Abstract

The lack of attention given in scholarly research to the particular requirements of Public Administration has resulted in a knowledge deficit to suit students' interests in this discipline. Prior research has predominantly examined the quantitative dimensions of vocabulary acquisition while neglecting to adequately consider the qualitative aspects, including comprehension and language use, in a contextually appropriate manner. This study aims to fill in these knowledge deficits by investigating vocabulary themes or topics related to Public Administration, evaluating existing instructional approaches and challenges, and suggesting enhancements to bolster students' English language proficiency in Public Administration. The study employs a qualitative methodology, including an open-ended questionnaire and in-depth interviews with four lecturers and 100 first-year students from three universities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The findings revealed that the English for Public Administration curriculum requires a diverse vocabulary of topics from administration, management, and governance to more nuanced areas such as economics, finance, taxation, social and ethics, technology and digitalization, leadership, and regulation and law. Various teaching and assessment strategies regarding instructional methods, including interactive and collaborative methods, technology integration, and contextual learning, suggest the importance of engaging students with diverse and practically relevant content to prepare them for the multifarious nature of public sector roles. Students, however, found some challenges in the complexity of the Public Administration vocabulary, highlighting the need for tailoring educational strategies, such as project-based learning and vocabulary reinforcement techniques, to overcome these obstacles. The study's findings have substantial implications for policymakers, curriculum developers, and lecturers specializing in public administration education.

Abstract

This research aims at identifying the measures that EFL teachers take to minimize learners’ anxiety in English learning at MA Arifah Indonesia particularly from the aspect of anxiety and second language acquisition. The study adopted a concurrent triangulation design in which quantitative data was collected from the questionnaires while qualitative data was collected from interviews. The study shows that anxiety arising from fear of negative evaluation, communication apprehension, and test, hurts the students’ performance in speaking activities and academic achievement. Most of the students benefited from approaches adopted by the teacher such as behaviour modification and support from classmates and Gradualiliarly Increasing the Task Difficulty. But as the results of the students’ feedback reveal, it is not enough for the students, especially those with higher levels of anxiety, to employ these methods; therefore, they require other kinds of interventions, including practices based on mindfulness. The study also brings out the impact of worry on test performance, and there is a need to analyse the existing strategies of assessments to provide for the worried students. Such results suggest that EFL education needs to be more comprehensive to include psychological intervention into learners’ mental state and teaching methods that are best suited for these learners in order to introduce change for a better learning environment.

Abstract

This research was conducted to find out the effectiveness of the problem-solving strategy in improving students’ speaking skills at SMP Negeri 4 Sungguminasa. The research design used a pre-experimental quantitative method. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 4 Sungguminasa with a population of 311 students from class IX and a sample of 31 students selected from class IX-D, which was taken by simple random sampling. The results showed that the null hypothesis (H0), which states that the problem-solving strategy does not significantly improve students' English-speaking skills, is rejected. In contrast, the alternative hypothesis (H1), which states that the problem-solving strategy significantly improves students' English-speaking skills, is accepted. From this statement, it can be summarized that the problem-solving strategy has significantly improved students’ English-speaking skills. This improvement was seen in five main components: vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension when presenting arguments.

Abstract

Listening is a crucial skill that is frequently used in mastering a second language. It is widely recognized that many students struggle to develop their Listening Comprehension. This study highlights the effectiveness of English Kids’ songs in improving Listening Comprehension. The researcher employs a quantitative method, using a sample of 30 fifth-grade students from SDN 5 Sungguminasa, selected through a convenience sampling technique. The instruments used in this study were a pre-test and a post-test, involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 15 students. In the experimental group, students were given treatment, specifically using English Kids’ songs in the English learning process, to assess the effectiveness of the songs in improving Listening Comprehension. Meanwhile, the control group did not receive the treatment being tested, but instead, they followed the standard teaching method already in place. This allowed the researcher to compare the differences between the experimental and control groups. The data were analyzed using an independent t-test with SPSS version 22 to determine the effectiveness of kids’ songs in improving Listening Comprehension. The researcher obtained a significant result of 0.013 < 0.05, indicating that there was a difference between the students who used English kids’ songs to improve their Listening Comprehension and those who used the standard teaching method at SDN 5 Sungguminasa.

Abstract

This research aimed to ascertain if digital comics enhance students' reading comprehension of narrative texts. This study employed a quantitative methodology utilizing a quasi-experimental design. The data for this research were collected using pre-tests, post-tests, and in-depth interviews. The data analysis procedures employed were the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank analysis yielded an Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) of 0.663, exceeding α = 0.05, while the Mann-Whitney U analysis produced an Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) of 0.668, also surpassing α = 0.05. It can be established that digital comics do not enhance students' reading comprehension of narrative texts. In-depth interviews were performed to ascertain the causes of the notable decrease in the scores of numerous students. The findings from the in-depth interviews revealed that insufficient vocabulary comprehension, linguistic challenges, disparities in fundamental abilities between the experimental and control groups, difficulties in concentration, and the researcher's explanation of the material were contributing factors.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital learning technologies on English learning strategies among secondary and tertiary students in the New Normal era, combining quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Quantitative data were collected from 206 English education university students via a Likert-scale questionnaire assessing technology use frequency, perceived usefulness, and learning strategy adoption. Qualitative data were gathered from senior high school students in South Sulawesi through an open-ended questionnaire on strategies, media, and study habits. Findings indicate that digital tools, particularly YouTube, Google Translate, online dictionaries, and mobile apps, are extensively used and perceived as beneficial across educational levels. Quantitative results show significant positive correlations between technology use and metacognitive, cognitive, and social-affective strategies. Regression analysis confirms that technology use and perceived usefulness predict strategy adoption. Qualitative findings reveal diverse student strategies such as independent study, media consumption, vocabulary memorization, and the use of both online and offline resources. The study concludes that digital technologies facilitate self-regulated, interactive, and resource-rich learning, offering pedagogical implications for technology-integrated language instruction in the post-pandemic era.
