Abstract

This research aimed to examine the effect of using Tiktok as a learning tool in enhancing students’ English-speaking proficiency and learning motivation. A pre-experimental design with a quantitative approach was employed, involving 28 tenth-grade students from class X4 at SMAN 6 Gowa. The instruments used were a speaking test (pre-test and post-test) and a learning motivation questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to calculate the mean scores, and inferential statistics through a Paired Samples T-Test in SPSS to determine the significance of the differences. The results showed that students’ speaking proficiency improved, with the mean score increasing from 38.46 to 61.43. Furthermore, students’ learning motivation also showed a significant improvement, with the mean score increasing from 40.36 to 62.11. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test indicated a significance value (p-value) of 0.000 (< 0.05) for both variables, confirming that the enhancements were statistically significant.Keywords: TikTok, Speaking Proficiency, Learning Motivation, Learning Tool

Abstract

Second language acquisition (SLA) research has extensively examined language learning in formal, often monolingual, classroom settings, there is a noticeable lack of empirical investigation into how polyglots acquire, manage, and sustain multiple languages. This gap is particularly significant given the rising importance of multilingualism in a globalized world and the proven cognitive, cultural, and professional benefits it offers. This qualitative case study examines the language learning strategies of Indonesian polyglot proficient in seven languages: Indonesian, English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, and Latin. Through a purposive sampling method, the participant was interviewed via Zoom, and data were analysed using Oxford’s (1990) taxonomy of language learning strategies. The study identified both direct strategies (memory, cognitive, compensation) and indirect strategies (metacognitive, affective, social) used by the participant. Findings reveal that the participant’s language proficiency is achieved through a strategic integration of diverse methods tailored to specific goals and contexts. Motivation driven by extrinsic factors like scholarships, personal interests, and intrinsic spiritual reasons played an important part of learning a language intensity. The participant preferred structured tools, analytical comparisons, and regular practice, while affective and social strategies helped manage emotional challenges and maintain motivation. This study supports Oxford’s framework and highlights the importance of clear goals, sustained motivation, and community engagement in successful multilingual acquisition.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyse the influence of using traditional and digital English textbooks to improve students' learning interest. The research employed a quantitative method using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects were 29 students of class XII.1 at SMAN 9 Tana Toraja, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected through pre- and post-observations. The results showed that the use of traditional textbooks increased the average learning interest score from 13.93 to 16.45, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), an effect size of 0.69 (medium category), and an N-Gain in the low category. Meanwhile, the use of digital textbooks increased the score from 15.76 to 23.55, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), an effect size of 1.84 (large category), and an N-Gain in the high category. Thus, both traditional and digital textbooks have a significant influence on improving students’ learning interest.

Abstract

In the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in higher education, Intensive Listening courses are expected to prepare students for the demands of academic listening yet teaching practices do not always align with students' actual needs. This study explores the impact of students' listening needs on the development of lecturers' pedagogical competencies in Intensive Listening courses. Using a mixed-methods needs analysis design, data were collected from 120 students in three classes through questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while observation and interview data were analyzed thematically and combined through triangulation. The research findings indicate that students prioritize academic listening as their primary goal, but still struggle with lexical density, high speech rate, accent variation, and note-taking when dealing with long spoken texts involving multiple speakers. Students also strongly prefer multimodal and scaffolded activities, particularly video-based materials supported by transcripts or subtitles and clear guidance at the pre-listening, during-listening, and post-listening stages. These needs point to specific areas where lecturers' pedagogical competencies need to be strengthened, including planning and designing academic listening tasks, implementing process-oriented instruction and strategies, and implementing assessments that truly reflect the demands of academic listening. This study proposes the EPMT (ESP-informed, Process-oriented, Metacognitive, and TPACK-supported) model as a practical framework for aligning Intensive Listening pedagogy with students' needs.

Abstract

This research aims to explore teachers’ perspectives on managing disruptive student behavior in EFL classrooms. It employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The subject of this study is an English teacher at SMAN 9 Kepulauan Selayar who deals with disruptive student behavior in EFL classrooms. The results of the research show that teachers have diverse perspectives on five types of disruptive behavior: classroom disruption, aggression, confrontation, disengagement, and wandering. Most of these behaviors, such as classroom disruption, verbal aggression, disengagement, and wandering, are perceived negatively because they disrupt students’ concentration, hinder the learning process, and create an unproductive classroom atmosphere. Meanwhile, teachers exhibit a more neutral perspective toward physical aggression, passive aggression, and confrontation due to the limited occurrence of these behaviors or differing interpretations of them.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by English teachers in improving learning effectiveness through classroom management in EFL classrooms at the junior high school level. The study focuses on (1) identifying the main challenges encountered by teachers in managing EFL classrooms and (2) examining the strategies implemented by teachers to overcome these challenges and improve learning effectiveness. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research design conducted at SMPN 18 Makassar. The participants of the study were two English teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the qualitative data analysis model proposed by Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers faced several challenges, including students’ low basic English proficiency, lack of attention, discipline, and participation, differences in students’ characteristics and learning readiness, difficulties in using English as the medium of instruction, and school environmental factors. To address these challenges, teachers applied several strategies such as establishing classroom rules and agreements, using engaging activities, gradually using English during instruction, providing appreciation and motivation, and implementing group or pair work. These strategies helped create a more conducive classroom environment, maintain classroom control, and improve student engagement and learning effectiveness in EFL classrooms.
