Abstract

Writing skills are crucial in education, yet many students face challenges with engagement and interest. Given the increasing use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, exploring innovative approaches to address these issues is important. This study investigated ICT-based interactive video to enhance students' engagement and descriptive writing skills. Conducted with 33 seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Malang, this qualitative study employed classroom observations and analysis of written texts. Data analysis involved categorizing observation records by themes such as student engagement and interaction with the video. Students’ descriptive texts were examined for advancements in clarity, coherence, and creativity and categorized based on these aspects. The findings indicated that after using interactive videos, students’ descriptive writing displayed advancements in the three areas examined, with many students achieving high-quality levels. These results suggest that interactive videos can be a valuable tool for boosting students’ engagement and writing skills. The study highlights the need for incorporating such media into writing instruction. It suggests that further research should explore the refinement of these tools and their application in varied educational settings.

Abstract

Abstrak: Kemampuan berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris menjadi perhatian pengurus pondok An Nahdlah Malaysia, untuk bisa dikuasai oleh para santri. Sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan para santri dalam berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris. Pelatihan ini diikuti sebanyak duapuluh lima santri dan dilakukan dalam tiga tahap: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Sehingga penggunaan metode ceramah, Focus Group Discussion dan praktik digunakan dalam pelatihan ini. Di samping itu, terciptanya modul pembelajaran pidato dalam Bahasa Inggris untuk santri, juga setelah diadakan posttest dengan cara mereka melakukan pidato dalam Bahasa Inggris, sehingga menghasilkan delapanbelas santri atau 72% yang mampu berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris secara lancar. Selain itu, tujuh santri (28%) yang lainnya sudah bisa berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris yang nantinya bisa ditingkatkan kemampuannya menjadi mahir jika pelatihan ini bisa berkelanjutan. Tujuh santri tersebut belum lancar, karena tiga faktor penghambat yakni materi belajar, waktu dan kedisiplinan. Sehingga disarankan untuk kegiatan pelatihan berikutnya bisa memberikan materi yang sesuai dengan kemampuan dan yang dibutuhkan oleh para santri, serta pelatihan ini bisa dilaksanakan secara rutin dan peserta memiliki komitmen untuk belajar. Serta, pentingnya melibatkan pengurus pondok pesantren dalam program ini.Abstract: The ability to speak in English is a concern of the board of An Nahdlah Malaysia, to be mastered by the students.

Also, it is important to involve the boarding school administrators in this program.

Abstract

This article focuses on the development of mobile learning media using Android-based applications to enhance the teaching and learning process, specifically for English language education in seventh-grade classrooms. The study follows the research and development (R&D) model proposed by Lee and Owens (2004) and was conducted in two private schools in the Malang district. The development process consists of five phases: assessment/analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The "Seven" application, developed using the Andromo platform, aims to improve the four basic skills of English language learning: reading, speaking, writing, and listening. The effectiveness of the application was evaluated through material verification and media verification, using qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods. The findings indicate that the "Seven" application was well-received by students, with positive feedback regarding its user-friendly interface and the engaging learning experience it provided. The study demonstrates the potential of Android-based mobile learning as an effective and practical tool for enhancing English language education in seventh-grade classrooms.
