Abstract

Speaking strategies play a vital role in enhancing communication skills and promoting meaningful engagement between speakers and their audiences. This research was aimed to investigate the both direct and indirect strategies used by students in order to succeed in their speaking lesson in English subject. The survey design was used in the research. The researcher gathered quantitative, numbered data via one-on-one questionnaires and interviews; and then, statistically analyzed the data to describe trends regarding question responses to answer the research questions. The samples were 60 students at the 12th grade of SMK Ma’arif V Kebumen in the academic year of 2022/2023. The survey revealed that in order to develop their speaking abilities, the students have adopted a number of direct and indirect speaking strategies. These strategies addressed a variety of areas, such as memory, cognition, compensation, metacognition, affective, and social interaction. Direct strategies are those that are explicitly taught to students. These include things like rehearsal, using visual, and using a dictionary. Indirect strategies are those that are not explicitly taught, but that students learn through experience. These include things like using planning, finding a speaking partner, and using humor. The study suggested that a combination of direct and indirect strategies can be effective in improving speaking skills. Teachers should consider using a variety of strategies to help their students improve their speaking skills. Keywords: Direct strategies, indirect strategies, speaking skills

Abstract

This study addresses challenges in 21st-century education, particularly the low motivation and academic performance of elementary school students. It investigates the use of multimedia-based interactive learning tools as a solution to improve engagement and learning outcomes. Focusing on the Hydrological Cycle (Theme 8) for fifth-grade students, the research aimed to develop interactive multimedia learning materials using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and assessments, then analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The findings revealed strong validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed materials. Material and media experts rated the tool’s validity at 90%, classifying it as highly valid. Practicality tests yielded scores of 98.3% from teachers and 86.9% from students, confirming its usability in classroom settings. Most notably, the tool significantly improved learning outcomes, with average test scores rising from 48.79 (pretest) to 81.47 (post-test). These results demonstrate that interactive multimedia tools can effectively enhance student motivation and academic achievement in elementary education

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the factors affecting the low use of English in the internal communication forum of the English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members. This research has the problem of the lack of use of English in internal communication among English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members as its background. Although they are the leading pioneers in the organization of language study programs, their communication still needs to improve in English, and Indonesian is more dominant in their use. This research uses qualitative methods, a case study approach with observation instruments, and semi-structured interviews. The researcher found that members of the English language association still do not use English in communication and discussion forums due to several factors, such as lack of vocabulary, confidence, worry about being wrong, and more comfortable discussing in Indonesian. Even so, the researcher suggested that association members use English more in their discussion forums to become the first step towards being good role models in their study program environment.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of using flashcards as a medium to enhance the English vocabulary of junior high school students. The research method employed is a quantitative approach, incorporating a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the research study were divided into two classes: an experimental class that received a treatment consisting of learning using flashcards, and a control class that did not receive the treatment and continued to learn using conventional methods. The instrument employed was a single-test, which was utilized to assess students' vocabulary skills following the culmination of the learning process. The findings of the data analysis demonstrated a substantial discrepancy in the vocabulary scores of students in the experimental and control classes. The utilization of flashcards as a learning aid has been demonstrated to yield higher test scores in comparison to learning without the use of media. This finding indicates that the utilization of flashcards is an effective strategy for enhancing junior high school students' English vocabulary acquisition. Consequently, flashcards emerge as a viable alternative learning strategy, characterized by its engaging, interactive nature, and ease of implementation in the context of English language instruction in schools.

Abstract

English speaking ability is an important skill that is still low among junior high school students in Indonesia, due to lack of practice, motivation, and interesting learning media. This study aims to test the effectiveness of speaking tasks that focus on self-introduction and description of favorite things in improving students' speaking ability. Using quantitative methods with quasi-experimental design, this study involved ten junior high school students selected by purposive sampling. The instrument in this study was a speaking test that measured fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehensibility. Data were analyzed to determine significant changes in students' speaking skills after the intervention. This study shows that self-introduction and description of favorite things-based learning tasks significantly improve junior high school students' English speaking ability. The statistical test results show a significant increase in Posttest scores compared to Pretest (p < 0.001), with an increase in student performance consistency. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the communicative and contextual task approach in developing speaking skills and increasing students' confidence in communicating.
