Abstract

Vocabulary is a necessary thing in a language. There is no language without vocabulary. Vocabulary knowledge is a must thing in learning a language. In order to understand what someone intend to express, we need to understand their word implication, word structure, and word decision. In order to express something clearly, we need to consider our word implication, word structure, and word decision. So, vocabulary holds a key of language comprehension. This study aims to discover the contribution of extensive reading to enrich students’ vocabulary, by utilizing pre-experimental design method to process the data gathered from the 11th grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Sidrap. The study finds out that there are little to no impact of extensive reading on improving students’ vocabulary. Keywords: Vocabulary, Vocabulary Mastery, Extensive Reading

Abstract

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) offers innovative strategies in pedagogy. NLP supports effective communication, personal growth, and transformative learning. This research examined the implementation of neuro-linguistic programming and its impacts on students’ preferred outcome of speaking skills. The data of this research were collected using ethnographic approach through interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The research involved twenty five students majoring in the English department at Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri State Islamic University Purwokerto, central Java, who were attending a speaking course in the 2023/2024 academic year. The implementation of NLP strategies (setting clear learning objectives, building rapport, sensory acuity, and flexibility) positively affected subjects’ speaking skill aspects (fluency, vocabulary mastery, mimicry speaking style and pronunciation, and effective communication) to meet their desired goals except grammar comprehension. However, the strategy did not work effectively on the improvement of grammar comprehension. Therefore, future researchers are encouraged to make improvement in this aspect. Future researchers are also encouraged to analyse the changes in students’ behaviours or attitudes in longitudinal research to further strengthen the findings of this research.

Abstract

Research on Diagnostic Assessment (DA) in remote schools in Indonesia is essential, as education in these areas has been a focus of the government attention for several decades and continues for future. This study provides an overview of teachers' readiness in implementing DA, particularly regarding their efficacy and self-perceptions. This study aims to describe teachers' confidence in conducting DA and their perceptions of its benefits for learning. Data were collected from 35 teachers with varying employment statuses and teaching experience using a questionnaire with linear-scale responses. The questionnaire measured efficacy across four aspects using twelve statements and perceptions across three aspects using nine statements. The questionnaire was distributed online via Google Forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in frequency tables. The findings reveal that teachers in remote schools have a high level of confidence in their ability to implement DA, adapted to the conditions of underdeveloped areas. Teachers perceive DA as fundamentally effective in transforming learning conditions, although it has not yet provided optimal benefits in various related aspects. Its implementation is also considered to be insufficiently intensive. It is concluded that teachers in remote schools are capable of implementing DA and are concerned about the current suboptimal execution of DA. The findings of this study suggest that while teachers in remote areas are confident in their ability to implement DA, further support and resources are necessary to optimize its use. Enhancing training programs and increasing the intensity of DA application could contribute to more effective teaching and learning outcomes, especially in under-resourced and geographically isolated settings

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of YouTube videos as a learning media in improving students’ learning interest at SMP Negeri 1 Watampone. The method used is quantitative, utilizing a pre-experimental design. The research involved 27 students from class IX CIBI, with data collected through pre- and post-questionnaires administered before and after a four-meeting intervention using YouTube videos from February to March 2025. The study employed a quantitative approach, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired samples t-test via SPSS v.25.0. Findings revealed a significant increase in students’ learning interest, with the mean score rising from 66.1852 (high category) in the pre-questionnaire to 80.1481 (high, approaching very high) in the post-questionnaire, and a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The results indicate that YouTube videos significantly improve students’ learning interest by fostering engagement, attention, participation, and feelings of pleasure. This study underscores YouTube as an effective educational tool to address the limitations of traditional teaching methods, offering practical implications for teachers to integrate multimedia into English instruction and suggestions for future research to explore additional educational outcomes.
