Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of popular songs in teaching listening skills to eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Palu. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of two classes: an experimental group taught using popular songs and a control group taught using conventional methods. The research instrument was a listening comprehension test administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the treatment. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney U test to compare posttest scores between groups and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test to compare pretest and posttest scores within each group. The results revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p 0.05), with the experimental group achieving a higher posttest mean score (94.63) than the control group (85.66). The improvement in the experimental group was also greater than in the control group.

However, there are still many students who have difficulty in mastering this skill, because of the lack of knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, cause a lack of confidence in students when they want to speak English. This study investigates the effectiveness of the storytelling technique in enhancing the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu. Addressing the urgent need for engaging and student-centered strategies to improve oral proficiency, this research offers empirical evidence on the value of storytelling in English language learning. A quasi-experimental method was employed using pre-test and post-test procedures in both experimental and control groups. Thirty students were selected through convenience sampling, with fifteen assigned to each group. The experimental group received six sessions of storytelling-based instruction, while the control group learned through conventional methods. Findings reveal a substantial improvement in the experimental group, which achieved a post-test mean score of 69.33, compared to 44.67 in the control group. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating storytelling as an effective instructional technique within the Indonesian Islamic junior high school context. The results contribute to pedagogical practices by supporting storytelling as a practical approach to improving students’ speaking skills.

Meanwhile, analysis of the pre-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups’ average scores. In addition, the obtained significance value (2-tailed) was 0.001, which is lower than the standard level of 0.05. This suggests that the use of peer feedback has a statistically significant and meaningful effect on improving students’ writing skill. Consequently, peer feedback can be considered an advisable strategy for writing instruction.
