Abstract

Sektor Pariwisata semakin menggeliat baik dalam kancah lokal maupun global. Hal ini membuat posisi kehumasan dan jurnalistik menjadi sangat krusial dalam tataran pemasaran pariwisata kepada turis lokal maupun manca negara. Lulusan siswa SMK konsentrasi Produk Siaran Program Televisi (PSPT) sebagai calon aktor akan terlibat didalamnya dan SMKN 2 Padang Panjang sebagai salah satu SMK yang memiliki program kejuruan produksi siaran program televisi menggaungkan broadcasting sebagai penciri utama sekolah. Pembelajaran broadcasting di sekolah ini haruslah diintegrasikan dengan bahasa Inggris, mengingat program revitalisasi SMK adalah pengaplikasian bilingual learning ecosystem dimana bahasa Inggris adalah kemampuan yang harus dimiliki oleh lulusan SMK dalam upaya mempersiapkan diri menghadapi persaingan global yang semakin kompleks. Hal ini diimplementasikan dalam bentuk pembelajaran berbasis produksi dengan pendekatan teaching factory dan business centre.  Namun demikian, terdapat beberapa permasalahan internal terkait hal ini seperti belum meratanya kemampuan siswa dalam hal kehumasan dan jurnalistik, belum spesifiknya bahan ajar Bahasa Inggris untuk SMK dalam konsentrasi jurusan tersebut, rendahnya keterampilan siswa dalam berbahasa Inggris dalam konteks kegunaan kehumasan dan jurnalistik. Maka dari itu diperlukan langkah kongkrit untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut salah satunya dengan pemberian workshop kepada siswa. Kegiatan yang dapat dilakukan adalah memberikan workshop terpadu atau pelatihan penguatan kompetensi kehumasan dan jurnalistik berbasis digital berbahasa Inggris sebagai implementasi bilingual learning ecosystem di SMK.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigates the impact of music integration on the motivation of 34 tenth-grade students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at SMAN 1 Solok Selatan in learning recount texts, by answering two research questions: Does music integration have an impact on student motivation, and how does this impact occur? Conducted over three cycles, this study used songs such as “Fifteen” by Taylor Swift, “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, and “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran to teach the structure of recount texts through activities such as lyric analysis, group collaboration, scaffolding, and role-playing. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires, adapted from AMTB Gardner, measured motivation levels, while an observation checklist assessed engagement using the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction). Research results indicate that integrating music significantly enhances motivation, with average scores increasing from an average of 2.77 on the pre-test to 3.48 on the post-test, an increase of 14.46%. Observational data showed an increase in engagement from 56.94% in Cycle 1 to 85% in Cycle 3. Music enhances motivation by reducing affective barriers, fostering intrinsic engagement through enjoyable tasks, and promoting collaborative learning. Repeated improvements addressed challenges such as low verbal participation, increasing self-confidence (75% in Cycle 3) and satisfaction (100% in Cycles 2 and 3). This study highlights music as an accessible and low-cost tool to transform passive EFL classrooms in rural settings with limited resources into dynamic, student-centered learning environments, offering practical insights for educators in similar contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze metacognitive strategies used in intensive and extensive listening activities among fourth-year English Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang. The research method used was a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The instrument used in this study was a closed-ended questionnaire adapted from the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) by Vandergrift et al. (2006), which measures five key metacognitive strategies: planning and evaluation, directed attention, person knowledge, mental translation, and problem-solving. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling, with one class (K2-2021) chosen as the representative sample. The results of the study indicate that during intensive listening activities, the most commonly used strategy is “directed attention”, while the least commonly used strategy is “mental translation”. In extensive listening activities, the most commonly used strategy is “person knowledge”, while “planning and evaluation” is the least used. Furthermore, all five strategies were used at a high level in both listening contexts. These findings suggest that students are actively engaged in applying metacognitive strategies, both in classroom-based and autonomous listening practices. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that fourth-year English Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang demonstrate strong use of metacognitive strategies in their listening activities and are capable of using appropriate strategies effectively.
