Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is crucial for facilitating the acquisition of language skills. This research aims to identify students' difficulties with vocabulary mastery in English Language Education at the university level. A quantitative research approach was used, focusing on first-semester students in Class A as the research sample and Class B for test trials. The sample consisted of 33 students (13 males and 20 females) from the English Language Education program at FKIP Universitas Islam Riau. The study employed a vocabulary test in multiple-choice format, and simple purposive sampling was used to distribute the test. The test link was shared via the class chairman, and SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis. The research identified students' difficulties in vocabulary mastery through their test results. The results indicated an average student score of 69, categorized as "Good." Specifically, 3 students scored between 86 and 100 ("Excellent"), 16 students scored between 66 and 85 ("Good"), 11 students scored between 46 and 65 ("Fair"), and 3 students scored between 26 and 45 ("Poor"). Thus, most students performed in the "Good" range on the vocabulary test. The analysis revealed that students faced significant difficulties with prepositions, verbs, and pronouns. In contrast, nouns and conjunctions were less challenging for students. Among the vocabulary areas, prepositions were particularly difficult for students, indicating that questions involving prepositions were the most challenging.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to discuss students' perceptions of the use of smartphone in learning new English vocabulary. An online questionnaire was used to obtain data from 34 of Indonesian EFL University students. The items of the questionnaire cover several aspects of vocabulary, including dictionary use, morphological analysis, and contextual analysis. Descriptive statistics of Likert-based questions were conducted to analyse the data. The findings of this study indicate that students perceive smartphone as facilitating several learning actions, such as contributing greatly to the acquisition of new English vocabulary, remembering, writing, and pronouncing words correctly. Apart from that, students also use smartphones because they are effective, especially in looking for synonyms and antonyms of words, thus really helping in the learning process. The findings of this study contribute to existing research on students' perceptions of the use of mobile applications for learning purposes, particularly in vocabulary learning.

Abstract

Speaking is a significant and fundamental skill that may help students enhance their ability to communicate with their classmates verbally. Henceforth, instructors or teachers need to incorporate some educating media which can develop the students’ English speaking competence. Therefore, this study aims to discover the viability of news and media literacy for speaking practice at an advanced education level. The researchers used experimental research and took two groups as the sample of this study. There were experimental groups in class 4b and a control group in 4a class that comprised 35 students for each class. Moreover, the speaking test, mainly pre-test and post-test in both experimental class and control class, was also used as gathering information of the research. This research found that the difference between pre-test and post-test average speaking practice results was -24.540 to -17,689, with a 95 percent confidence range of -24.540 to -17,689 for this finding. Finally, this study discovered an average difference in students' speaking practice between the pre-test and post-test. Therefore, enhancing students use of news and media literacy is necessary for speaking practice and teachers need to encourage students’ use of technology to find out online sources as media literacy in learning the second language. They have various kinds of information from media sources and improve the advanced vocabulary that they used while practising speaking with their classmates. To summarize, integrating news and media literacy has a substantial impact on enhancing students' speaking skills among four-semester students of English Language Education in Pekanbaru.

Abstract

Critical literacy skills are essential for EFL students to effectively engage with and analyze diverse texts in an increasingly globalized world, yet assessing these skills in non-native English speakers presents unique challenges. This study aimed to develop and validate comprehensive rubrics for assessing critical literacy skills in EFL contexts, addressing a significant gap in current assessment practices. This study employs 4D model (Thiagarajan et al. (1974) on instructional development. It consisted of four phases: Define Phase, Design Phase, Development Phase, and Dissemination Phase. The instrument of this study was a set of a critical literacy rubrics encompassing five dimensions: clarity of format, clarity of content, clarity of scoring, readability, and clarity of language. The research participants in the current study were 50 students of English Language Education Study Program, two Critical Reading lecturers, and two experts as the instrument validators. The rubrics demonstrated sensitivity to different proficiency levels and effectively captured the multifaceted nature of critical literacy in EFL contexts. This study contributes a validated, comprehensive tool for assessing EFL students' critical literacy skills, with significant implications for enhancing critical literacy instruction, curriculum development, and further research in EFL education, ultimately equipping students with the necessary skills to become critically engaged global citizens. Keywords: critical literacy, critical literacy skills, critical literacy rubric, EFL students.

Abstract

The active learning component of the student-centered learning strategy involves students working in teams to complete projects and solve issues. They also ask and answer their own questions, discuss topics, and provide explanations in class. This study intends to examine how lecturers view the student-centered learning strategy when teaching intermediate grammar to second-graders in higher education. It also seeks to ascertain how effective this technique is in this setting. This study specifically responds to the following queries: 1). How do the teachers feel about implementing a student-centered learning strategy when instructing intermediate English grammar? 2). How do the pre-test and post-test results of the control and experimental groups compare? An experimental research design was used in this study. The control group and the experimental group are the two groups that make up this study.  First-graders in the experimental group were steered through student-centered education to improve their command of intermediate grammar. The findings demonstrated that student-centered learning was highly successful, while instructor perceptions were favorable, neutral, and negative. So, there are still pros and cons if teaching grammar uses a student-centered learning approach
