Abstract

The study aims to determine teachers’ emotional intelligence levels based on student perspectives and is supported by principal assessments. Besides, the research aims to identify the extent of learners’ engagement and assess if there is any connection between the emotional intelligence of teachers and learning engagement in EFL classes for students. The research population included students and principals of Madrasah Aliyah 5 Garut. For this study, a sample that involved 60 students was selected using disproportional stratified random sampling techniques from class X (n=30) and class XI (n=30). To collect data, the writers used a questionnaire that evaluated variables such as teachers’ emotional intelligence and students’ learning engagement in EFL classes. The descriptive analysis method was used to analyze data, while Pearson Product Moment with SPSS 22.0 for Windows was used for bivariate analysis. The research findings suggest that the emotional intelligence level of teachers is medium from the student's point of view with an average score of 10.07, while from the principal's assessment, it is high scoring an average of 12.2. There was a moderate level of students’ learning engagement, with a mean score of 12.46. Hypothesis analysis also found that there is a positive and significant relationship between teacher emotional intelligence and student learning engagement with a fairly strong correlation level. It can be concluded that teachers need to increase their emotional intelligence so that student learning engagement in EFL classes increases.

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

Effective verbal communication, including clear explanations and constructive feedback, ensures that students comprehend the material and feel supported. Nonverbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact, significantly contributes to sustaining student engagement and motivation. This research examines teachers' various verbal and nonverbal communication techniques in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes and explores their impact on student motivation. The study involved two teachers and 57 students from senior high schools in Indonesia, employing a phenomenological qualitative approach. Data collection methods included observation checklists, interviews, and questionnaires. The analysis revealed that teachers utilized seven distinct verbal communication methods—lecturing, questioning, giving directions, providing praise and encouragement, and offering feedback—and seven nonverbal methods, including eye contact, hand movements, physical proximity, facial expressions, physical appearance, and chronemics (the strategic use of time). Among these, students rated suggestions, praise, and encouragement as the most motivating verbal interactions, while eye contact emerged as the most influential nonverbal factor. These findings underscore the need for targeted teacher training in these communication strategies to foster a more engaging and motivating learning environment, thereby enhancing student learning outcomes in Indonesian EFL contexts.

Abstract

As communication in English relies on a robust vocabulary, high school learners must now take responsibility for independently mastering vocabulary through effective learning strategies driven by the shift toward promoting learner autonomy in modern teaching methods. Therefore, this study examines the vocabulary learning strategies that English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners use autonomously outside of school and the factors that influence their strategy choices. This qualitative study utilizes questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving 66 eleventh-grade students from Istiqamah High School in Bandung, Indonesia, who completed the questionnaires and 4 of whom participated in the interviews. The results of this study reveal that learners exhibit a moderate level of autonomy and use vocabulary learning strategies at a moderate level. Metacognitive strategies are the most frequently employed, followed by determination, affective, social, compensation, memory, and cognitive strategies. The study also highlights several factors that influence learners' awareness of the importance of autonomy and the use of vocabulary learning strategies, including gender—where males tend to show higher levels of autonomy and strategy use—age, with 18-year-olds demonstrating higher autonomy and 17-year-olds more actively using vocabulary strategies, and motivation, driven by personality, goal achievement, and the desire to improve language skills. Personal consistency in learning also emerged as a critical factor in learners' success in improving their vocabulary. This research implies that students may benefit from focusing on metacognitive strategies as a practical approach to learning vocabulary in English.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) method in improving students' reading comprehension of hortatory exposition texts. Conducted with 32 grade XI social studies students at SMA PGRI 2 Bandung, the research employed a quantitative approach using a survey design and purposive sampling. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire with 16 items rated on a five-point Likert scale. The TPS method was implemented over two cycles, and results showed significant improvements in students' reading comprehension and motivation. The average perception score was 3.78, with 65.6% of students agreeing or strongly agreeing that TPS facilitated their understanding of the text. Additionally, student motivation increased, with an average score of 3.81, reflecting enhanced engagement and active participation in learning activities. Reliability testing of the instrument yielded a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.914, indicating high internal consistency. The study also highlighted the TPS method's ability to foster collaboration and critical thinking, as paired discussions enabled students to analyze arguments effectively and connect ideas within the text. These findings suggest that TPS is an effective strategy for improving comprehension and engagement in reading hortatory exposition texts, offering valuable insights for educators in creating interactive and collaborative learning environments.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental aspect of language learning. Using suitable learning strategies can help students learn and enrich their vocabulary. This study examines students' perceptions of using Game-Based Learning (GBL) in vocabulary learning. This study was conducted at SMA Istiqamah Bandung, involving 56 grade X students as participants. This study used a quantitative approach with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The analysis involved calculating frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and perception levels. We carried out direct communication and periodic reminders to ensure complete data collection. The results indicated that students viewed GBL as a fun and helpful method in learning vocabulary. They showed interest, motivation, and enthusiasm when learning vocabulary through game-based strategies. The findings also reflect a preference for a collaborative, student-centered learning environment. The students viewed GBL as a helpful strategy for vocabulary learning. We recommend further research to explore broader contexts and combine various data collection methods to gain a deeper understanding.

Abstract

Speaking English is about practice. A lack of motivation in learning can become a challenge for both students and teachers. Insufficient participation and interaction between teachers and students lead to an ineffective learning process. Communication is the key to connecting the learning process and its outcomes. Teacher talk is a verbal communication strategy that plays an essential role in the ongoing learning process. This research aims to identify the types of teacher talk frequently used by teachers and the factors influencing student participation and motivation in English-speaking classes. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method as a research design. The participants of this study were English teachers and seventh-grade students from two different private junior high schools, namely SMP KP 2 Majalaya and SMP Nusantara. The data for this study were obtained from interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis. The results showed that seventh-grade English teachers at SMP KP 2 Majalaya 100% frequently used the categories of praising, encouraging, and asking. Meanwhile, seventh-grade English teachers at SMP Nusantara 100% often use the categories of giving information and criticizing students. The three highest percentages of factors influencing students' participation and motivation in learning English show that 62% of students are happy with the way teachers give responses and corrections. Then 60% of students are happy when the teacher appreciates and encourages students through motivational words and praise. And 55% of students were happy with the way the teacher delivered the material

Abstract

Teachers usually provide Oral Corrective Feedback (OCF) to students during classroom learning, especially when learning English, which has language skills such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It causes anxiety in students, which leads to fear, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and even unmotivated. The study aims to determine the impact of the application of OCF on students' anxiety when speaking English in class. This research approach used a quantitative approach. This study used a pre-experimental with one group before- and-after design. The data were collected from 34 students of class X in the second semester at SMA 1 Ciparay. The data were collected by conducting observations, tests (pretest and posttest, and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using a paired sample test technique to determine students' speaking ability differences before and after treatment. The findings of the paired sample test indicated a substantial change in the anxiety levels of the students before and after OCF was given. Based on the hypothesis test results, the significance is (t = <.001, p < 0.05). It suggests a significant improvement in students' speaking ability compared to before and after receiving OCF. The results of this study also indicated that the use of OCF was able to reduce students' anxiety, especially when they had to speak in front of the class.
