Abstract

This study explored the preferred language learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic - VAK) among ninth-grade students in English class and examined gender-based differences in these preferences, as well as the preferred classroom activities aligned with each learning style. Using a mixed-method approach, quantitative data were collected through the 24-item Barsch Learning Styles Inventory (BLSI) from 189 students and analyzed using SPSS. Qualitative data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with 10 students and analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that visual learning was the most preferred style overall gender, chosen by 68% of participants, followed by auditory learning (17%) and kinesthetic learning (15%). Gender differences were observed, with female students favoring auditory styles, male students preferring kinesthetic methods, and both genders equally preferred visual learning. This study also found that students expressed a strong preference for activities that align with visual learning, including the use of visual materials, highlighting or color-coding text, and incorporating symbols and animations. Additionally, activities involving such as independent reading, note-taking, and using videos or films were highlighted for their effectiveness in fostering comprehension, retention, and engagement. The dominance of visual learning styles emphasizes the need for educators to prioritize visual materials in their teaching strategies. However, the presence of auditory and kinesthetic learners highlights the importance of a multimodal teaching approach.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigates the iteratively refined Work in Pairs strategy to enhance oral English skills among 35 eleventh-grade Sundanese-speaking learners. Employing a two-cycle classroom action research design, the study addressed initial challenges in pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary. Data collection was comprehensive, utilizing preliminary classroom observations and audio recordings for baseline assessment, then consistently applying speaking performance rubrics, a teacher-researcher reflective journal, and student feedback forms/interviews throughout the cycles. Cycle 1, involving pair-based dialog, yielded modest fluency improvements. Reflection, revealing persistent L1 phonetic interference and vocabulary limitations, led to Cycle 2. This cycle incorporated rearranged pairings, audio listening, and targeted vocabulary lists, resulting in substantial gains across all areas, particularly fluency and pronunciation. The findings demonstrate the efficacy of the Work in Pairs strategy, especially when combined with targeted supplementary materials and iterative adaptation, in fostering holistic oral English proficiency in a multilingual context. This study offers practical insights for educators on using collaborative learning to improve speaking skills.

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) study addressed the issue of low student motivation and limited oral communication skills in 11th-grade English language learning, stemming from the use of limited and monotonous learning materials and a rigid, textbook-driven pedagogical approach. Recognizing the crucial role of differentiated learning materials and effective pedagogical practices in fostering engagement and comprehension, this study implemented a series of interventions within two cycles. The action research process involved the introduction of differentiated learning resources, including educational videos, interactive learning apps, and online collaborative tools, integrated into the existing teaching modules, alongside explicit instruction on speaking strategies. Data were collected through classroom observations, student reflections, pre- and post-intervention speaking assessments, and an analysis of teaching module documents. The findings revealed a significant increase in student engagement, motivation, and oral communication skills following the implementation of diverse materials and targeted instruction. Students reported reduced boredom and a renewed interest in learning English. Furthermore, the speaking assessments demonstrated measurable improvements in both fluency and accuracy. Critically, the study also revealed a discrepancy between the intended Genre-Based Approach and the actual implementation in the teaching modules, highlighting the importance of teacher pedagogical understanding and the transformative potential of CAR for teacher development. This study underscores the effectiveness of incorporating differentiated learning materials, collaborative activities, and explicit instruction to enhance student motivation and improve learning outcomes within the context of 11th-grade English language education while also emphasizing the necessity of ongoing reflection and adaptation in pedagogical practices.
