Abstract

Mastery of English as a foreign language (EFL) is an important skill in today's globalized world. One important aspect of language acquisition is good writing skills. However, students learning English as a foreign language often need help developing cohesion and coherence in writing. This study aims to examine whether a simple view of writing can improve EFL students' cohesion and coherence. This study utilized a quantitative method. Data were collected using two instruments: cohesion and coherence tests and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and regression tests. The results showed that a simple view of writing can improve EFL students' cohesion and coherence. Students who used a simple view of writing learning had higher cohesion and coherence scores than students who did not use a simple view of writing learning. English teachers can use this technique to help students write more coherence and cohesive texts.

Abstract

This experimental research aims to find out the effectiveness of digital comic books in reading skills at SMP Bunga Matahari Banda Aceh in the academic year 2021/2022. The samples of this research were 16 students of ninth-grade students who were divided into two groups (one group as an experimental group and one group as the control group). The researcher administered a pre-test before the treatment to collect data about the students reading preliminary scores. Then, the teacher taught reading by using comics in two meetings at the experimental group and conducted a post-test to collect data about the student's reading ability after they learned reading by using narrative-based comics. Meanwhile, the students in the control group were taught reading by using the traditional method in two meetings and then they were given a post-test. Then, the pre-test and post-test test scores were analyzed by using N-Gain scores. The mean score pre-test of the control group was 75.50, and the experimental group was 70.63, the mean score post-test of the control group was 82.50 and the mean score post-test of the experimental group increased to 89.50. Based on the result of the research, it could be concluded that teaching reading narrative text by using digital comics could improve the student's reading comprehension of narrative text.

These findings establish Cake as a valuable Mobile-Assisted Language Learning tool for intermediate-level students, fostering confidence and fluency in spoken English. The study's implications highlight the importance of incorporating technology-enhanced language learning tools like Cake into educational programs. Educators and curriculum developers can benefit from these insights when designing language learning strategies. In conclusion, this research confirms the positive perception of students towards Cake's impact on speaking skills. The study supports the effectiveness of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning tools like Cake in enhancing language proficiency among intermediate-level students. Further research in this area can contribute to the advancement of language learning methodologies.

Abstract

Paraphrasing is the ability to restate an idea or phrase in a new form without changing its original meaning. This skill is particularly important in academic writing, where plagiarism is a common problem, especially in dissertations and scientific papers. The purpose of this research was to investigate the paraphrasing skills of English students at Serambi Mekkah University, Banda Aceh, and to identify the challenges they face in mastering this skill. Using a quantitative research approach, the study collected data by asking students to paraphrase sentences from essays that reflect the writer's perspective on certain topics. These essays were distributed via Google Forms to students on the English Education programme. The results showed a range of paraphrasing abilities among the students: 33% were excellent, 20% were good and 15% were fair. Conversely, 20% of the students had poor paraphrasing skills and 12% had significant difficulties. These findings highlight that paraphrasing is an essential academic skill, crucial for avoiding plagiarism and improving the quality of writing. The research underlines the importance of teaching students effective paraphrasing techniques to enable them to produce original work and adhere to ethical writing practices. It also provides valuable insights for educators, suggesting that targeted instruction in paraphrasing could help students improve their writing and reduce the risk of academic misconduct. By mastering paraphrasing, students can not only improve their academic performance, but also develop the critical thinking and language skills necessary for effective communication.

Abstract

Young learners' characteristics, which differ from those of young adolescents, adolescents, and adults, encourage EFL instructors to implement technology-based learning strategies with high consideration. If EFL teachers fail to implement the appropriate strategy for teaching English, young students may likely encounter academic difficulties in subsequent years. Teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) have implemented technology-based learning strategies to improve students' literacy, vocabulary, and critical thinking abilities. There are also implementation obstacles. This article aims to identify the types of digital-based learning strategies implemented by Indonesian EFL teachers for teaching English to young learners, as well as to identify the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL teachers when implementing digital-based learning strategies for young learners.The findings indicated that EFL teachers in Indonesia employed a variety of technological approaches to develop their students' language and critical thinking skills. EFL teachers utilized multimodal e-books to improve reading skills; animated e-books were employed to enhance literacy skills; flipped classroom was utilized to augment vocabulary; and digital folklore was used to foster analytical and critical thinking skills among EFL young learners.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital journalism learning model based on video features, with the intention of improving the creativity and language proficiency of students on the English Studies programme at the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang. The study employs a Research and Development (RD) approach, adapting the Borg and Gall model through the stages of needs analysis, design, product development, expert validation, revision and trials across two learning cycles. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed model was categorised as very feasible. Expert validation achieved an average score of 87.5%, classifying it as 'very feasible', while student responses reached 88.2%, classifying it as 'very good'. The model's effectiveness was evident in the improvement in student learning outcomes, rising from an average score of 65 in Cycle I to 87 in Cycle II. The N-Gain calculation of 0.63 showed an increase into the 'moderate to high' category, indicating that the model was effective in improving student abilities. Qualitatively, there was an improvement in scriptwriting skills, speaking fluency, visual creativity and the ability to produce video features. In theory, this model contributes to the development of digital, media-based English language learning. In practice, it can provide lecturers with an innovative way to create more interesting, contextualised and appropriate learning materials for the digital era
