Abstract

There are two objectives in this study, namely: 1) to find out how teaching strategies motivate students in English classes. 2) students' perceptions regarding the role of teaching strategies on their English learning motivation. This research is a type of mixed qualitative and quantitative research (mixed method) that employs a standard survey method for quantitative data collection and a descriptive method for qualitative data collection in order to determine how and what students think about the role of teachers' teaching strategies on students' motivation to learn English. The study's participants were students in grades 10 A and 10 B at SMK Negeri 2 Soppeng, and it used two types of instruments: Google Forms and interviews.  The snowball technique was employed for interview sampling, with the first student chosen by the English teacher who taught in both classes, followed by the first interviewee, and so on. 1) The study's findings demonstrated that teaching strategy is one of the primary elements influencing students' learning motivation. Teachers must be highly skilled and creative in order to motivate pupils to be more active and involved in their education. This study reveals that the majority of positive facts from students indicate that English teachers who teach in the two classes have been able to motivate students to interact and build a sense of passion. 2) As a result of detailing the three types of teaching tactics used by the teacher, the students experienced a variety of benefits that improved the efficacy of their learning. Furthermore, it can boost students' passion for studying and give them the impression that learning English will have a significant impact on their lives in the long run.

Abstract

This study investigates secondary school students’ responses to the integration of YouTube Shorts and Microsoft Copilot AI in English grammar learning, assessed through the CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) model. Motivated by students’ declining interest in grammar and the limitations of traditional instructional methods, this research explores the pedagogical potential of combining short-form educational videos with AI-driven chatbots. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, a CRAAP-based questionnaire was administered to a purposively selected Grade VIII class at UPT SMPN 33 Makassar following an AI-enhanced grammar learning intervention focusing on parts of speech and tenses. Results from 29 respondents revealed highly positive perceptions across all five CRAAP dimensions, with every statement receiving a “Strongly Agree” rating above 75%. Currency and Relevance emerged as the most endorsed aspects, while Authority and Purpose, though still positively rated, suggested the need for clearer source attribution. The findings indicate that the YouTube Shorts–Microsoft Copilot AI collaboration not only effectively supports grammar comprehension but also aligns with students’ digital preferences and fosters learner autonomy. This study affirms the value of integrating multimedia and AI in language education and encourages future efforts to enhance credibility, transparency, and long-term engagement with such tools.Keywords: English grammar learning, student responses, CRAAP model, AI, short video social media, YouTube Shorts, Microsoft Copilot AI.

Abstract

 This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the question-and-answer teaching method in improving students’ self-confidence in speaking English. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 34 students from class X.E4 at SMAN 5 Jeneponto, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a speaking confidence test assessed using five self-confidence indicators adapted from Brown (2004), namely eye contact, facial expression, voice volume, fluency, and willingness to speak. The data were analyzed using a Paired Sample T-Test and N- Gain Score. The t-test result showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the students’ pre-test and post- test scores. The average N-Gain score was 0.19, which falls into the low category. Nevertheless, there was a positive shift in students’ confidence levels—from “Not Confident” to “Moderately Confident.” This low gain may have been caused by the short duration of the treatment. The study concludes that the question-and-answer method is effective in enhancing students’ speaking confidence, especially by creating an interactive and supportive classroom environment. Keywords: Question-and-Answer Teaching Method, Speaking Self-Confidence.

This study highlights the effectiveness of English Kids’ songs in improving Listening Comprehension. The researcher employs a quantitative method, using a sample of 30 fifth-grade students from SDN 5 Sungguminasa, selected through a convenience sampling technique. The instruments used in this study were a pre-test and a post-test, involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 15 students. In the experimental group, students were given treatment, specifically using English Kids’ songs in the English learning process, to assess the effectiveness of the songs in improving Listening Comprehension. Meanwhile, the control group did not receive the treatment being tested, but instead, they followed the standard teaching method already in place. This allowed the researcher to compare the differences between the experimental and control groups. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test with SPSS version 22 to determine the effectiveness of kids’ songs in improving Listening Comprehension. The researcher obtained a significant result of 0.013 < 0.05, indicating that there was a difference between the students who used English kids’ songs to improve their Listening Comprehension and those who used the standard teaching method at SDN 5 Sungguminasa.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in the Paragraph Writing course among students of the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The research aims to explore students’ perceptions, usage patterns, and attitudes toward AI-based writing tools, particularly ChatGPT and QuillBot. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four English Department students who reprogrammed the Paragraph Writing course during the 2024–2025 short semester. Thematic analysis revealed that students perceived AI as useful and easy to use, aligning with the constructs of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Students used AI mainly for idea generation, grammar correction, and vocabulary enrichment. While they showed positive attitudes toward AI, they also expressed caution about dependency and ethical use. The findings imply that AI can effectively support writing instruction if guided by pedagogical supervision to ensure critical and ethical application in learning.
