AI In English Language Learning: Madurese Learners’ Perspective

Abstrak

This study aims to explore Madurese learners’ perspectives on the use of AI in English language learning, focusing on perceived benefits, challenges, and learning experiences. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study involved Madurese learners of English who had experience using AI-based English learning tools. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations at 20 respondents. The findings reveal that Madurese learners generally perceive AI as a supportive and motivating tool in learning English. AI contributed to improvements in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and writing skills. AI tools were also found to promote learner autonomy by enabling self-paced practice and reducing anxiety, particularly in speaking activities and cannot fully replace the role of teachers in providing contextualized explanations and emotional support. Effective integration of AI requires teacher guidance, adequate technological support, and culturally responsive approaches to ensure meaningful and inclusive learning experiences.
