Abstract

The aim of this study is to ascertain whether the reading comprehension levels of students who are taught the original TPRC strategy and those who are taught using picture in TPRC strategy differ noticeably. This study used a true-experimental design. It happened during the first semester of the second grade at SMP Islam 1 Kalirejo. A control group and an experimental group were used by the researcher. While the experimental group incorporated picture to the TPRC strategy, the control group employed the original TPRC strategy. According to the findings of the independent group t-test, the experimental and control groups' reading comprehension scores differed statistically significantly, with the significance level for both classes being less than 0.05. The mean score of the experimental group was higher (77.80) than that of the control group (68.42). These findings suggest that incorporating picture in TPRC strategy can effectively improve students’ reading comprehension. In addition, it is suggested that teachers should actively monitor student’s interactions and implement strategies to ensure all students are equally engaged.

Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of integrating the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy with Wordwall as a game-based learning in improving students’ reading comprehension. A quantitative approach with a cluster random sampling was used. The research was grounded in the constructivist theory of language learning, which emphasized active involvement and contextualization in text understanding. The subjects were two randomly selected seventh-grade classes from SMP PGRI 2 Sukadana, with one serving as the experimental group that received the integrated LRD and Wordwall treatment, and the other as the control group that used the original LRD strategy. Data were collected using pretests and posttests and were analyzed through an independent t-test. The results indicated that the experimental group made considerably greater improvements in reading comprehension scores compared to the control group. The statistical analysis showed a significance level from the 2-tailed test that was less than 0. 05 (p 0.001) and also, t-value is higher than t-table with the significance level of higher than 0.05 confirmed the effectiveness of the LRD and Wordwall integration in enhancing vocabulary mastery, student engagement, and active classroom participation. These results supported the incorporation of interactive learning tools as a complement to original strategies in English language instruction.Keywords: Game-based learning, Listen-Read-Discuss, Wordwall, reading comprehension, vocabulary

Abstract

Correlation of Vocabulary Proficiency and Learninng Styles with Reading Comprehension of Prospective English Teachers: A Case of Universitas Lampung. Objectives: To analyze the correlation of vocabulary proficiency (X1) and reading achievement (Y); second, to investigate the correlation between learning styles (X2) and reading achievement (Y); and to analyze the composite correlation between X1, X2 and Y. Methods: Simple random technique was used, 80 students were chosen, out of 120, based on the total sample, i.e., all students taking reading comprehension and vocabulary. A questionaire was used to measure  learning styles, and two sets of tests were used, to measure vocabulary and reading achievement. Findings: There was a correlation between students’ vocabulary proficiency (X1) and reading achievement (Y), r = 0.532; there was a correlation between learning styles (X2) and reading achievement (Y), r = 0.784; finally, there was a correlation between X1, X2 and Y, r = 0.823. Conclusion: Vocabulary proficiency and learning styles play important roles in improving reading achievement.Keywords: vocabulary proficiency, learning styles, comprehension.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v12.i3.202203

Question Prompts in Teaching Relevant and Authentic Texts to Improve Students’ Reading Competence During Pandemic Covid-19 Outbreak. Objectives: This research investigates whether: 1) QPs and relevant and authentic texts can improve students’ reading ability especially during the outbreak of pandemic Covid-19, and 2) there is any effect of students’ gender on their reading ability. Methods: Quantitative approach was used with one-group pretest-posttest design. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. Findings: the use of QPs can improve student reading ability especially during the outbreak of pandemic Covid-19, there is difference in students’ reading ability before and after using QPs in teaching authentic texts, but there is no difference in reading ability by gender. Conclusion: Findings provide implications to add the body of knowledge relevant to the theories about the acquisition of English as an ESL or EFL during the pandemic Covid 19.Keywords: reading comprehension ability, question prompts, relevant and authentic texts.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v11.i3.202101

Abstract

The objective of the research is to investigate the correlation between students’ perception on authentic materials and cooperative strategy on their reading achievement. Method: Three hypotheses were tested: a. perception on authentic materials and reading comprehension; b. perception on cooperative strategy and reading comprehension, and c. perception on authentic materials and cooperative strategy toward reading achievement. Findings: The reliability of reading test was rii = 0.96; perception on authentic materials was rii = 0.913; and that of the cooperative strategy was rii = 0.862. Conclusion: a. There is a positive correlation between perception on X1 and Y, Y = 11.046 + 0.270; X1 coefficient correlation r13 = 0.431. b. There is a significant effect of X2 on Y, Y = 11.350 + 0.625, X2 coefficient correlation r23 = 0.411. c. There is significant effect of X1 on X2, X1 = 5.314 + 0.974, X2 coefficient correlation r12 = 0.436.Keywords: authentic materials, cooperative strategy, comprehension achievement.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v12.i2.202223

Abstract

Teluk Kiluan located in Pekon (Village) Kiluan Negeri, Kelumbayan District, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province, has the potential to become an international class tourist destination since foreign tourists have started visiting this area. To make the interaction between foreign tourists with the local people and tourism practitioners run well, the local human resources (local people and tourism practitioners) are required to inevitably communicate in English. Therefore, the purpose of the community service was to help the local government, local people and tourism practitioners to communicate and convey information correctly to foreign tourists visiting Teluk Kiluan through a program called communicative English for tourism training. The participants of this event were the local people and tourism practitioners in Teluk Kiluan. To solve the problem faced by the local people and tourism practitioners due to lack of English for tourism mastery, some training methods were used including: (1) presentations on the importance of English as a lingua franca in the field of tourism, and (2) a workshop on communicative English for tourism through simulations, dialogues, and role playing, as well as discussions. Based on the score of each participant in the pre-test and post-test, there was an increase in the results before and after the training was carried out. They had the confidence to properly communicate and interact with foreign tourists. Besides, according to semi-structured interviews, the participants were satisfied with the event. Thus, it can be said that they derive much benefit from their participation in the training.
