Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Total Physical Response (TPR) and flashcards as a combined media to enhance vocabulary acquisition. TPR links words with physical actions, engaging multiple senses, while flashcards provide visual reinforcement and repeated exposure. A review of 15 studies reveals that combining TPR and flashcards significantly improves vocabulary retention, comprehension, and engagement. TPR's kinaesthetic activities support long-term memory, particularly for kinaesthetic learners, while flashcards offer visual cues and interactive features that benefit diverse learners. Digital flashcards, like those on Quizlet, add gamification and promote autonomous learning, boosting motivation. This multimodal approach creates an inclusive, stress-free learning environment suitable even for students with dyslexia or visual impairments. However, challenges such as the need for teacher training, limited resources, and difficulty applying TPR to abstract vocabulary were noted. Recommendations include professional development, structured lesson plans, and using both traditional and digital tools to optimize outcomes. This integrative method offers promising potential for improving English vocabulary instruction for young learners

Abstract

Reading is categorized as the receptive skills, which need to know the meaning to understand the discourse about. While reading in order to understand the meaning of what they are reading, students will be translating the English language as foreign language text to understand the text. In this instance, the ability to translate cannot be divorced from the ability to learn English, particularly the ability to read. Hence, the goal of this study is to find out how students' translation skills and reading comprehension skills relate to one another. Quantitative method is applied on this research to measure the data. It means that this quantitative research is the illustration of the fact by numerical or statistical analysis. Data was collected through test (reading comprehension and translation ability tests), and the data was analyzed using the SPSS program's Pearson correlation product moment. The findings indicate a strong relationship between students' translation skills and their reading comprehension. Students' average scores for reading comprehension and translation skills are 60.00 and 71.59, respectively. The two-tailed sig value is 0.009 less than 0.05. Thus, it can be inferred that pupils' reading comprehension and translation skills are positively correlated. In conclusion, students' reading comprehension skills and their capacity to translate news item text are significantly correlated.

Abstract

The pronunciation of the English phonemes /ʃ/, /ð/ and /θ/ remains challenging for EFL learners in Indonesia due to the absence of these sounds in the Indonesian Phonological system. A preliminary study conducted with eleventh-grade students at SMK Al-Mu’ien revealed that the average pronunciation score was only 46.97, which was far below the minimum criterian of succes (70). This classroom action research aimed to determine how to improve students’ pronunciation by applying the Reading Aloud technique to XI grade students at SMK Al-Mu’ien in Jember. Data were collected through a pronunciation test to measure students' accuracy in pronouncing 51 targeted phonemes. Classroom observations were done to document the application of the Reading Aloud technique during each cycle. The data were then analyzed quantitatively to evaluate the improvements the students have made in their pronunciation and to capture how the learning process has taken place. The finding continuous improvement from the preliminary study (46.97) to Cycle 1 (53.58) and Cycle 2 (66.36), with 63.63% of students achieving the success criteria. The result suggest that the use of Reading Aloud, supported by teacher modeling, corrective feedback, and repetitive practice can significantly enhance students’ pronunciation. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on pronunciation teaching and highlights the pedagogical value of Reading Aloud for EFL learners.
