Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the "Simon Says" game in improving students' listening skills, specifically focusing on their auditory comprehension abilities. Employing a pre-experimental design with pretest and posttest, the research involved first-year students at SMP Negeri 1 Tirawuta. Data were collected using listening tests administered before and after implementing the "Simon Says" game as a teaching intervention over eight meetings. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' listening skills. The mean score increased from 6.43 to 7.93 for comprehension of spoken statements and from 3.8 to 6.5 for comprehension of dialogues. Statistical analysis using a t-test confirmed the significance of these improvements (t-test values of 5.884 and 6.825 for spoken statements and dialogues, respectively, both exceeding the t-tabel value of 2.045 at df=29 and p<0.05). These findings indicated that the "Simon Says" game is an effective gamification strategy for enhancing students' auditory skills in English language learning, making the learning process more engaging and less stressful. It is recommended that English teachers incorporate this game into their listening lessons.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out how the self-efficacy impact Indonesian EFL learners’ learning achievement. This study was conducted at Sembilanbelas November University of Kolaka. The subjects were six 7th students of English Education Department. The study was employed a case study design. The instrument used to gather the data was interview guidelines to explore the sources of self-efficacy. Data of interview were analyzed based on procedure of data analysis that consisted of the data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusion/data verification. The results of the study shown that students who have high index achievement have high self-efficacy, judging by their confidence in answering questions and viewed from the sources of self-efficacy students who have high index achievement have high self-efficacy in mastery experiences and physiological states. Students who have middle index achievement have high self-efficacy because they have high confidence in answering questions, and viewed from the source of self-efficacy students who have middle index achievement have high self-efficacy in vicarious experiences and physiological states. Students who have low index achievement have low self-efficacy because they do not have high confidence in their ability to answer questions. So, students who have low index achievement have low self-efficacy in mastery experiences and physiological states. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that it is important to the students to identify their self-efficacy because self-efficacy is essential for learners to facing the problems in academic colleges. Also, students with high levels of academic self-efficacy are more likely to persist at challenging academic tasks and put effort to achieve success in academic college, while students with low self-efficacy tend to give up easily and not confident of being able to perform given assignment

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in enhancing business English fluency among 30 Women micro-entrepreneurs in Makassar, Indonesia, through offline simulations of real-world business scenarios. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining pre/post-tests (modified IELTS Speaking Test) with qualitative data from interviews and observations to assess improvements in linguistic proficiency and confidence. Participants engaged in eight sessions of CTL-based activities, including negotiation role-plays, product presentations, case studies, and collaborative proposal writing, aligned with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and ESP principles. Quantitative results revealed significant gains: mean IBECT scores increased from 5.2 to 7.0 (Cohen’s d = 1.46, large effect), while self-reported confidence rose by 35% (p < 0.05). Qualitative insights highlighted enhanced critical thinking and strategic negotiation skills through simulations (e.g., adapting to non-verbal cues, tactical decision-making) and vocabulary expansion via peer collaboration. However, time constraints in role-plays were noted as a challenge, albeit fostering adaptability under pressure. Despite limitations such as a small sample and short intervention period, the findings underscored CTL’s potential to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering actionable strategies for inclusive, context-specific training programs. The study recommended flexible practices—like dual-role-play formats—to balance realism and pedagogical depth, ultimately empowering women entrepreneurs in global business contexts.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membantu para mahasiswa pembelajar non Bahasa Inggris di Indonesia untuk mengurangi tingkat kecemasan mereka saat berbicara di depan orang lain. Penelitian ini membantu mengembangkan suasana yang mendorong siswa untuk berlatih berbicara secara mandiri. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan teknologi kecerdasan buatan atau artificial intelegent (AI) dimana suasana belajar mandiri dan menyenangkan dapat diperoleh dengan menggunakan Pengenalan Ucapan Otomatis atau Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) sehingga mahasiswa dapat berlatih berbicara secara individu tanpa merasa cemas atau tertekan, karena mereka bisa berlatih secara mandiri di depan laptop atau gadget. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian pengembangan ADDIE mulai dari mengalisis kebutuhan belajar mahasiswa, Analisis Produk, Desain Produk, melakukan validasi produk Pengembangan Produk, Implementasi Produk, dan Evaluasi Produk yang dapat digunakan oleh mahasiswa untuk berlatih secara mandiri. Setelah produk diuji dan dipastikan berfungsi dengan baik, produk kemudian diimplementasikan kepada para peserta. Hasil pengujian pertama menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi berfungsi dengan baik sesuai dengan tujuannya. Aplikasi memberikan skor 7 (tujuh) berdasarkan ucapan pengguna. Peserta 1, 2, dan 3 menerima skor dan umpan balik mereka tanpa kendala sama sekali. Dalam hal ini, para peserta menggunakan produk di ruangan yang tenang, di mana hanya ucapan mereka yang dikenali oleh aplikasi. Sementara itu, pada pengujian kedua, aplikasi memberikan skor 0 (nol) berdasarkan ucapan pengguna. Peserta 4 menerima skor 0 (nol) pada aspek akurasi, sementara peserta 5 mendapatkan skor 0 (nol) pada aspek akurasi dan kelancaran (fluency). Produk tidak dapat mengenali masukan ucapan dengan benar, sehingga menghasilkan skor dan umpan balik yang tidak akurat. Selain belajar bahasa Inggris teknik berbasis suara ini sangat bermanfaat dalam berbagai bidang, seperti membantu penyandang disabilitas, mengemudikan mobil dengan tangan, panggilan darurat, dan banyak lagi.

Abstract

This study examined how well chatbot-enhanced training can help computer science students understand technical vocabulary. Semi-structured interviews were combined with a pre-test and post-test design as part of a mixed-methods strategy. With a substantial effect size (Cohen's d = 1.59) and a mean increase of 12.7%, quantitative data showed a statistically significant improvement in vocabulary scores, suggesting major practical implications. A thematic analysis of qualitative responses identified three main themes: usability limits, motivation and involvement, and perceived benefits. Students commended the chatbot's ability to offer real-time, contextual feedback and promoted deeper learning by using examples that are interwoven with coding situations. The conversational tone, individualized contact, and emotional engagement of the chatbot were credited with increasing motivation. However, some students pointed up issues including repeating outputs, overuse of synonyms, and complex instances, highlighting the necessity of adaptive content calibration. These results demonstrated that, with careful integration, AI-powered chatbots can function as efficient, customized vocabulary instructors; nevertheless, wider adoption will require enhancements to content delivery systems.
