Abstract

This study aims to determine EFL students’ and teachers’ perceptions on written corrective feedback (WCF) during blended learning. Interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD) were the instruments used in this study. The researchers used a descriptive qualitative methodology for the research design of this study. Two English teachers and eight students in the IX grade for the academic year 2022–2023 served as the study's subjects. They were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The findings showed that the implementation of WCF was perceived positively and negatively by the EFL students at SMP Negeri 3 Galesong Selatan. The students who had favourable opinions reported that the implementation of WCF was motivating, interesting, and useful. Meanwhile, the students with negative perceptions confirmed that they were demotivated because they had to clarify the WCF provided by the teachers. Further, the EFL teachers also had favourable opinions of WCF as it applied to students in blended learning. They argued that WCF was important, motivating, and helpful for students to recognize their errors. In summary, the researchers concluded that both EFL students and teachers at SMP Negeri 3 Galesong Selatan had favourable perceptions of WCF implementation during blended learning.

The data analysis method used is descriptive analysis and inferential analysis using the Independent Sample t-Test which are processed using SPSS 29.0. The research findings indicated that the second-grade students of MTsN 1 Makassar were pretty low in reading skill. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of using the Kahoot app to improve reading comprehension of students in MTsN 1 Makassar who had been studying Narrative text material. This is a pre-experimental study that employs a one-group pretest and posttest design. The study's sample consisted of 26 eighth-grade students from MTsN 1 Makassar. For this study, a reading test with multiple choice and true/false questions was used to obtain data. The descriptive and inferential data analysis methods employed are descriptive analysis and inferential analysis utilizing the Independent Sample t-Test, both of which are performed using SPSS 29.0. The study showed that the reading proficiency of the MTsN 1 Makassar second grade kids was quite low, but their reading comprehension improved quite significant after the treatment. It was demonstrated by the results of the pre-test mean score of 65.35, which was classified as moderate, and the post-test mean score of 88.65, which was classified as excellent, with an average N-Gain value of 0.71, indicating an improvement. Given that the t-test value was less than 0.05 (0.001<0.005), the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. As a result, it appears that the use of the Kahoot app is helpful in improving students' reading comprehension at MTsN 1 Makassar. It is expected that Kahoot app can be a recommendation for teachers to improve the teaching performance and enhance the student’s reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Mind Map Technique in improving vocabulary mastery among Year-Eleven students. This research utilized a mixed-methods approach to explore both qualitative and quantitative data. A pre-experimental design was used, involving 20 students in a single class at SMA Negeri 10 Gowa. The study measured the students' vocabulary mastery before and after receiving treatment through the Mind Map Technique. The results showed that using Mind Maps significantly improved students' vocabulary skills. The pre-test results indicated that only 40% of students achieved an excellent score, while after the treatment, the number of students who earned a perfect score increased to 70%. Moreover, the questionnaire analysis showed that students responded positively to using Mind Maps to improve their vocabulary skills. The findings suggest that the Mind Map Technique can be an effective tool for English teachers to enhance their student's vocabulary skills. Students should be encouraged to use and memorize their vocabulary in real-world situations. This study contributes to the literature on vocabulary instruction and provides a reference for teachers to improve their students' vocabulary mastery using the Mind Map Technique. Future research can explore the potential of Mind Maps to enhance students' skills in other areas, such as writing, listening, and speaking.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by English teachers in applying open-ended questions in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classrooms, focusing on a senior high school in Makassar, Indonesia. Open-ended questions are known to promote student engagement, critical thinking, and language fluency. However, despite their pedagogical potential, their practical use remains limited in many EFL contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research gathered data through in-depth interviews with four English teachers at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar. The findings reveal several persistent challenges, including limited class time, students' low confidence in speaking English, lack of teacher training, and curriculum rigidity. These obstacles hinder teachers from using open-ended questions regularly, often causing them to rely on traditional closed-ended questioning methods. The study further highlights how systemic constraints, such as time-bound learning targets and exam-oriented instruction, exacerbate the issue. These findings suggest the urgent need for institutional support, professional development programs, and curriculum flexibility to empower teachers in using open-ended questions more effectively. By exploring the lived experiences of teachers, this study contributes to the growing discourse on questioning strategies in EFL teaching and offers practical insights for improving classroom interaction in Indonesian secondary schools.
