Abstract

Reading comprehension is the interaction between readers and the text in order to form a meaning from the text, which is a complex process that involves word knowledge and world knowledge. In addition, reading comprehension is one of the most important reading skills and is required to achieve the overall goals of the reading process. In reading comprehension, the readers’ involves much more than responses to text. Hence, reading comprehension is a complex mental process. stated reading necessitates a connection between learning activities, the learner's experience, and the learner's prior knowledge in order to form the meaning of a text. Reading comprehension is not an innate ability, nor is it an easily facilitated skill that ends when the reader can recognize and say the written symbols. Indeed, it is a complex process that requires mental abilities and potentials, practice and drill, and the application of various thinking, explanation, analysis, critique, and contrasting skills. People can gain a lot of information and knowledge by reading in this globalization era. Reading comprehension seems to be a skill that everyone should develop. Reading comprehension requires three elements to exist: the reader, the text, and the purposeful activity of reading. Furthermore, the process necessitates ongoing practice, development, and refinement, as well as creativity and critical thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between the implementation of the Direct Instruction model and students’ speaking skills among eleventh-grade students majoring in Electronics Engineering at SMK Negeri 2 Pekanbaru. The research employed a quantitative correlational design to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables. Data were collected using two instruments: the Direct Instruction Questionnaire to assess the extent of the instructional model’s application and the Speaking Skill Test to evaluate students’ oral performance. The collected data were then analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation technique. The results of the hypothesis testing revealed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) is accepted. This finding demonstrates a statistically significant relationship between Direct Instruction and students’ speaking skills. Moreover, the correlation coefficient of 0.552 shows that the strength of the correlation falls within the “moderate” category. These results suggest that the more effectively the Direct Instruction model is implemented, the better students’ speaking performance tends to be. Thus, Direct Instruction can be considered a useful and structured approach to enhance students’ speaking ability in vocational education settings.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between students’ self-esteem and their English-speaking skills among eleventh-grade students at SMAN PGRI Pekanbaru. It seeks to determine whether self-esteem significantly influences students’ ability to perform in spoken English.This research employed a quantitative correlational design to examine the correlation between two variables: students’ self-esteem (independent variable) and speaking skills (dependent variable). Data were collected through a self-esteem questionnaire and a speaking skills test administered to class XI students. The questionnaire was completed within a 15-minute time allocation. Statistical analysis, specifically Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, was used to analyze the relationship between the variables.The findings reveal a very strong positive correlation between students’ self-esteem and their speaking skills, with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.999 and a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.01). Since the significance value is lower than 0.05, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This indicates that higher levels of self-esteem are associated with better speaking performance among students. Therefore, students’ self-esteem has a significant positive influence on their English-speaking skills.This study highlights the importance of fostering students’ self-esteem to improve their speaking abilities in English learning contexts. Teachers are encouraged to implement strategies that build students’ confidence and self-worth to enhance their oral communication skills. However, this research has several limitations. First, time constraints affected data collection, as students had limited time (15 minutes) to complete the questionnaire, which may have influenced the accuracy of their responses. Second, difficulties in obtaining administrative data and cooperation from the school management posed challenges during the research process. Future studies are recommended to allow more flexible time allocation and ensure better institutional support to improve data quality and research effectiveness.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the correlation between students' participation in English clubs and their speaking skills among high school students in Pekanbaru City. Speaking is a crucial English language skill that learners must master, as it plays a significant role in effective communication. Fluency in speaking is often used as a measure of language acquisition quality. However, learners face several challenges in developing their speaking skills, including nervousness, lack of strategic communication, and insufficient practice opportunities. English clubs serve as platforms to enhance students' speaking skills by providing engaging and interactive environments.Design/methods/approach – A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires and speaking tests. The study involved 13 students from SMA Negeri 7 Pekanbaru who participated in the English club. Statistical analysis using SPSS 25, specifically Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient, was conducted to determine the relationship between the two variables.Findings – There is a significant positive and strong correlation (r = 0.961, p < 0.01) between participation in the English club and students' speaking skills. This suggests that students actively engaging in English club activities tend to demonstrate better speaking proficiency. The study highlights the effectiveness of English clubs as an extracurricular program that fosters students' confidence, communication skills, and language proficiency through various activities such as storytelling, speeches, and debates.Research implications/limitations – The study is limited by the small sample size of 13 students, which may affect the generalizability of the findings to a larger population. This research contributes to the understanding of how English clubs support language learning and encourages further implementation of such programs to enhance students' speaking abilities. Future studies may explore additional factors influencing speaking proficiency and the long-term impact of English club participation on students' overall language development.
