Abstract

Writing skills are a difficult challenge for many EFL students who have little exposure to real language outside the classroom. Therefore, this research aims to explore the influence of using Canva in teaching narrative text writing to LTI Indo Global Mandiri Middle School students in Palembang and their perceptions of using Canva. The research design used was a quasi-experimental design. The sample for this research was classes VIII.A and VIII.B which consisted of 20 students from class VIII.A and 19 students from class VIII.B. The research design used in this research is a quasi-experimental design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, namely selecting certain individuals who are believed to represent the population studied. Data collection was carried out by giving a pre-test and post-test, then analyzed using a t-test (paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test) with the help of the SPSS v.23 program. The results of this research show that the p-value from the paired sample t test of 0.000 is less than 0.05, which means there is a significant increase in students' writing skills after being taught using the Canva application. The results of this research show that the use of the Canva application as a learning media can improve the ability to write narrative texts for class VIII students at SMP LTI Indo Global Mandiri Palembang.

Abstract

Recent research confirmed that idioms were one of the most complex aspects of learning English because their meanings were influenced by cultural differences, context, and limitations in the target language. Considering this fact, this study explored idiomatic expressions in the film Bilal: A New Breed of Hero to identify their types and meanings, while emphasizing the urgency of learning idioms in the context of English as a foreign language. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a discourse analysis approach, referencing Fernando's classification of idioms into three categories: pure, semi-literal, and literal. Data in the form of dialogues in the film containing idioms were analyzed through semantic and narrative context studies. The results of the study showed that the majority of idioms fell into the semi-literal categorization, combining literal and figurative meanings. In addition to functioning as stylistic elements, idioms also strengthened characterization, depicted conflicts, and represented Arab-Islamic cultural values. The film Bilal: A New Breed of Hero was considered a suitable subject for study because it presented the use of idioms in an authentic context while reflecting cultural values. Thus, this research was expected to contribute to the development of semantic studies, enrich language learning strategies, and enhance cross-cultural understanding.

Abstract

Writing is a crucial skill in learning English, yet many students, especially in vocational high school, still struggle to master it. One potential solution is the PLEASE strategy, a metacognitive technique that guides students through the writing process and helps them organize ideas effectively. This study investigated its impact on students’ writing. The aim was to find out whether the PLEASE strategy could significantly improve students’ writing skill. A quantitative method was used, involving 75 tenth-grade students of SMK Negeri 2 Palembang in the academic year 2024/2025. They were conveniently divided into two groups: X TKJ 1 as the control class with 38 students and X TKJ 2 as the experimental class with 37 students. The data were collected through essay writing tests on a report text over twelve meetings, including a pretest, treatments using the PLEASE strategy, a post-test, and a questionnaire. Results from the paired samples test showed a t (36) = -6.486 with p < 0.001, whereas the independent samples test yielded a t (73) = 2.489 with p = 0.015. These results indicate that the PLEASE strategy significantly improved students’ writing performance and can be considered an effective technique for teaching writing.

Abstract

Speaking ability plays a central role in English learning, yet many vocational high school students still struggle with issues such as restricted vocabulary, low self-confidence, and insufficient opportunities to practice. This research was conducted to investigate how far the Jigsaw technique can contribute to enhancing students’ speaking performance. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach involving two groups of learners: the experimental group, which received lessons through the Jigsaw strategy, and the control group, which was instructed using conventional teaching. The participants consisted of 68 tenth-grade students of SMKN 4 Palembang. Data were obtained from pre-test and post-test activities and were analyzed through paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The analysis demonstrated that the experimental group showed a meaningful improvement in speaking ability (Sig. 0.002 < 0.05), whereas the control group did not reach significant progress (Sig. 0.103 > 0.05). Furthermore, the independent sample t-test confirmed that there was a notable difference in achievement between the two groups (Sig. 0.008 < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that applying the Jigsaw strategy has a positive and effective impact on students’ speaking achievement, making it a recommended method in vocational high school English classrooms.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze the strategies used by lecturers in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The object of the study was English lecturers teaching English Banking courses to 6th semester students of the Islamic Banking study program at the Nahdlatul Ulama College of Sharia Economics, Bengkulu. This study employed descriptive qualitative research that explores learning models, methods, and materials that suit the needs of students in the field of Islamic banking. The data collection techniques were observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings showed that lecturers tended to adapt various teaching strategies that integrate communicative approaches, task-based learning, and the use of authentic materials relevant to the world of Islamic banking. In addition, collaborative approaches such as group discussions, simulations of banking service practices, and real case studies were also implemented to increase students' active participation. This teaching model was not only oriented to the mastery of language structures, but also to professional communication competencies that were in accordance with the work context and industry needs. The results showed that context-based learning, problem-based learning, and collaborative methods were the most effective strategies. Integration of Islamic banking content in English materials increases student participation and understanding. This study also recommends the development of an ESP curriculum that is more integrated with the expertise competencies of the study program, as well as continuous training for lecturers who teach the course to enable them to manage innovative, contextual, and responsive learning that meets the needs of the times. Keywords: English for Specific Purpose, Islamic Banking Students, Lecturer's Teaching Strategy

Abstract

         This study investigates the correlation between non-English speaking parents’ involvement, students’ persistence, and their English achievement among EFL high school students at SMA Negeri 11 Palembang, Indonesia. The research aimed to determine whether parents’ involvement and students’ persistence significantly influence students’ English achievement. A quantitative correlational design was employed, using two sets of questionnaires to measure parents’ involvement and students’ persistence, along with an English achievement test. The findings revealed no significant correlation between non-English speaking parents’ involvement and students’ English achievement (r = 0.090, p > 0.05). Similarly, no significant relationship was found between students’ persistence and their English achievement (r = 0.815, p > 0.05). These results suggest that factors such as parents’ limited knowledge of English, low self-efficacy, socioeconomic background, and weak parent–school communication may contribute to the absence of significant relationships. The study highlights the need for schools to strengthen parental engagement programs and to foster students’ motivation and self-regulated learning strategies to enhance English achievement.
