Abstract

This study endeavors to explore whether there exists a significant discrepancy in students' speaking proficiency between those instructed with the ELSA Speak application and those without it, among twelfth-grade students at SMAN 6 Kota Serang. Employing a quantitative research approach with a quasi-experimental method, the researcher examined 60 twelfth-grade students from SMAN 6 Kota Serang, comprising 30 students from XII MIPA-6 as the experimental group and another 30 students from XII MIPA-3 as the control group. Data collection methods encompassed observation, pre-tests, treatment, and post-tests. Analysis via t-test yielded revealing results: the mean speaking proficiency score for the experimental group was 76.93, while for the control group it stood at 64.26. Furthermore, the calculated t-value was 8.46, surpassing the critical t-value of 1.67 at a significance level of 5%. This disparity between the obtained t-value and the critical t-value led to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). In essence, the findings suggest a significant disparity in speaking proficiency between the group using the ELSA Speak application and the group without it. Consequently, these results underscore the importance of integrating technology-based language learning tools such as ELSA Speak into educational curricula, as they have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing students' speaking skills and fostering more effective language acquisition.

Abstract

The gap in education quality in Maluku is a serious challenge that affects educational development in the region. Factors such as limited resources, geographical distance, and unequal access to education are the main causes of unequal education quality between regions in Maluku. The low education budget and lack of educational infrastructure are the main obstacles in improving the quality of education in Maluku. Limited human resources, especially unqualified teaching staff, also contribute to low educational standards. The geographical distance between the islands in Maluku makes it difficult for many schools to access education. There are significant gaps in the availability of educational facilities on remote islands, which has an impact on the quality of education for children in these areas as well as inequality in access to education between social and economic groups. Children from underprivileged families tend to face difficulties in accessing quality education, causing inequality in the quality of education in Maluku to become increasingly sharp. Furthermore, the impacts of this gap in educational quality include low literacy rates, a lack of skills needed to contribute to the local economy, and increased social inequality. Therefore, joint efforts need to be made by the government, community and related parties to overcome the gap in education quality in Maluku. Increasing the education budget, improving the qualifications of teaching staff, and increasing access to education in remote areas must be the main focus in efforts to improve the quality of education and create educational equality throughout Maluku.
