Abstract

This study “aimed to improve students’ vocabulary mastery through the implementation of the Make a Match learning model at Pontrenmu Darul Arqom Natar. The research was conducted as a Classroom Action Research (CAR) in two cycles, involving 10 eighth-grade students. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected using observation, documentation, and vocabulary tests, and were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings revealed significant improvements in students’ vocabulary achievement. The average score increased from 71.6 in Cycle I with 40% mastery to 83.3 in Cycle II with 90% mastery. Qualitative observations also showed that students became more enthusiastic, confident, and actively engaged in the learning process. In conclusion, the Make a Match model proved effective not only in enhancing vocabulary mastery but also in creating an interactive and enjoyable classroom environment. Therefore, this method is recommended as an alternative strategy for teaching vocabulary.”

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of English speaking anxiety and academic achievement among second-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Lampung. Despite the recognized importance of speaking skills in EFL contexts, many Indonesian students experience significant anxiety that potentially impacts their academic performance. This research used a quantitative approach. The data were collected from 13 students through the adapted Speech Anxiety Thoughts Inventory (SATI) and speaking assessments evaluated with Brown and Abeywickrama's (2019) rubric. The Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong negative relationship between speaking anxiety and academic achievement (r = -0.876, p = 0.001), with anxiety accounting for 76.7% of the variance in speaking scores. Qualitative analysis of questionnaire responses identified fear of negative evaluation, limited vocabulary, and lack of confidence as primary anxiety sources. While the strong correlation indicates a significant relationship, the study's limitations, including small sample size and correlational design, preclude causal inferences. The finding underscores the need for pedagogical interventions addressing affective factors in language learning and suggests directions for future research with larger samples and experimentally designed.
