Abstract

Incorporating ICT competencies into curricula, syllabuses, or course outlines is crucial to facilitate 21st century learning. However, as a receptive skill that the learner needs to develop, listening also requires supporting materials. such as ICTs, which can support instructors in providing the curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to create listening course syllabuses for the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) that include ICT competencies. This research used Design and Development Research (DDR) as the methodology for their study. In this study, fourteen listening curricula from five Indonesian institutions served as the source of data. The following are the findings of this study: First, the ICT competencies are primarily incorporated, either explicitly or implicitly, in the following components: Learning Indicators (I), Learning Objectives (Lob), Teaching Method (TM), Materials (M), Assessment (AE), and Learning Media (LM). Furthermore, most integrated competencies in the current listening syllabuses are related to the utilization of audio and video files. Technology literacy, on the other hand, rises to the most applied level of ICT competencies, meaning that the ICT competencies included in the current listening curricula are still at the level of comprehension and use. Second, six methods for incorporating ICT Competencies into listening syllabuses were suggested by this study. Third, the study suggested creating integrated listening curricula for ICT competencies that encompass all ICT competency levels. Twelve components and a skill-based curriculum were used in the suggested curricula.

Abstract

This difficulty is particularly evident among students in English Education Department at one private university in Medan. This study aimed to analyze the multifaceted challenges faced by students of English Education Department in acquiring English as a second language. This study employed descriptive qualitative method and case study as research design. 44 students of English Education Department were taken as the sample. The instruments used to collect the data were questionnaire and interview. The results showed that there are some challenges faced by the students which are categorized into two: linguistic challenges and non-linguistic challenges. In linguistic challenges, there are four types of challenges: grammar, vocabulary, speaking/pronunciation, linguistic differences. For non-linguistic challenges, the challenges are lack of practice, lack of confidence/language anxiety, environment factor, learning process/learning method and lack of motivation. To overcome the challenges, some strategies are proposed for both categories of challenges. For overcoming the linguistic challenges, the strategies that can be used are: a) using assistive technology, b) note-taking and repetition, and c) looking up words or phrases in a dictionary. For non-linguistic challenges, the strategies are: a) create daily opportunities for practicing English, b) establish a supportive environment, c) build your confidence through regular practice and seek constructive feedback, d) adopt more effective learning strategies, and e) discover personal reasons for learning English to boost your motivation.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy on students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 32 Medan. The research was motivated by observations that students struggled with reading comprehension due to monotonous teaching methods that lacked student engagement. Using an experimental design, the study involved two groups: the experimental group was taught using the TPS strategy, while the control group received conventional instruction. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test comprising multiple-choice questions focused on descriptive texts. The results revealed a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of students in the experimental group. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 48.5 in the pre-test to 78.625 in the post-test, whereas the control group showed only a slight improvement, from 56.25 to 58.75. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test confirmed the effectiveness of the TPS strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. These findings suggest that the TPS strategy is a beneficial approach for improving student engagement and comprehension in reading, particularly for descriptive texts.
