Abstract

The research purposes were to determine the students’ ability along with the barriers in writing report texts of the eleventh graders at MA NWDI Perian. This research adopted a mix method of sequential explanatory analysis (quantitative descriptive-qualitative).  The Instruments were written tests and interviews. Students were first asked to write report texts to determine their ability and then they were asked a series of questions related to the data results. Based on the results, the mean score was 52.19 and the passing grade for English was 70. This indicates that the participants’ ability in writing report texts is poor or below standard. There are five components that are assessed, and participants' ability levels in these five components are still relatively low. The percentages of each assessment were as follows: content 21%, organization 21%, vocabulary 18%, language 18%, and mechanic 22%. According to the results of qualitative data analysis, the barriers in writing report texts were content, organization, vocabulary, language, and mechanics. In addition to those students barriers, there are other factors that should be considered in writing tasks, such as motivation, lexicogrammar features, paragraph elements, or three main factors that influence students' writing skill, namely psychological, sociocultural and linguistic.  Furthermore, this study was conducted while the pandemic was still widespread and the interaction of teachers and students during the teaching and learning process were only conducted via virtual setting. This, of course, makes teachers less effective in delivering lessons, particularly in writing, which requires extensive practice, proofreading, discussion, and revision activities. In addition, factors such as space barriers and, in some cases, network restrictions and the use of unappropriate teaching methods or strategies, all have an impact on students' writing skills.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the factors contributing to students' challenges in undergraduate thesis writing within the English Education Study Program at Hamzanwadi University, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. It further explores the strategies students employ to overcome these challenges. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving 36 eighth-semester students as participants. Data were collected through a close-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to provide quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate that psychological factors were the most significant challenge (78.72%), followed by sociocultural factors (16.51%) and linguistic factors (4.7%). To address these difficulties, students employed coping strategies, including identifying novel research topics and ideas through online books and journals, particularly from recent publications (within five years), and grounding their research in real-world issues. They also reviewed previous undergraduate theses, relevant literature, and methodological texts to strengthen their research framework. Additional measures included attending webinars on research methodology, enhancing internal and external motivation, engaging in intensive discussions with supervisors, and leveraging digital tools such as Grammarly and Quillbot for grammatical refinement and paraphrasing to ensure academic integrity. These findings offer valuable insights into the challenges of thesis writing and highlight practical strategies for students and educators to enhance the thesis-writing experience in higher education.

Abstract

Pronunciation clarity is one of the most crucial aspects in mastering English for EFL learners, yet many students still struggle with phoneme articulation, word stress, and intonation. Preliminary observation at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing revealed that 11th-grade students frequently mispronounced phonemes such as /θ/ and /ð/, misplaced stress, and produced monotonous intonation, which hindered their intelligibility and confidence. This highlights the urgency of applying an effective and structured phonological training method to improve students’ pronunciation. The present study aimed to examine the impact of the Repeated Reading (RR) technique as a phonological practice tool to enhance pronunciation clarity. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. The study was conducted at MA Birrul Walidain NW Rensing during the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 26 eleventh-grade students selected randomly into experimental (n=12) and control groups (n=14). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test oral reading tasks, assessed with a pronunciation rubric covering both segmental and suprasegmental features. The instrument was validated by two English teachers, and data were analyzed using SPSS through Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, Paired Sample t-Test, and Independent Sample t-Test. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 9.00 to 12.58 (SD=2.49 to 2.30), with a mean difference of 3.58 (t=10.62, p=0.000). In contrast, the control group only improved from 9.00 to 9.64 (mean difference=0.64, t=1.64, p=0.125). Independent Sample t-Test confirmed a significant difference in post-test scores between groups (mean diff=2.94, t=2.83, p=0.009). These findings indicate that RR significantly enhances pronunciation clarity, particularly in phoneme accuracy, stress placement, intonation, and rhythm. Thus, repeated reading can be considered an effective strategy for EFL pronunciation instruction.

Abstract

This study examines junior high school students’ motivation in developing reading habits and identifies the supporting and hindering factors. A mixed-method design was applied, involving questionnaires completed by 64 students at SMPN 2 Sikur, as well as interviews and classroom observations. Findings revealed that most students demonstrated moderate (39.06%) to high (32.81%) levels of reading motivation, with an overall average of 3.15. Intrinsic factors, such as curiosity, enjoyment, and the desire for knowledge, emerged as the strongest drivers, while extrinsic factors, including encouragement from teachers and parents, played a role but inconsistently. Major obstacles included boredom, limited time, and difficulties in understanding texts, particularly in foreign languages. The school environment, such as poorly maintained libraries and the lack of literacy activities, was also found to be unsupportive. These results indicate that intrinsic motivation is crucial for fostering reading habits, yet it must be reinforced by external support and a conducive learning atmosphere. The study suggests revitalizing school literacy programs

Abstract

Although many studies have explored the relationship between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension, research in vocational school contexts is limited, where students face unique challenges in learning English. This study aimed to examine the correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students of SMK NW Pancor in the 2024/2025 academic year. A quantitative correlational design was used, involving 22 students selected through purposive sampling. Vocabulary mastery was measured using a 20-item multiple-choice test covering synonyms, antonyms, definitions, and sentence completions, while reading comprehension was assessed with a 20-item multiple-choice test focusing on main ideas, specific information, inference, and vocabulary in context. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results revealed a strong and significant positive correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension (r = 0.753, p 0.001), indicating that students with higher vocabulary knowledge tended to achieve better reading comprehension. These findings highlight the essential role of vocabulary development in supporting reading skills and suggest that integrating systematic vocabulary instruction into English lessons can improve students’ overall language proficiency in vocational school settings.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the correlation between the learning environment and motivation on students’ speaking skills at MA NWDI Gereneng. Speaking is one of the essential components in English language learning, requiring not only linguistic mastery but also psychological support and a motivating environment. This research applied a quantitative correlational method involving 20 eleventh-grade students. The instruments used were a learning environment questionnaire, a motivation questionnaire, and a speaking test assessed through four indicators: fluency, accuracy, interaction, and comprehensibility. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed a very strong and significant correlation between the learning environment and speaking skills (r = 0.975, p 0.01), and between motivation and speaking skills (r = 0.950, p 0.01). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influenced students’ speaking performance, with a determination coefficient (R²) of 0.976. This means that 97.6% of the variation in students’ speaking skills can be explained by their learning environment and motivation. These findings emphasize the importance of a supportive, engaging classroom environment, along with the development of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, in enhancing students’ speaking ability in English. Teachers and schools should focus on creating positive classroom conditions and encouraging student motivation to support the success of English language learning.
