Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of the shadowing technique on improving the speaking skills of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu, particularly in terms of accuracy and comprehensibility. Shadowing is a learning method that involves listening to and immediately repeating the speech of a native speaker to develop natural pronunciation, intonation, and sentence structure. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The subjects were 27 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an oral speaking test that focused on two assessment aspects: accuracy and comprehensibility. The results showed an increase in the students’ average score from 42.12 in the pre-test to 62.03 in the post-test. The hypothesis testing using a t-test revealed that the t-count value (3.936) was higher than the t-table value (1.706) at a 0.05 significance level, indicating that the hypothesis was accepted. This means that the shadowing technique was effective in improving students’ speaking skills, especially in helping them overcome difficulties in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Based on these findings, the shadowing technique can be considered an effective and interactive strategy for teaching speaking in English language classrooms.

Abstract

AbstractTikTok platform has been one of innovative social media in bridging English Language Teaching (ELT). Thus, this study aims to prove whether the use of the TikTok platform, especially the duet and vlog video features can improve the speaking skills of tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Moutong. Three components of speaking skills, namely fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility were the focus of this study. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was utilized. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample size of 31 students. The data were collected through speaking tests in terms of pre-test and post-test. The analysis results point out that the mean pre-test score of the students was 40, while the mean post-test score increased to 64. The statistical test used a t-test with degrees of freedom (df) = n – 1 = 31 – 1 = 30, resulting in a t-counted value of 16,30, while the t-table value at the 0.05 significance level was 2,042. Thus, the t-counted value is higher than the t-table value, so the research hypothesis is accepted. This proves that the use of the TikTok platform can improve students' speaking skills, particularly in terms of fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. These findings suggest that teachers can use TikTok as an effective alternative tool in English-speaking learning to improve students' motivation, creativity, and participation in class.Keywords: Accuracy, Comprehensibility, Fluency, Speaking, TikTok platform
