Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate how the implementation of a communicative participation point system could enhance students' speaking abilities. Specifically, the research aimed to determine whether the use of the participation point system influenced students' grades and how students perceived its role in developing their English-speaking skills. The study focused on both the learners' perceptions and their performance scores. A sample of 36 students was selected from a total of 150 12th-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Palembang. Utilizing a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design, quantitative and qualitative data were collected in two phases, with each phase informing the other. The findings revealed that the t-value (4.846) exceeded the t-table value (1.680), confirming that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was valid. This indicates that the application of the communicative participation point system had a significant impact on students' speaking performance and scores.

Abstract

This study set intended to determine whether or not students' reading comprehension may be improved by using the concept learning method technique. This study used a mixed method of methodology. Triangulation—questionnaires, interviews, and documentation—was used as a data collection method. The author employed data reduction, display data, and conclusion or verification data to analyze the data. Based on the conducted research, the study's conclusion was: (1) Based on the results of the questionnaire and interview, it can be concluded that using the Concept Learning Strategy technique in the learning process was beneficial. When studying reading comprehension, the idea learning strategy technique is more effective than the traditional teaching approach. Furthermore, there existed a discrepancy in the reading proficiency of students instructed through the concept learning strategy approach when analyzed from the perspective of self-determination. Additionally, there existed a relationship between the concept learning strategy approach and self-determination concerning students' reading comprehension when teaching reading comprehension skills through the principled learning strategy.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) in improving students’ English speaking skills. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group, the research involved 60 eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Pagaralam, divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received speaking instruction integrated with AR, while the control group followed conventional methods. Data were collected through speaking tests, questionnaires, and observation sheets. The results show a significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking performance, with a mean gain of 9.52 points, compared to 3.9 points in the control group. The paired sample t-test confirmed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the experimental group’s pre- and post-test scores. Moreover, the independent t-test indicated a significant difference in post-test results between both groups. Questionnaire analysis revealed that students responded positively to AR-based learning, noting increased motivation, enjoyment, and confidence. These findings suggest that AR is an effective tool for enhancing speaking skills by providing interactive, contextual, and immersive learning experiences. The study recommends further exploration of AR in other language skills and diverse classroom contexts.
