Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using role play combined with audio-visual media to improve the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Lab School UNTAD Palu. The research was conducted in response to students’ difficulties in speaking English, such as limited vocabulary, incorrect pronunciation, and lack of self-confidence. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used, involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to measure their speaking performance before and after the treatment. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. The results showed that the experimental group made significant progress in their speaking skills, with the average score increasing from 60.00 in the pre-test to 82.11 in the post-test. In contrast, the control group showed only a small improvement, from 59.41 to 67.71. Statistical analysis confirmed that the use of role play supported by audio-visual media had a significant positive effect on students’ speaking abilities, particularly in improving their fluency and accuracy.

Abstract

This investigation was conducted with the principal objective of examining the influence exerted by the utilization of folktales on enhancing the reading comprehension abilities of tenth-grade students at MAN 1 Palu. Employing a quasi-experimental methodology, the study encompassed two distinct cohorts: the experimental group, which engaged with narrative texts rooted in folktales, and the control group, which received instruction through conventional reading passages. The evaluative instruments comprised both pre-assessments and post-assessments, which incorporated multiple-choice items and essay prompts aimed at gauging comprehension at the literal level. Findings indicated that learners exposed to the folktale-based instructional approach exhibited a marked elevation in comprehension performance following the intervention. Specifically, the average achievement score within the experimental group rose from an initial mean of 28.21 to a post-treatment mean of 49.95. In contrast, the control group's mean score exhibited a modest increase, shifting from 28.45 to 30.05. Statistical validation using the Mann-Whitney U test produced a significance value of 0.007, thereby substantiating a statistically meaningful divergence between the two groups. This result necessitates the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis while concurrently rejecting the null. Consequently, it can be inferred that the incorporation of folktales into the reading curriculum substantively augments students’ literal reading comprehension capabilities in the context of tenth-grade learners at MAN 1 Palu.

Abstract

Scattergories game is a version of the category game that promotes broad word acquisition. This research aims to prove whether the use of the Scattergories game can develop vocabulary mastery of the seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Parigi. This research used a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: experimental and control groups. The population consisted of five seventh-grade classes. The test was administered twice as a pre-test and post-test to assess students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the treatment. Because the data were not normally distributed, the data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test through SPSS version 24. This finding showed a difference in mean scores post-test of the control and experimental groups, where the mean scores of the control group were 78 and the experimental group were 85. The Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant increase in the experimental classes (Z = -1.975, p = 0.048). This result suggests that the Scattergories game effectively enhances vocabulary mastery of the seventh-grade students, making the learning process more engaging and impactful.

Abstract

Self-confidence plays a crucial role in second language learning, particularly in enhancing speaking ability. In many senior high schools in Indonesia, English is taught as a foreign language (EFL), and students often struggle with speaking due to low self-confidence. This study investigates the correlation between self-confidence and speaking ability among eleventh grade students at MA Nurul Muttahidah Pinotu. Employing a quantitative research approach with a correlational design, the study involved 25 students as the total sample. The instruments used were a self-confidence questionnaire consisting of 20 items based on a Likert scale and a speaking test assessing five aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and comprehension. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, including normality and linearity tests, followed by Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis. The results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation (r = 0.505, p = 0.010) between students’ self-confidence and their speaking ability. This finding suggests that the more confident students are, the better their speaking performance. However, the small sample size is a limitation of this study, and further research with larger samples is recommended. These results highlight the importance of fostering students’ self-confidence to improve speaking skills in EFL contexts, especially in underrepresented educational settings such as senior high schools.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Kaili folktales in enhancing students’ reading comprehension at SMPN 19 Palu. The research was motivated by students' difficulties in understanding narrative texts, reflecting low reading comprehension levels. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 43 eighth-grade students divided into an experimental group (n = 23) and a control group (n = 20). The experimental group was taught using Kaili folktales, while the control group used general folktales. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests consisting of multiple-choice and essay questions. The results revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher average post-test score (71.04) compared to the control group (61.35). A Mann-Whitney test using SPSS 26 yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, indicating a significant difference between the groups. The findings suggest that incorporating Kaili folktales into English instruction effectively enhances students’ reading comprehension.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of the POSSE (Predict, Organize, Search, Summarize, and Evaluate) Strategy in enhancing students' reading comprehension. This study was carried out at the SMP Negeri 1 Toribulu. The research population comprised 66 eighth-grade students. The research used quantitative research, particularly in Quasi-Experimental Design. To get the sample, the researcher employed cluster random sampling. The data was collected using exam items, which included 10 multiple-choice and 5 essay questions. There were pretest and posttest in both groups, and the experimental group received treatment while the control group did not. The results showed the students' mean score of the experimental group (55.64) on the posttest was higher than the score from the control group (31.24) on the posttest. The sig value is calculated using statistical results. With a 2 tailed of 0.000<0.05, it can be determined that there is a significant difference in the mean score of pupils' learning outcomes between the POSSE-based learning model and the usual method taught by the teacher.
