Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the significant differences in written language production generated from two different types of tasks between low and high proficiency students. Data were collected from 30 low-proficiency and 30 high-proficiency tenth-grade students using two distinct task types, and analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA. The findings revealed statistically significant differences in the CAF (Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency) measures between the two proficiency groups across both task types. In Task 1, significant differences were found in accuracy and fluency, but not in complexity. In contrast, in Task 2 high and low proficiency students generated significant differences across all CAF aspects. These findings highlight the importance of aligning task complexity with learners' proficiency levels in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to improve language learning outcomes and support more effective instructional design.

Abstract

AbstractThis study aimed to find out whether the integrated KWL (Know-Want-Learn) strategy with Think Pair Share improves students' reading comprehension better than the Original KWL Strategy. This research employed a quantitative method. The study was conducted with first-grade students at SMPN 14 Bandar Lampung. Two classes were used: an experimental class, which was taught using the integrated KWL and Think Pair Share strategy, and a control class, which was taught using the original KWL strategy. The results of the post-test showed that the control group had a mean score of 70.32, whereas the experimental group had a higher mean score of 79.35. The t-test results for the post-test indicated a Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.003 (< 0.05), there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups after the treatment. The experimental group achieved better improvement in reading comprehension compared to the control group. These findings suggest that integrating the KWL strategy and Think Pair Share improves students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out whether the integrated Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) with Peer Assisted Learning Strategy (PALS) improves students' reading comprehension better than the Original DRTA. This research employed a quantitative method. The study was conducted with the first-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Bandar Lampung. Two classes were used: an experimental class, which was taught using the integrated DRTA with PALS, and a control class, which was taught using the original DRTA. The results of the post-test showed that the control group had a mean score of 80.51, whereas the experimental group had a higher mean score of 83.94. The t-test results for the post-test indicated a Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.049 (< 0.05), there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups after the treatment. The experimental group achieved better improvement in students’ reading comprehension compared to the control group. These findings suggest that integrated DRTA with PALS improves students' reading comprehension.  Keywords: DRTA, PALS, Reading Comprehension

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of incorporating peer teaching in Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) to enhance students' writing achievement in narrative text. Recognizing the challenges faced by EFL students in organizing ideas and the limitations inherent in traditional pedagogical approaches, this research examines whether the integration of peer teaching in STAD group activities can improve the quality and structure of students' written work. A comparative analysis was conducted between students who were taught using peer teaching in STAD and those who received instruction through the original STAD. The objective of the study is to assess whether significant differences in writing achievement exist between the two groups, with a particular focus on content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanical accuracy. The results indicate a substantial improvement in students' writing skills, suggesting that the incorporation of peer teaching in STAD can serve as an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing writing proficiency in the EFL context, especially in the domain of narrative text production.

Abstract

This research was initiated to reveal the impact of the modified RMS technique integrated with the TLC, on students’ ability to write descriptive texts. The research aimed to determine whether the modified RMS technique significantly improves students’ descriptive writing achievement. The research design was quantitative by employing  one-group pre-test post-test design. The data were gaied from 32 students using writing tests. Writing performance was evaluated across five aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students’ writing scores after the treatment (p < 0.001. These finding suggests that the modified RMS technique, when combined with TLC, is effective in enhancing students’ descriptive writing achievement.

Abstract

This study investigates how task complexity affects students’ speaking performance based on their English proficiency levels. It was conducted at SMA N 9 Bandar Lampung in the 2024/2025 academic year with 31 eleventh-grade students, divided into low (n = 16) and high (n = 15) proficiency groups. Each student completed a simple and a complex speaking task. The tasks were based on task-based language teaching (TBLT) and aligned with the curriculum. Using Two-Way ANOVA, the results showed that both task complexity and proficiency level significantly influenced speaking performance (p<0.05). High proficiency students outperformed low proficiency students in all aspects: complexity (M = 3.85 vs. 2.97), accuracy (M = 4.12 vs. 3.21), and fluency (M = 4.08 vs. 3.05). A significant interaction was also found, meaning task complexity affected students differently depending on their proficiency. This study shows that speaking tasks should be adjusted to students’ proficiency levels to improve learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the Suggestopedia method in improving speaking skills, particularly in delivering recount texts. Suggestopedia is a language teaching method that emphasizes psychological comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment in the learning process through the use of music, games, and imaginative activities. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design involving 36 tenth-grade students from a Islamic Senior High School (MAN) in Bandar Lampung who had experienced learning through the Suggestopedia method. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale and semi-structured interviews to triangulate the findings. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were thematically interpreted. The findings revealed that students generally had positive perceptions of the method, with high average scores across all measured aspects: awareness (79.7%), past experience (82.3%), knowledge (82.4%), motivation (83.3%), and social interaction (82.1%). These results indicate that Suggestopedia was well-received, especially in boosting students’ enthusiasm and participation in speaking activities. Interview data supported these findings, highlighting increased comfort, self-confidence, and creativity in expressing personal experiences. The study concludes that Suggestopedia effectively fosters a relaxed and supportive learning environment, which reduces anxiety and encourages spontaneous speaking. However, its successful implementation requires teacher readiness and sensitivity to different learner preferences. Suggestopedia proves to be a promising alternative method for improving students’ speaking fluency and confidence in recount text delivery.
