Abstract

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in language education presents a valuable opportunity to improve teacher competence, especially in enhancing speaking instruction. However, many English teachers in MGMP Madrasah Aliyah under the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Soppeng Regency still face challenges in utilizing technology effectively and delivering CEFR B1-level speaking materials. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Sandy AI in improving teachers’ instructional skills, particularly in teaching expressions related to giving suggestions and making offers, and to explore the integration of AI in teacher professional development programs. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which includes four stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The study involved 10 English teachers and was conducted in two cycles. In Cycle 1, the researcher introduced Sandy AI and supported lesson planning using the Problem-Based Learning method. Based on the results and teacher reflections, Cycle 2 included further interventions such as CEFR expression training, peer mentoring, and AI troubleshooting workshops. Observation instruments and scoring rubrics were used to evaluate teacher performance in instructional clarity, use of AI, CEFR explanation, and student engagement. The findings showed a significant improvement in teaching performance from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2, with a 32% increase in average scores and 90% of participants meeting the success criteria. Teachers demonstrated better instructional structure, more precise explanation of CEFR expressions, and more effective integration of Sandy AI into speaking lessons. The results conclude that Sandy AI is a beneficial tool for enhancing speaking instruction and can be successfully implemented within a structured professional development framework in religious-based educational institutions.
