Abstract

This study analyzes common errors made by students in constructing simple past tense interrogative sentences, focusing on English language learners at STAIN Mandailing Natal who have completed the Intermediate Grammar course. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze the types of errors that students often encounter when constructing simple past tense interrogative sentences, such as incorrect verb forms after the auxiliary verb “did”, confusion between positive, negative, and interrogative forms, and inappropriate placement of auxiliary verbs. The findings indicate that these errors stem from a lack of understanding of tense structures and a lack of practice in constructing interrogative sentences. This study highlights the importance of grammar in effective communication and suggests that teachers implement targeted teaching strategies to address these common errors. By identifying specific areas where students experience difficulties, this study aims to contribute to better teaching methods and improve students’ proficiency in using simple past tense interrogative sentences. Ultimately, this study underlines the importance of integrating grammar education into the English curriculum to foster better language acquisition and communication skills among learners.

Abstract

The study employed a qualitative research design with interviews as the primary instrument of data collection. The participants of this research were eleventh-grade students who had experience in using the application. The focus of the study was on three main aspects: the ways in which students use the SpeakPal application in their learning process, their perceptions of the advantages and usefulness of this tool to increase speaking ability, and the challenges they encounter during its implementation.The findings revealed that most students expressed positive perceptions toward the application. They viewed Speak Pal as a practical, enjoyable, and helpful tool that provides opportunities to practice speaking at any time and in any place, beyond classroom limitations. The features offered, such as daily speaking exercises, pronunciation practice, and interactive conversations, were considered effective in building students’ confidence, enriching vocabulary, and supporting independent learning. In addition, SpeakPal was reported to reduce feelings of shyness and nervousness, thus increasing students’ fluency when speaking English. Nevertheless, some obstacles were identified, including unstable internet connectivity, restricted access to premium features, and occasional difficulty in understanding automated feedback provided by the application.In conclusion, the study emphasizes that SpeakPal significantly contributes to students’ speaking development. The findings further suggest that integrating applications like Speak Pal into English learning can enhance motivation, foster learner autonomy, and improve students’ overall speaking proficiency.
