Abstract

The study’s goal was to find out the improvements of the students’ speaking by using songs at SMA Yasmor Plus Oenoni in the academic year of 2021/2022. The issue was that they were less motivated to improve their speaking skills. This study was classified as action research. This study included 17 students of the class XI IPA and an English teacher as a research collaborator. Interviews, observations, and documentation were the instruments used. In this study, the researchers used both qualitative and quantitative data to analyze the data. The research findings revealed that using songs as a teaching media in speaking activities in the English class was proven to be effective in increasing students’ motivation to speak.

Abstract

Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that is gaining popularity in STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo's educational institution. While the education department has accepted Moodle, successfully implementing it for post-graduate students at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo would then require student acceptance. However, the LMS is the ideal approach for increasing students’ commitment to educational content such as sustainability. The findings indicated that students’ desire to use LMS SIDALACE, Sidoarjo Learning Space, had a beneficial effect on learning as sustainability engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, students perceived closeness, peer references, and subjective well-being are positively associated with perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, which influences students’ intentions to use, which in turn influences LMS usage for student engagement during Covid-19.
