Abstract

Mastery of grammar, particularly subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense, remains a persistent challenge for Indonesian EFL learners due to structural differences between English and Bahasa Indonesia. Traditional methods often fail to foster deep grammatical competence. In response, this study explores the effectiveness of integrating self-assessment (SA)  as a reflective learning strategy to enhance grammatical accuracy. Employing a quasi-experimental design, this study involved 38 third-semester English education students at a public university in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Participants were divided into an experimental group (n=18) that received SA-integrated grammar instruction and a control group (n=20) that received conventional instruction. Over eight sessions, students in the experimental group engaged SA activities using SA guidelines and reflection tasks while learning subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense. Pre- and post-tests were administered, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests.  The findings revealed that the experimental group's learning achievement outperforms its counterpart, with mean post-test scores of 17.17 and 13.15, respectively. The T-test results confirmed a statistically significant difference in grammar achievement between the groups (p<0.001), favoring the SA-integrated instruction. These findings suggest that SA is an effective strategy for improving student grammar outcomes in using subject-verb agreement correctly This study underscores the value of SA as a practical and impactful approach in EFL grammar instruction and supports its integration into learner-centered curricula, particularly in alignment with Indonesia’ Kurikulum Merdeka.

This research applied quasi-experimental research design. The sample of this research were the eleventh grade IPA 1 and IPA 4 consist 33 students. The sample were selected by using purposive sampling. The data were collected by administering a speaking test conducted before and after treatment, or pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using t-test to compare mean score of pre-test and post-test of experimental and control class. The result showed that the mean differences of the experimental and control class were (46.67) and (51.21). While the post-test were (75.76) and (56.97). Further analysis indicates, t-counted (13.43) is greater than t-table (1.670). There was improvement of the students speaking skill. It is conclude that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. It means that using vlog give good effect in improve students speaking skill of SMAN 5 Palu.

Abstract

The research aims to prove if the use of partner reading strategy can improve reading comprehension of the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 20 Sigi. This research uses a quasi-experimental research design. The population of this research was class VIII students at SMP Negeri 20 Sigi consisting of 66 students from three classes. The sample was class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group. Sample selection was carried out randomly. Data was collected through a reading test administry as a pre-test and post-test. By applying a significance level of 0.05, the researchers found that the sig value obtained (p) was lower than alpha (a) (0.000<0.05).

Abstract

This research examines how well eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Sigi improve their reading comprehension skills through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills for students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). However, the lack of vocabulary, low motivation, and inefficient teaching strategies cause problems for many students. PjBL is used as a student-centered learning strategy to address this issue. This research applied a quasi-experimental approach, with a control group learning conventionally and an experimental group using PjBL. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to gather information about students' reading comprehension development. The average score of the experimental group increased from 34.37 to 49.28, showing a substantial improvement, while the control group increased from 35.82 to 46.38. A p-value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05, was obtained through statistical analysis using an independent sample T-test, indicating that the improvement in the experimental group is statistically significant. This study shows that PjBL can improve students' reading comprehension by encouraging active learning, collaboration, and critical thinking. Based on this, the researchers recommend applying PjBL in English language teaching to create a more engaging and meaningful learning experience.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of self-assessment on grammar teaching and learning, by analyzing how students identify and correct errors related to the use of simple past tense in their own work. A quantitative approach was used in this study by using a quasi-experimental design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a test, which was divided into two: pre-test and post-test. The population in this study was the ninth grade of MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu, where class IX C was the experimental group (n=21) and class IX B was the control group (n=18). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test due to the study data was not normally distributed. The results demonstrated that there was an increase in learning outcomes in the use of simple past tense in the experimental group, compared to the control group. It was shown by calculations using the SPSS 24 software system where the Sig (2-tailed) value = 0.000 < 0.05, which means that the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. In summary, this study indicated that self-assessment has a significant impact on enhancing students’ ability in simple past tense. The findings offer a new perspective for students, teachers and future researchers in enhancing English language teaching and learning.
