Abstract

This study explored the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom method in improving writing skills among students at MTs Hizbul Wathan NW Semaya, employing a quasi-experimental design. By transforming the traditional learning approach, this method allowed students to study instructional materials independently before collaborating in the classroom. The research involved pre- and post-test assessments of students' writing abilities, revealing a notable enhancement in the experimental group's performance compared to the control group. Specifically, the experimental group achieved a mean post-test score of 82.18, while the control group's mean was 60.33. These results highlighted the Flipped Classroom's ability to foster greater student engagement, motivation, and confidence in writing. The article also addressed the implications of these findings for future teaching practices and emphasized the importance of further research to assess the long-term impact of this method across different educational settings. Overall, the study supported the Flipped Classroom approach as an effective strategy for advancing students' writing proficiency and enhancing their overall language skills.

Abstract

Reading is one of the four language skills that are very important to master, as it contributes not only to academic success but also to cognitive and social development. This study aims to explore the cognitive and social benefits obtained from reading skills among 6th semester students of the English Language Education Program at Hamzanwadi University. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data was collected through questionnaires (closed-ended and open-ended questions) validated by linguists and semi-structured interviews that had been tested for reliability. The research population was all semester 6 students of the English Education Study Program, Hamzanwadi University, which amounted to 120 students, with a sample of 12 students selected using purposive sampling techniques based on consistent reading activities. Data analysis uses thematic analysis through coding, categorization, and theme development stages. The findings show four main themes: (1) the improvement of critical thinking skills, (2) the development of vocabulary and language structure, (3) the improvement of social skills and participation, and (4) the formation of independent learning habits. This study concludes that reading skills significantly promote cognitive enrichment through improved analytical and linguistic skills, as well as improving students' ability to interact meaningfully with others in and out of the classroom. The implications of the study point to the need for the development of a more comprehensive reading curriculum and learning strategies that emphasize cognitive and social aspects in English language education.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors contributing to students’ speaking anxiety and the types of anxiety experienced by Grade 11 students at SMA Tahfiz Al-Batthawi NWDI Kerongkong in the 2025/2026 academic year. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires from six students. The findings reveal four main factors causing speaking anxiety: limited vocabulary, difficulties in pronunciation, fear of making mistakes, and fear of negative evaluation. The study also identifies three types of anxiety: state anxiety, trait anxiety, and situation-specific anxiety. These findings highlight that speaking anxiety significantly hinders students’ confidence and performance in English learning. The results suggest that teachers should create supportive classroom environments and provide strategies to reduce anxiety, thereby encouraging students to participate more actively in speaking activities.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using the Episoden application to enhance English speaking skills at MA Manba’ul Bayan. Speaking is often considered the most challenging skill for EFL learners due to limited opportunities for authentic practice, lack of confidence, and vocabulary constraints. To address this, Episoden, a mobile-based platform that enables real-time video conversations with international speakers, was introduced as a supplementary learning tool. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, and field notes involving eleventh-grade students. Findings revealed that students initially experienced anxiety and hesitation when using the application, but gradually developed greater confidence, fluency, and motivation after repeated practice. The application provided authentic communicative experiences, supported intercultural interaction, and allowed learners to practice beyond the classroom at their own pace. Despite technical challenges such as unstable internet connections and difficulties understanding accents, students expressed positive attitudes toward Episoden and considered it an effective tool for improving their speaking skills. Overall, this study highlights the potential of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications like Episoden in fostering more meaningful and engaging speaking practice for EFL learners.
