EFL Apps Potential Unleashed: Enhancing Pre-service Teachers' Digital Literacy via Tech-Vlog
Get PDFThe aim of this research is to find out how effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) technology video blogs are as a means of improving Digital Literacy (DL) before EFL services. This research uses sequential explanatory mixed methods, as well as a research design designed as survey and descriptive. Forty-three students in the English department of a state university in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, took microteaching and technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) classes. Qualitative data was obtained from interviews and reflective journals, while quantitative data was obtained from digital literacy questionnaires. These results suggest that the technology video blog platform had a positive effect on participants' confidence in incorporating technology into their future classrooms. Participants reported that they had better skills in choosing the right apps, creating interactive activities, and encouraging students to become more digitally literate. This research found that technology video blog platforms are a promising tool for improving EFL pre-service teachers' digital literacy. These results emphasize how important it is to combine reflective practice and experiential learning to help pre-service teachers use EFL teaching applications effectively. These results will have an impact on teacher education programs because they will help future educators acquire the digital skills necessary to thrive in a technologically driven educational environment.Â
Investigating EFL Students Self-Efficacy on the Use of QuillBot Paraphrasing Tool in Academic Writing
Get PDFThe present study aimed to investigate the self-efficacy of EFL students regarding their use of the QuillBot paraphrasing tool in academic writing. A qualitative research method was employed, and data were gathered through interviews. The participants consisted of four EFL students who were currently in the process of writing their theses and utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool. Data analysis was conducted using NVIVO thematic analysis.The findings indicated that EFL students' self-efficacy in utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool was not satisfactory. This lack of self-efficacy was influenced by various factors, including behavioral, social, and personal aspects. Among these factors, behavioral elements had the most significant impact as they directly affected the students' competence in academic writing. The participants' belief in their own academic writing abilities was undermined by behavioral factors, as they experienced difficulties in vocabulary and grammar usage. Furthermore, the study revealed that the social environment played a crucial role in enhancing EFL students' self-efficacy. Specifically, the support and encouragement received from lecturers and classmates positively influenced the participants' self-belief and confidence in utilizing the QuillBot paraphrasing tool. In conclusion, this research suggests that EFL students' self-efficacy in using the QuillBot paraphrasing tool for academic writing can be improved by addressing behavioral challenges and fostering a supportive social environment

Developing Speaking Skill through Opinion Expression Method in Islamic Higher Education Context
Get PDFThrough the Opinion Expressions Method, this study seeks to improve students' speaking skill in the context of Islamic higher education. It was separated into two cycles and planned as a cooperative classroom action research project. Data were gathered throughout six speaking lesson meetings during the second semester's term from class observations, field notes, questionnaires, and speaking tests. 24 students participated in the study. Based on the specified success criteria, the researchers determined how well the students were developing their speaking skill. According to the results, 11 students (48%) failed the first cycle while 13 students (54%) successfully completed it. The researchers carried on to the following cycle because the students’ speaking skill had not yet met the standards for success. Some changes were made to address the shortcomings in the First cycle, including: requiring more direction in structuring sentences by posing and responding to questions based on the callings in the photos provided in groups; encouraging students to be active in group work; emphasizing the importance of having fair distribution of work among the participants; and explaining that the direction-giving process should be improved. In the second cycle, 19 students (79%) successfully gained it, while just 5 students (21%) failed. Finally, a fascinating implication of this research was that the Opinion Expressions Method may be used to improve students' speaking skill

During the initial cycle, 5 students achieved a success rate of 29%, no students failed, and 2 students received a satisfactory score of 12%. Nine students, representing 53% of the total, successfully passed post-test II in cycle II, with no failures noted. Subsequently, eight students, representing 47% of the total, were categorised as proficient in their English speaking abilities. The outcomes demonstrated by the students following the intervention substantiate the assertion that the SAVI method significantly improves students' speaking abilities

Review of Arabic Autocorrect System in Sahehly Application
No full textThis research was conducted to investigate and determine the accuracy of the automatic correction system for Arabic texts. The focus of this research was the autocorrection system found in the Sahehly application, with analysis conducted on the harakat, tarakib, and grammatical aspects of the Arabic language. Accuracy is a very important part of an application system because accuracy can influence correct results and reduce the occurrence of errors. This study examined the review of the autocorrect system in the Sahehly application. The sample text used was the book of Fathul Qorib in the chapter of law and witnesses. The method used in this research was descriptive analysis with text study research design. From the results of the analysis, 3 words were found to be corrected with the application of Sahehly on grammatical aspects. However, when reviewed, the results of the Sahehly correction were less precise, and no changes needed to be made because they were correct. Then, the researchers found inaccuracies in 22 words that were given harakat by the Sahehly application. Thus, the presence of Sahehly is one of the developments of artificial intelligence (AI) in Arabic to provide harakat, but it is not fully perfect. Therefore, the use of Sahehly should be re-examined by referring to the knowledge that has been learned and referring to the available Arabic dictionaries and books
Portrait of the figure of Buya Hamka in the film Buya Hamka Vol.1 (A Semiotic Study)
Get PDFPhotographing a character's life journey into an interesting film is a job full of challenges. The accuracy of the narrative, setting, and the ability to bring back the characters is a process that is not easy. Buya Hamka Film Vol. 1 itself cannot be separated from criticism and public scrutiny, such as a hanging story and less than optimal supporting cast. But on the other hand, many people also appreciate the story and actors in this film. Apart from that, discussions about how long it took to make the film also filled social media timelines a few days after the film was released. Therefore, this research aims to look at the figure of Hamka depicted in the film using a semiotic perspective. This research uses Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis as a reference in dissecting symbols in films. Data collection was carried out by watching films repeatedly, then recording scenes and conversations which could be used as data to then be analyzed semiotically. The research results show that the film Buya Hamka Vol. Figure 1 shows symbols and dialogue depicting the figure of Hamka. The portrait of Hamka in this film includes his ability to preach through writing, a humanist and simple figure, as well as a political figure. It is hoped that further research can dissect this film with other approaches and methods to see another side of this work
