Abstract

The application of a Project-Based Learning (PBL) strategy and the use of video as a teaching medium for narrative writing are the main objectives of this project. The objective is to gauge the method's efficacy by looking at how grade XI students at SMA Negeri 21 Bandung perceive it. The study employs a survey design and a quantitative methodology. Descriptive statistical analysis and a questionnaire with a 5-level Likert scale were used to gather data. The validity and reliability of the research tool have been examined (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.906). The results showed that most students positively perceived PBL and video media, with an average score above 3.47 ("High" category). Students stated that PBL helps them understand the material, increase motivation, and study activeness. The implication is that video media effectively facilitates understanding concepts and increases writing confidence. This study implies that PBL and video media can be applied effectively in English language learning, significantly improving students' narrative text-writing skills. These two approaches may offer educators a workable way to raise the standard of writing instruction, particularly when it comes to teaching English.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the application of Quizizz as a formative assessment tool in teaching reading comprehension in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study examines high school students’ perceptions of quizzes as a formative assessment tool for reading comprehension within EFL contexts. It focuses on increasing digital-based learning engagement among high school students. Using a quantitative research design, this study surveyed 58 eleventh-grade students from SMA PGRI 2 Bandung who had experience using Quizizz in reading activities. Data were collected through a validated 27-item questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.898). The results revealed that the average student response was in the "High" category (M = 3.43), indicating positive perceptions across aspects such as interactivity, gamification, feedback effectiveness, and ease of use. However, some students reported challenges, including time pressure and technical limitations. This study suggests quizzes can be an effective tool for formative assessment of reading comprehension, especially when integrated with supporting instruction. The broader implications emphasize the importance of digital literacy among teachers and the need for infrastructure to support gamified assessment in EFL learning.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of music on English language learning among Generation Alpha students at SMP IT Sains Albiruni in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from five participants chosen through purposive sampling, utilizing a qualitative case study methodology. According to Automaticity Theory (LaBerge & Samuels, 1974; DeKeyser, 2001), the results indicate that 94% of students perceive vocabulary retention as more manageable when facilitated by music, whereas 100% acknowledge enhanced pronunciation. Furthermore, 89% of participants assert that music improves their enthusiasm to acquire English. Music-based learning promotes student engagement with authentic language input and enhances listening comprehension abilities. The research indicates that incorporating music-based techniques into language education improves engagement, language proficiency, and motivation among Generation Alpha students.
