Abstract

One of several factors that makes students successful in learning English as a foreign language is determined by the methods and techniques used by the English teachers in English language teaching. Of course, the methods and the techniques applied by the teachers in the classroom vary from one teacher to another teacher. In addition, the methods and techniques used rely on the language skills and language components, the objective of teaching and learning designed, students’ English proficiency levels as well as the teachers’ knowledge and experience in implementing the methods and techniques used  when teaching and learning takes place in the classroom. Grammar as one of the language components has an important role to play to support the students to be able to learn and use productive skills (speaking and writing), and receptive skills (listening, and reading). Therefore, this paper limits its discussions on methods and techniques used in teaching Grammar in ELT. In this paper, the writer will discuss the definitions of methods, techniques, teaching and how the teachers apply them practically in the classroom. It is expected that this paper is useful not only to increase the quality of English teachers but also the quality of students or graduates from the schools.

Abstract

The ability to assess speaking in English language teaching is very important for English teachers because as one of language productive skills, speaking cannot be assessed directly and objectively by unqualified and inexperienced English teachers. This is in line with the teachers and lecturers law No. 14, 2005 which states that one of main duties of professional teachers is assessment. Therefore, this paper seems to be useful to improve their knowledge and understanding in assessment to avoid and reduce their subjectivity in assessing this productive skill. This paper also describes how to assess speaking skill, definitions of assessment, speaking, measurement, evaluation and test, characteristics of assessment and measurement, the difference between traditional assessment and alternative assessment. Besides, several purposes of assessment are also described in the paper to improve teachers’ insight in this topic. Keywords: assessment, speaking, evaluation, measurement, and test

Abstract

This study aims to assess and analyse the sorts of speech functions used by teachers in the tenth grade at one vocational high school in Jambi, Indonesia, and to identify the most prevalent kind. The study was carried out using descriptive qualitative research and descriptive analysis design. In this study, data were triangulated through observation and documentation. The study's targets were English teachers, and the transcribed data was divided into three categories of language functions. Holmes' concept is applied to classify speech functions. There are three types of utterance functions: expressive, imperative, and referential. The results showed that out of 60 speech functions, the directive function was applied by instructors the most frequently, accounting for 31 of them (51.66%). Directive one is the main reason, as it delivers interaction by directing and requesting the student. The study recommends that there are still many types of speech functions, but alternatively, directives are more prominent. Other researchers can gather data from many sources, including Instagram's English-language account, an English newspaper or magazine, and many more. The current study encourages English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers to complete a task and determine an assignment for future research. Given the implications of directive functions for English teachers in teaching speaking skills and the ability to inquire about something and command and request learners to perform something.

Abstract

This research used descriptive-quantitative design which aims to find out the vocabulary knowledge level of the second year students of SMAN 1 Kuantan Mudik. The sample of this research is class XI MIPA 3 of the second year students of SMAN 1 Kuantan Mudik which were chosen by using cluster random sampling technique. The number of the students is 32 students. The students were given The Updated Vocabulary Test (UVLT) that is adopted by Webb, et.al (2017). The result shows that the level of vocabulary knowledge of the second-grade students of SMAN 1 Kuantan Mudik is still below the threshold needed for reading or daily conversation. There were only 2 students who reached the mastery score at the 1000 level, and none of them at the 2000-5000 level. High frequency vocabulary will have a greater influence on students, according to Webb (2017). Teachers are recommended to increase students’ vocabulary knowledge through reading activities and additional vocabulary tasks.

Abstract

This research investigates the correlation between English study program students’ habits in reading digital English comics by using Webtoon application and their vocabulary mastery. The growing popularity of digital comic platforms like Webtoon and their increasing use by students for both leisure and language exposure provided the context for this research. The study was conducted at the English study program of Universitas Riau. Data were collected through a questionnaire on reading digital English comics habits and a vocabulary mastery test, then analyzed using Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient in IBM SPSS 25. The descriptive analysis revealed that the mean score was 3.39 for students' reading habits and 0.80 for their vocabulary mastery. The statistical analysis yielded a Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient of -0.130 and a p-value of 0.492, which is greater than the 0.05 significance level. Therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted. This led to the conclusion that there is no statistically significant correlation between the English study program students’ habits in reading digital English comics by using Webtoon application and their vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges faced by junior high school (SMP) English teachers in integrating technology into English language teaching in Riau Province, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive quantitative design supported by qualitative interview data, this research surveyed 96 SMP English teachers selected through purposive sampling from 12 districts and municipalities across Riau Province. Data were collected using a 64-item questionnaire, of which 19 items measured technology integration challenges. In this study, five challenge indicators were employed: teachers' preparedness, infrastructure limitations, curriculum design, students' access, and professional development. The instrument demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.917). Findings reveal that the overall challenge level was categorized as High (M = 3.47, SD = 0.85). Students' access emerged as the most critical challenge (M = 3.52), followed by teachers' preparedness (M = 3.45) and professional development (M = 3.44). Infrastructure limitations (M = 3.25) and curriculum design (M = 2.90) were categorized at medium. Demographic analysis revealed that private school teachers and urban teachers reported higher challenge scores. The study argues that these challenges are structural and systemic in nature, and require coordinated policy responses focused on equitable digital access, context-sensitive professional development, and pedagogically grounded curriculum reform. The findings contribute to the limited empirical literature on technology integration challenges in provincial Indonesian EFL contexts.

Abstract

This research investigates the correlation between listening habits to English songs and vocabulary mastery of the first-year English Study Program students of FKIP Universitas Riau. English songs are increasingly popular and serve as an engaging medium for language learning, offering repeated exposure to new vocabulary, improved pronunciation, and contextual understanding of words. Students with developed listening habits to English songs are less likely to feel unfamiliar with new vocabulary due to frequent exposure. This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational design, utilizing a questionnaire and vocabulary test for data collection. The Pearson Product-Moment formula, processed via SPSS, revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.714, indicating a high correlation. The null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, confirming a significant relationship between the two variables. These findings underscore that there is a high correlation between listening habits to English songs and vocabulary mastery of the first year English Study Program students of FKIP Universitas Riau.

Abstract

Compliment responses are an important indicator of pragmatic competence because they require speakers to acknowledge appreciation while avoiding excessive self-praise. This study examines the politeness strategies Indonesian university students learning English as a foreign language employ when responding to compliments, identifies the dominant strategy, and explores factors shaping their choices. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 30 undergraduate English Education students at Universitas Riau, selected purposively. Data were gathered through a Discourse Completion Task comprising ten compliment scenarios and semi-structured interviews with ten selected participants. The scenarios addressed appearance, academic achievement, language proficiency, possessions, and helpfulness in interactions. Responses were categorized using Brown and Levinson’s framework of positive politeness, negative politeness, off-record, and bald-on-record strategies, while interview data supported interpretation of students’ pragmatic considerations. Of 300 responses, positive politeness predominated (168 responses; 56%), followed by negative politeness (72; 24%), off-record strategies (42; 14%), and bald-on-record strategies (18; 6%). Students commonly expressed gratitude, accepted positive evaluations, and reinforced interpersonal solidarity. Negative politeness reflected modesty and efforts to minimize self-praise, whereas off-record responses often redirected credit to others or external circumstances. Strategy selection varied with compliment topics and contextual considerations, including familiarity, social distance, and interlocutor status. These findings suggest that participants demonstrated awareness of the interpersonal demands of compliment responses, although their strategy use varied across situations. The study highlights the value of explicit pragmatic instruction through role plays, discourse completion activities, and conversational analysis to support contextually appropriate English communication in university classrooms.
