Fostering Metacognitive Skills Through AI-Human Dialogues: A New Paradigm for Language Learning

FX. Risang Baskara — 2024-11-22

This conceptual paper proposes a novel framework for fostering metacognitive skills in language learners through AI-human dialogues, presenting a new paradigm for language education in the 21st century. As generative AI technologies advance, their potential to revolutionise language learning remains largely untapped, particularly in developing higher-order thinking skills. This study addresses the critical question: How can AI-human dialogues be leveraged to foster metacognitive skills in language learners? Through a comprehensive literature review and conceptual analysis, we develop a framework that integrates AI capabilities with established metacognitive strategies. The proposed framework comprises five key components: Reflective Questioning, Strategy Awareness, Progress Monitoring, Error Analysis, and Adaptive Challenges. Each component is designed to engage learners in deep, personalised metacognitive processes, facilitated by AI's ability to model strategies, provide immediate feedback, and adapt to individual learning patterns. This paper discusses the potential benefits of the framework, including enhanced self-regulated learning, improved language acquisition efficiency, and increased learner autonomy. It also addresses challenges and ethical considerations, such as balancing AI guidance and learner independence and ensuring privacy in AI-human interactions. By presenting this innovative approach, we aim to stimulate further research and practical applications in the field, ultimately contributing to more effective and personalised language learning experiences in the AI era.

Investigating Language Shift Among Chinese Indonesian Students in Taiwan

Elsa Wahyuni Putri — 2024-11-22

This study examines the phenomenon of language shift among Chinese Indonesian students in Taiwan, focusing on their Mandarin Chinese language proficiency and language preferences. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through language tests and questionnaires. The participants comprised 118 Chinese Indonesian university students in Taiwan. Fishman's (1964) theory of language shift and his (1972) theory of language use domains provide the theoretical framework for this research. The findings indicate that a language shift is occurring among Chinese Indonesian students, with 49% of participants no longer using Mandarin Chinese and only 10% actively using it. Their proficiency in Mandarin Chinese varies, ranging from beginner to intermediate and advanced levels. These results suggest that language shift is more likely to occur in migrant minority groups, especially when the host community or dominant society exerts significant influence on the minority group. As a result, the vitality of Mandarin Chinese is being challenged among Chinese Indonesians in Taiwan. The study recommends that minority language speakers and researchers take proactive measures to preserve their native languages.

Student Perspectives on Paraphrasing English Texts: With and Without ChatGPT

Rentauli Mariah Silalahi — 2024-11-22

This study examines Indonesian university students' perspectives on paraphrasing English texts, both independently and with ChatGPT's support. This investigation addresses a gap in the literature and highlights the need to understand how students approach paraphrasing tasks in different contexts. Using a mixed-method research design, 50 students were surveyed, and 15 participated in follow-up interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were explored through thematic analysis. Findings reveal that students often lack confidence when paraphrasing independently, citing limited vocabulary and grammatical challenges as key barriers. Many students also reported low motivation to put in personal effort when practicing paraphrasing. In contrast, opinions on using ChatGPT were mixed. While some appreciated its ability to produce grammatically flawless paraphrases, believing it outperformed their own efforts, others criticised its outputs for being too similar to the original text, despite their grammatical accuracy. A recurring concern was the risk of over-reliance on ChatGPT, with several students noting that frequent use could undermine their motivation and effort to improve their language skills independently. Despite its limited generalisability, this study highlights the importance of thoughtfully integrating AI tools like ChatGPT in EFL education to enhance, rather than replace, active learning and skill development.

Effectiveness of E-Learning-Based Teaching and Learning Materials in the EAP Field

Nila Kencana — 2024-11-22

This study investigates the effectiveness of e-learning-based teaching and learning materials (TLMs) in enhancing academic language skills in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving 120 undergraduate students from various proficiency levels and 10 EAP instructors. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-course EAP proficiency tests and a student satisfaction survey, while qualitative data were gathered via semi-structured interviews with students and instructors. The results revealed a significant improvement in students' overall proficiency, particularly in listening and speaking skills, with interactive e-learning features and video-based resources showing the greatest effectiveness. However, challenges emerged in teaching academic writing, where the lack of real-time feedback limited student progress. Instructor feedback highlighted the need for a blended learning approach, combining e-learning with face-to-face instruction to improve the teaching of complex skills. The findings suggest that while e-learning tools offer considerable benefits, particularly in engagement and accessibility, there are limitations in areas that require more personalized guidance. The study contributes to the growing body of research on e-learning in EAP and provides practical implications for course designers and educators aiming to optimize digital resources for academic language learning.
