Abstract

This study examines the relationship between extroversion and speaking proficiency among 27 pre-service English teachers at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong. Using a correlational research design, data were collected through the Revised-Short Form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQR-S) and a speaking skills test using a rubric by O'Malley (1996). The data were analysed using SPSS version 27 and Pearson product-moment correlation techniques. The results reveal an insignificant negative correlation (r = -0.108, p > 0.05) between extroversion and speaking skills, indicating no substantial link between these variables. Most students displayed moderate extroversion, but their speaking scores predominantly fell into the "enough" and "poor" categories. Highly extroverted students could have consistently achieved better speaking proficiency. Personalized teaching strategies are recommended to address students' diverse needs. Extroverted learners benefit from group discussions and collaborative projects, while introverted students perform better in quieter settings, such as one-on-one discussions or recorded tasks. These tailored approaches can enhance confidence and improve speaking skills across personality types. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing pre-service teachers’ speaking skills.

Abstract

One type of writing exercise that concentrate on describing people, places, things, emotions, and feelings is descriptive text. While Instagram is a platform for sharing emotions and experiences from daily life, recounting such events in class encourages students to utilize their imaginations to reflect on their own lives and events that have already happened. Therefore, Instagram can offer several helpful components to help students improve their writing skills. In this study, the data were analyzed by the researcher using a quantitative approach with pre-experimental research. It was the method that used one group pretest and post-test design. In one group pre-test and post- test design, used a single group to measure or observe. The population of this research was class X TKJ 1 at SMK Darussalam Makassar, and there were 28 students in the samples. Assessments (pre- and post-tests) were the instrument employed in this study. The statistical findings show that the students' average post-test score was higher than their average pre-test score (70.11), at 86.61. This analysis of the t-test indicates that the t-test's value (16.511) is higher than its value (1.703) with 24 as the degree of freedom. This indicates a significant difference. In light of the fact that Ho is disproved and H1 is widely accepted, it is possible to conclude that using Instagram as a teaching and learning tool can help students improve their capacity to create descriptive writing. Instagram is a great tool for English teachers to use as a teaching tool since it offers a variety of implementation materials to break up the monotony of teaching writing to students.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the correlation between English learners’ motivation and speaking achievement due to the lack of student motivation, particularly in speaking skills that affect the speaking score. The samples of this study were 19 students taken from the second semester of the English Department at the Muslim University of Maros. The method used was mixed methods with correlational technique. Quantitative data was collected by distributing questionnaires to students using Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) indicators and the speaking scores taken from the speaking lecturer. Then, qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews. In analyzing quantitative data, questionnaires assessed by Likert Scale and speaking scores were analyzed using SPSS, while the qualitative data used Miles and Huberman analysis. The quantitative data results indicate a correlation between the motivation of English learners and speaking achievement, with a score of 0.672. It is considered that the higher the motivation in learning speaking, the better the speaking achievement the students achieve. Students with high motivation will try to follow the learning process intensively compared to those with less motivation. Furthermore, students' extrinsic and intrinsic motivation were analyzed by looking at the AMTB’s Gardner and the results of the interview as well. The data results indicated that students show extrinsic motivation more than intrinsic motivation in their speaking achievement.
