Abstract

The ability to understand and evaluate written information is known as reading comprehension, while vocabulary mastery is the ability to use words in a language effectively. This study looked at how reading comprehension and vocabulary mastery relate to one another among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Palu. Out of a total population of 534 students in 15 courses, 73 individuals were chosen at random to participate in a correlational study design. Multiple-choice exams with 30 questions for reading comprehension and 50 items for vocabulary mastery were used to gather data. A linearity test, Spearman's rank correlation, and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normalcy were used to analyse the data because of its non-normal distribution. The findings showed a p-value of 0.135 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between reading comprehension and vocabulary competence. A very little positive link was shown by the correlation coefficient (rs = 0.177). Therefore, it can be said that in this particular situation, students' reading comprehension ability is not strongly predicted by vocabulary competence alone.

Abstract

This research exposes vocabulary mastery of eleventh-grade students by utilizing Duolingo apps. Critical issues namely limited vocabulary knowledge, low motivation, and lack of practice had hindered students' language development. By employing a cluster random sampling method, the research involved a pretest and posttest to evaluate students' vocabulary before and after using the Duolingo application. Various vocabulary assessments in terms of making sentences, multiple-choice, and matching exercises were distributed to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of students' understanding in concrete nouns, action verbs, and descriptive adjectives. The results indicate that there is a statistically increase of the students’ score in the experimental group from pretest to posttest (71.68 to 73.92). The results of the paired t-test also present a statistically significant difference (t = -5.209, p = 0.000). In contrast, the control group using conventional techniques only showed a small increase from 71.68 to 73.92, and the results of the t-test showed no significant difference (t = -1.430, p = 0.166). This suggests that the Duolingo application effectively enhances students' vocabulary mastery and overall language proficiency. It can be concluded that integrating innovative teaching methods, such as gamified learning through Duolingo, can significantly boost students' motivation and engagement in language learning. Therefore, teachers can explore diverse teaching strategies that cater to various learning styles and encourage students to actively participate in language practice through interactive features of the application. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights into the role of technology in language learning and its potential to transform traditional learning approaches.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the shadowing technique in improving the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compared two groups: an experimental group that received listening instruction through shadowing and a control group that received conventional instruction. Assessment tools consisted of pre- and post-tests with multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank items designed to evaluate micro and macro listening skills. The findings revealed substantial improvement in the listening performance of the experimental group after the intervention. Their mean score increased significantly from 43.33 on the pretest to 84.17 on the posttest. In contrast, the control group showed only a marginal increase, from 27.59 to 39.66. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significance value of 0.000, confirming a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Based on this result, the null hypothesis was rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, it can be concluded that the shadowing technique significantly improves the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi.
