Speaking skills are one of the basic language skills that play an important role in oral communication. There are several problems with learning to speak experienced by the eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu. The problem is that students lack vocabulary, which makes it difficult to speak. In addition, students’ lack of confidence hinders their ability to communicate using English during the English learning process. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to prove that the utilizing of problem-based learning can improve the student’s speaking skill of the eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu. To answer the problems above, researchers used a quasi-experimental research design with cluster random sampling to choose the sample. The population of this research were students from grade eight students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu. The samples of this research were students of grade VIII Pattimura as the experimental group and grade VIII Jenderal Sudirman as the control group. To obtain data, the researchers used YouTube as a learning medium and a voice recorder as an instrument to obtain answers from students. The results of this research prove that the implementation of problem-based learning can improve students’ speaking skill in the VIII Pattimura. The results of this research can help teachers find a new method that is designed to make students actively participate in expressing their ideas and opinions in English.

Abstract

The challenge of mastering English pronunciation poses significant problems for Indonesian students, who are accustomed to their native language. The English Education Study Program aims to cultivate proficient English speakers; however, many learners struggle with pronunciation despite this goal. This research aims to investigate the pronunciation problems encountered by EFL learners and to find out the underlying factors affecting the problems. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 20 participants of third-semester English Education Study Program. Data were gathered through pronunciation tests, questionnaires, and interviews. The findings reveal that the primary pronunciation problems lie in segmental features, particularly with fricative consonant sounds /v/, /ð/, /ʒ/, /θ/, and /z/, as well as vowel sounds /æ/, /ɔ:/, /ɜ:/, /u:/, and /ɑː/. These problems predominantly arise from the absence of similar sounds in Indonesian, leading to systematic substitutions with more familiar phonemes. Additionally, inconsistencies in English phonetics and the divergence between written and spoken forms exacerbate these problems. The research identifies four main factors affecting pronunciation problems: (1) the influence of native language, (2) age, (3) amount of exposure to English, and (4) phonetic coding ability. The implication of this research suggest that instructors incorporate phonetics training into their curriculum to aid students in improving their pronunciation skills.

Abstract

Comprehending reading text in many genres is one of the main goals in learning English at the Junior High School level. Many innovative methods have been adapted and implemented by numerous scholars to improve this receptive skill. Thus, this study exposes the effectiveness of the Global Method to improve reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Sigi and focuses on Narrative text. A quasi-experimental design was utilized involving two classes: an experimental class taught using the Global Method and a control class taught using conventional methods. A total of 46 students participated in this study. Both groups were given pre-tests and post-tests to measure their reading comprehension before and after the treatment. Paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests are applied to determine the significance differences between the two groups. The results present that the experimental class achieves a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with the mean score increasing from 66.91 in the pre-test to 87.91 in the post-test. In contrast, the control class points out a smaller improvement, with mean scores rising from 61.70 to 73.35. Statistical analysis confirmed that the Global Method has a significant positive effect on students’ reading comprehension (the p-value 0.001 lower than 0,05). Therefore, the Global Method is more effective than conventional teaching methods in enhancing students’ ability to understand narrative texts. It is recommended that English teachers incorporate this method into their instructional reading practices to support students’ comprehension development.

Abstract

Vocabulary forms the essential basis for students’ language proficiency, supporting their growth in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. A well-developed vocabulary not only improves comprehension but also enables effective communication in both oral and written contexts. This research aims to evaluate the impact of Index Card Match method on the vocabulary development of eighth-grade students of Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Negeri 9 Palu, highlighting the importance of vocabulary in English learning and the need for interactive and effective teaching methods to develop students’ vocabulary skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group taught using Index Card Match and a control group receiving conventional method. A sample of 64 students was selected through cluster random sampling from total population of 352 eighth-grade students, ensuring representativeness. This research utilized a set of 10 multiple choice questions and 10 matching items as instruments, which has been validated through evaluation and testing to ensure reliability. The findings indicated that the mean pre-test score for the experimental group was 47.81, compared to 49.22 for the control group. In contrast, the post-test mean score for the experimental group rose to 69.69, while the control group scored 42.03. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed due to the non-normal distribution of the data, revealing a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.05). In short, this indicates that the Index Card Match method positively impacts vocabulary development, accentuating its academic and pedagogical significance in improving students’ language skills.

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.
