In today's interconnected world, being skilled in English is incredibly important. It opens up better job opportunities, and wider educational options, and allows participation in the global community. Therefore, inspiring students to learn English is crucial to showing them how it relates to their everyday lives. This study aims to determine the effect of English subtitles of movies on the vocabulary development of 8th-grade students in SMP Negeri 2 Airmadidi. This study adopted a preliminary experiment method. Thirty-two students participated in this targeted study. Subtitled films served as a medium to improve students' vocabulary acquisition, and vocabulary tests served as research tools. Researchers collected data through pretests, treatments, and posttests. Data were statistically analyzed and quantitatively described using SPSS 22 Edition. This study found that the mean post-test score was higher than the pre-test score (5.69 < 8.43). Also, the value of t-count is greater than the value of t-table. The results of students' scores on the post-test were higher than those on the comparison test, demonstrating the effectiveness of the treatment in improving learners' vocabulary acquisition. In summary, the use of subtitled films significantly improves students' vocabulary acquisition. This study strongly highlights that others are imaginatively exploring the use of film for a variety of abilities.

Abstract

The study aims to explore the relationship between students' anxiety and perception of speaking performance in English class. Moreover, the research aimed to discover students' anxiety levels and perception of speaking performance in the English class. 57 students (male and female) were selected in the following way using convenience sampling. The students selected a 5-point Likert scale to answer two questionnaires from Horwitz et al. (1986), which was adapted from Nilsson (2019); and Asakereh and Dehghannezha (2015), which was adapted from Rahimi and Abedini (2009). According to the study's findings, students' anxiety and perception of their speaking performance in English classes are negatively related. Thus, it may be said that students’ performance in speaking English was negatively related to their anxiety.

Abstract

The researcher did a study to investigate the impact of presentation techniques in elevating English-speaking skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. This study applied a quantitative approach and employed a structured questionnaire using Likert-Scale items to assess students' perceptions of how the presentation methods impact their speaking abilities. A sample of university EFL learners especially the students in General English class of Elementary and Pre-Intermediate I participated in the study, providing insights into their experiences with presentation-based learning activities. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between using presentation techniques and the perceived improvement in speaking proficiency. The findings reveal that students perceive presentation techniques as significantly beneficial for enhancing their speaking skills and fostering greater engagement and confidence during oral communication tasks. This research highlights the importance of integrating effective presentation methods in EFL instruction to promote learners’ speaking development. It provides recommendations for educators seeking to enhance language acquisition in the classroom.
