Abstract

English speaking skills are fundamental for success in the global era, yet many students face significant challenges in developing these abilities, particularly due to anxiety, limited vocabulary, and uninspiring instructional methods. This study explores students’ perceptions of using procedural texts as a strategy to improve their English-speaking fluency. Procedural texts, which provide structured and systematic language patterns, are believed to enhance students’ ability to articulate ideas coherently while reducing speaking anxiety. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving six vocational high school students majoring in automotive engineering, who have been selected by gathering students with the highest and lowest English scores from each class. From each of the three classes, two students are chosen, one with the highest and one with the lowest score, resulting in six participants. Each of the Thematic analyses was used to identify recurring patterns in students' experiences and viewpoints. This study holds significance as it provides empirical insights into alternative pedagogical approaches aimed at addressing common challenges to speaking proficiency among vocational students, an often-underrepresented population in second language acquisition research. The implications of the study suggest that integrating procedural texts into English instruction can effectively improve speaking fluency and reduce anxiety, particularly for students in vocational settings. However, the study's limitations, including the small sample size and its focus on a specific group of students from a single vocational field, suggest the need for further research with larger and more diverse samples to explore the broader applicability and long-term effects of procedural text-based instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of elementary school teachers in Balikpapan regarding the ongoing changes in Indonesia’s national curriculum, focusing on the shift from the 2013 Curriculum to the Merdeka Curriculum. Frequent changes in the national curriculum have led to confusion and varied responses among educators, particularly in terms of instructional adaptation and professional readiness. The purpose of this research is to understand how teachers perceive these changes, what challenges they face in implementing the new curriculum, and the extent to which they feel supported through training and resources. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design, using semi-structured interviews and classroom observations to collect data from nine teachers selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and develop categories based on participant responses. Findings reveal that while teachers generally view the Merdeka Curriculum positively emphasizing its flexibility, student-centered learning, and relevance to current needs they also report significant challenges related to limited training, unclear implementation guidelines, and mismatched support systems. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of how educational reforms are received at the grassroots level and underscore the importance of teacher involvement, practical training, and contextualized guidance in successful curriculum implementation.

Abstract

Listening is a fundamental skill in English Education programs, as it enables students to understand lectures, follow instructions, and participate effectively in academic discussions. However, many students still experience difficulties in achieving satisfactory listening performance, which may be related to how they apply learning strategies during listening activities. Among various learning strategies, auditory learning strategies are particularly relevant because they emphasize learning through spoken input. This study aimed to examine the application of auditory learning strategies and their relationship with English listening achievement among English Education students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 63 students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur. Data on auditory learning strategies were collected using a questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, while listening achievement data were obtained from students’ official listening course scores. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product–Moment correlation analysis were used for data analysis. The findings indicate that students actively apply auditory learning strategies across several strategy categories, with specific items achieving the highest total points in each section. The results also reveal a very strong and statistically significant positive relationship between auditory learning strategies and English listening achievement. These findings suggest that consistent engagement in auditory learning strategies is closely associated with better listening achievement in academic contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students' perceptions toward the use of TikTok as a digital learning tool in learning English vocabulary at SMAN 1 Loa Janan. The background of this study is based on the challenges students face in mastering English vocabulary despite years of formal instruction. In the digital era, TikTok has emerged as a popular social media platform among students and shows potential as an educational tool. However, students' perceptions toward using TikTok for vocabulary learning have not been clearly identified, particularly in Indonesian senior high schools. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research design with a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. There were 32 students from class X-3 participating in the study. Data collection was conducted through a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 15 items measuring students' perceptions across four dimensions: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, learning interest, and learning engagement. The results showed that the questionnaire was valid (Corrected Item-Total Correlation values ranging from 0.756 to 0.867, all exceeding 0.30) and highly reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.970). Descriptive statistical analysis revealed a mean perception score of 49.69 (SD = 14.16), which falls within the moderate perception category. The scores ranged from 19 to 75, indicating considerable variability in students' perceptions. Thus, students generally hold moderately positive perceptions toward TikTok as a digital learning tool for vocabulary learning, though significant individual differences exist. These findings provide valuable insights for educators seeking to integrate social media platforms into language teaching practices.
