Abstract

An argumentative essay is one of the most difficult types of writing for university students, especially in constructing sentences that are logical, cohesive, and coherent, which is called a logico-semantic relation in systematics functional linguistics (SFL). Thus, the objective of this research was to find out the logico-semantic relations manifest in the argumentative essays crafted by university students and a teacher's perspectives on the use of logico-semantic relations in students’ writing. The analysis showed that the essay comprised 10 clause complexes and exhibited logico-semantic relations, as evidenced by the identification of expansion and projection relations. The data on expansion relation revealed that out of 10 clause complexes, 5 clauses 50% had elaboration relations, 3 clauses 30% had enhancement relations, and 2 clauses 20% had extension relations. Among 10 clauses, 3 belonged to the category of idea projection marked by words such as “debate, find out, thinking, based on”, while 2 belonged to the category of locution projection marked by words “tell, say”, and the remaining two clauses did not belong to any category of projection. Concerning the interview, the teacher possessed a solid comprehension of the concept of logico-semantic relations, which are the techniques of linking clauses or sentences to convey the logical and semantic meanings of the text. The teacher also emphasized the importance of logico-semantic relations for attaining cohesion and coherence in academic writing.

Abstract

Building learning autonomy is a pivotal aspect in higher education. Students should be able to be more independent, rather than relying heavily on teacher-directed activities within the classroom. It is crucial to provide self-access materials that align with students' learning needs. This current research, therefore, aimed at developing interactive English supplementary materials using Genial.ly for promoting students' autonomous learning. Genial.ly has been proven to be a promising application; however, the use of Genial.ly to develop English for Specific Purposes (ESP) self-access learning materials for EFL Nursing students is still understudied. Following the research and development stages, which included planning, development, and evaluation, the findings showed that the average scores for language and media expert validation were 4.8 and 4.7, respectively. Following this, the researcher conducted the first revision and a small-scale trial, yielding an average score of 4.1. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the learning product meets the standard and is feasible to be implemented as supplementary materials to help both teachers and students within the English teaching and learning process. Further classroom action research (CAR) or experimental design is highly recommended to investigate the effectiveness of the Genial. Ly-based learning product. The implementation of Genial. Ly-based interactive English supplementary materials also required further and larger feedback from the broader user base to inform future product development that meets the students' needs.

Abstract

The ability to dissect words into the smallest unit of language is not something many people can do. However, studies on linguistic awareness have shown that there is a correlation between morphological awareness (MA) and a language learner's level of language proficiency. This study aimed to investigate the morphological awareness of EFL teachers from formal and non-formal education; conventional school and English courses. The teachers-participants were selected from both institutions, tested with a morphological test, and interviewed to verify and confirm their MA test results. Descriptive statistic was used to analyze the results of tests and content analysis to analyze the interviews. Results of this study showed that the non-formal education EFL teachers demonstrated a better understanding of morphological knowledge than the formal education EFL teachers. Moreover, all teachers acknowledged the importance of morphological awareness in their language learning teaching. This study not only contributes to the growing area of morphology within the Indonesian context, but it also encourages teachers, particularly from formal education, to strengthen their understanding of morphological knowledge to design learning materials that fulfill students’ needs of morphological knowledge and awareness, and invites educators and policymakers to consider designing morphologically-focused content.

Abstract

EFL students at any level of education are nowadays accustomed to using AI tools to support their English learning. They also use it during academic writing. Understanding the perception is therefore important to optimize the use of AI writing tools.  The existing literature suggests that there are contrasting perceptions among students. Hence, this study aims to uncover the perceptions and uses of AI writing tools used by EFL students from different levels of education, which are undergraduate and master’s degree. This study utilized a mixed method combining surveys and interviews to answer research questions. The result suggests that the difference lies in the varieties of tools used by each level of education. Master’s degree tends to use more diverse AI writing tools compared to an undergraduate. As for the perception, both levels perceived AI writing tools positively. Suggestions for further studies are also presented in the last section. This study contributes to the developing area of AI in education and provides insight on how different levels of education utilize AI writing tools.

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is still rarely studied in the context of English-speaking skills, particularly in terms of its specific impact on speaking skills among undergraduate students. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and English-speaking skills among EFL students at Islamic Nusantara University in Bandung. A survey design involving 93 English Language Education students was employed, utilizing a quantitative approach selected through purposive sampling. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey design. The data collection technique employed a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, which was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study results indicate that emotional intelligence (EI) has a significant impact on the English-speaking abilities of EFL students, playing a crucial role in enhancing confidence, managing anxiety, and improving speaking skills. An average score of 3.99 reflects students’ perception that EI plays a significant role in the success of speaking English. This study’s implications highlight the integration of EI lessons into the English learning curriculum to enhance students’ confidence and speaking skills, thereby creating a more satisfying learning experience. This research offers valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers to design programs that promote the development of emotional intelligence (EI) in the context of language learning, thereby enhancing students’ English-speaking skills.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of ChatGPT in enhancing the speaking skills of EFL undergraduate students in the Hospital Administration program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Metro. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving 42 first-semester students divided into two groups: 21 students in ARS 1 as the experimental group and 21 students in ARS 2 as the control group. The experimental group received treatment using specific prompts designed to initiate conversations with ChatGPT. Data were collected through oral tests conducted before and after the intervention (pre-test and post-test). The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in the speaking skills of students in the experimental group. Hypothesis testing showed a significant value of <0.000 for the first hypothesis and 0.004 for the second, both below the threshold of 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypotheses were accepted. In conclusion, the use of ChatGPT had a positive and significant effect on improving the speaking skills of EFL students in the Hospital Administration program. The results highlight the potential of ChatGPT to supplement classroom speaking activities, while contributing to research on AI in EFL learning.

Abstract

This study investigates how QuillBot-assisted Collaborative Writing affects EFL students' descriptive writing performance and self-efficacy. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 45 Indonesian senior high school students were divided into control (21 students) and experimental groups (24 students). The experimental group engaged in collaborative writing with QuillBot, while the control group followed a conventional teacher-centered approach. Data collection included pre-test and post-test writing assessments and a self-efficacy questionnaire. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to analyze the data due to violations of normality and homogeneity assumptions. The result revealed a significant difference in post-test scores between the groups. Meanwhile, self-efficacy showed no statistically significant influence on writing performance. These findings suggest that QuillBot-assisted Collaborative Writing enhances students’ interaction and writing proficiency. The use of QuillBot provides timely feedback and reduces the teachers’ load. Future research should explore long-term effects, student engagement levels in the areas of cognitive, behavior, social, and affective engagement, and qualitative perspectives on AI-assisted writing in K-12 setting. This research contributes to the growing discussion related to QuillBot’s roles in language learning, emphasizing its abilities as a complementary rather than autonomous instructional tool.

Abstract

This research examines how presupposition triggers a function in storytelling and debate genres to create meaning, finding that distributions of triggers and contexts of discourse determine interpretive dynamics together. The study confirms that definite descriptions make background assumptions in Arthur Conan Doyle's A Scandal in Bohemia and a free-speech debate transcript, and genre-conventional patterns result—narrative uses low-frequency-high-impact clefts and factices to regulate reader involvement, and debate uses plentiful contrastive ("but") and modal ("may") initiators to regulate contestable premises. With a convergent-parallel mixed-methods design, the study gathered and cleaned the entire text of the short story and verbatim debate transcript. Discourse analysis was used to identify and thematically code presupposition triggers, and automated scripts to count their frequency. Key results indicate that definite appear in 100% of narrative turns and 85% of argument turns, whereas "but" and "may" appear in 23% and 15% of argument turns but fewer than 1% in the narrative. The findings directly speak to the congruity between qualitative patterns (world-construction vs. argumentative setup) and quantitative trends. The research concludes that presuppositions are genre-sensitive tools: semantic triggers ground narratives, while pragmatic triggers propel debate dynamics. Consequences reach as far as dynamic semantics theory, high-level discourse pedagogy, and improved NLP models for presupposition detection.

Abstract

Descriptive text is an important part of the English curriculum in junior high school, especially for seventh-grade students. However, many students faced difficulties in understanding descriptive text, which hindered their reading comprehension and limited their academic achievement. Traditional teaching methods were often ineffective in engaging students. In contrast, gamification had been recognized as an innovative strategy to increase student motivation and improve learning outcomes. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of the Blooket platform on students' reading comprehension ability in descriptive texts. This study uses a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the study were 76 seventh grade students at SMPN 3 Banjarmasin who were divided into experimental classes and control classes through cluster random sampling techniques. Both classes are given pre-tests and post-tests that focus on descriptive texts. The data analysis technique used was the Mann-Whitney U test with the help of SPSS version 26. The result showed that there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of students taught using Blooket and those taught using Quizizz. The experimental class achieved higher scores, with a significance value 0.000, which was lower than the 0.05 threshold. It can therefore be concluded that the Blooket platform had a significant positive impact on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts. Consequently, it is recommended that English teachers integrate Blooket into their teaching practices to foster greater student engagement and improve comprehension outcomes.
