Abstract

This study investigates the use of ChatGPT-based interactive exercises to improve eighth-grade students’ vocabulary mastery at SMP Astra Makmur Jaya. The research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with an experimental and a control group. Students’ vocabulary mastery was measured through pre-test and post-test scores, focusing on two aspects: meaning and use. The experimental group received six sessions of ChatGPT-based, collaborative, small-group interactive exercises, while the control group was instructed through traditional textbook-based methods. The results showed that ChatGPT-based interactive exercises significantly improved students’ vocabulary mastery. The experimental group's post-test score improved to 82.32, while the control group's average score was 70.53. Further statistical analysis revealed that the t-counted value (3.92) was higher than the t-table value (2.008), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These findings indicate that ChatGPT-based interactive exercises effectively improve students’ vocabulary mastery by providing contextual practice, immediate feedback, and increased student engagement. Therefore, the findings indicate that ChatGPT can serve as an effective learning tool to improve students’ vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of English language learning. Nevertheless, many junior high school students encounter difficulties due to monotonous instructional methods. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Scramble Words technique on vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study involved 61 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 7 Palu, who were divided into an experimental and a control group. Data were collected through a vocabulary pretest and posttest focusing on nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. The experimental group was instructed using the Scramble Words technique, whereas the control group received conventional teaching. Based on the analysis, the experimental group showed superior gains in vocabulary mastery compared to the control group. This difference was statistically significant, as evidenced by the t-test, which showed that the calculated t-value exceeded the t-table value at the 0.05 level. These findings suggest that the scramble words technique is an effective and engaging approach for enhancing vocabulary mastery among junior high school students.

Abstract

The objectives of this research are to describe how flashcards are implemented in vocabulary instruction and how students learn vocabulary through their use. This research applied a qualitative design by using a library research method. The data sources were obtained from libraries and online academic databases. The data were analyzed using content analysis, which involved identifying, categorizing, and describing the information from the selected studies. The six previous studies analyzed in this research were conducted by Yusriadi (2021), Mita Agustina Hediyati (2021), Widya Astuti (2022), Fitri Harianingsih (2023), Lisa Febrianti (2024), and Yudit Ba’dung (2024). The results of the data analysis showed that flashcards were used in various ways depending on students’ levels, classroom conditions, and the research design. Generally, the teaching procedures involved introducing vocabulary using flashcards, explaining word meanings through pictures, practicing pronunciation, and reinforcing learning through drilling and repetition activities. The findings revealed that students learned vocabulary effectively through flashcards. Flashcards helped students understand vocabulary more easily through visual media, improve pronunciation through repetition, and remember vocabulary through continuous practice. In quantitative studies, students showed improvement in vocabulary mastery, as indicated by higher post-test scores than pre-test scores, while in qualitative studies, students demonstrated greater engagement, motivation, and understanding of vocabulary. Overall, this study concludes that flashcards are an effective medium that supports both teaching and learning in vocabulary instruction.

Abstract

The widespread use of TikTok among students has increased their exposure to English–Indonesian code-mixing, which may influence vocabulary learning. However, empirical evidence regarding the effect of code-mixed TikTok content on students’ vocabulary development remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of TikTok content containing English–Indonesian code-mixing on students’ vocabulary development at SMAN 1 Sojol. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. The participants were 27 students from class X-C, selected through purposive sampling. Vocabulary tests and classroom observations were used as research instruments, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with the mean score increasing from 57.78 in the pre-test to 74.63 in the post-test, resulting in an average gain of 16.85 points. The statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the treatment. These findings suggest that exposure to code-mixed TikTok content effectively enhances students’ vocabulary acquisition by providing contextual, engaging, and multimodal language input. Thus, TikTok can be considered an effective supplementary learning tool to support English vocabulary development.

Abstract

Many junior high school students experience difficulty actively using English vocabulary in authentic communication, and their level of learning motivation may contribute to this difficulty. This study aimed to examine the correlation between English learning motivation and daily vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Palu. A quantitative correlational research design was employed. The population consisted of 131 students, and 50 students were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative, and instrumental motivation, and a 20-item multiple-choice test assessing daily vocabulary mastery. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation analysis due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed that students’ motivation was generally high (M = 77.04), and their daily vocabulary mastery was at a good level (M = 74.20). A very strong, statistically significant positive correlation was found between the two variables (r = 0.876, p < 0.01). These findings indicate that higher motivation is strongly associated with better daily vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study examines speech anxiety among sixth-semester English Education students at Tadulako University, highlighting the ongoing challenges that hinder students' ability to communicate confidently despite having taken various speaking courses. This study aims to identify the main factors contributing to speaking anxiety and analyze the coping strategies used by students to overcome these psychological barriers in the classroom context. Using a mixed-methods design that sequentially combined qualitative and quantitative methods, this study first collected quantitative data through a questionnaire administered to sixth-semester students to measure anxiety levels and identify contributing factors, followed by semi-structured interviews with selected participants to gain deeper insights into their personal experiences and management strategies. Findings indicate that speaking anxiety primarily stems from two interrelated domains: psychological factors, including fear of negative evaluation, lack of confidence, and perfectionism; and linguistic factors, such as limited vocabulary, grammatical uncertainty, and pronunciation difficulties. Students reported using various coping mechanisms, ranging from thorough preparation and collaboration with peers to relaxation techniques and talking. This study emphasizes that speaking anxiety is not merely temporary nervousness, but rather a complex phenomenon that affects student participation in class, learning motivation, and their perception of themselves as future English language educators. This highlights the need for a more supportive learning environment and targeted interventions to address the emotional and linguistic dimensions of this challenge.

Abstract

Students’ speaking skills in EFL classrooms are often limited by low confidence, limited practice, and less interactive teaching techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of semi-scripted role play in enhancing the speaking skills of EFL students at MAN 1 Palu. This research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental and a control group. The participants were 34 eleventh-grade students, with 17 in each group. The experimental group was taught using semi-scripted role play, while the control group received conventional speaking instruction. Data were collected through speaking pre-tests and post-tests assessing students’ fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the Mann–Whitney U test to assess differences between the two groups. The results revealed that students in the experimental group showed greater improvement in speaking skills than those in the control group, and the Mann–Whitney U test indicated a significant difference in post-test scores between the groups at the 0.05 significance level. These findings demonstrate that semi-scripted role-play is an effective teaching technique for improving students’ speaking skills by providing structured support while encouraging active, meaningful communication.
