Abstract

Language assessment is a crucial component of effective language teaching. However, many pre-service teachers lack sufficient training in assessment practices, resulting in a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This study explores how pre-service teachers perceive the effectiveness of a project-based approach to designing and administering real-world language assessments and examines the challenges they face. Combining a closed questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, the study gathers quantitative and qualitative data from twenty-five pre-service teachers. The findings revealed that hands-on involvement in assessment design enhances teachers' understanding of key assessment principles, increases confidence, and bridges the gap between theory and practice. However, participants also faced challenges, particularly in ensuring the validity and reliability of their assessments. These challenges were manageable with the support provided in the course, indicating the value of structured guidance and expert collaboration in developing assessment literacy. The findings underscore the value of integrating theory with practice in teacher training, providing important insights for language assessment education. Future research could examine larger samples, long-term impacts of such training, and the role of digital tools in developing assessment literacy.

Abstract

This community service aims to analyze the effectiveness of using role play in teaching grammar to children at the Bukit Hermon Orphanage. Grammar and English language learning are important because English is an international language. The effectiveness of grammar teaching can be enhanced through the use of role play as a teaching method. The results of the study show that the role play method is quite effective in improving grammar knowledge. This research was conducted at the Bukit Hermon Orphanage because the students at the orphanage met the criteria needed by the researchers. The data collection method involved conducting pre-tests and post-tests to determine the improvement in knowledge in the samples after receiving treatment. The effectiveness of using role play in teaching grammar was measured through two tests: the pre-test given at the beginning of the session and the post-test given after the treatment or reinforcement by the researchers. The results of the study indicate that the use of role play in teaching grammar is quite effective.

Abstract

This experimental study aimed to examine the effect of digital resources on improving ESP learners' speaking skills. Using purposive sampling, 52 students were selected as participants. Quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using a paired-samples t-test, which revealed a significant improvement from the pretest mean score (M = 57.11) to the posttest mean score (M = 67.26), t(51) = 22.67, p < .00. The statistical results revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, indicating that the use of digital resources as pre-class material effectively enhanced students' speaking abilities. Qualitative findings from semi-structured interviews further indicated that students perceived the digital resources as supportive, motivating, and helpful in reducing speaking anxiety. These findings suggest that integrating technology through digital resources can foster a more supportive and interactive learning environment, ultimately promoting greater speaking proficiency among ESP learners.
