Abstract

The study explores the impact of English movies on students' vocabulary acquisition in Indonesia, focusing on how students acquire vocabulary through their habits of watching English movies. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyses the relationship between movies and English language learning. The findings reveal that regular watching English movie improved vocabulary, particularly difficult words. Participants felt more confident using new vocabulary in daily conversations and understood the meaning of words contextually. Additionally, this study identifies several key themes that contribute to vocabulary acquisition: input experience and understanding, the influence of subtitles, challenges and strategies in understanding dialogue, visuals as learning support, reflection and learning experience, and the impact of the habit of watching movies. The findings support Krashen’s Input Hypothesis theory, suggesting that movies can be used as an effective learning tool to expand vocabulary. However, the study has limitations, such as its limited sample size and the focus on one movie genre. Future research should involve more diverse participants, explore different movie genres, and use mixed methods to obtain more comprehensive data.

Abstract

Students’s confidence in speaking English is a crucial factor in the language learning process, particularly for English as a foreign language (EFL) students. However, many students struggle to develo their confidence when contributing to their lack of confidence in speaking English. Using a qualitative approach with Miles and Huberman’s analytical method, data were collected through guideline-based interviews with four EFL students selected using purposive sampling. The findings indicated that low self-confidence among students is influenced by several factors, including mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and psychological and emotional states. These four factors are interconnected and collectively shape students’ perceptions of their speaking abilities. The findings highlight the need for greater attention to psychological aspects and the learning environment to support the development of students’ confidence in speaking English.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using picture media in learning English speaking skills for eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Kendari. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design involving 32 students of grades VIII-8 selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through oral tests assessed based on aspects of fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests with the help of the SPSS program. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' speaking skills after learning using picture media, with an average score increasing from 11.81 in the pre-test to 21.19 in the post-test. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.000 0.05, which means there was a significant difference between the results of the pre-test and post-test. The use of visual media also positively impacts students' motivation and confidence in speaking English, as well as creating a more active and enjoyable learning environment. Thus, visual media has proven effective as a relevant learning strategy for improving students' speaking skills at the junior high school level.
