Abstract

Grammar mastery, particularly in the use of past forms, is essential for developing students’ writing skills. However, many students still experience difficulties in applying regular and irregular verbs correctly. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group work in improving students’ mastery of past forms. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 23 tenth-grade students of SMAN 5 Palu. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests consisting of multiple-choice and essay questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s Test of Homogeneity, and the Mann–Whitney U Test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics version 29. The pre-test results showed that both groups had relatively similar initial abilities, with mean scores of 78.91 for the experimental class and 80.21 for the control class. After six meetings of treatment using group work activities, the experimental class achieved a higher post-test mean score (87.39) than the control class (81.19). The Mann–Whitney U Test showed a significance value of 0.000 (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings reveal that students taught through group work performed better in understanding and using regular and irregular verbs. Therefore, group work is effective in improving tenth-grade students’ mastery of past forms in writing at SMAN 5 Palu

Abstract

This study was motivated by the students' limited vocabulary mastery in learning English. Therefore, the researcher applied interactive games as an instructional tool to support students in expanding their vocabulary. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of interactive games in improving the vocabulary achievement of eighth-grade learners at MTs Alkhairaat Alindau. The study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants consisted of 24 students from Class VIII A. The data, collected through pre-tests and post-tests, were examined using a normality test and a paired sample t-test in SPSS software. Findings show that the students' mean score increased significantly from 45.67 in the pre-test to 66.58 in the post-test. The statistical analysis yielded a t-value of -15.668 (with a very large effect size, Cohen's d = 1.48) and a significance value (two-tailed) of 0.000. Since this value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected while the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Therefore, the use of interactive games such as word matching and crossword puzzles proved effective in significantly improving students' vocabulary mastery at MTs Alkhairaat Alindau. This finding suggests that interactive games can serve as effective alternative strategies in EFL vocabulary teaching, particularly in similar junior high school settings.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the use of visual comic strips is effective to improve the descriptive text writing skills of seventh grade students at SMPN Model Terpadu Madani Palu. The researcher used quasi-experimental research design. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental group (n = 22), which was taught using Comic Strips, and the control group (n = 22), which received conventional writing instructions methods. An analytical scoring rubric was used to evaluate students' writing abilities. It focused on three areas: mechanics (5 points), organization (35 points), and content (20 points), for a total of 60 points that were converted to a 100-point scale. According to the descriptive statistics, the experimental group improved significantly, with the mean score rising from 41.82 in the pre-test to 85.00 in the post-test, whereas the control group changed very little, from 32.27 to 73.41. A significant difference between the groups was established by the Independent Sample t-test, with an Asymp. Sig. value of 0.001 < 0.05. These results show that comic strips facilitate collaborative work revision and better concept organization for students. Therefore, Comic Strips is effective to improve descriptive writing skills of seventh grade students at SMPN Model Terpadu Madani Palu.

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

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using pictures in developing the vocabulary mastery of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Taopa Parigi Moutong. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two classes: an experimental group taught using pictures as instructional media and a control group taught through conventional methods without pictures. The population consisted of 113 Grade VIII students across four classes, and two classes were selected as the sample through random sampling. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests consisting of multiple-choice, picture-matching, and fill-in-the-blank items. The vocabulary items tested were limited to nouns, verbs, and adjectives based on the Grade VIII Kurikulum Merdeka syllabus. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk), homogeneity tests (Levene's Test), and an Independent Sample T-Test using SPSS version 25. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased significantly from 54.71 in the pre-test to 78.17 in the post-test, while the control group showed only a slight increase from 53.29 to 55.69. The Independent Sample T-Test yielded a significance value of 0.014 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings confirm that the use of pictures effectively enhances students’ vocabulary mastery by providing visual associations that support comprehension and retention. Teachers are therefore encouraged to integrate picture-based media into vocabulary instruction as a practical and engaging alternative to conventional teaching methods.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a common challenge that affects students’ confidence, participation, and oral performance in English language learning. Although previous studies have identified the causes and levels of speaking anxiety, limited attention has been given to students lived experiences and how they cope with anxiety in authentic classroom contexts. Understanding these lived experiences is essential because it provides deeper insights into the emotional and contextual factors that influence students’ willingness to communicate and enables educators to develop more responsive pedagogical practices. This study aimed to explore English Education students lived experiences of speaking anxiety at Tadulako University using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with three fourth-semester students and analyzed using Colaizzi’s Seven-Step Phenomenological Method. Four major themes emerged: sources of speaking anxiety, emotional responses during speaking activities, coping strategies, and the role of classroom support. The findings revealed that speaking anxiety was influenced by fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, classroom atmosphere, classmates’ reactions, and lecturer expectations. Students managed their anxiety through positive thinking, careful preparation, repeated practice, and AI voice chat applications, highlighting the interaction between psychological and instructional factors in shaping speaking experiences.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is an essential skill for English language learners, yet junior high school students experience difficulties in understanding narrative texts because of limited vocabulary, low reading motivation, and insufficient exposure to culturally relevant reading materials. Integrating local folktales into English instruction may enhance students’ comprehension. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of Napu folktales in improving the reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Lore Peore. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was used. The participants consisted of 40 eighth-grade students selected through total sampling. Because the population at SMP Negeri 2 Lore Peore was fewer than 100 students, 20 students from SMP Negeri 1 Lore Peore were included to complete the sample. Data were collected using a reading comprehension test consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test with SPSS version 25. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension, with the mean score increasing from 30.0250 in the pre-test to 72.5750 in the post-test (p 0.05), indicating that the use of Napu folktales effectively improved students’ reading comprehension and promoted appreciation of their local cultural heritage.
