact the clarity and comprehension of a story, leading to misunderstandings and reduced listener engagement. By emphasizing correct pronunciation, teachers enable clearer and more confident communication, significantly enhancing the effectiveness and impact of storytelling. This study aimed to investigate how English teachers use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) during storytelling instruction to improve pronunciation accuracy. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative method. This research has been conducted through five English teachers using storytelling sessions with the same topic based on different YouTube video sources. The data will be collected through English teachers’ recordings when teaching storytelling. The data will be analyzed with IPA transcriptions to identify and categorize pronunciation errors in consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. The findings reveal a total of 36 pronunciation errors, including 18 vowel errors, 14 consonant errors, and 2 diphthong errors. The researcher suggests English teachers use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for teaching pronunciation, particularly in storytelling, to improve students' understanding of phonetic nuances, reduce pronunciation errors, and enhance communication and storytelling skills.
