Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Listen-and-Draw technique in enhancing the listening comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah. Employing a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design, two classes were selected: one experimental group taught using the Listen-and-Draw method and one control group taught with conventional instruction. Pretest and posttest assessments were administered to measure student achievement. The results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group’s performance (mean posttest score = 47) compared to the control group (mean = 33). The t-test analysis (t-count = 9.97 > t-table = 0.0195) confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups. These findings support the use of the Listen-and-Draw technique as an effective instructional method to improve listening comprehension among junior high school students.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of English podcasts as a medium for improving the listening comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah. Motivated by students’ low listening proficiency and limited exposure to authentic English audio, this research applied a quantitative quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental class that received podcast-based instruction over six sessions, and a control class that did not use podcasts. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure listening gains. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean post-test score increased from 37 to 52, with nine students meeting the minimum passing standard, while the control group’s scores remained largely unchanged. A t-test revealed a significant difference (t = 7.39 > t-table = 2.009, p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that integrating podcasts into English instruction can significantly enhance students’ listening comprehension.

Abstract

This research investigates students' perceptions of the impact of using TikTok on their speaking skills, identifying the benefits and challenges they encounter in the Speaking Class of the English Education Study Department at Tadulako University. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study collected quantitative data through questionnaires from 19 students and qualitative data via semi-structured interviews with 5 selected participants using purposive sampling. The findings indicate that a substantial majority of students (89.5%) perceive TikTok as easy to use and beneficial for improving their speaking skills. Key features like "duet" and "stitch" were highlighted as highly effective for practicing pronunciation and intonation. However, students also reported significant challenges, including distractions from irrelevant content, encounters with inappropriate material, and feelings of awkwardness when creating videos. This study concludes that while students view TikTok as a fun and valuable supplementary tool for language learning, it is not considered a replacement for traditional methods. These findings underscore the need for educators to provide guidance on effectively utilizing TikTok while minimizing potential distractions.
