Abstract

To enable Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM) to become the Asia-Pacific centre for wetlands development in 2027, one of the efforts ULM makes is to raise awareness about the importance of optimising human resources in wetlands through research and development in the educational and cultural fields. English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia, allowing students to use the language outside of academic settings. English becomes a required subject in junior and senior high school; however, the government requires that English be taught in primary schools as a local topic. English, on the other hand, remains a mandatory subject in a large number of Indonesian primary schools, particularly in Banjarmasin. The issue arises in primary school English instruction because there is no clear guidance for teachers on how to teach English in an appropriate and engaging manner for the students. Due to the absence of a monograph book on teaching methods, teachers in some primary schools in Banjarmasin, particularly those located in wetland areas, have limited access to teaching English to young learners (EYL). In light of the university's policy and the critical nature of achieving teaching and learning objectives, as well as the absence of a suitable reference book for teaching EYL, this study aims to develop an appropriate monograph book on teaching techniques for students of young ages. The research and development design is chosen because it aims to create a product and meets the needs of the reference book's development. The results are expected to improve students' academic performance and to assist EYL teachers in wetland areas in conducting effective and meaningful teaching.

Abstract

Mobile learning powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising vision for transforming education by introducing tutoring systems that can personalize learning. It is being developed to ensure that all learners have the opportunity to be autonomous and to advance collaborative learning. NovoLearning was used in this study to implement mobile learning powered by artificial intelligence (AI). NovoLearning's mobile learning platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI) provides a pleasurable experience and practical language learning for English as a Foreign Language students. Each NovoLearning level includes meaningful learning objectives in the areas of vocabulary, grammar syntax, listening, pronunciation, and role-playing. The purpose of this study was to examine the improvement of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) University students at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat in Indonesia who studied the subject of English using artificial intelligence-based mobile learning. This study used a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, recruiting two groups: one as the control group, which did not use artificial intelligence-based mobile learning, and another as the experimental group, which did. The result indicates that the t critical value (6.373) is greater than the t table, as indicated by the positive values of the lower score (4.4928) and upper score (8.5195). It is less than 0.05 in the Sig (2-tailed) row. Then it can be concluded that the experimental group's English competence was significantly greater than the control group's. Students' positive attitudes toward AI-based mobile learning encompassed two outcomes: (1) increased opportunities for learning for students and (2) NovoLearning areas for improvement during implementation.

Abstract

While writing is critical in education, it is a difficult skill to master. Reading is one of the many factors that affect writing. Numerous studies have established a link between reading and writing.  With that assumption, this study will examine the relationship between English reading habits and writing ability among students enrolled in the Advanced Writing Course at the English Language Education Study Program of Lambung Mangkurat University. This study adopted a quantitative approach and a correlational design, with students from batch 2018 as the research population. Using a simple random sampling technique, 50 students were randomly selected to serve as samples. A questionnaire was used to ascertain the students' reading habits, whereas a test was used to ascertain their writing abilities. Pearson Product-Moment Coefficient Correlation was then used to determine the correlation between the variables. The result showed that the correlation coefficient was 0.211 and the significance value was 0.141, indicating that H0 is acceptable because of the sig. value was ? 0.05. Therefore, there is a weak and negative correlation between students' reading habits and their writing ability. This occurred because many students with strong reading habits also have weak writing abilities, implying that the correlation between the two variables is weak.  It is suggested that students develop a reading habit by beginning with small steps such as selecting a short, easy-to-read book, setting small goals, making reading enjoyable, making reading friends, and remaining consistent.
