Abstract

Writing remains a significant challenge for EFL students, and the use of instructional media is a recognized strategy to address this issue. This study investigated the efficacy of cue cards in improving the writing skills of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study utilized a population of 366 students, with a sample of 63 students selected through purposive sampling: 31 students in class X-I (experimental group) and 32 students in class X-J (control group). The research instrument was a writing test focused on descriptive text. Because the data were not normally distributed, a non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was applied using SPSS. The results revealed a post-test p-value of 0.001, which is significantly lower than the 0.05 alpha level. This indicates a statistically significant difference between the two groups following the treatment, confirming that cue card media effectively improves EFL students’ writing skills. Consequently, this media is recommended as a valuable tool for enhancing classroom instruction.

Abstract

The widespread use of TikTok among students has increased their exposure to English–Indonesian code-mixing, which may influence vocabulary learning. However, empirical evidence regarding the effect of code-mixed TikTok content on students’ vocabulary development remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of TikTok content containing English–Indonesian code-mixing on students’ vocabulary development at SMAN 1 Sojol. This study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. The participants were 27 students from class X-C, selected through purposive sampling. Vocabulary tests and classroom observations were used as research instruments, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with the mean score increasing from 57.78 in the pre-test to 74.63 in the post-test, resulting in an average gain of 16.85 points. The statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant effect of the treatment. These findings suggest that exposure to code-mixed TikTok content effectively enhances students’ vocabulary acquisition by providing contextual, engaging, and multimodal language input. Thus, TikTok can be considered an effective supplementary learning tool to support English vocabulary development.

Abstract

Students’ speaking skills in EFL classrooms are often limited by low confidence, limited practice, and less interactive teaching techniques. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of semi-scripted role play in enhancing the speaking skills of EFL students at MAN 1 Palu. This research employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental and a control group. The participants were 34 eleventh-grade students, with 17 in each group. The experimental group was taught using semi-scripted role play, while the control group received conventional speaking instruction. Data were collected through speaking pre-tests and post-tests assessing students’ fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and the Mann–Whitney U test to assess differences between the two groups. The results revealed that students in the experimental group showed greater improvement in speaking skills than those in the control group, and the Mann–Whitney U test indicated a significant difference in post-test scores between the groups at the 0.05 significance level. These findings demonstrate that semi-scripted role-play is an effective teaching technique for improving students’ speaking skills by providing structured support while encouraging active, meaningful communication.

Abstract

This study was conducted to address the problem of low pronunciation ability among EFL students, particularly in producing accurate phonemes and applying correct word stress, which is caused by limited practice, low confidence, and lack of motivation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application in improving students’ pronunciation ability at SMK Yadika Palu. This study employed an applied quantitative research method using a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants were 40 eleventh-grade students, equally divided into two groups. The experimental group received pronunciation instruction using the ELSA Speak application, while the control group received conventional pronunciation instruction. Data were obtained through pre-test and post-test assessments focusing on phoneme articulation and word stress and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Mann–Whitney U test, and effect size calculation. The results showed that both groups had similar pre-test mean scores, indicating comparable initial pronunciation ability. However, the post-test results revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher mean score than the control group. The Mann–Whitney U test indicated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) with a very large effect size, demonstrating that the ELSA Speak application had a strong positive effect on students’ pronunciation improvement. Therefore, this study concludes that ELSA Speak is an effective Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) tool for enhancing pronunciation instruction in vocational high school contexts.

Abstract

This study aimed to find the strategies used by English teachers in teaching reading comprehension at senior high schools and to identify the most frequently used strategies. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews with 4 English teachers. The results showed that teachers used various strategies in teaching reading comprehension, and scaffolding, QARs, monitoring comprehension, and memorizing were the most frequently used strategies. These strategies were highly effective in helping students understand reading texts and improving their reading abilities. This study also revealed that scaffolding and QARs strategies enabled teachers to provide appropriate assistance and support to students who did not understand reading texts, allowing students to better comprehend the texts. The findings of this study were expected to be used as a reference for English teachers in developing effective reading comprehension teaching strategies.
