Abstract

This research assessed how digital storytelling (DST) could enhance the junior high school students' oral proficiency skills in speaking the English language in the context of Islamic schooling in Indonesia. The research deployed a quasi – experimental design within the context of an Islamic school setting. The sample consisted of 64 students. 31 students comprised the experimental class who received instruction through the use of DST while 33 students made the control class who were taught using traditional instructional techniques. The data was collected through administered tests which assessed the students' speaking through various parameters. To understand the progress of the student's scores within the two groups the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was utilized. It was found out that all of the students improved in their speaking skills but the experimental group had higher scores. This shows DST has a high positive effect on students’ oral performance. DST gave positive impact on student's enthusiasm, teamwork and confidence in using the language was also noted. The students’ level of DST speaking discipline was high which suggests the technique is useful. The implications of this study point towards DST to strengthen the students’ motivation, performance and speaking competency.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the specific difficulties faced by fifth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Muria Kudus during their tour guide simulation in the Intercultural Communication class. The research focuses on linguistic and non-linguistic obstacles that hinder students from communicating effectively while explaining local cultural values and historical sites in English. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that grammar was the most dominant difficulty, followed by pronunciation and vocabulary limitations. Affective factors such as nervousness and lack of self-confidence also influenced students’ performance.

Abstract

Merujuk pada hasil survei Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA) yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018, kemampuan literasi dan numerasi para siswa Indonesia berada pada posisi lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan siswa di negara-negara lain. Posisi Indonesia pada tahun 2018 untuk membaca berada di peringkat 72 dari 77 negara, dan sains berada di peringkat 70 dari 78 negara (OECD, 2018).  Melihat tingkat literasi yang rendah dari para siswa di Indonesia, maka harus ada upaya yang terus menerus untuk meningkatkan literasi mereka, mengingat literasi menjadi tuntutan bagi para siswa/peserta didik untuk memenuhi kualifikasi kompetensi di abad 21 ini. Saat ini Kemendikbudristek telah mencanangkan penggunaan Kurikulum Merdeka pada satuan-satuan pendidikan di Indonesia. Pengembangan literasi menjadi salah satu fokus dan perhatian pada kurikulum ini sedikit banyak telah mendorong para peneliti, guru dan praktisi pendidikan untuk melakukan eksplorasi keilmuan dalam mengembangkan berbagai model pembelajaran yang menyenangkan, sesuai dengan ragam karakteristik peserta didik dan mampu memacu mereka untuk mengembangkan literasi. Oleh karena itulah, kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pelatihan dan pendampingan para guru Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 6 Blora untuk mengembangkan Model Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Berbasis “Critical Thinking”.
