<![CDATA[This study investigates the potential of e-portfolios to enhance vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in non-English as Foreign Language (EFL) students. Specifically, it explores the impact of e-portfolios on vocabulary acquisition, speaking fluency, and pronunciation accuracy in a non-EFL setting. The study employs a mixed-methods approach. A quantitative design with pre- and post-intervention tests measures vocabulary knowledge and speaking skills. A qualitative strand uses interviews and document analysis to explore students' perceptions and experiences with e-portfolios. Sixty non-EFL students are randomly assigned to an experimental group using e-portfolios and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Quantitative data is analysed using statistical tests to compare pre- and post-intervention performance between groups. Qualitative data is thematically analysed to identify emergent themes related to students' experiences with e-portfolios. The study expects to demonstrate that e-portfolios can effectively enhance vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in non-EFL students. Findings will contribute to the understanding of e-portfolio implementation in non-EFL contexts and inform pedagogical practices for improving vocabulary speaking skills. This study stands out by investigating the efficacy of e-portfolios in a non-EFL setting, addressing a gap in existing research. Additionally, the mixed-methods approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the impact of e-portfolios on both learning outcomes and learner experiences.]]>

<![CDATA[Speaking skill, which involves the ability to communicate orally, demands self-confidence and composure when interacting with others. Furthermore, speaking in the English language poses a significant challenge for many students, often inducing nerves and anxiety. The purpose of this research was to examine the correlation between students' learning anxiety and their speaking skills at the lower secondary school level. To investigate this relationship, a quantitative research approach with a correlation design was adopted. The data collection involved the administration of a questionnaire (FLCAS) to assess students' learning anxiety and an English-speaking test to evaluate their speaking skills. The questionnaire used in this study was adapted from the work of Horwitz et al. (1986) to measure students' learning anxiety. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS Program version 25. The target population for this English-speaking of all second-grade students, totaling 102 individuals. Through simple random sampling, 41 students were selected as respondents. The analysis of the data yielded results indicating the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Hi) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) (0.046 < 0.05). Thus, the findings suggest a significant correlation between students' learning anxiety and their speaking skills. In summary, the research findings support the existence of a relationship between students' learning anxiety and their proficiency in speaking skills. The study contributes to the understanding of the challenges faced by students in developing their speaking abilities, particularly in the context of English language learning.]]>

<![CDATA[Language learning, particularly vocabulary development, is crucial in mastering English as a foreign language. However, teaching vocabulary effectively can be challenging, and traditional methods like memorization may not always be engaging for students.

A qualitative research design was employed, involving structured interviews and focus group discussions with eight students from a senior high school in Jakarta. The findings revealed that online games provided an immersive and enjoyable environment for vocabulary enrichment, offering both direct and indirect opportunities to encounter new words and phrases. The study demonstrated that online games could positively influence students' motivation and interest in learning English vocabulary, resulting in improvements in their language skills. It is then suggested that students should practice using English by utilizing online games relevant to the promotion of their English vocabulary mastery.]]>
