Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of educational games in improving English vocabulary for beginners. This research explores the use of educational games in the context of learning English for beginners, and investigates the impact of these games on vocabulary acquisition and retention. This research uses a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants in this research were 19 teenagers who were members of the Sutenegere study group. Data was collected through pre-tests and post-tests. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and paired sample T-test to test the hypothesis. It was performed using SPSS 2022 for windows. The result shows that the mean score of the pre-test was 57.89 and the mean score of the post-test was 64.47. It concluded that the use of educational games significantly increased beginner students' English vocabulary. This research provides practical contributions for teachers in choosing effective learning media and provides guidance for educational game developers. In addition, it is hoped that this research can become a reference for further studies related to vocabulary achievement in language learning.

Abstract

To ensure that the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic runs smoothly, all universities in Indonesia have implemented online learning. However, based on the observations made, online learning, especially when carried out synchronously, appears to still be not as optimal as offline learning. This study aims to find out the voices of Indonesian EFL learners on synchronous learning during the covid-19 pandemic. Designed as descriptive qualitative, this study examined 50 students who voluntarily participated as the sampled group. In collecting the data, the researchers used a self-written reflection and questionnaire with four scales that were distributed using Google Form to the participants. The questionnaire was related to respectful attitude, benefits, and obstacles of synchronous learning. All collected data were then analyzed using the sequential explanatory processes. The result of data analysis revealed that Indonesian EFL learners still showed a good respectful attitude during the synchronous learning process, although they agreed that learning synchronously faces a few obstacles, such as unsupported devices and unfavorable learning environments. In addition, they also feel that the teaching and learning process synchronously during the COVID-19 pandemic provided them with several benefits, especially those related to safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.Keywords: EFL learners; synchronous learning; COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi siswa terhadap penggunaan Artificial Intelligence (AI) Auris dalam subtitling. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Partisipan dari penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Universitas Hamzanwadi yang memiliki pengalaman menggunakan AI Auris yang berjumlah empat orang. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa AI Auris memiliki beberapa kelebihan dan kekurangan seperti: waktu yang kurang atau efisien, kemudahan dalam penggunaan, mendapatkan nilai yang baik, akurasi yang kurang dari 100%, memberikan durasi yang pendek dan mengunggah video yang panjang. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa AI Auris atau bahkan AI lainnya akan memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan, tetapi penggunaan Auris untuk subtitling cukup memuaskan bagi mahasiswa.

Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMPN 01 Sakra Barat. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah 25 siswa kelas delapan dan seorang guru Bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan observasi, kuesioner, dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa menikmati pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di sekolah. Mereka merasa bahwa pelajaran tersebut menarik dan tidak membosankan. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti beberapa strategi yang diterapkan oleh guru untuk menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang menyenangkan, seperti memahami karakteristik dan gaya belajar siswa, mengenali gaya berpikir mereka, melakukan pemanasan sebelum pelajaran dimulai, menggunakan metode dan lokasi pembelajaran yang bervariasi, memberikan apresiasi terhadap partisipasi siswa, dan menghindari menyalahkan siswa ketika mereka membuat kesalahan saat mencoba belajar.
