A Team-Based Project Model Based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in The English for Tourism Course
Abstract
This study explores the implementation of a team-based project model incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an English for Tourism course designed for students of the English Literature Study Program at Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah. The research aims to assess how AI can enhance collaborative learning and communication skills, essential for the tourism sector. The research used a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection. Quantitative data from the pre- and post-tests were analyzed using statistical software to compare students' improvement in language skills. Qualitative data from the surveys and interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in student feedback. The result of the research is language improvement 25% average increase in language proficiency, teamwork 80% of students reported improved collaboration and satisfication and AI effectiveness 90% found AI tools helpful with 75% appreciating the interactive learning experience. The research concluded that incorporating AI into team-based project models in the English for Tourism course significantly enhances both language learning and collaborative skills. Students not only improved their linguistics competencies but also become more adept at working in teams, simulating real-world tasks in the tourism sector.
