Training of Artificial Intelligence Applications for English Students

This community service is motivated by students in Bengkulu who are considered by many to be untouched by the updated technology used in teaching English. Therefore, it is necessary to provide knowledge about learning technology through training. The purpose of this service activity is to train and realize habituation of English students at Fatmawati Sukarno State Islamic University (UIN FAS) Bengkulu so they are able to apply Artificial Intelligence applications in learning English. In carrying out this activity, the service method is carried out in the form of socialization and training and evaluation. This trial activity is related to UIN FAS. UIN FAS is an institution that has the same vision as the team implementing this community service activity, namely to educate the life of the Indonesian nation. Evaluation activities in community service are related to all things that occur in the process of implementing activities. This starts from the initial stage of preparation which includes field observations to training evaluation. The result of this dedication is that AI applications can be used by TBI UIN FAS students. They were very enthusiastic to take part in the training. In addition, they provide a good perception of the implementation of this AI training to support the English learning process.


INTRODUCTION
Learning technology is something that must be known by educators and students, including English teachers, students or students.There are many learning media that can be used in the process of learning English for all levels of education.This media can be in the form of offline or online media, such as Google Classroom, Zoom, Blog, Google Meet, WhatsApp, Agora Video Call, Grammarly and so on.This application has good benefits for improving the ability of students or students in learning English.In addition, students are also assisted in the learning process Jurnal Inovasi Pengabdian Masyarakat Pendidikan E-ISSN: 2774-3667 P-ISSN: 2774-6194 Volume 4, Nomor 1, 2023 Hal.83-98 84 (Azwandi, Syafryadin, & Alamsyah, 2019).Even though, in 2023, the pandemic has ended, the use of English learning applications can still be used by students.
UIN FAS Bengkulu is one of the campuses in Bengkulu Province where there are many students who have not mastered technology-based learning.This is because there are English students who lack knowledge about the latest learning media.
Based on interviews conducted by several English students in January and February 2023, they still really need technology-based learning media even though the pandemic has ended.This is because, even though Bengkulu is the capital city of Bengkulu Province, there are obstacles in the use of technology-based learning media other than PPT.Apart from that, learning environment factors and English lecturers are also a challenge.In this case, students rarely receive training on the use of ICT in learning English.
Thus, learning technology is very crucial for English students and students in the learning and teaching process both in remote areas and in urban areas.Several previous studies have stated that ICT-based learning media has a good impact on improving student skills in obtaining good learning outcomes (Ann. 2010;Azwandi, Syafryadin, & Alamsyah, 2019;Anggitasari, et al. 2020;Syafryadin, Sujarwati, Sofyan , 2022).Moreover, now students should be able to make good use of learning media so that they can become creative and innovative teaching candidates who are able to stimulate their students to think critically (Syahrial & Syafryadin, 2020).
Based on this background and problem, one alternative that can be done is to conduct training on using technology applications in learning, namely the use of Artificial Intelligence applications as learning media for English students.This application is the latest application because it is able to facilitate teachers and students in learning English.This application can be used by teachers and students, both inside and outside the classroom.This application is also very easy to use both by using a mobile phone or computer.Training is an activity that is able to improve or develop a skill and knowledge that exists in humans, in the context of this service is an English teacher (Boadu et al, 2014).In addition, training activities are able to develop the skills of teachers in teaching so that teachers are constantly updated on developments in science and technology that can be applied in education (Kamil, 2003).In line with this understanding, Jehanzeb & Ahmed (2013) define training as a form of activity that is able to build creativity, skill, and broaden the knowledge of teachers.Certainly, training will run smoothly if there is good interaction between the trainer and the trainees (Sudjana, 1993).In connection with training, the community service activities that will be carried out aim to improve the skills and creativity of teachers in using technologybased learning applications, namely artificial intelligence (AI) applications.This is will help English teachers in Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an application that can be downloaded on a cellphone or on a computer.This application is very easy to apply by students and teachers or lecturers in carrying out the learning process, especially learning English.
According to Russell & Norvig (2010) The target audience for this community service activity are English Tadris students at UIN FAS Bengkulu, totaling approximately 30 students.These English students still lack an introduction to technology-based learning applications, namely Artificial intelligence (AI) because they mostly use WhatsApp, zoom, and give assignments offline.Therefore, the service implementation team consisting of two English Language Education Master lecturers will conduct the training.
In carrying out this activity, the service method is carried out in the form of socialization and training and evaluation.The description of the activities that will be implemented in this service is as follows.

Socialization and Training
This socialization and training includes an introduction to Artificial intelligence in learning that millennial English students can use.The use of this media can easily be accessed by millennial teachers and students through the Play Store application found on their Android telephone or can be downloaded via Google if using a computer.After the students were successfully introduced to the application starting from the existing features, the advantages and disadvantages of the application.So then training was held on using the application, where students had to prepare material in power point form.After the students tried to use the application personally in learning English.

Evaluation.
Evaluation in this service activity is in the form of the practice of using AI applications by English students at UIN FAS Bengkulu.From the results of this practice, it will be studied to what extent its impact and influence on the realization of technology-literate English teachers.Evaluation of this service activity will also be accompanied by interviews or interviews with the training participants to obtain more accurate information regarding the benefits and impacts of training activities for these creative and millennial English students.
Furthermore, if possible, service executors also distribute online questionnaires to service participants.The practice of using AI applications for students begins with informing them how to use the application.Then, a simulation of the use of AI applications is carried out.The students were very enthusiastic in participating in the simulation that was carried out.This practice was held on March 22, 2023.Students were instructed to install the AI application on the playstore or click on the link provided, namely https:www.pandorabots.com/mitsuku/,https://www.eviebot.com/en,https://replica.ai/.
