Abstract

The study investigated the influence of the Spotify application on the vocabulary achievement of eleventh-grade students. The research identified the need for engaging methods to enhance vocabulary learning, as non-technology media approaches often failed to captivate students. Spotify’s audio media features, such as songs and lyrics, offered contextual and interactive learning opportunities. Previous studies and the theoretical framework suggested that digital platforms like Spotify could significantly influence students’ vocabulary acquisition by presenting language in dynamic and authentic contexts. This study took a quantitative approach, using a pretest and posttest experimental research design that involved 80 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used Spotify for vocabulary exercises, including listening to curated songs, analyzing lyrics, and completing interactive tasks, while the control group received conventional lessons. Data analysis through IBM SPSS 19 assessed vocabulary improvements between the two groups, highlighting Spotify’s pedagogical advantages in creating engaging and effective language-learning environments. The results confirmed the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ), indicating that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. The null hypothesis (H₀), which assumed no significant difference, was rejected. The results confirmed that Spotify enhanced vocabulary achievement. This suggested that integrating Spotify into language instruction not only influenced vocabulary retention but also fostered motivation and engagement among students, marking it as an effective educational tool.

Abstract

This study employed a quantitative approach with a true experimental method using a pretest-posttest control group design to examine the influence of using Jimmy Fallon Talk Show on students' speaking achievement. The sample consisted of two classes, each with 32 students, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected through speaking tests administered before and after the treatment and analyzed using normality tests and independent t-tests. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental class compared to the control class, with a higher average posttest score in the group that used the talk show as a learning medium. These findings have implications for teachers, students, and future researchers and provide new insights into the influence of using Jimmy Fallon Talk Show as a medium to enhance students' speaking achievement.

Abstract

Many students struggle with English fluency due to the use of traditional teaching methods that lack engagement and interactivity. This study aims to assess the impact of the Snowball Throwing model on pupils' speaking abilities at SMPN 34 Surabaya. A quantitative research approach was adopted, employing an experimental design that included both an experimental and a control group. Data collection followed a structured procedure, comprising a pre-test, the application of the treatment, and a post-test using procedure text material. This study used the cluster random sampling approach, which yielded a total sample of 58 pupils.  Class VII-I was selected as the experimental group in this case, while Class VII-H was used as the control group. A speaking ability test served as the study tool, and IBM SPSS Statistics version 19 was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a two-rooted p-value of 0.000, below the significance level of 0.05. Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was validated, indicating that the Snowball Throwing model had a noteworthy effect on students' speaking abilities.  It may be concluded that using the Snowball Throwing model influences students' speaking abilities because the p-value stayed below the significance threshold.

Abstract

The washback effect of English language assessments in junior high school has been a topic of debate among educators and researchers. While some argue that these assessments can have positive effects on students' learning, others suggest that they may have negative consequences. This article explores the washback effect of English language assessments at the junior high school level, examining both the positive and negative impacts. The study employs a review on predefined related literatures. The findings suggest that while English language assessments can have positive effects on students' motivation and study habits, they may also lead to teaching to the test and a narrow focus on assessment criteria. The article concludes with recommendations for improving the design and implementation of English language assessments to minimize negative washback effects.
