Abstract

This exploratory qualitative study examines how Instagram Reels content influences English learners' motivation and perceived speaking skill development in British accent acquisition. Conducted between November and December 2023, the research involved semi-structured interviews with two Indonesian followers of Zelina Fahrani, a content creator with over one million followers specializing in British accent pronunciation videos. Data were collected through online interviews via Instagram and WhatsApp, supplemented by systematic observation of Reels content and engagement metrics. Thematic analysis revealed six key themes: digital content as motivational catalyst, spontaneous imitative practice behavior, thematic relevance and personal interest alignment, aesthetic appeal of British accents, enhanced self-efficacy and speaking confidence, and expanded metalinguistic awareness. Both participants reported heightened learning enthusiasm, particularly due to culturally relevant content themes such as Harry Potter references, increased practice frequency, greater confidence in English speaking, and improved awareness of accent variations. However, all findings were self-reported without objective verification, and the small sample size significantly limits generalizability. This preliminary investigation suggests that engaging, theme-based short-form video content on social media platforms may serve as supplementary motivational tools for informal accent learning, warranting further research with larger samples, diverse participant demographics, and objective assessment measures to validate these exploratory findings.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy in improving students' reading comprehension at SMAN 2 Majene. A quasi-experimental design was used with a population of 277 tenth-grade students. The sample, consisting of 60 students, was selected using convenience sampling. The assessment instrument comprised 20 multiple-choice questions administered to both the experiment and control groups before and after the treatment. The results revealed that the students' average pre-test scores in the experimental group were categorized as poor, with a mean score of 44.33. However, their post-test scores significantly improved to a good level, with a mean of 73.83. Similarly, the control group showed poor pre-test scores with a mean of 44.67, but their post-test scores improved to a good level, averaging 71.83. In conclusion, the students demonstrated enhancement in reading comprehension. The significant value of the pre-test and post-test results for both groups was 0.000, which is less than 0.05. Therefore, the t-test value was smaller than 0.05, confirming that the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the Null Hypothesis (H0) was rejected, indicating a significant effect of the LRD strategy on the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at SMAN 2 Majene.
