Abstract

This library research reviews recent studies on the use of picture series to improve students’ writing skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Writing is often difficult for students because they have trouble finding ideas, organizing sentences, and using correct grammar. Many teachers and researchers have tried different ways to help students write better. One popular technique is using picture series as visual aids. This study collected data from five recent articles published between 2019 and 2024. The reviewed studies used different methods, including experimental research, classroom action research, and qualitative reviews. All studies reported positive results. Students who learned writing through picture series were more motivated, could organize their ideas better, and wrote more creatively. Even students with low English skills improved when teachers used pictures to support their writing. However, some teachers reported challenges, such as preparing good picture materials and managing large classes during picture-based activities. Despite these challenges, the findings strongly suggest that picture series are an effective and engaging tool for teaching writing. They help students become more confident and reduce the fear of writing in English. This research recommends that teachers use picture series more often, especially in EFL contexts, and that future studies explore digital picture tools to make this technique even more practical in modern classrooms.

Abstract

AbstractTikTok platform has been one of innovative social media in bridging English Language Teaching (ELT). Thus, this study aims to prove whether the use of the TikTok platform, especially the duet and vlog video features can improve the speaking skills of tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Moutong. Three components of speaking skills, namely fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility were the focus of this study. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was utilized. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample size of 31 students. The data were collected through speaking tests in terms of pre-test and post-test. The analysis results point out that the mean pre-test score of the students was 40, while the mean post-test score increased to 64. The statistical test used a t-test with degrees of freedom (df) = n – 1 = 31 – 1 = 30, resulting in a t-counted value of 16,30, while the t-table value at the 0.05 significance level was 2,042. Thus, the t-counted value is higher than the t-table value, so the research hypothesis is accepted. This proves that the use of the TikTok platform can improve students' speaking skills, particularly in terms of fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. These findings suggest that teachers can use TikTok as an effective alternative tool in English-speaking learning to improve students' motivation, creativity, and participation in class.Keywords: Accuracy, Comprehensibility, Fluency, Speaking, TikTok platform
