Abstract

In an increasingly globalized world, English proficiency is essential for academic and professional success. However, many first-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang remain at a basic proficiency level, which hinders their progression toward intermediate competence as required by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This research addresses the lack of tailored instructional materials that support students’ transition from basic to intermediate proficiency. This study aims to design and develop instructional materials based on a comprehensive needs analysis. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the research engaged 30 first-semester students, three lecturers, and five alumni. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, diagnostic tests, pretests, posttests, and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests, while qualitative data were examined thematically. The findings revealed that students faced significant challenges in speaking fluently, comprehending oral input at natural speed, identifying main ideas in reading, and organizing ideas in writing. The developed instructional materials, which integrated task-based and skill-based approaches aligned with CEFR descriptors, demonstrated effectiveness in bridging these gaps. Posttest results showed significant improvement across all four language skills, confirming the materials’ role in supporting students’ transition toward intermediate proficiency. This research contributes to English language education by providing empirically validated instructional materials that respond to learners’ actual needs. It offers practical implications for lecturers, institutions, and future researchers in designing relevant and level-appropriate English learning resources.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan metode pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris guna meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara (speaking) siswa di UPT SMAN 4 Sidrap. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya keberanian dan keterampilan siswa dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris secara lisan dalam proses pembelajaran. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah pendekatan pembelajaran komunikatif dengan menerapkan berbagai strategi seperti diskusi kelompok, tanya jawab, role play, dan penggunaan media pembelajaran sederhana yang menarik. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk praktik mengajar langsung kepada siswa kelas X dan XII selama pelaksanaan Program Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan (PLP) II. Hasil dari penerapan metode ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan keaktifan siswa, kepercayaan diri dalam berbicara Bahasa Inggris, serta peningkatan kemampuan mengungkapkan ide secara lisan. Selain itu, suasana kelas menjadi lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Dengan demikian, pengembangan metode pembelajaran yang variatif dan komunikatif terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa. Diharapkan metode ini dapat diterapkan secara berkelanjutan oleh guru untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di sekolah.

Abstract

Kelurahan Balleangin merupakan salah lokasi perburuan lebah hutan di kaki Gunung Bulusaraung Kabupaten Pangkep. Perburuan dan pemanenan madu lebah hutan masih menggunakan teknik pengasapan dan pemanenan semua sisiran sarang lebah hutan. Teknik perburuan dan panen madu yang demikian akan dapat mengancam kelestarian lebah hutan. Metode yang diterapkan dalam kegiatan ini mulai dari survei lokasi, identifikasi permasalahan masyarakat dengan hutan dan hasil hutan bukan kayu berupa lebah hutan serta analisis solusi pemecahan masalah. Masyarakat melakukan perburuan lebah hutan dengan cara berkelompok yang umumnya terdiri 3 orang dan berusia produktif di bawah 55 tahun. Dua hal yang selalu menjadi ancaman kelestarian lebah dan habitatnya, yaitu pertama cara mengusir lebah masih menggunakan pengasapan berupa obor kemudian ditambatkan pada tiang panjang sesuai ketinggian sarang lebah dan kedua adalah cara panen madu dengan mengambil semua sisiran sarang yang melekat di dahan pohon.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Quizizz Paper Mode an offline, printable adaptation of the gamified Quizizz platform in enhancing fifth-grade students’ engagement and motivation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning at SDN 5 Arawa, a low-resource public elementary school in rural South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Amid persistent challenges of low participation and motivation in conventional paper-based EFL instruction, particularly in technology-limited settings, the research investigates whether this low-tech gamified tool can foster more interactive and motivating classroom experiences. Adopting a descriptive qualitative design, the study collected data through structured classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected fifth-grade students and their English teacher. Observations focused on three dimensions of engagement behavioral, emotional, and cognitive alongside indicators of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Interview responses provided in-depth insights into participants’ perceptions and experiences. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s (2014) interactive model, with triangulation ensuring credibility. Findings revealed that Quizizz Paper Mode significantly improved all aspects of student engagement. Students exhibited greater behavioral participation and persistence, heightened emotional enthusiasm, enjoyment, and confidence, and stronger cognitive focus, effortful thinking, and strategy use. Both intrinsic motivation (interest, curiosity, and enjoyment) and extrinsic motivation (competition, scoring, and achievement orientation) increased markedly due to the tool’s game-like elements such as time limits, immediate feedback, and ranking systems. Participants and the teacher perceived the activity as more enjoyable and less anxiety-inducing than traditional assessments. The tool proved highly practical and inclusive in low-resource classrooms, requiring no internet access or personal digital devices. This research concludes that Quizizz Paper Mode is an effective, accessible, and equitable strategy for boosting engagement and motivation in primary EFL learning within resource-constrained contexts. Practical implications for teachers and recommendations for future studies are discussed.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of AI chatbot-based English learning methods, specifically using TalkPal AI, in improving eleventh-grade students’ speaking skills at SMAN 11 Sidrap, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed for the quantitative phase, while semi-structured interviews provided qualitative insights into students’ perceptions. The experimental group (n = 18 for post-test) engaged in interactive speaking practice with TalkPal AI, while the control group (n = 14) received conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests assessed using Brown’s (2004) rubric across five components fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence and interviews with ten purposively selected students from the experimental group. Quantitative analysis revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher post-test mean score (M = 23.17) compared to the control group (M = 12.57). The Mann-Whitney U test confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of the AI chatbot intervention. Qualitative findings showed overwhelmingly positive perceptions: students reported increased confidence, motivation, fluency, pronunciation, and reduced speaking anxiety, attributing these gains to the chatbot’s interactive, non-judgmental, and flexible learning environment. Minor challenges included unstable internet connections and initial familiarity with the application. The results demonstrate that AI chatbot-based methods, such as TalkPal AI, constitute an effective and innovative approach for enhancing EFL learners’ speaking proficiency in secondary education contexts. Pedagogical implications for technology-integrated language teaching and recommendations for future research are discussed.
