Abstract

This study set out to determine the nature of the difficulties students have when learning to speak and the contributing variables to these difficulties. In this study, descriptive qualitative method was employed, and questionnaire as well as interview were used as the instruments. The sample of this study were 51 students of Islamic middle school in Puding Besar District, Bangka Belitung Province. The result of questionnaire was analyzed by means of average. It was found that the students had problems in speaking, especially linguistic and non-linguistic problems. In linguistic problems, they were in high criteria, and in non-linguistic problems they were medium. It means these problems had to be taken seriously. Therefore, the teacher should pay more attention to what the students need. In addition, it was also found that there were some factors causing the problems: they lacked self-confidence and had low motivation. Thus, the teacher should make the learning process more fun and interesting in order to make the students motivated.

Abstract

This study set out to explore whether watching the English learning vlog "Bob the Canadian" made a significant difference in students' vocabulary development compared to those who didn’t use it. The research looked at four main aspects of vocabulary: word form, pronunciation, meaning, and usage in descriptive texts. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two seventh-grade classes with a total of 65 students, split into an experimental group and a control group. To track vocabulary progress, both groups took pre-tests and post-tests. The results, analyzed using paired and independent t-tests via SPSS version 26, showed a post-test score gap of 14.384 between the groups, with a standard error of 2.701. The significance level was 0.000—well below the 0.005 cutoff—indicating strong statistical evidence. Based on the findings, the alternative hypothesis was supported, while the null hypothesis was set aside. In short, the findings show that using the vlog helped improve students' vocabulary skills.
