Abstract

This research aimed to examine the level of the implementation of authentic assessment by high school English teachers in a rural area of Siak district, Riau Province, Indonesia, and to explore their perception regarding authentic assessment. This research used a mixed method in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. The research samples were 39 high school English teachers in the Siak region. The research instrument used is a questionnaire comprising 38 closed and three open questions, distributed online via Google Forms. The questionnaire was designed using Likert Scale with options ranging from 1-5 (very poor to very good) Data were also collected using semi-structured interviews to enrich data from the Google Form. This study found that the total average score of quantitative data is 4.1, classified as good. That means the implementation of authentic assessment by English teachers is at a good level. Then from the qualitative data analysis, it appeared that most teachers have a positive perception of authentic assessment as a tool for monitoring and evaluating student learning outcomes. However, there are still some problems faced by the teachers in implementing this assessment, such as the lack of time allotment for the English subject at school and the complexity of the assessment procedures. This implies that some policies are required to make the authentic assessment work well at school levels so teachers can benefit from the assessment for improving English learning at schools.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the speaking fluency levels of fourth-semester students in the English Language Education Study Program at FKIP Universitas Riau. Speaking fluency is essential for future English educators, as it reflects language proficiency and supports effective teaching processes. This research uses a descriptive quantitative method to assess fluency based on disfluency indicators, such as repetitions, pauses, fillers, and false starts. Data were collected through two-minute speech recordings of each participant, with a random sample of 27 students chosen from three classes. Spectral analysis using Audacity software identified and counted disfluencies, which were then statistically analyzed. Results show that most students achieved fluency at level 3, with high rates of pauses and fillers. Disfluency factors include limited vocabulary, speaking anxiety, and lack of English practice. Recommendations for enhancing fluency include gradually increasing task difficulty, providing more practice time, and offering in-depth learning materials. The study suggests that the program pay special attention to developing teaching materials and methods to support students’ fluency improvement.Keywords: Speaking fluency, disfluency, students, English language learning

Abstract

SDN 024 Teluk Binjai in Dumai City has implemented English lessons in its school curriculum. However, inadequate teacher competencies have been a factor in the low levels of students' communication skills and interactive mediation. Teachers need to apply active, creative, and contextual learning models to make the learning process enjoyable and foster social interaction between students and teachers. Joyful learning, combined with games, is prioritized to create active, creative, and contextual learning. Based on these challenges, a training program on the implementation of the Joyful Learning 7Jumps Strategy research results was conducted for 12 teachers teaching English at SDN 024 Teluk Binjai, Dumai. The training methods included technical guidance and workshops on designing lessons, student worksheets, and assessments, followed by peer teaching practice.

The training was deemed successful, with teachers’ knowledge and readiness to implement the Joyful Learning 7Jumps Strategy scoring an average of 3.82, categorized as high, and the teaching modules were applicable for teachers. The community service activity effectively enhanced teachers’ competencies in implementing the strategy creatively, innovatively, and contextually, directly improving the quality of English teaching at SDN 024 in Dumai City. The limitation of the training lies in the unknown effectiveness of the model and product in improving students’ English proficiency.
