Abstract

This qualitative descriptive research investigates the learning media employed by English teachers for eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Ngoro, Mojokerto. Utilizing observation and in-depth interviews, data were collected from teachers and students. Findings reveal two primary instructional media types: video and film recordings (YouTube) and printed media images. The study suggests that video and film recordings significantly influence student engagement, whereas printed media images appear less effective due to perceived lack of attractiveness. This study underscores the importance of selecting effective learning media, particularly in enhancing speaking skills development, offering valuable insights for English language educators

Abstract

General Background: Speaking skills are essential for English language learners, particularly in non-native English-speaking countries like Indonesia. However, many students struggle due to limited resources, unengaging teaching methods, and lack of exposure to authentic spoken English. Specific Background: The TED channel on YouTube offers a potential solution by providing diverse, high-quality spoken English content featuring various accents and speaking styles. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies suggest that TED videos enhance public speaking, limited research explores their effectiveness in improving vocational high school students' general speaking skills. Aims: This study investigates the impact of using TED channel videos on students’ speaking proficiency at SMK Dian Indonesia. Results: A pre-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design was conducted, analyzing data using paired-sample t-tests. Findings revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking skills, with mean scores rising from 71.2 to 79.9 (p < 0.05). Novelty: Unlike prior studies focusing on public speaking, this research highlights TED’s effectiveness in improving general speaking proficiency, particularly in vocational high school settings. Implications: The findings suggest that integrating TED videos into language instruction can enhance engagement and speaking performance, encouraging educators to adopt multimedia tools for language learning. Highlights: TED videos enhance students' pronunciation, fluency, and intonation through exposure to native speakers. Significant score improvement from pre-test to post-test confirms the effectiveness of TED as a learning tool. Multimedia integration in English teaching increases student engagement and motivation.

Abstract

This research discusses the use of non-digital teaching media in school without internet access to improve the writing skill of 7th grade junior high school students at one of the junior high schools in Sidoarjo. This study also aims to determine the effect of using the mini Snakes and Ladders as teaching media. Researchers used a quantitative research design with a pre-experimental method that used only one class without using a control class as a comparison for the experimental class. From the final research data obtained, researchers processed it using a paired sample T-test with SPSS. The pre-test and post-test findings provided the data. The results of the paired sample T-test using SPSS indicate that the pre-test and post-test differed significantly. The pre-test’s average score fell short of the 43,15 score required by the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). In the meantime, the KKM indicator was passed with an average post-test score of 78,75. It demonstrates that the score outcomes vary from one another. Compared to the pre-test, the post-test score has a higher mean. T-test results based on the paired sample test showed that the alpha (α) was 0,05 (0,000<0,05) and sig. (2-tailed) was 0.000. This means that Ha has been approved and H0 has been rejected.

Abstract

Research highlights a mismatch between the general scoring rubrics teachers use and the specific features required to assess genre-based writing, potentially due to a lack of genre-based approach-specific models. The study aims to develop and validate genre-based assessment instruments, and it sought to evaluate the validity and reliability of these instruments to ensure their suitability for classroom-based assessment. This study involved four stages of the research and development (R&D) model: initial product development, refinement, field-testing, and revision. Data were collected through focus group discussions (FGD) with a fellow teacher on the test blueprint and rubric, a questionnaire on participants’ perceptions of test quality, and field-testing of 40 students’ writing scores. SPSS was used to analyze inter-rater reliability, and participants deemed the instruments suitable for classroom use. The results show that genre-based assessment through the tasks is effectively aligned with instructional objectives with assessment practices. It revealed a strong positive correlation, confirming the reliability of the scoring rubric. Thus, the instruments are both valid and reliable for assessing students’ narrative writing performance. The findings emphasize the potential of genre-based assessment tools to align instructional goals with assessment practices, offering implications for enhancing the teaching and assessment of genre-specific writing in educational contexts.

Abstract

The problems of speaking mastery faced by EFL students in higher education are various. The frequency of making mistakes in completing specific tasks is because of poor communication skills. Students have minimum chances resulting lack of practice that affects their successful performance. Self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were determined to be two essential components to developing and improving learners speaking abilities. This study is purposed to investigate the correlation between self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and the achievement of students English speaking. This study used a quantitative correlational design. The data are gathered by using a self-efficacy scale expanded from the General Self-Efficacy Skill (GSE), emotional intelligence was measured with the emotional intelligence scale adapted from the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), while the speaking achievement was administered to 100 students in public speaking class. The students performed a seven-minute speech and scored based on the content, proficiency, and delivery method. The data on self-efficacy and emotional intelligence were analyzed by using multiple correlations and multiple regressions. The finding shows a significant correlation between self-efficacy and students speaking achievement (F=9.510; p=0.0030.05), while the effect size of self-efficacy on students speaking achievement is 0.102 or 10,2 %. However, there is no correlation between emotional intelligence and speaking achievement (F=2.861; p=0.0940.05). Due to the absence of a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and speaking achievement then this makes the effect size of the emotional intelligence on speaking achievement very small which is 3.3%. Then, the best model to describe students achievement is by using self-efficacy variables and eliminating emotional intelligence variables (t=3.084; Sig. 0.0030.05). This study contributes to all speaking teachers being able to reveal the students self-efficacy and emotional intelligence toward learning speaking.
