Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the effects of the use of authentic materials in teaching listening to the English Department students of UIN Ar-Raniry, Banda Aceh. The purpose was to find out whether students who got authentic materials in their listening class would get a better result compared to those who did not. The population of this study was all the second semester students who took Listening 2; then two classes were selected using random sampling as the samples; the experimental class (EG) with 25 students and  control class (CG) with 27 students. Data was collected quantitatively from the results of the pre-tests and the post-tests of listening while qualitative data was obtained from the questionnaire distributed at the end of teaching to identify the EG students’ perceptions of the use of authentic materials in listening. The findings showed that the mean post–test score from the EG at 82 was higher than that from the CG at 71, which according to the results from the t-test was significantly higher. This meant that the students who were taught using authentic materials get a significantly better result in listening than those who were taught using the usual course book materials. The responses in the questionnaires showed that the students prefered the authentic listening materials for learning listening skills as these materials were more interesting and more related to their real life context so that it motivated them to pay more attention in the listening class and this also assisted them to improve their listening abilities.

Abstract

This study was designed to discover the use of audio visual in teaching listening to the second year students of SMK Negeri 3 Langsa. The main goal of this study was to find out significant differences in students’ listening achievement taught by either audio visual or audiotape. Therefore, two classes were selected randomly as the samples from the targeted population. The first class using audio visual was an experimental group, while the second-class using audiotape was a control group. Each class consisted of 24 students provided data through pre-test and post-test. The scores of the tests were analyzed quantitatively. After examining the data collected from both groups, it was found that the mean score of the post-test of the experimental group (78,79) was higher than the mean score of the post-test of the control group (53,75). Moreover, both of scores were analyzed through ttest compared to ttable. The result of ttest was 8,44 and the result of ttable score at the level of significant degree α = 0,05 was 1,684. It displays that ttest score is higher than ttable (8,44 > 1,684). In other words, there is a significant difference in students’ listening achievement between the experimental and control groups. Thus, it can be taken into account that the alternative hypothesis is accepted, while the null hypothesis is rejected.

Abstract

This research investigates the integration of Praat technology with makhārij al-ḥurūf to enhance English pronunciation skills among students of Islamic education. The primary objective is to assist students in differentiating between long and short vowels in English through acoustic analysis using Praat, with a particular focus on duration and formant visualization. By addressing nuanced phonemic distinctions, such as the contrasts between "sheep" and "ship," the study also explores students' perceptions and challenges associated with adopting digital pronunciation techniques, including the application of Praat and digitalized makhārij al-ḥurūf. The study employed a quasi-experimental design in which one group was taught via traditional methods (control group) and the other experimental group was taught using methods that integrated Praat into instruction (experimental group). Statistical analysis indicated substantial differences between the two groups, the experimental one showed similar trends for increased scores in accuracy (80%), fluency (85%), and clarity (75%); all higher than the control group. The Likert-scale survey further indicated that experimental students perceived greater comfort and motivation when learning pronunciation with technological means. The proposed Digital-Articulatory Alignment (DAA) theory is a sequel to the traditional articulatory knowledge of Makhārij al ḥurūf but conveyed through the modern understanding of acoustic toolkits such as that of Praat. Through this novel framework, we bridged traditional practices with technology to deliver pronunciation instruction in a more engaging and impactful manner. Specifically, the results cannot be generalised to non-Islamic educational or cultural environments. Future research might adapt this method to wider locations, investigate the creation of AI-based solutions that combine articulatory and acoustic analysis, and study the residual effects on pronunciation abilities and motivation for learning. This is a new perspective on combining the traditional pronunciation teaching context in Islamic education with technology
