Abstract

This study examined the correlation between reading frequency and reading comprehension, particularly at the literal level, among eighth-grade students at SMP Labschool UNTAD Palu, as regular reading practice can strengthen word recognition, vocabulary, and the ability to grasp explicit information in texts. This study was conducted in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year using a Pearson Product-Moment correlation design. A total of 36 students were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a reading frequency questionnaire and a reading comprehension test of 15 multiple-choice items based on descriptive texts from the Eighth-Grade syllabus. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson’s r, and reliability was analysed using Cronbach’s Alpha. All questionnaire items were declared valid, and the reliability analysis produced a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.743, indicating high internal consistency. There was a significant, moderate positive correlation between reading frequency and literal reading comprehension (r = 0.427; p = 0.009 (p < 0.05), indicating that increased reading frequency is associated with increased literal comprehension. The results of this study indicate that high reading frequency positively contributes to students' ability to identify explicit information in reading texts. This research strengthens the literature on basic literacy and can be a reference in developing a literacy-based curriculum at the junior high school level.

Abstract

English language proficiency is an essential skill in security services, particularly for security personnel (satpam) who frequently interact with foreign guests. This article describes an English training program for security supervisors as an empowerment strategy to enhance the quality of communication and security services. The training was conducted in the form of an interactive workshop using a Training for Trainers (ToT) approach, where security supervisors were trained to become effective tutors for the personnel under their supervision. The training materials covered basic communication in security contexts, English teaching techniques, and teaching practice through simulations and role-plays. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to measure participants’ improvement in English proficiency and pedagogical skills. The results showed an increase in post-training scores in both communication and teaching abilities. This program is expected to generate a sustainable multiplier effect through internal training conducted by the security supervisors, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of professionalism and the quality of security services.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Spotify music platform on improving the English pronunciation of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu, with a specific focus on the articulation of liquid consonants (/l/ and /r/), which commonly present difficulties for Indonesian learners of English. A quantitative pre-experimental design, utilising a one-group pre-test and post-test model, was employed with a sample of 28 students. Pronunciation tests were administered before and after the treatment to evaluate progress. The results revealed a significant improvement, as indicated by the increase in the mean score from 9.36 to 15.25, supported by a t-value of 27.36, which exceeds the t-table value of 2.052. These findings demonstrate that English songs on Spotify offer repetitive and authentic listening input, which strengthens articulation accuracy. The novelty of this study lies in analysing differential improvement between /l/ and /r/ sounds through a Spotify-based intervention. The implication suggests that digital music platforms can be used as effective supplementary tools in pronunciation teaching.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate errors in students’ writing assignments and identify which errors students committed most often. This research was prompted by the fact that students in SMA Labschool UNTAD Palu struggle with the simple past tense as a language feature in recount texts. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative design, the study involved 15 students as the sample. Using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen as a guide, it was shown that students commit all types of grammatical errors. Misformation was committed the most with a total of 127 occurrences (80,89%). Omission ranked second with 20 appearances (12,74%), followed by addition errors with 9 appearances (5,73%), and misordering ranked last with only 1 appearance (0,64%). The high number of misformation errors indicated that students were struggling to form correct verb tenses and to choose the correct word form. This suggests that students’ understanding of English morphology and tense usage is inadequate, especially in forming sentences with past-tense verbs.

Abstract

Many approaches can be employed in vocabulary teaching and learning. One of these approaches is gamification. The goals of the study are to see if gamification approach through wordwall.nets’ utilization can increase students' vocabulary mastery and to pinpoint the word category that demonstrates the most progress. Using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model, this study assesses if word wall media can deepen students' vocabulary proficiency, and also investigates which category of content words exhibits the most gains after the platform is implemented. The population in this study are eighth-grade students from MTs Negeri 2 Palu, sampled VIII D class, and the sample was chosen using purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the paired sample t-test. Data analysis reveals a clear distinction between the students' pre-test and post-test outcomes. The average of students’ results on the pre-test rises from 36.04 to 52.2 on the post test. The paired sample t-test demonstrates a statistically significant increase in the pre-test and post-test scores (Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000). This supports the alternative research hypothesis (Ha). Indicating wordwall.net is a useful tool for enhancing the vocabulary skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Palu. The findings also confirms adjective as the content word that has impressive progress after the platforms’ application.
