Abstract

Selecting the appropriate text for reading material is important to be considered by an English teacher. The text should be evaluated for its complexity before being used in reading class. If the text is too difficult the students may be intimidated and if the text is too easy the students may be bored and be unmotivated. This issue is rarely touched by the teacher in Indonesia. This paper examines the use of TextEvaluator to analyze the reading material in Senior High School English Course Book Grade X. There are thirteen texts found in the book, and all of them were analyzed. The result reveals that only two texts are appropriate to Grade X. One text is above Grade X and ten texts are below Grade X.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) method in improving students' reading comprehension of hortatory exposition texts. Conducted with 32 grade XI social studies students at SMA PGRI 2 Bandung, the research employed a quantitative approach using a survey design and purposive sampling. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire with 16 items rated on a five-point Likert scale. The TPS method was implemented over two cycles, and results showed significant improvements in students' reading comprehension and motivation. The average perception score was 3.78, with 65.6% of students agreeing or strongly agreeing that TPS facilitated their understanding of the text. Additionally, student motivation increased, with an average score of 3.81, reflecting enhanced engagement and active participation in learning activities. Reliability testing of the instrument yielded a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.914, indicating high internal consistency. The study also highlighted the TPS method's ability to foster collaboration and critical thinking, as paired discussions enabled students to analyze arguments effectively and connect ideas within the text. These findings suggest that TPS is an effective strategy for improving comprehension and engagement in reading hortatory exposition texts, offering valuable insights for educators in creating interactive and collaborative learning environments.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental aspect of language learning. Using suitable learning strategies can help students learn and enrich their vocabulary. This study examines students' perceptions of using Game-Based Learning (GBL) in vocabulary learning. This study was conducted at SMA Istiqamah Bandung, involving 56 grade X students as participants. This study used a quantitative approach with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The analysis involved calculating frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and perception levels. We carried out direct communication and periodic reminders to ensure complete data collection. The results indicated that students viewed GBL as a fun and helpful method in learning vocabulary. They showed interest, motivation, and enthusiasm when learning vocabulary through game-based strategies. The findings also reflect a preference for a collaborative, student-centered learning environment. The students viewed GBL as a helpful strategy for vocabulary learning. We recommend further research to explore broader contexts and combine various data collection methods to gain a deeper understanding.

Abstract

Many EFL students feel that speaking in English is the most difficult skill, So this triggers the emergence of speaking anxiety among students. This study aims to analyze the level of anxiety in speaking English as well as the factors that influence speaking anxiety among the 11th grade students of SMKN 1 Stabat. The study used a qualitative approach with random sampling technique in class XI of Beauty and Spa Management which totaled 27 students. Google Form was used to distribute the questionnaire, which is based on the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) by Horwitz et al. (1986) and has 31 question items formatted in a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2007, along with interviews and observations. The majority of students reported experiencing moderate levels of anxiety, with test anxiety being the most common.  According to Horwtz et al. (1986), the elements of student speaking anxiety are divided into three categories: test anxiety, communicative fear, and fear of receiving poor judgment. A homogeneous and supportive learning environment, where all students come from the same major and gender, plays an important role in reducing anxiety levels. The negative impact of anxiety on students' speaking performance was not significant as students were able to manage their anxiety well. This finding confirms the importance of creating a conducive learning environment to increase students' confidence and active participation in English language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the PPP (Presentation, Practice, and Production) method in improving descriptive text writing skills among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri Bandung. The PPP method is implemented through three stages: Presentation, Practice, and Production. In the Presentation stage, the teacher delivers the material in a structured manner. In the Practice stage, students engage in guided writing practice. Whereas in the Production stage, students produce writing independently. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, employing the one-group pretest-posttest technique. Data were collected through descriptive writing tests before and after the implementation of the PPP method. The research results show a significant improvement in students' writing skills after the implementation of the PPP method. The average pretest score of 56.94 increased to 68.85 on the posttest. Statistical analysis using the paired t-test showed a significance value (p < 0.05), which means that the PPP method is effective in improving students' descriptive writing skills. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the PPP method is an effective teaching strategy and is recommended for use in teaching descriptive text writing.

Abstract

This study aims to determine English Language Education students' perceptions of the teaching profession and the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG), and their influence on their interest in becoming professional teachers, using the Social Cognitive Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior as theoretical frameworks. This research uses a quantitative method with an ex post facto associative-causal design. Data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale, then analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis with the help of SPSS 25. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the majority of respondents have a high perception of the teaching profession (69%), a moderate perception of the PPG (76%), and a moderate interest in becoming professional teachers (60%). The results of the partial t-test show that perception of the teaching profession (t = 2.279; p = 0.025) and perception of the PPG (t = 2.910; p = 0.005) significantly influence interest in becoming a professional teacher. The simultaneous ANOVA test (F = 32.321; p < 0.001) confirms that both variables have a significant effect, with a coefficient of determination value of R² = 0.432. This means these two perceptions can explain 43.2% of the variance in interest in becoming a professional teacher.

Abstract

Reading is one of the skills that plays a role in expanding vocabulary, mastering reading content, and sentence structure. Word recognition skills, reading accuracy, and reading rate are aspects that need to be improved. Therefore, teachers can find out the abilities of each individual student through various assessment media. This study aims to determine whether the Informal Reading Inventory (IRI) can assess students' word recognition and reading aloud abilities, as well as determine how many words students can say in one minute. The author used a qualitative method with a descriptive research design involving 32 eighth-grade students as participants. Data were obtained through interviews with English teachers, oral reading tests, and students' perceptions of the IRI implementation. The results showed that some students still had difficulty recognizing words, and many students made pronunciation errors on words they were less familiar with. The word recognition assessment results indicated that 17 students were still at the Frustration level. In terms of reading accuracy, all students had difficulty reading the word “Frightened.” Regarding reading comprehension ability, 15 students scored below 50%, while in terms of reading speed, students were at the second level. This study concluded that the use of IRI is effective as an assessment media to identify students' individual reading abilities. This study emphasizes the importance of training and providing varied learning media to improve students' word recognition and reading aloud abilities.

Abstract

Despite years of English instruction, many Indonesian senior high school students remain hesitant to speak due to anxiety, fear of mistakes, and low self-efficacy. Speaking confidence is influenced by both internal factors, such as self-perception, motivation, and linguistic competence, and external factors, including teacher support, peer interaction, and classroom environment. This study aims to identify and analyze the internal and external determinants of students’ confidence in speaking English. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to 25 eleventh-grade students at MA Sirnamiskin Bandung. Responses were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes. Findings reveal that psychological barriers—such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and fear of negative evaluation—significantly hinder students’ confidence. External elements, including supportive teacher feedback, peer encouragement, and school programs like English Day, were found to enhance confidence. Consistent practice through media exposure and real-life interactions also contributed positively. The study concludes that improving speaking confidence requires a holistic approach that addresses emotional, social, and experiential aspects of learning. These results provide practical implications for teachers and school administrators to design supportive and engaging speaking activities that foster students’ confidence in English communication.
