Abstract

This study investigates the impact of YouTube animated videos on students’ motivation and vocabulary development in learning English at SDN 26 Palu. In recent years, technology integration in language education has become crucial for enhancing young learners’ engagement and comprehension. However, few studies have examined the specific effects of YouTube animated videos within Indonesian public elementary school contexts. This study employed a mixed-methods design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design measured vocabulary improvement, while interviews and classroom observations explored students’ motivation. The participants consisted of 15 sixth-grade students who took part in six meetings over two weeks. The findings revealed that the use of YouTube animated videos significantly enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery and motivation in learning English. Quantitative data showed a mean increase of 10.2 points from pre-test to post-test, while qualitative data indicated that students found the videos engaging and enjoyable. It is concluded that YouTube animated videos are effective and accessible media for improving English vocabulary and sustaining motivation among elementary learners.

Abstract

This research focuses on effectiveness of Think-Pair-Share (TPS) method for developing speaking or communicating skills of SMK Negeri 1’s tenth-grade culinary arts students. This research applied a quasi-experimental design with a pair of different kinds of groups: experimental and control. The experimental group was obtained treatment by implementing Think-Pair-Share method, while the conventional approach was used to teach the control group. Pre and post-tests assessed students' speaking skills regarding accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. The findings revealed that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) method significantly increased students' speaking proficiency, as seen by a mean score increase in the experimental group from 40.15 to 51.50. The Mann-Whitney test proved major differences between each of the groupings (p < 0.05). Indicating the TPS improves speaking proficiency. The data indicate that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) is such a successful cooperative learning strategy which increases student engagement, reduces speaking fear, and improves communicative competence in English.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent of EFL students’ understanding of the suffix -en in English word formation at Tadulako University. This research employs a descriptive quantitative design, with data collected through a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire focusing on recognition, word formation, and meaning of the suffix -en. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students experience low difficulty in recognizing the suffix -en, moderate difficulty in understanding its meaning, and high difficulty in word formation using the suffix -en. These results suggest that students’ difficulties lie mainly in productive and semantic aspects rather than in formal recognition, indicating the need for explicit instruction focusing on word formation practice and contextualized meaning analysis.

Abstract

Many seventh-grade students struggle with speaking skills due to limited linguistic knowledge and speaking anxiety, despite the expectations of the Merdeka Curriculum for junior high school learners to communicate effectively in English. To address these challenges, group work is often recommended as a strategy to reduce anxiety and increase student participation. However, most previous studies were conducted at higher education levels, leaving limited evidence for younger learners. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether group work significantly improves the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 18 Palu. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving two intact classes of 28 students each. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test consisting of three oral questions assessing fluency and comprehensibility. The treatment will be administered over six sessions, from the second to the seventh meeting. The experimental group will use the group work technique, while the control group will receive conventional instruction. The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U Test because the scores were not normally distributed. The findings showed that although both groups demonstrated increased mean scores from pre-test to post-test, the significance value (p = 0.113) exceeded the 0.05 threshold. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) was accepted, indicating that group work did not produce a statistically significant improvement in students’ speaking skills. These results suggest that group work may require longer implementation or additional support to yield stronger effects for junior high school learners.

Abstract

Willingness to communicate (WTC) has emerged as a critical psychological construct mediating between linguistic competence and actual language use, yet its influence on speaking performance remains underexplored in Indonesian EFL contexts through learners' lived experiences. This qualitative study employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to investigate how English Education students at Universitas Tadulako experience and interpret the ways WTC shapes their English-speaking performance. Three undergraduate students (semesters 3-5) participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews, with findings triangulated through a lecturer interview. Systematic IPA analysis revealed four superordinate themes: (1) WTC as Dynamic Social-Cognitive State, fluctuating with context rather than functioning as a stable trait; (2) The Fluency-Accuracy Paradox, whereby students universally prioritize comprehensibility over grammatical correctness as a strategic coping mechanism; (3) Fear as Cultural-Pedagogical Construct, wherein judgment anxiety rooted in Indonesian educational culture inhibits WTC despite supportive teaching; and (4) The Preparation Imperative, in which advance notice and cognitive readiness universally facilitate WTC while spontaneous demands trigger defensiveness. Findings demonstrate that WTC operates as a multi-dimensional construct shaped by individual motivation, social ecology, cultural context, and pedagogical environment. Practical implications include creating psychologically safe environments, validating fluency-first strategies, and scaffolding spontaneity through preparation.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of pair-work activities in developing students’ speaking confidence at SMAN 5 Palu. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, four Grade 11 students were purposively selected based on varying levels of speaking confidence. Data were collected through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that pair-work activities create a supportive, low-anxiety environment that encourages students to speak more freely. Students reported feeling more comfortable, less nervous, and more motivated when interacting with a peer instead of speaking individually or in front of the whole class. Despite challenges such as limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, and fear of making mistakes, pair-work activities helped reduce anxiety and increased communication effort. The study concludes that pair-work is an effective strategy for improving speaking confidence and suggests that teachers integrate more structured and supportive pair-speaking tasks in classroom practice.

Abstract

This study examines students' motivation to use TikTok as a language-learning medium and explores how the quality of TikTok content influences their motivation to learn English. The focus is on intrinsic motivations such as enjoyment, curiosity, and personal interest, as well as extrinsic motivations such as academic goals, career preparation, and social recognition. A qualitative research design was chosen, comprising interviews with three students in the English Language Teaching program at Tadulako University. The results showed that the participants used TikTok because of its short, engaging, and interactive video format, which made learning more entertaining and less formal. Intrinsically, they experienced increased interest and satisfaction when engaging with creative English content. Extrinsically, they were motivated by the desire to improve their language skills, achieve academic success, and prepare for a future career as an English teacher. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the quality of TikTok content significantly influenced students' motivation. Clear, concise, and well-structured learning content promotes understanding and confidence, while content that was overly entertainment-oriented or unclear can reduce learning effectiveness. Overall, the study concluded that TikTok could serve as a supportive learning medium when students intentionally selected high-quality educational content to support their language learning goals.
