For this purpose, teachers can take advantage of question-and-answer activities by asking questions or questions in the HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) category. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to provide training for teachers so that they can improve their skills in preparing questions (comprehension questions) that are oriented towards critical thinking abilities. This PKM activity was carried out at SMPN 4 Narmada involving 22 English teachers who were members of the English Middle School MGMP in West Lombok district. This PKM activity takes the form of training or technical guidance in preparing questions which begins with presentation of material, questions and answers, group work, presentation of group work results, and evaluation or providing feedback. The results of this PKM activity show that the teachers were very enthusiastic in participating in the series of activities, especially when preparing questions in groups, presenting the results of group work and discussions. The questions produced by participants in groups show a focus not only on low-level thinking abilities but also on high-level thinking abilities. From the results of the existing questionnaire, in general the teachers stated that they welcomed this activity and hoped that there would be similar activities that could improve their competence as English teachers.

The research used descriptive qualitative method. The participants of the study were 8th  and 9th students of an Islamic junior high school Mataram. Those students are from different families with different local languages comprising Sasak, Sumbawa, and Bima language.

The findings showed that, two Sasak students struggle to pronounce the consonants voiceless fricative labiodental sound /f/, and the voiced labiodental fricative sound /v/, often substituting them with the voiceless bilabial stop sound /p/. Two Sumbawa students evidently make similar interference to Sasak students, and also struggle to pronounce the vowels open middle central vowel /ə/ and the half-open middle central-tensed vowel /з:/ as the middle front vowel /e/ and close front vowel /i/. One Bimanese student mispronounces the voiced alveolar plosive sound /d/, the voiceless alveolar plosive sound /t/ as the voiced labiodental plosive sound /D/, the voiceless labiodental plosive sound /T/ and three students are struggle to pronounce the vowel sound, similar interference to Sumbawa students. Further, there are six factors that cause interference in students’ pronunciation of English sounds. They are: the use of more than one language, insufficient learning period to train in English sounds, producing English sound using their speaking habits, lack of interest in English, lack of practice, lack of focus in pronunciation during classroom instruction.

The results obtained from the data analysis showed that the mean score of the pre-test was 30.71 and after treatment, the mean score of the post-test increased to 68.06. Data collection was divided into three steps i.e., pre-test, treatment, and post-test. A result with a significance value of 0.00 was found and the significance value obtained was lower than the alpha value i.e., 0.05.  The test results showed that the significance value (α) is lower than the value (0.00 > 0.05), meaning that the use of Game-Based Quizizz is effective. Therefore, the use of Game-Based Quizizz is very effective for teaching vocabulary to students and can effectively improve students’ vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

QuillBot is one of the online programs that can be utilized to enhance students’ writing skills. By integrating the paraphrasing tool QuillBot into the writing instruction, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of QuillBot paraphraser on the students’ paraphrasing ability. Additionally, this study sought to find out the students' opinions on paraphrasing and on the use of QuillBot in paraphrasing. Adopting a mixed method with explanatory design, this study employed quasi-experimental research with a one group pretest posttest design. There were 44 fourth-semester students taking the Academic Writing course in the English study program at the University of Mataram participating in this study. The students’ paraphrasing ability was tested before and after the treatment with both manual paraphrasing instruction and QuillBot paraphrasing tool. While, the students’ opinions towards paraphrasing instruction integrating the QuillBot paraphrasing tool was discovered through questionnaire. Further, the collected data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively to answer the predetermined research objectives. The results of t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the students’ paraphrasing ability before and after the treatment with significance value 0.000 lower than 0.05. In addition, most students responded positively to the integration of QuillBot in paraphrasing instruction, as it not only improved their literacy skills but also their motivation in learning paraphrasing in which the use of QuillBot paraphraser is simple, easy, instant and time-saving. This study highlights and confirms the potential of AI tools like QuillBot to enhance language instruction. Other reseachers might compare the efficacy of QuillBot paraphraser to other automatic paraphraser in writing instruction and use both questionnaire and interview to obtain more detailed information about the students’ attitudes or opinions.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the student's problems and practical needs in learning speaking. It employed qualitative methods that gathered responses from 40 out of 233 students in the second semester of the English Department at the University of Mataram. The questionnaire and interview were used to collect the data needed. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions and was distributed using Google Forms, and the interview utilized 5 questions to elicit more detailed responses from the respondents. The collected data were analyzed systematically through the data reduction, display, and conclusion stages. The findings of this research showed that the students not only had linguistic problems, such as lack of pronunciation, grammatical knowledge, and vocabulary mastery, but they also faced psychological problems including fear of making mistakes, shyness of speaking in front of the class, anxiety, and not having enough confidence. Further, to improve their speaking skills, the students required more practice and exercises inside and outside the classroom with suitable speaking materials for their level. Additionally, focusing on activities rather than just materials and providing constructive feedback whenever they make mistakes will be crucial for their learning.

Abstract

This study analyzed the problems and practical needs of English vocabulary learning among low-score students at a state university in Mataram, Lombok, Indonesia. To provide appropriate instructional materials, learning tasks, or assessment tasks, a need analysis of the student’s prior knowledge is the most important thing that should be done by a teacher. The research involved forty students and used qualitative methods, including questionnaires and interviews, to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods, such as data reduction, display, analysis, and conclusion. The results of this study show that there are problems in vocabulary learning faced by students such as problems with inaccurate pronunciation, problems in knowing the meaning of too much vocabulary, problems in dealing with grammatical alterations, and problems in using words appropriately. On the other hand, students' practical needs are engaging in learning with interactive activities in the form of games/discussions in class, practicing the words adequately, and asking for feedback for better learning improvement. Future research can further examine overcoming the problems found by linking them directly to practical needs.

The subjects were 15 male and 15 female students. The data were collected using a questionnaire of 40 items selected from Schmitt’s (1997) Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire (VLSQ). Interviews were also conducted to obtain more information from the students. The data was calculated using the Likert scale formula in the MS Excel software package. The result shows that male and female students employed more than one strategy in learning vocabulary. The dominant Vocabulary Learning Strategy (VLS) used by male students was metacognitive strategies (63%), and the least is memory strategies (47%). Meanwhile, the dominant Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) used by female students were metacognitive strategies (72%), and the least determination strategies (54%).
