The mean score, which was initially categorized as "fairly sufficient," has now risen to the "excellent" category, reflecting a notable enhancement in the student's vocabulary mastery. The paired sample t- test results showed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, meaning the improvement was statistically significant. It means that English kids' songs as the media is effective for teaching vocabulary at an elementary school. This research provides strong evidence that innovative media such as English kids' songs can be a concrete solution to the challenges of vocabulary learning in school especially at an elementary level.

Abstract

Speaking skills are essential for effective communication and play a significant role in academic achievement, especially in the context of learning English as a foreign language. However, many students face difficulties in fluency, pronunciation, and confidence when speaking English. Traditional teaching methods often fail to sufficiently enhance students’ speaking skills, necessitating the exploration of more interactive approaches such as debate. This research investigates the effectiveness of using debate technique to improve the speaking skills of class XI A at a private Islamic school in Ngemplak area. This study applies a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. A total of 26 female students were selected as participants using purposive sampling, considering institutional regulations. The research process consisted of three phases: an initial assessment (pre-test) to evaluate students’ speaking skills, an intervention stage where the debate technique was applied, and a final assessment (post-test) to measure the improvement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The results reveal a significant enhancement in students' speaking performance following the debate technique application. The mean score of the post-test (77.88) showed a notable increase compared to the pre-test score (61.92), with statistical analysis confirming a significant difference (p < 0.05). This finding suggests that the debate technique is effective to improving students' fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence in English communication. In summary, incorporating debate as a learning method allows students to develop structured argumentation, strengthen critical thinking, and engage in interactive discussions. Educators are encouraged to integrate debate techniques more frequently to maximize speaking practice. Further research should consider other influencing factors and extend the study duration to optimize students' learning outcomes.

Abstract

Many university instructors assess academic essay writing using general rubrics or borrowed instruments that do not align with specific course outcomes and learner profiles. This study was initiated to address this gap by developing a valid and reliable assessment instrument for academic essay writing among EFL university students, focusing on argumentative essays. The instrument was constructed systematically, involving needs analysis, expert validation, pilot testing, and statistical evaluation for reliability and validity. The trial was conducted with 6 students from the English Language Education Study Program, and their essays were rated by two trained raters. The results showed that the rubric successfully captured performance variation across six key writing components and allowed for consistent scoring with minimal discrepancies between raters. Expert validators confirmed that the rubric is clear, relevant, and aligned with academic essay writing expectations. Rater reliability analysis showed consistent inter-rater scores (score differences ≤1 point), indicating strong rubric usability. Based on these findings, this instrument offers a practical and theoretically grounded tool for assessing academic essay writing in EFL higher education settings.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the continuous changes in people’s lives resulting from advances in science and technology, particularly in education. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Information was obtained from the head of the madrasah, the chairman of the madrasah committee, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed using a descriptive narrative technique through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of respondents, methods, and time. The findings reveal that the use of information technology, specifically the WhatsApp application, in the learning process at MA Ma'arif Roudlotuth Tholibin, serves not only as a medium, source, and tool for evaluation but also as a stimulus for student engagement. Students reported feeling less bored, more motivated, and more actively involved in learning. The use of WhatsApp as a learning medium helps overcome students’ limited experiences, fosters interaction with their environment, ensures uniformity of understanding, and supports the development of appropriate basic concepts. Furthermore, it enhances students’ interests, regulates learning pace, and provides a comprehensive learning experience from concrete to abstract concepts. Contribution: This study contributes to the field of educational technology by demonstrating how the integration of a widely accessible communication tool—WhatsApp—can effectively enhance student motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in a madrasah context. It highlights the potential of low-cost, familiar platforms to bridge technological gaps in education and to create more dynamic and interactive learning environments.
