Abstract

Due to the increasing need for effective communication skills in both academic and professional settings, EFL learners require competencies that extend beyond mere linguistic proficiency. This research investigates the impact of multimodal communication strategies (verbal and non-verbal) on students' presentation skills, focus on five primary modes: linguistic, visual, aural, gestural, and spatial. This study employed a concurrent embedded mixed-methods design involving 17 fourth-semester EFL students at a public university in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires, classroom observations, and video recordings. Questionnaire responses (N = 17) were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation (ρ), which is appropriate for ordinal Likert-scale data and does not assume normality or linearity. The analysis revealed significant positive associations between the use of multimodal strategies and improvements in presentation quality, with linguistic (ρ = 0.88) and spatial (ρ = 0.84) strategies showing the strongest effects. All modes contributed positively, and effect sizes are reported with 95% confidence intervals. Qualitative findings corroborated these results, indicating that students who integrated modes exhibited enhanced organization, clarity, and confidence. The non-verbal strategy notably compensated for limited language fluency, thereby enhancing delivery and engagement. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating multimodal training into EFL curricula. Educators should evaluate not only verbal accuracy but also visual, vocal, and spatial components to enhance learners' overall communicative competence.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the implementation of Team-Based Learning (TBL) combined with technology, in this case is the Canvas Learning Management System (Canvas LMS), to improve reading skills and critical thinking skills among students from English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 112 third-semester students in Critical Reading courses. The sample was determined through cluster random sampling, which consisted of a C class that consisted of 28 students of the English Department in the State Islamic Institution of Ponorogo. Pre-test and post-test were administered, and data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The findings showed a significant enhancement in reading skills due to the integration of Canvas LMS into TBL (sig = 0.000 < 0.005), as evidenced by the increased scores on the mean scores of pre-test and post-test from 62.57 to 80.61. Students also showed an increase in their critical thinking skills. The implications of these findings provide further insights into the effectiveness of integrating TBL with the use of technology to improve academic reading and critical thinking in EFL settings and a suggested strategy for developing such essential skills in university contexts.
