Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using YouTube-based narrative videos in improving the listening skills of the narrative text of class X students of SMAN 6 Aceh Barat Daya. The research method employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, including a pre-test and post-test control group design. The research sample consisted of two purposively selected classes, namely class X.1 as the experimental group (n = 36) taught using YouTube narrative video media, and class X.3 as the control group (n = 34) taught using conventional audio-based methods. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test covering four aspects of listening skills: main idea, detailed information, inference, and vocabulary in context. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test through SPSS version 26 with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups (p = 0.000), where the experimental group experienced an average increase of 23.5 points, higher than the control group, which increased by 8.7 points. In addition, improvements occurred in all listening sub-skills, with the highest percentage in understanding the main idea (28%). The findings indicate that the use of YouTube narrative videos is more effective than conventional methods in improving students' listening skills, while increasing their motivation and engagement in learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using technology, especially the Duolingo application and YouTube learning videos, on the effectiveness of speaking skills assessment in English learning for students of class VIII-A SMPN 2 Susoh. The research method used a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experiment design with a sample of 30 students selected purposively. The research instrument is a speaking test that assesses aspects of pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar with a 1-5 scale rubric. The treatment was conducted through six sessions of technology-based learning, followed by a comparison of pre-test and post-test results. Data analysis using SPSS showed an increase in the average score from 61.87 in the pre-test to 78.23 in the post-test, or an increase of 26.45%. These results indicate that the use of technology can significantly improve the quality of assessment and students' speaking skills. The findings of this study recommend the utilisation of digital learning media as an alternative to more effective assessment methods, especially in junior high schools in non-metropolitan areas.

English is the world's international language of communication. In some countries, English is even a common language or mother tongue. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using English songs in improving students' listening skills. The population of this study is VIII-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Babahrot. The study involved two groups: experimental group that learned by using songs and control group that used traditional teaching methods. The experimental group, consisting of 23 students, took a pretest and a posttest to measure the impact of the learning intervention using songs on their listening ability. The comparison between the two groups showed that the experimental group showed greater improvements in English language skills compared to the control group, with a mean pretest score of 60.70 and posttest score of 74.43. The use of English songs significantly improved the listening skills of the grade VIII students. These results support the hypothesis that using songs into English language learning, especially in improving listening skills, can improve students' listen skills. This suggests that songs can be an effective strategy for improving students and used as additional materials to increase students' motivation and engagement in learning.

Abstract

This study employed a descriptive quantitative research design to examine second-year university EFL students’ perceptions of difficulties in organizing compare and contrast essays. The research aimed to identify which parts of the essay; introduction, body, or conclusion that students perceive as most challenging and to explore specific difficulties encountered in writing each section. A total of 40 second year university students participated in the study. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire administered via Google form after the midterm examination. Descriptive statistics, particularly percentage analysis, were used to analyze students’ responses. The findings indicate that students perceived the body paragraph as the most challenging section, primarily due to difficulties in organizing ideas coherently, developing supporting details, and using appropriate transitions. In contrast, students expressed higher confidence in writing the introduction and conclusion, demonstrating familiarity with thesis formulation, hooks, and summarizing key points. These results suggest that EFL instruction should emphasize strategies for improving coherence, paragraph organization, and transitional skills, particularly in body paragraphs, to enhance students’ overall essay writing performance.

Abstract

This study examined linguistic error patterns in the descriptive writing of 50 second language learners, using a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative error counts with qualitative analysis of coherence and clarity. A total of 253 errors were identified across student responses to prompts such as “banana,” “cat,” and “tiger.” Grammar errors were the most frequent (57 cases, 22.5%), particularly subject–verb agreement and tense misuse, followed by sentence structure (51 cases, 20.2%) and spelling errors (51 cases, 20.2%), with punctuation (50 cases, 19.8%) and capitalization (44 cases, 17.4%) somewhat less common. Correlation analysis revealed grammar (r = –.70), punctuation (r = –.65), and sentence structure (r = –.63) as the strongest predictors of diminished writing quality, while spelling and capitalization played secondary roles. Qualitative evidence confirmed that grammar, punctuation, and structure errors disrupted logical flow and obscured meaning, whereas spelling and capitalization mainly reduced surface polish. These findings, consistent with L2 writing scholarship (Bitchener, 2012; Ellis, 2016), underscore the centrality of grammatical and structural accuracy for coherence in descriptive texts. Pedagogically, the study recommends targeted grammar instruction, punctuation and sentence boundary practice, and genre-based scaffolding, complemented by digital feedback tools and peer review, to enhance students’ ability to produce coherent and reader-friendly descriptive writing.

Abstract

Reading is an early activity in the learning process for every student in elementary school. At the beginning of reading, then someone will see how the problems are faced so that it can be considered as a challenge that must be faced. The benefit of reading is that it can develop more significant thoughts that refer to critical thinking, increase knowledge, and provide arguments to each other. This can improve relationships between people through peer communication, to build this literacy culture requires a person to change. Using communication, a person will find it easier to gain knowledge. Communication does not mean just talking but talking about the ability to foster interest in reading and writing. What can result from this culture is that it can foster interest in reading and build reading activities. By reading we can find out new things that we get. Building a culture of literacy can be done anywhere, one of which is by utilizing the school library and applying it in everyday life.
