Abstract

Dice Board Game is a type of modified board game that aims to encourage students to have interactive communication while learning through games. It is suggested that teaching materials should meet the needs of students. However, the suitability of teaching materials is often not considered. Therefore, it is necessary to design a media that can provide more opportunities for students to build their interactions as they need to acquire speaking skills. The design of this study is based on design-based research as proposed by Akker et al. In this study, in-depth interviews with teachers were conducted to find out the needs of students. In addition, observations were made on the syllabus and materials for media development. In addition, media implementation and interviews with English teachers were observed to assess the implementation and quality of the Dice Board Game. The results showed that the Dice Board Game media could motivate students to speak more. In addition, it was found that the activity met the practicality of speaking learning.

Abstract

Motivation is one of the most important factors affecting foreign language learning. Some studies suggest that motivation has a robust impact on foreign language learning outcomes regardless of learners’ language talent (Wigfield & Wentzel, 2007; Rehman & Haider, 2013; Islam et al., 2013). This is why motivation becomes the most ‘complex and challenging’ problem faced by teachers (Scheidecker and Freeman, 1999). Motivation can shape learners’ attitude, objective (Maehr & Meyer, 1997), increase learners’ learning effort (Pintrich, et al., 1993), and improve learners’ achievement. However, motivation becomes a more intricate issue in the context of pesantren school in Indonesia (Farid and Lamb, 2020). That is because pesantren consists of learners from various socio-economic backgrounds. While pesantren students’ main aim is to learn religious knowledge, some of them perceive learning English irrelevant to their future. Based on contemporary theories on L2 motivation and identity and utilising the authors’ years of experience as they work as English instructors in the pesantren environment, this paper attempts to shed light on possible topics that can be explored by future L2 motivation researchers in Indonesia, especially in the pesantren context.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Communicative Approach and the Test-Focused Approach in TOEFL® preparation classes. Sixty-four students from Islamic Senior High School Madrasah Aliyah Al-Insan (pseudonym) in Jombang, East Java, Indonesia, were divided into two groups: one receiving instruction based on the Communicative Approach and the other on the Test-Focused Approach. Using a quasi-experimental design, pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed to measure improvements in TOEFL performance. The results showed significant score increases in both groups. The Communicative Approach group’s mean pre-test score of 456 improved to 483 post-intervention, while the Test-Focused Approach group’s mean score rose from 460 to 493. The paired sample t-test results indicated statistically significant improvements within each group, with p-values of 0.00 for the Communicative Approach and 0.00 for the Test-Focused Approach. Additionally, the independent sample t-test revealed that the Test-Focused Approach group performed significantly better than the Communicative Approach group post-intervention, with a p-value of 0.030. These findings align with existing theories on language learning and test preparation, suggesting that while communicative methods enhance overall language proficiency, test-focused strategies more effectively boost immediate test performance. The study concludes that integrating both approaches in TOEFL preparation programs can provide a balanced and comprehensive strategy, optimizing both language development and test readiness. Future research should explore the long-term effects of such integrated methods on students' language proficiency and academic success.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategies of drilling and creative tasks used by a teacher and how the teacher applies these strategies to motivate students to speak in class. A qualitative research design was used to answer this study's questions. To collect the data, this study used interviews and classroom observations as the instruments. The participant in this study was one of the English language teachers in SMK Sehat Insan Perjuangan Mojoagung Jombang, where the teacher has been teaching for five years. The results indicated that the teacher used drilling and creative tasks with songs booming on TikTok and other social media related to materials containing moral values to motivate students to speak in class. The use of drilling as a teaching strategy was presented by asking students to say the words that had been spoken by the teacher repeatedly. While the creative task as a teaching strategy was depicted by the given stimulus in the form of a task, the students were asked to present the task result in front of the class, and the other were asked to respond. The results show that using drilling and creative tasks as learning strategies can make students more active in speaking, and this was evidenced by those who were usually just silent and passive in the speaking class getting increased confidence, improved fluency, and a greater willingness to get involved in the class.

One of various aspects to a series of activities on successful business is really influenced by theappropriate use of language. Public Relations (PR) people, in order to make good communication withtheir business partners, indeed need to have good understanding on language uses so that the businessactivities are successful. One of the language uses can be identified through the principle ofcommunication, called “maxims”. The purpose of this paper is to describe the use of language andcontexts which lead us to violate the maxim of quality. This research used a descriptive qualitativemethod. It was found that language may be used as a means to achieve enormous influence in a series ofmarketing campaign. In addition, in line with the use of ‘the maxim of quality’, low power publicrelations in a certain situation need to violate it in order to achieve good communication and to makebusiness activities successful at last. Furthermore, “a white lie” or “no comment” may become analternative way to make the hearer pleased and to save one’s credibility.
