Abstract

This study, entitled The Use of Role Play Model to Develop Vocabulary Mastery of Grade Ten Students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu, aims to examine the effectiveness of the role play model in enhancing students’ vocabulary mastery. The research was motivated by the observation that many tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu struggle with limited vocabulary, which is often caused by low motivation, monotonous teaching methods, and a lack of confidence in using English. The study employed a pre-experimental design involving one group of 32 students. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test instruments administered before and after the implementation of role play activities based on real-life scenarios. The results showed a significant increase in vocabulary scores, with the mean rising from 12.06 (pre-test) to 18.75 (post-test). Statistical analysis using SPSS revealed that the data met normality and homogeneity assumptions, and the Independent Sample t-Test indicated a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming the positive effect of the role play model. These findings support the conclusion that role play is an effective, interactive, and engaging strategy to develop students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aims to find out whether the Audio-lingual method is effective in improving students' pronunciation, particularly in word stress, among tenth-grade students of SMA Bala Keselamatan Palu. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving 54 students, divided into an experimental group (n=25) and a control group (n=29) through total sampling technique. The experimental group was taught using the audio-lingual method, while the control group followed conventional methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean post-test score (75.44) compared to the control group (61.69). Statistical analysis using SPSS version 26 showed a significance value (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These results indicate that the Audio-Lingual Method is effective in improving students' pronunciation, specifically in mastering word stress in English.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the effect of tongue twisters can improve the pronunciation of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Lembo. A quasi-experimental design was employed with a sample of 64 students selected using random sampling techniques. Random sampling was chosen to reduce bias, produce a representative sample, facilitate statistical analysis, and allow for replicability of the research. Data were collected through writing tests administered twice as pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given to the experimental group before the treatment, while the post-test was administered afterward. The researcher collected and analyzed the data using the formula proposed by (Cohen et al., 2007) and SPSS 22. The results indicated a significant improvement in the pronunciation scores of the experimental group, with a pre-test average of 51.56 and a post-test average of 77.97. In contrast, the control group showed a smaller improvement. The Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that innovative teaching methods can enhance students' pronunciation skills. These findings suggest integrating interactive activities into English language teaching, and training for teachers is necessary to implement this method effectively. The study also opens up opportunities for further exploration of other variations of games in teaching pronunciation.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of using missing lyrics in English songs to improving listening skills of the ninth-grade students at SMP 16 Palu. The research applied a quasi-experimental approach involving two groups: an experimental group that experiences the treatment using missing lyrics in English songs, and a control group that continued with the traditional learning skills before and after intervention. The results revealed that the experimental group showed a notable improvement in their listening skills compared to the control group. Using missing lyrics in English songs helped improve students’ interest and active participation during lessons. Additionally, this method provided genuine exposure to the English language. Overall, the findings indicate that incorporating missing lyrics in English songs can be an effective technique to support and develop students listening skills in language learning.

Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of YouTube videos in improving the English-speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. Two groups participated in the reseach's quasi-experimental design: an experimental group that was treated using YouTube videos and a control group that was taught using conventional methods. Fluency and comprehensibility were the main goals of the speaking skills evaluation. A speaking rubric was used to collect the data through pre-tests and post-tests. Because of the non-normal distribution of the data, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test were used for analysis. The results demonstrated that the experimental group's speaking scores significantly exceeded those of the control group. While the control group's mean score only improved from 29.44 to 45.00, the experimental group's reached from 36.32 to 72.11. A substantial difference (p = 0.001) between the two groups was verified by the statistical analysis, suggesting that YouTube videos are a useful tool for improving students' English-speaking skills. According to the research, including digital resources like YouTube into English language instruction can foster a more stimulating and encouraging learning environment.

Abstract

Errors in inflectional morphology remain a persistent challenge in EFL learners’ writing, particularly in Indonesian contexts where in-depth analyses of error patterns and their underlying causes are still limited. This study aims to identify the types of inflectional morphological errors produced by English students at Tadulako University and to examine the factors contributing to these errors. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design, this study involved 20 fifth-semester students from the English Education Study Program. Data were collected through document analysis of students’ written assignments and semi-structured interviews with five selected participants. The data were analyzed using systematic error analysis procedures, including error identification, classification into inflectional categories, explanation of error sources, and frequency analysis. The findings indicate that verb inflection errors are the most prevalent, particularly in tenses marking and subject–verb agreement, followed by errors in plural and possessive forms. These errors are primarily attributed to first language interference, insufficient grammatical knowledge, and limited exposure to accurate language use in writing practice. This study contributes to EFL pedagogy by providing a more nuanced understanding of learners’ difficulties in using inflectional morphology and underscores the importance of integrating explicit grammar instruction with meaningful writing practice to enhance grammatical accuracy.

Abstract

This study investigates the pronunciation difficulties experienced by third-semester EFL students at Tadulako University in producing the English interdental fricative sounds /θ/ and /ð/. The objectives of this study are to identify the most difficult fricative sounds and to determine the factors influencing these difficulties. This study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 16 students of the English Education Study Program. The data were collected through a pronunciation test and a questionnaire. The pronunciation test required students to read 20 words containing /θ/ and /ð/, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The questionnaire data were analyzed using mean scores and percentage distribution. The findings reveal that /θ/ was the most problematic sound, frequently substituted with /t/, while /ð/ was less problematic and occasionally replaced with /d/. The results also show that 9 students achieved excellent scores, while others showed varying levels of difficulty. In terms of influencing factors, mother tongue influence and psychological factors were identified as the most dominant, each contributing 21.3% to pronunciation difficulties. These findings indicate that first language interference and learners’ anxiety play significant roles in students’ pronunciation performance.
