Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of Picture to improve the ability to master English vocabulary of grade V students of SDN 1 Beleka for the 2023/2024 school year. In data collection researchers use observation, test and documentation techniques. The data were analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The study was conducted in 2 cycles starting with preliminary studies. During the study, researchers found that in the pre-cycle, the level of students' vocabulary mastery ability was still low, which was 55.8% in the range of 40% - 55%. In the first cycle after students were given actions using Picture, the student's ability level increased to 61.5% and entered the medium criteria (56%-75%). In cycle II after students were given actions based on observations in cycle I, students' vocabulary mastery ability increased to 78.3% so that it was included in the high criteria (76%-100%). From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of Picture can increase student learning activities and increase vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of podcast-based learning in enhancing students’ listening skills at SMAN 1 Praya. Listening is considered one of the most challenging skills in English language learning because students are required to understand pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and meaning simultaneously. Many students experience difficulties in listening comprehension due to limited exposure to authentic English materials and conventional teaching methods. Therefore, podcast-based learning was implemented as an alternative strategy to improve students’ listening competence. This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants consisted of one class of tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Praya. Data were collected through listening tests, classroom observations, and student interviews. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ listening performance after the implementation of podcast-based learning, as indicated by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. Students also demonstrated better ability in identifying main ideas, understanding specific information, recognizing vocabulary in context, and interpreting spoken messages. Furthermore, students showed positive responses toward the use of podcasts because they created a more engaging, flexible, and enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, podcast-based learning can be considered an effective strategy for improving students’ listening skills and motivation in English language learning.
