Abstract

This study aims to analyze multimedia learning tools' impact on improving grade VI students' English language skills at SDN 02 Lubuk Buaya, Padang City. In today's digital era, technology in education is increasingly important, especially in improving language skills. The method used is a quantitative experiment with a pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 52 students and was divided into two groups: an experimental group using multimedia applications and a control group using conventional methods. The results showed that multimedia significantly improved students' English skills, especially vocabulary comprehension and speaking skills. Data analysis revealed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups, which showed better progress. These findings confirm the benefits of integrating multimedia technology in language teaching, which can help students be more engaged and motivated in learning English. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of multimedia use in improving students' English learning outcomes. Multimedia tools based on mobile applications and e-learning platforms are becoming more widespread to improve students' English skills. Therefore, it is important for schools and educators further to integrate multimedia technology into the English language learning curriculum. In addition, training for teachers in the use of multimedia tools is also needed to ensure that the technology is used effectively. Thus, students' English learning outcomes can be significantly improved by applying this method.

Abstract

Teaching English as a second language (ESL) to young learners presents a unique set of challenges and requires the use of effective and innovative strategies. Short attention spans, differences in learning pace and style, and the need to make learning relevant and engaging for children, are some of the key barriers faced by educators. Through this study, we explore various methods and approaches to overcome these challenges, including the use of props, games and other interactive activities that support visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. The study also highlights the importance of differentiating teaching and adapting to each child's specific needs to maximise learning effectiveness. In addition, the establishment of a positive and supportive classroom environment, as well as classroom behaviour management, were seen as important factors in facilitating successful language learning. The conclusion of this study provides insights into effective strategies in educating young learners in ESL, demonstrating the importance of teaching approaches that are creative, flexible and responsive to individual needs.
