Abstract

This research aimed to determine whether the use of a digital-assisted platform could enhance the listening comprehension skills of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Sigi. The research used a quantitative method, adopting a quasi-experimental design. Data collection involved administering pre-tests and post-tests, with participants split into two distinct groups: an experimental group and a control group. The primary research instrument was a listening comprehension test. The researcher compared the students’ listening abilities before and after the experimental group received treatment using the digital-assisted platform. The results showed that the post-test t-count value (1.723) was greater than the t-table value (1.670) at a 0.05 significance level with 64 degrees of freedom. Based on this analysis, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In other words, the findings indicate a statistically significant difference in post-test results between the experimental group and the control group. This suggests that the use of digital-assisted platforms has a positive and significant impact on students’ listening skills.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memperkuat etika berbahasa remaja Desa Toribulu dalam komunikasi tatap muka dan komunikasi digital. Persoalan utama yang melatarbelakangi kegiatan ini ialah masih terbatasnya kemampuan sebagian remaja dalam menyesuaikan tuturan dengan lawan bicara, situasi sosial, tujuan komunikasi, serta konsekuensi pesan di media sosial. Pelatihan dirancang dengan pendekatan sosiopragmatik karena kesantunan tidak hanya ditentukan oleh pilihan kata, tetapi juga oleh kepekaan terhadap relasi sosial, norma lokal, medium komunikasi, dan dampak ujaran. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi identifikasi kebutuhan, penyampaian materi, diskusi kasus, simulasi percakapan, praktik merevisi tuturan, refleksi, serta evaluasi pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata pemahaman peserta dari 43,8% pada pre-test menjadi 85,6% pada post-test, atau meningkat 41,8%. Peningkatan tertinggi terjadi pada aspek kesadaran etika komunikasi digital sebesar 46%. Peserta mulai mampu membedakan gaya bahasa akrab dan formal, menyampaikan kritik secara lebih santun, mempertimbangkan dampak komentar digital, serta merefleksikan kebiasaan bertutur sehari-hari. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pelatihan berbasis sosiopragmatik efektif sebagai strategi pembinaan karakter komunikatif remaja desa karena menghubungkan pengetahuan bahasa, latihan praktis, empati, dan tanggung jawab sosial.

Abstract

This study aimed to ascertain whether the use of the TikTok app as a digital learning tool could enhance vocabulary acquisition among grade 11 students at MAN 2 Palu. The study was motivated by the observation that many students demonstrated low vocabulary mastery, with limited lexical resources that hindered their ability to use vocabulary effectively in productive language tasks. The researchers employed a quasi-experimental design, assigning students to two groups: an experimental class that utilised TikTok-based learning and a control class that received conventional instruction. A total of 64 students were selected through random sampling and divided equally into two groups. Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to measure vocabulary improvement. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental group (86.13) and the control group (68.84). A paired-samples t-test confirmed that the difference was statistically significant, lending support to the idea. These findings suggest that the TikTok app has a positive impact, enhancing students' vocabulary mastery. Therefore, TikTok can be considered an effective and engaging digital media platform that supports English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly in improving students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study explores the eleventh-grade students’ perceptions of using the dictation technique in English classes at Sukma Bangsa School of Sigi. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the researcher collected data from 30 students through an open-ended questionnaire and conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 purposively selected participants. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman’s interactive model (data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing). The findings show that most students hold positive perceptions of dictation: they find it interesting, challenging in a constructive way, and helpful in improving several language aspects. Respondents reported improvements in listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, spelling accuracy, and pronunciation awareness. They also noted gains in concentration, accuracy, and self-confidence. Common difficulties included the teacher’s fast reading speed, unfamiliar vocabulary, limited time for repetition, and trouble distinguishing similar sounds. To cope, students asked for repetitions, expanded vocabulary through self-study and media exposure, and compared answers with peers. The study concludes that dictation remains a relevant, low-tech technique that supports integrated language development when applied with appropriate pacing and pre-teaching of key vocabulary.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of peer support systems on students’ self-confidence and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking proficiency. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 150 English Education students from three universities in Palu, Indonesia. The questionnaire measured emotional support, feedback and correction, academic support, self-confidence, and self-perceived English-speaking skill. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and simple linear regression in Jamovi. The findings indicate that peer support has a significant positive effect on students’ self-confidence (R² = 0.217, p < .001) and self-perceived English-speaking ability (R² = 0.283, p < .001). Furthermore, mediation analysis reveals that self-confidence partially mediates the relationship between peer support and speaking ability. Although the measurement model demonstrates marginal fit based on CFI and TLI values, the RMSEA value indicates an acceptable model fit. These results highlight the importance of supportive peer environments in fostering confidence and improving speaking proficiency in EFL contexts, particularly through informal peer interactions outside the classroom.
