Abstract The present Meta-Analysis was conducted to synthesize information across similar studies. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The data of this study was 23 similar studies which focused on correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension that involved 1135 sample. The data contained r and n. r is a coefficient value and n are respondents. In collecting the data, the researchers used five steps, namely: Collecting studies or meta-analysis materials; Calculate the effect size of each study; Estimate the summary effect or mean effect size; Moderator variable analysis; Publication bias evaluation. The software that was utilized to analyses the data was JASP. Since K = 23, so 5K+10 = 125. The fail- safe N value obtained is 4727.000, with a significant target of 0.05 and p < 0.001. Because the safe value of N > 5K+10, it can be concluded that there is no publication bias problem in the Meta-Analysis study.

Abstract

One of the English language skills is reading. Reading is an activity in the cognitive process to get information in writing. Reading comprehension is a reading skill that is on a higher order. Reading comprehension is cognitive reading (reading to understand). There are many strategies for learning reading comprehension. One of them is the listen-read-discuss strategy. Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) is a strategy that helps students build strong background knowledge to understand texts. The present study represents a meta-analysis of research results on the application of listening-reading-discussion strategies in reading comprehension. This meta-analytic study is a study that uses secondary data in the form of data from previous research findings. This research can be called follow-up research in the form of research reports and literature analyses. The tool of this research work is documentation, namely to obtain information about the application of the practice of listening-reading-discussing in reading comprehension. Data collection techniques were collected using a documentary technique. The technical data analysis used is descriptive, and to assess the sensitivity of the result of the so-called robust meta-analysis. From all 12 (twelve) studies, we can conclude that all studies show a good correlation with the listen/read/discuss (LRD) strategy in terms of reading comprehension. This means that LRD strategy helps learners to understand writing.

Abstract

Pronunciation is an essential aspect of language learning, and it can be a challenging skill for many students to master. However, research has shown that using songs in language learning can be an effective way to improve pronunciation skills (Chen & Liang, 2018; Godwin-Jones, 2019; Lee, 2021; Zahra & Hadi, 2020). One reason why songs may be effective for improving pronunciation is that they provide learners with a model for correct pronunciation. When students listen to and sing along with songs, they are exposed to the correct pronunciation of words and phrases, which can help them to develop a more accurate pronunciation themselves. This research uses qualitative methods, especially interview analysis. One of the most crucial sources in qualitative research to gain an in-depth understanding of how people experience, feel, and interpret the social world is the interview (Dong, 2012). According to Oakley, a qualitative interview is a form of framework where practices and standards can be reached, pushed, and reinforced in addition to being documented (Nasreen, 2019). This research aims to determine students’ perceptions regarding the use of songs as a tool to improve English pronunciation easily. This research was guided by three main research questions: 1. What are the students' perceptions of using English songs to improve their pronunciation? 2. Can English songs help EFL students get better at pronouncing words? 3. How could using music help students pronounce words more fluently? Each song aimed to explore a specific aspect of songs for pronunciation. This study aims to gain insight into the various ways students use songs to learn language, such as saying words and hearing the rhythm and lyrics to facilitate vocabulary learning. Learning can be made more engaging and entertaining by using songs. While learning the target language, pupils feel at ease in a calm environment and pick up the language (as seen by their better pronunciation). They become more open to learning due to lowering their affective filter. Songs also aid students in better comprehending and pronouncing key phonological elements.

Abstract

This study explores the attitudes of 91 students at Universitas Advent Indonesia toward English pronunciation in the context of language learning. Using Likert scale questionnaires, the research examines the perceived importance of pronunciation, preferences for pronunciation models, confidence levels, and how cultural identity shapes these attitudes. Students' views on teaching methods, including technology-enhanced instruction and feedback mechanisms, are also analyzed. The findings underscore a strong acknowledgment of pronunciation's role in effective communication, with significant support for interactive and culturally sensitive teaching approaches. Students expressed a preference for pronunciation models that align with their cultural identity, indicating a need for more personalized and contextually relevant instruction. This study provides valuable insights for language educators and curriculum developers, emphasizing the integration of students' cultural backgrounds into pronunciation pedagogy. Pronunciation remains a critical yet often underexplored component of English language learning, particularly in multilingual settings where cultural identity strongly influences learner attitudes. This study investigates the attitudes of 91 students at Universitas Advent Indonesia toward English pronunciation, addressing the broader issue of how cultural factors shape learners’ preferences and confidence in pronunciation. Employing Likert scale questionnaires, the research compares student responses across different ethnic and linguistic
