Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of multimodal instructional media integrating text-based and video-based materials in developing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) vocabulary among Civic Education students, while also investigating potential gender-related differences in learning outcomes. Anchored in multimodal learning theory, the study proceeds from the premise that text and video constitute complementary rather than competing modes of vocabulary instruction, each contributing unique affordances to learners' lexical development. An interrupted time series quasi-experimental design was adopted, involving 82 second-semester Civic Education students at Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia, who participated in four structured treatment sessions alternating between text-based and video-based instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments were administered at every session, consistently demonstrating significant vocabulary gains across all treatments. Mean scores progressed from 75 (pre-test, Session 1) to 88 (post-test, Session 4), with female students outperforming their male counterparts across all assessment points. These findings contribute substantively to the ESP vocabulary research literature by demonstrating that multimodal text-video integration yields both immediate and cumulative vocabulary gains, and by foregrounding the pedagogical significance of gender as a variable in ESP instructional design.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of context clue strategies in teaching economic English vocabulary (English for Specific Purposes/ESP) for Development Economics students at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Using a quantitative pre-experimental approach (one-group pre-test post-test design), 109 students (31 male, 78 female) aged 18-20 years with English proficiency ranging from basic to intermediate participated in the study. Data were collected through economics-based vocabulary tests administered before and after eight instructional sessions. Paired samples t-test analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement from pre-test (M = 52.37, SD = 8.94) to post-test (M = 74.18, SD = 7.62), t(108) = 42.07, p < .001, Cohen's d = 2.44 (very large effect). Pearson correlation analysis indicated a strong positive relationship between context clue ability and vocabulary gain (r = .612, p < .001). These findings imply that explicit context clue instruction significantly benefits all proficiency groups, with the basic group showing the highest relative gain. This study supports the integration of context clue strategies into economics ESP curricula.
