Abstract

This study investigates the spelling abilities of twelfth-grade students at SMA 8 Muaro Jambi, Indonesia, with a specific focus on English nouns. Despite the early introduction of English in Indonesian schools, many students continue to struggle with spelling into their high school years. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing word identification tasks to assess students' spelling proficiency. A sample of students from class IPA 3 participated in a 30-item spelling test, which included both dictation and recognition tasks. The study reveals common spelling errors, including character omissions and substitutions with Indonesian equivalents, indicating a lack of familiarity with English spelling patterns and an over-reliance on phonetic spelling based on the native language. The findings highlight the complexity of spelling as a fundamental aspect of language proficiency, encompassing phonological, visual, morphological, and etymological knowledge. This research contributes to the field of English language education in Indonesia by providing insights into spelling challenges faced by high school students and their implications for overall language proficiency. The results can inform the development of more targeted and effective spelling instruction methods, addressing the persistent gaps in English language acquisition among Indonesian learners.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze students' perceptions of AI-based learning among English Education students at Batanghari University. In an era where digital tools play an increasing role in education, understanding how students perceive artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process becomes essential. This study adopts five key constructs to measure perceptions—engagement, interaction, satisfaction, academic performance, and behavioral intention—based on a validated framework by Khairuddin et al. (2024).The study employs a quantitative approach through a survey of 37 respondents from even-numbered semesters (2, 4, and 6). The questionnaire was distributed online and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Statistical analysis included validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing through One-Way ANOVA. The results revealed that students generally held a moderately positive perception toward AI-based learning. Among the five constructs, interaction received the highest average score, while behavioral intention had the lowest. Furthermore, the ANOVA test indicated a significant difference in students' perceptions across semester levels, confirming that academic experience influences how students view AI in learning. These findings suggest the importance of tailoring AI integration strategies based on students' academic maturity to maximize the effectiveness of AI tools in education.
