Abstract

This study focused on analyzing the common errors made by students in their English writing skills. The study employed a descriptive research design, involving 100 EFL university students as participants. The primary data collection method was a writing test, and the collected data were analyzed using error analysis techniques. The findings showed that the most common errors made by the students were related to grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. The most common grammatical errors were associated with subject-verb agreement, verb tense, and articles. In terms of vocabulary errors, the study identified prevalent mistakes such as the incorrect use of word forms, inappropriate collocations, and confusion between homophones. Additionally, the analysis of spelling errors revealed that phonetic spelling mistakes were the most common, followed by misspelling of homophones and confusion of vowels. These findings highlight areas where students commonly struggle with their English writing skills and emphasize the crucial need for targeted instructional strategies to effectively address these challenges and improve students' proficiency in English writing.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of the ReadToMe application on reading fluency and motivation among eighth-grade Indonesian EFL learners. Twenty-six students from SMP Negeri 1 Tutallu were randomly assigned to experimental (n=13) and control (n=13) groups. The experimental group received instruction using the ReadToMe application with narrative texts, while the control group followed conventional textbook-based methods over six weeks. Reading fluency was assessed through pre-test and post-test measurements using validated rubrics evaluating accuracy, pronunciation, and intonation. Student motivation was measured post-intervention through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire examining five dimensions: curiosity, challenge, grades, involvement, and competition. Results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with mean scores increasing from 45.85 to 76.00 (N-Gain=0.5484), compared to the control group's increase from 46.31 to 56.77 (N-Gain=0.2015). Independent samples t-test confirmed statistical significance (p<.001) with a very large effect size (Cohen's d=2.67). Questionnaire analysis indicated high motivation levels (80.00%) among experimental group students. These findings suggest that the ReadToMe application effectively enhances both reading fluency and motivation in narrative text instruction, offering practical implications for EFL teachers seeking technology-integrated approaches to address reading challenges in Indonesian educational contexts.

Abstract

Google Classroom (GC) has been widely adopted as a learning management system in higher education; however, limited studies have specifically examined its role as a task management platform in EFL reading courses, particularly in regional universities with digital infrastructure disparities. This study examines the perceptions, practices, and challenges of 98 third-semester EFL students enrolled in the Reading for Information course at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. A concurrent mixed-methods design was employed, combining a structured questionnaire with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sessions involving 34 student groups across five class sections. The findings show that 94.9% of students use GC regularly, with Likert-scale effectiveness ratings ranging from M = 4.31 to M = 4.57 across four task management dimensions. The deadline notification feature was identified as most beneficial by 95.9% of respondents; as a key external scaffold, it actively supported students' academic self-regulation throughout the course. Students widely appreciated GC's role in consolidating task organization and enhancing instructional transparency. However, unstable internet connectivity remained the primary structural challenge, disproportionately affecting students in rural areas. Interpreted through TAM and SRL theory, the findings underscore GC's pedagogical value and the urgent need for equity-responsive institutional connectivity policies in digitally underserved higher education contexts.

Abstract

Semantris Google AI-Based Learning research has examined the students' disinterest and low level of vocabulary acquisition in English subject at MTs DDI Takkalasi. The students cited difficulty in pronunciation and other reasons for their lack of enthusiasm towards English as a difficult subject. This lack of interest and motivation is due to the absence of an interesting and enjoyable learning environment, which hinders students' ability to concentrate on their studies. In addition, the limited application of modern technology in the learning process makes this a problem that must be addressed given the increasingly advanced era. The research employed a quasi-experimental design to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention in improving students' English language proficiency. The study utilized a quantitative approach, conducting pre-test and post-test analyses to measure the impact of the intervention. The pre-test served as a baseline measurement, while the post-test assessed the outcomes after implementing the intervention. The researcher employed a quota sampling technique to select participants. The results of the Semantris Google AI-Based Learning study showed a significant difference in vocabulary improvement between the two groups, as evidenced by the T-count value of 6.858, exceeding the critical T-table value of 2.060. The rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) is supported by the mean N gain value of 0.4249 obtained from the experimental class, which falls within the moderate range according to the N gain table. This finding confirms that the use of Semantris Google AI-Based Learning is very effective in improving the vocabulary mastery of MTs DDI Takkalasi students.

Abstract

Writing is a critical skill for English language learners, enabling them to express ideas effectively. This study investigates the narrative writing abilities of second-grade students at SMPN 5 Wonomulyo, Indonesia, focusing on five key aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. Employing a mixed-method approach, data were collected through writing tests and teacher interviews. The findings reveal that a majority of students (60%) failed to meet the minimum standard of writing proficiency. Content and vocabulary were identified as the most challenging aspects, with many students struggling to generate coherent ideas and use appropriate language. Interviews with the teacher highlighted contributing factors, including limited vocabulary, lack of practice, and reliance on conventional teaching methods. The study emphasizes the need for innovative, student-centered approaches to enhance narrative writing skills, such as collaborative writing exercises, peer feedback, and digital storytelling tools. Vocabulary enrichment and regular writing practice are also critical for improving performance. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on EFL writing and offers practical recommendations for improving teaching practices.

Abstract

Mastering grammatical structures remains challenging for English as a Foreign Language learners in contexts with limited authentic language exposure. This quasi-experimental study examined whether mobile application integration could enhance Simple Present Tense acquisition among 34 seventh-grade students at a public junior high school in Majene, Indonesia. Participants were assigned to either an experimental group (n=17) receiving instruction through the English Grammar: Learn and Test application or a control group (n=17) following conventional textbook-based methods. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured grammar mastery across parts of speech, inflection, and syntax dimensions. Results revealed substantial improvement in the experimental group, with mean scores increasing from 20.94 to 72.12 (p < .001, Cohen's d = 1.95), while the control group showed modest gains (29.18 to 50.94). Notably, 82.4% of experimental participants achieved mastery level compared to 11.8% in the control group. Student perceptions measured through a 15-item questionnaire indicated strong acceptance (M = 4.31), with particularly high ratings for perceived usefulness. Despite sample size limitations, findings suggest that strategically integrated mobile applications can significantly enhance grammar learning when traditional methods prove insufficient, offering practical solutions for resource-constrained educational settings.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition remains a persistent challenge in EFL classrooms, particularly where students have minimal exposure to English outside school. Conventional instructional methods often fail to sustain motivation or produce meaningful vocabulary gains. This study examines the effectiveness of the Spelling Bee Game as a game-based vocabulary learning strategy among eighth-grade students at SMPN 4 Pamboang, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed, involving 39 students divided into an experimental class (n=19) and a control class (n=20). The experimental group received vocabulary instruction through three Spelling Bee variations, while the control group followed conventional methods. Data were gathered through vocabulary tests and a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring learning interest. Results showed that the experimental group's mean score rose substantially from 46.6 to 79.5, compared to a modest gain from 47.25 to 66.5 in the control group. An independent sample t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (Sig. = 0.000). The questionnaire yielded an overall average of 86.2%, classified as Excellent, indicating strong student interest in the approach. These findings suggest that Spelling Bee Game offers a viable and engaging alternative to conventional vocabulary instruction in low-exposure EFL settings.

Abstract

The objectives of the study are to assess the students' reading performance and explore their problems in comprehending English texts. To achieve these objectives, a descriptive research design was employed. The participants consisted of 76 English Department students from the Faculty of Teachers Training and Education at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Majene, Indonesia. Two instruments were used in this study. First, a test was administered to measure students' reading performance. Second, a questionnaire in the form of a Google Form was employed to gather students' self-reported responses regarding their problems and difficulties in reading English texts. The findings revealed that the students' mean score on the reading performance test was 47.24, indicating a relatively low reading performance among the students. Moreover, the questionnaire responses indicated that most students reported encountering problems and difficulties in comprehending English reading texts. Consequently, it can be inferred that students' reading performance is adversely affected by these challenges. Based on the results, this study recommends the integration of learning media, technological tools, and effective reading strategies to address the identified problems and improve students' reading skills. These practical recommendations aim to provide educators and researchers with actionable strategies to improve the reading proficiency of EFL students.
