AI in the English Classroom: A Practical Guide for Indonesian Teachers of English

Description

Al has already entered the Indonesian English classroom. Students across the country are using tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to complete assignments, check grammar, and generate text, often without their teachers’ knowledge and without understanding what is being lost in the process.

This is a book for teachers navigating that reality. For teachers making professional decisions alone, in real time, without a shared framework, in classrooms that may have one shared device and unreliable internet. For teachers who deserve guidance that was written for their context rather than adapted from someone else’s. Research-informed and classroom-tested, this guide addresses the specific challenges facing Indonesian English teachers at SMP, SMA, SMK, Madrasah, and higher education level. It covers Al-assisted lesson planning using the Genre-Based Approach, skills-based instruction across listening, speaking, reading, and writing, responsible governance of student Al use, and assessment redesign that remains meaningful in the age of generative.

This book does not ask for a choice between embracing Al and resisting it. It offers something more practical and more honest than either position: a framework for governing Al wisely, with the activities, the professional language, and the classroom-ready tools to make that governance real, in whatever school, in whatever region, with whatever Teaching authority was never something Al could give. This book is a reminder that it was never something Al could take away either.
