Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of using Canva as a digital writing tool in enhancing students’ descriptive writing. Contrary to the other studies, the current research focuses on examining Canva’s effectiveness as a digital writing tool to assist students in developing their descriptive writing skill. It should be stated that the main motivation for conducting the current study is the poor ability of students to organize ideas, lack of vocabulary, and lack of interest in writing descriptive texts. To conduct the research, researchers followed the quasi-experimental design, including pre-test and post-test with a control group. The participants of this study comprised of 31 eleventh-grade students studying at MAN 1 Palu, whereof 16 of them were placed in the experimental group while the other 15 students formed the control group. In order to perform the experiment, the researchers designed several activities during six sessions. Descriptive text writing test was employed as the data collection technique, which was later analysed using descriptive statistics and aided by the Independent Samples t-test in conjunction with the use of SPSS. Consequently, the following findings emerged as a result. The mean score for the experimental group was raised from 52.00 in the pre-test to 68.81 in the post-test. For the control group, the score increased from 49.40 to 56.60. From the results of the Independent Samples t-test, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.002 < 0.05). Additionally, the effect size showed a large effect (Cohen’s d = 1.236), signifying practical importance.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most difficult areas of EFL students and despite the common knowledge of storytelling as a useful tool, there is little research on the particular effects of storytelling on fluency, accuracy, and understanding in junior high schools in Indonesia. The purpose of the study is to examine how eighth-grade students at SMP Kristen Bala Keselamatan Palu are influenced in terms of speaking ability by storytelling. The quasi-experimental design was applied, which included pre-test and post-test control groups, 60 students were used in the study and were chosen using the cluster random sampling technique, 30 students were assigned the experimental group and 30 students were assigned the control group. Oral speaking tests were used to gather data which were rated using an analytical rubric and the outcomes showed that the experimental group had a higher mean gain score (4.17) than the control group (1.97) with a significant difference (p < 0.05) and large effect size (Cohen d = -1.10). These results suggest that storytelling can be not only statistically, but also pedagogically significant, as it promotes fluency, confidence, and general communicative proficiency of students in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study explored the intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping EFL students' speaking confidence at an Islamic senior high school in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five eleventh-grade EFL students who were purposively selected based on their varying levels of active participation and speaking ability in English classes. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in factors affecting speaking confidence. The findings revealed five intrinsic factors shaping speaking confidence: (1) self-esteem (moderate to high levels), (2) motivation (integrative and instrumental types), (3) language proficiency (intermediate to advanced self-rated ability), (4) language anxiety (moderate to high levels), and (5) past speaking experiences (positive or negative). Four extrinsic factors emerged: (1) teacher support (encouragement, corrective feedback, patience), (2) peer influence (supportive versus critical responses), (3) classroom atmosphere (competitive versus collaborative), and (4) institutional speaking programs (debate clubs, English days). Students who received consistent positive feedback and supportive peer interactions demonstrated increased willingness to communicate, while those experiencing fear of making mistakes or negative peer responses showed reduced participation. This study contributes to EFL research by providing context-specific insights from an Indonesian Islamic senior high school setting, demonstrating that speaking confidence is dynamically shaped through the interaction between learners' psychological conditions and their learning environment. The findings offer practical implications for EFL educators to create supportive classroom conditions and implement structured speaking opportunities.

Abstract

This research aimed at providing whether the use of summarizing strategy can improve reading comprehension of the eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 5 palu. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 49 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The selected classes were class XI M2 and class XI M3. Furthermore, the research data were collected through a reading test administered twice as pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given to the experimental and control groups before treatment while the post-test was given to both groups after the treatment. The mean score of the experimental group on the pre-test was 41.52 and the control group was 53.55. Then, the mean score of the post-test for the experimental group was 83.04 and the control group was 89.80. The data were analyzed statistically using the t-test formula with degrees of freedom (df) = Nx + Ny - 2 = 26 + 23 - 2 = 47. The findings show that the t counted value is 2.342 while the t-table value is 2.011. This means that the t counted is higher than the t-table. Therefore, the research hypothesis is accepted. This finding answered the question from the problem formulation that the use of summarizing strategy can improve the reading comprehension of the eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 5 palu. The implication of this finding is that teachers need to use summarizing strategy in teaching reading comprehension designed to make students be able to express  ideas, perform better reading, and develop their creative thinking in class. Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Summarizing Strategy.
