Abstract

This study aims to determine the perceptions of English Education students towards educational podcasts as a tool to improve their listening skills. The subjects of this study were five students of English Education class E. The interview was used as the main instrument to collect data. The results of this study show that three English education students perceive that they use podcasts quite often to improve their listening skills. There are several reasons, namely podcasts have flexibility in viewing time, can increase student learning motivation, and also podcasts can increase student vocabulary. The other two perceive that they do not often use podcasts to improve their listening skill because there are several reasons, such as the videos they watch are sometimes too long and also the influence of networks that are sometimes less supportive so that they interfere with students' focus on watching podcasts.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes of English education students at Makassar State University's English Department toward English language learning during the fourth semester of the 2023–2024 academic year. Because the descriptive quantitative approach can be utilized to get information on students' perceptions of linguistic attitudes, the researcher used it as the design method. A questionnaire was also provided to gather data. Thirty students from classes A, B, and D at Universitas Negeri Makassar made up the study's sample. The sample was gathered using the Random Sampling Technique. With 15 (50%) students classed as having a good attitude and 15 (50%) as having a neutral attitude, the results demonstrated that students generally had a fairly positive and neutral attitude. Since they understand the many advantages of learning the language, pupils' motivation in English is inextricably related to their optimistic outlook. 72% of students strongly felt that it is very important for their academic and future professional lives, according to these statistics.

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.
