Abstract

For many Indonesian learners, mastering English pronunciation is challenging, especially when dealing with unfamiliar sounds, proper stress patterns, and natural rhythm. This study set out to investigate whether Tongue Twisters could be an effective way to address these issues for seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Tondano. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test format, the research involved 13 purposively selected students from a BINSUS (Binaan Khusus) class. A pronunciation test adapted from Anas Sudijono’s (2012) rubric measured five aspects: consonants, vowels, stress, intonation, and rhythm, along with tongue twisters. Data were gathered through a pre-test, a single treatment session using Tongue Twisters, and a post-test. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality testing, and a paired samples t-test in SPSS. Findings showed that the mean score improved from 40.59 in the pre-test to 63.24 in the post-test (scale 0–100). The paired samples t-test confirmed that this improvement was statistically significant (t = -5.592, p < 0.05), indicating that the technique effectively enhanced articulation, vowel accuracy, stress placement, and overall prosody. Beyond measurable progress, students also showed greater engagement and enjoyment during pronunciation practice. These results suggest that incorporating Tongue Twisters into classroom activities can provide both linguistic benefits and a more motivating learning experience for junior high school students.

Abstract

This study investigates how Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) strategies influence student engagement in higher education, particularly in a Drama Analysis classroom. Employing a qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and reflective writings. Thematic analysis identified three interrelated dimensions of engagement: behavioral, cognitive, and emotional. Findings show that CTL enhances participation, critical reflection, and empathy, yet challenges remain in managing open-ended tasks. The study underscores the pedagogical value of CTL in fostering meaningful and engaging learning experiences in higher education. The findings revealed that CTL strategies enhanced student engagement, encompassing behavioural, cognitive, and emotional aspects. Students showed increased behavioral engagement through better attendance and enthusiastic participation, while cognitive engagement was evidenced by active involvement in assignments and peer learning.  Emotional engagement also rose, leading to improved communication skills, personal growth, and empathy. However, some challenges, such as navigating open tasks, were also identified. In conclusion, the findings of this study illustrate the significant influence of CTL strategies on student engagement and learning outcomes in drama classes. Consequently, the study provides educators with practical implications for the creation of engaging and meaningful learning experiences through the utilisation of CTL strategies. In conclusion, the application of engaging and contemporary pedagogical strategies that are aligned with the specific context is essential for meaningful learning.
