After the covid-19 pandemic, everything was online, including learning. Teachers no longer have to always race on books in the learning process, they can take advantage of technology that is smartphones. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out how Duolingo application is implemented on 10th grade’ students along with the students’ response. Duolingo itself is a learning app that has the highest rating in the education field on the Appstore. This application provides various features and also integrated skills such as 4 skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), then pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Since the previous study was only discussed vocabulary, the writer conducts writing skill for this study. Through this application, teachers will be easier to introduce various vocabulary for students to write descriptive text.

Numerous investigations have delved into the cultural content and intercultural communicative competence. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of comprehensive research that directly scrutinizes these aspects within the context of Indonesian EFL textbooks, specially following new curriculum in Indonesia, the Merdeka curriculum. Therefore, this study aims to explore the representation of the culture content and intercultural communicative competence in “English for Change” and “Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut” textbooks designed for the 11th-grade students following the Merdeka Curriculum by employing content analysis. The findings suggested that both textbooks focused more on the source culture than on international and target culture. They also did not convey sufficient intercultural communicative competence. These findings imply that the government, teacher, and material developers must carefully determine and select the learning material to present a balance culture content and intercultural communicative competence in order to build students’ culture sensitivity and global awareness.
关于文化内容和跨文化交际能力的研究不胜枚举。然而,在印尼 EFL 教科书的背景下,特别是在印尼新课程--默迪卡课程之后,仍然缺乏对这些方面进行直接审查的全面研究。因此,本研究旨在通过内容分析,探讨 "English for Change "和 "Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut "教科书中文化内容和跨文化交际能力的表现形式,这两本教科书是为采用默迪卡课程的十一年级学生设计的。研究结果表明,这两本教科书更侧重于源文化,而不是国际文化和目标文化。它们也没有传达足够的跨文化交际能力。这些研究结果表明,政府、教师和教材编写者必须认真确定和选择学习材料,以平衡文化内容和跨文化交际能力,从而培养学生的文化敏感性和全球意识。

This comprehensive review explores the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language assessment and its transformative potential. Language assessment plays a vital role in education, employment, and societal integration. Language assessment has traditionally relied on human evaluators, who assess and score language performance based on standardized criteria. However, this manual assessment approach has limitations, including subjectivity, inter-rater variability, and scalability issues. With the rapid advancements in AI technologies, language assessment has experienced significant changes, offering more accurate, efficient, and innovative evaluation methods. The method used in this study is systematic review which critically examines the application of AI in language assessment, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future prospects. The review covers various aspects, including automated scoring and evaluation, intelligent tutoring systems, natural language processing, advantages and benefits, challenges and considerations, and future directions. By harnessing the use of AI, language assessment can achieve unprecedented levels of objectivity, scalability, and personalization, while addressing ethical considerations. This review contributes to the understanding of AI's impact on language

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a shift into online learning, including in English language learning. One of the popular online learning platforms in Indonesia is Ruangguru, where students can access English learning materials on its application anytime and anywhere. This study aims to find out Indonesian high-school students’ perceptions of Ruangguru as an English online learning tool. A questionnaire and guided interviews were used to collect the data from Indonesian high-schoolers who use Ruangguru. The data were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. The results indicate that Ruangguru is positively perceived by online English learners, namely because its videos give clear instructions that can motivate the students into becoming autonomous learners. However, some learners still encounter problems regarding the constraints posed by online learning and digital gap. Regardless, most of them see Ruangguru as a helpful English learning tool during the online education era.

This study sought to investigate whether or not there was a significant difference in reading comprehension between students who were taught utilizing reciprocal teaching strategies and those who were not, as well as whether there was a significant effect of applying these strategies on reading comprehension. In September and October 2022, Senior High School 1 in Kampar Hulu was the site of the study. The Senior High School 1 Koto Kampar Hulu population for this study was made up entirely of eleventh graders. In class XI 1, the researcher utilized the reciprocal teaching technique as the experimental class, while in class XI 2, the researcher used the traditional strategy as the control class. A quantitative and experimental method was adopted in this study. Pretest and posttest were not equal in the study's quasi-experimental approach. Pre-test and post-test tests were used as study instruments to gather the data. The independent t-test and paired sample t-test statistic techniques from SPSS 22 were used to analyse and evaluate the data. The independent t-test calculation using the test results in both groups' posttest scores revealed that the significant value was greater than the level of significance (0,361 > 0,05). It demonstrated that the experimental and control groups' differences were indeed substantial. Additionally, the paired t-test calculation revealed the paired sample t-test result (-12,805 0,05), which indicated that adopting the reciprocal teaching strategy had a substantial impact on students' reading comprehension
本研究旨在探讨采用互惠教学策略与未采用互惠教学策略的学生在阅读理解能力方面是否存在显著差异,以及采用这些策略对阅读理解能力是否有显著影响。2022 年 9 月和 10 月,研究地点设在甘榜胡鲁第一高级中学。本次研究的对象全部是甘榜胡鲁第一高级中学的十一年级学生。在十一年级 1 班,研究人员使用互惠教学法作为实验班,而在十一年级 2 班,研究人员使用传统策略作为对照班。本研究采用了定量和实验方法。在本研究的准实验方法中,前测和后测并不等同。研究采用前测和后测作为收集数据的研究工具。使用 SPSS 22 中的独立 t 检验和配对样本 t 检验统计技术来分析和评估数据。利用两组后测得分的测试结果进行的独立 t 检验计算显示,显著值大于显著水平(0,361 > 0,05)。这表明实验组和对照组的差异确实很大。此外,通过配对 t 检验计算得出的配对样本 t 检验结果(-12,805 0,05)表明,采用互惠教学策略对学生的阅读理解能力产生了重大影响。

EFL students have a big problem called reluctance. Reluctance is students’ unwillingness or disinclination to speak and participate in classroom activities. This research attempts to determine how much each of the three factors affects students’ reluctance to speak English in classroom interactions and which is the most dominant. A descriptive quantitative method was used in this research. A questionnaire was used to collect data. This research analysed the data using version 25 of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, abbreviated as the SPSS program. The result showed that the weighted average of the proportions of the three factors was 2.66, 2.58, and 2.39, respectively, for psychological, language-related, and socio-cultural factors. It can be concluded that the psychological factor (lack of motivation) was the main factor that affected students’ reluctance to speak in English. Because of that, the students should maintain their high motivation to improve their speaking ability. Additionally, teachers should employ various strategies to create an engaging learning or activity environment that can motivate students.
