Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of developing a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to enhance students' critical and creative skills in learning procedural texts at SMPN 7 Satap Maiwa. The goal was to create a dynamic, engaging, and effective learning environment using the PjBL model to improve students' skills, particularly in English learning. This research employed quantitative methods to provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the PjBL model in enhancing students' critical and creative thinking abilities in procedural text learning. The development of PjBL in education has seen significant progress, especially in secondary English language teaching. This study specifically aimed to assess the application of the PjBL model in teaching procedural texts, with a focus on creating posters using the Canva application by analyzing a tourist spot. The study involved 15 students in the experimental group and 15 students in the control group. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' scores from pre-test to post-test in the experimental group. The average pre-test score for the experimental group was 68.66, while the post-test mean score increased to 86.33. In comparison, the control group’s pre-test and post-test scores were 57.66 and 82.66, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that the p-value was smaller than the α level (0.001 < 0.05), leading to the rejection of H0 and acceptance of H1, indicating that the use of PjBL in learning procedural texts had a positive impact. In conclusion, this study suggests that integrating the PjBL model can effectively enhance students' critical and creative skills, contributing to improved overall learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the models of English learning implemented for students with disabilities at SLB Negeri 1 Sidrap and evaluates how these models influence students' motivation to learn English. Employing a qualitative research design, data were gathered through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results reveal that students show a strong preference for video-based and interactive learning activities. Teachers adopt diverse instructional strategies, including multisensory learning, game-based learning, and collaborative approaches, all tailored to meet students' individual needs. Despite these efforts, challenges persist, particularly in mastering tenses and maintaining focus during lessons. To overcome these obstacles, teachers offer personalized support, re-explain complex concepts, and assist slow writers by dictating materials. The findings highlight the crucial role of adaptive teaching strategies in enhancing the English learning experience for students with disabilities in special education settings.

Abstract

Listening comprehension plays a crucial role in tertiary EFL learning; however, many university students struggle due to limited exposure to contextualized and authentic audio input. Despite the growing use of storytelling in language teaching, few empirical studies have examined the effectiveness of audio-only storytelling in higher education EFL listening classrooms. This study investigates whether audio storytelling significantly improves university students’ listening comprehension. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed involving 30 undergraduate EFL students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated listening comprehension test and analyzed through descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ mean scores from 62.40 (pre-test) to 78.60 (post-test), with p < 0.05. The calculated effect size indicated a strong practical impact. These findings suggest that audio storytelling provides contextualized and meaningful input that significantly enhances listening comprehension in tertiary EFL classrooms.
