Abstract

English is a crucial medium of communication, with fluency in four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Speaking is one of the most challenging skills, as it allows students to engage in conversations, express meaning, and express opinions. Thinking is a key factor in developing speaking abilities, as it helps individuals solve issues, make decisions, and achieve goals. This research aimed to measure the correlation between students' critical thinking and their speaking skills. A quantitative study of 14 first-semester students of the Diploma 4 Health Promotion study program at Sari Mulia University found a weak correlation (rho coefficient 0.209, sig. score 0.494). The results reject the alternative hypothesis (Ha), indicating that there is no significant correlation between students' critical thinking and speaking ability, confirming the null hypothesis (Ho), is accepted.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the effect of Learning Management System (LMS) supported blended learning on students’ English proficiency in English for Academic Purpose (EAP) classroom. Previous studies have explored the broader benefits of blended learning. However, there is a lack of studies specifically investigating its impact on EAP instruction. This study aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of LMS-supported blended learning in EAP, contributing to a deeper understanding of its potential benefits and challenges in this specialized area of language education. This research implies quasi experimental study method with one group pretest posttest experimental design. The population of this research was 138 students of pharmacy study program of Sari Mulia University academic year 2023/2024 who took EAP course divided into three classes. The sample of this research was 45 of class A students who were selected using cluster random sampling technique. The result found that LMS supported blended learning has no significant effect on students’ English mastery in EAP classroom. This indicates that main hypothesis (H1) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (H0) is accepted. Nevertheless, LMS supported blended learning is still helpful and applicable in EAP instruction since the students’ mean score indicates small improvement on their English proficiency.
