Abstract

As a result of their increased exposure to technology, today's students are skilled users of a wide range of digital gadgets in their daily lives. To solve difficulties, they can freely access knowledge across a variety of digital platforms; this ability has to be included into contemporary learning principles. The purpose of this study is to investigate how lecturers might modify innovative teaching methods to better suit the needs of their students. 125 people participated in the survey that we did; 59 of them were from scientific programs and 66 were from non-science programs. The study used observation sheets, interview guides, and questionnaires. The questionnaire was split into two sections: one measured students' opinion of the technology and pedagogical innovations used by lecturers, and the other their reactions to the classroom and educational system. Before any data was collected, the validity and reliability of the instruments were confirmed. The findings showed that students had preferences for different types of technology. Students in scientific programs liked interactive platforms like Edmodo and Google Classroom, while students in other programs liked webinars and video conferences. Additionally, the study found a relationship between the educational trends that lecturers apply, pedagogical innovation, and the learning environment. The results of this study are anticipated to improve instructional practices in digital learning settings and provide a basis for policymaking in continuing education.

Abstract

Low motivation tends to make students passive, indifferent, bored, and even frustrated in the learning process. As a result, they cannot maximally achieve their learning goals. This was what students at SMP Negeri 1 Atap Lik Layana Indah Palu experienced, as seen from the large number of students who were not focused when the teacher was teaching in class, lack interest in reading when given independent learning assignments, and appear bored during the learning process. The main factors causing this were a lack of human resources, facilities, and infrastructure, which result in monotonous and uninteresting learning methods or approaches. Therefore, more enjoyable, interactive and innovative activities are needed to create a good learning environment to increase motivation and stimulate students' interest in reading. The activity is the use of creative TikTok content. The applied method in this activity is training in which students are taught to utilize creative TikTok content in the form of reading challenges and English conversations assisted by the TikTok duet feature, as well as introducing short context-based story videos. The results of this activity point out that the students have responded positively. Through this activity, students' motivation, literacy skills, and English proficiency can improve

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) offers an instructional approach that emphasizes student autonomy, collaboration, and real-world application, which may enhance essay-writing ability. This study aims to (1) examine the effect of PjBL on university students’ essay-writing ability and (2) evaluate its effectiveness in improving writing performance. A quasi-experimental design with a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach was employed. The participants were students in Class B of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University, selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were gathered through pre- and post-tests and analyzed using a paired samples t-test and normalized gain (N-gain) scores. Qualitative data from learning logs and interviews were analyzed thematically to explain the quantitative findings. The t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement in students’ writing scores after the PjBL intervention (p = 0.000). However, the N-gain score was 0.1978, placing the effectiveness in the “low” category. Qualitative findings showed that students positively perceived PjBL, noting enhanced critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Nevertheless, several challenges emerged, including uneven group participation, cognitive overload, and misalignment between assessment and learning activities. Despite statistical significance, the low effectiveness suggests limitations in task design, assessment alignment, and learner readiness. These factors may have constrained the impact of PjBL on measurable writing outcomes. PjBL significantly affected students’ essay-writing ability, but its practical effectiveness was limited. Given the study’s reliance on a single purposive sample, generalizability is restricted. Future research should include larger, diverse samples and refine instructional design to maximize PjBL’s pedagogical benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using films as a learning medium to improve English vocabulary mastery in seventh-grade junior high school students. The methodology used is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design involving two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The sample size consisted of 64 students, divided equally into 32 students in the experimental group who were taught using films, and 32 students in the control group who were taught using conventional methods. The type of film used in the learning intervention was a short animated film that was story-oriented and had easy-to-understand dialogue, chosen for its relevance to the age and potential to attract students' interest. The main statistical analysis, specifically through an independent t-test, showed a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups. These results indicate that the intervention using films resulted in a substantially higher increase in vocabulary mastery. Quantitatively, the experimental group showed an average increase (gain score) of 25% compared to the control group, which only showed an increase of 10%. This was proven by calculations using the SPSS 24 software system . Thus, the main conclusion of this study is that the use of films is an effective and efficient learning medium for improving English vocabulary mastery in seventh-grade junior high school students.

Abstract

Digital transformation is increasingly influencing English literacy education in secondary schools; nonetheless, differences in technology utilisation and its effects persist among institutions. This study investigates the correlation between students' preferences and the frequency of digital learning methodologies and technology integration in the advancement of English literacy. A quantitative descriptive–correlational cross-sectional design was utilised, employing a 20-item Likert questionnaire. The population consisted of senior high school students in Palu City, Indonesia, with a sample of 469 students from five schools chosen via purposive and convenience sampling methods. The results show a very significant link between Group 1's choice for digital methods and Group 2's impact on technology integration and literacy (r = 0.872; r² ? 0.761). The total visual correlation is r = 0.918. The average perception score was M = 76.89 (SD = 9.23). These results show that basic digital skills have a big impact on literacy outcomes. This means that teachers need more training in digital skills and schools need better infrastructure to facilitate long-term changes in education.

Abstract

  The objective of this research was to prove whether using Choral Reading strategy can improve reading comprehension of the eight grade students of SMP Negeri 13 Palu. This research limited the use of Choral Reading strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension, which focuses on literal meaning and descriptive text. This research used quasi-experimental research design involving an Experimental class and a control class. The sample of this research were students of VII B as the experimental class, which consisted of 31 students, and the students of VIII A as the control class, which consisted of 31 students. The data was collected through pre-test and post-test. The result confirmed that the mean score of the experimental class had increased from 44.87 to 73.83. On the other hand, in the control class, it has increased from 48.29 to 62.64. The result of the test was analyzed statistically by applying 0.05 level significance. The researcher found that the value of the t-counted was higher than the t-table (4.59 > 1.67). In the other words, the implementation of choral reading strategy can develop students’ reading comprehension of the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 13 Palu. This strategy has a significant impact on the English learning process, especially helping students in reading comprehension to find information about the text and understand the entire meaning of the text, so that students can practice choral reading as their independent reading comprehension strategy in the future.

Abstract

This study explores the difficulties experienced by students in translating English texts at Tadulako University and identifies the factors influencing these difficulties. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving fifth-semester students of the English Education Study Program who had completed a translation course. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and analysis of students’ translation assignments. The findings show that students encounter several major problems in translation, including limited vocabulary mastery, grammatical errors, and difficulty interpreting homonyms. Vocabulary limitation was identified as the most dominant challenge because students often struggled to understand word meanings and determine appropriate equivalents in the target language. In addition, differences in grammatical structures, especially the use of the simple past tense, frequently caused inaccurate sentence construction. Students also faced difficulties in identifying the correct meaning of homonyms based on context. Furthermore, the study reveals that affective factors, such as boredom and low motivation, significantly contribute to students’ translation problems. These findings suggest that translation difficulties are influenced not only by linguistic competence but also by students’ attitudes toward learning. Therefore, translation teaching should emphasize vocabulary development, contextual understanding, and more engaging instructional strategies to improve students’ translation abilities effectively.

Abstract

Comprehending explicitly stated information in reading passages remains a persistent challenge for many junior high school students, often hindering their ability to understand texts at the literal level, which forms the foundation for higher-order comprehension skills. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether the visualization strategy significantly improves literal reading comprehension among EFL students. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 20 Palu using a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of 105 eighth-grade students from classes VIII A, VIII B, VIII C, and VIII D, with class VIII C assigned as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group through random sampling. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to collect data. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean score (78) than the control group (63) in the post-test, and the statistical analysis showed a significance value of p < 0.05, indicating that the visualization strategy effectively enhanced students’ reading comprehension, particularly in understanding literal information in descriptive texts. These findings suggest that visualization strategies can be integrated into EFL instruction to improve students’ engagement, comprehension, and overall learning experience.
