Abstract

Public speaking remains a critical competency in business communication, yet many students struggle with performance anxiety and skill development. This study investigates the relationship between direct feedback on manuscript preparation and public speaking performance among 56 Business English Communication (BEC) students over one academic semester. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the research examined performance improvements following four systematic feedback interventions on speech manuscripts prior to mid-semester presentations. Results revealed statistically significant improvements in public speaking performance, with students demonstrating enhanced confidence, clarity, and delivery effectiveness. The findings suggest that structured manuscript feedback serves as a scaffolding mechanism that reduces anxiety while improving content organization and presentation skills. This research contributes to pedagogical approaches in business communication education by demonstrating the efficacy of iterative feedback processes in developing professional speaking competencies.

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to identify students' learning styles and determine whether there are differences in learning outcomes among the students of class XI 2 at SMA N 4 Enrekang. The research is qualitative and employs a descriptive approach. The primary research instrument is the researcher, and the supporting instruments used are Likert scales and interviews. The study results showed that among the 29 students, 51.73% with a visual learning style achieved learning outcomes in German subjects, with an average grade of 84. Among students with a kinesthetic learning style, 31.03% achieved learning outcomes in German, with an average score of 77.2, and 17.24% of students with an auditory learning style achieved learning outcomes in German, with an average score of 80.8. Of these three categories, the visual learning style, which many students in class XI 2 SMA N 4 Enrekang have, is the most popular.Keywords: Learning style, learning outcome

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between cultural content integration and foreign language public speaking anxiety (FLPSA) among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The research examines how incorporating Buginese cultural values (Sipakainga’, Sipakalebbi’, and Sipakatau’) affects anxiety levels and provides culture-based coping strategies for 56 Indonesian university students enrolled in Business English Communication program, Universitas Makassar. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study analyzed anxiety patterns, cultural identity impacts, and effectiveness of culturally-responsive pedagogical approaches. Results indicate that students who engaged with familiar cultural content demonstrated significantly lower anxiety levels and improved speaking performance compared to those exposed to purely Western-oriented materials. The findings suggest that integrating local cultural frameworks can serve as effective anxiety-reduction mechanisms while maintaining language learning objectives. This research contributes to understanding culturally-sensitive EFL pedagogy and provides practical implications for educators working with culturally homogeneous student populations.

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.
