Abstract

Students' perceptions of learning tools used by English teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students' perceptions of the learning tools used by English teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic can be categorised into five areas, namely the enjoyment of learning English, the ability to provide students with feedback on the learning tools, the planning of online learning, the assessment of online learning and the limitations of online learning. The researcher used both quantitative and qualitative methods to achieve the research objectives. Data collection was in the form of Likert questionnaires and Google Forms interviews. The population of the study was students in the English programme in 2020. The questionnaire was sent out to 40 students and the interviews were conducted by 4 students who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the data analysis showed that (1) students' perceptions of the teaching materials used by teachers in English classes during the COVID-19 pandemic were neutral, and no students perceived the teaching materials as bad or very bad; (2) students' perceptions of the teaching materials used by teachers in English classes during the COVID-19 pandemic were valid.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of utilizing the digital game Wordwall in improving students' vocabulary at SMAN 1 Gowa, specifically in class XI MIPA 3. The research method employed a pre-experimental approach with pretest and posttest measurements. The population for this study consisted of all students at SMAN 1 Gowa, while a random sample of 35 students was selected from Class XI MIPA 3. The analysis revealed that the mean score on the pretest was recorded as 82.34, whereas it increased significantly to 98.31 on the posttest. By conducting a paired-sample t-test statistical analysis with a significance level set at α = 0.05, a significant difference between the mean scores of the pretest and posttest was found (p <0.05). This indicates that using Wordwall as a digital game effectively enhances students' vocabulary. In conclusion, this research supports the hypothesis that employing Wordwall as a digital game can improve students' vocabulary at SMAN 1 Gowa. The positive outcomes resulting from an increase in posttest scores have important implications for English teachers who may consider incorporating game-based technology like Wordwall as an engaging and interactive tool for vocabulary learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in English language teaching at SMAN 3 Pangkep, focusing on teacher perceptions and challenges. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with three English teachers teaching grades X and XI under the Merdeka Curriculum framework. Findings reveal a partial success in adopting the curriculum's core principles, such as student-centered learning, integration of local cultural elements, and the use of diverse assessment methods. While teachers demonstrated efforts to engage students actively, disparities in curriculum implementation were observed. Challenges such as limited digital resources, lack of training, and infrastructure constraints affected teachers’ ability to fully integrate the curriculum's goals. This study concludes that while teachers at SMAN 3 Pangkep show openness to the curriculum’s objectives, enhanced support in terms of professional development and resources is essential for a consistent and effective application. These findings contribute valuable insights for improving curriculum implementation, supporting a more inclusive, engaging, and adaptive educational environment.

Abstract

Andi Endah Pratiwi, 2024. The Implementation of Audio-visual Reading Activity in the Primary Year Metro School. Thesis. English Language Education Study Program, Graduate Program. Universitas Negeri Makassar (supervised by Baso Jabu and Iskandar). This research has four objectives: (1) to determine what factors influence Metro School Makassar's primary students' audio-visual reading activities; (2) to know how primary-year teachers implement an audio-visual reading activity; (3) to determine teachers' perceptions; and (4) to determine students' perspectives.

The Merdeka and Cambridge Primary Curricula are shaped by context, with technology as a secondary factor; the school provides LCDs and wireless networks for support. Audio-visual activities require planning, implementation, and differentiation to reach all students. According to the teacher, these activities enhance comprehension, auditory and visual skills, and daily English-speaking abilities. Watching short instructional videos also boosts vocabulary and helps teachers explore new methods. Despite their positive impact, audio-visual reading activities pose challenges for teachers, including technical issues (e.g., LCD or speaker problems), time limits, disruptions, and student behavior during videos. However, students enjoy these activities, which enhance their English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Videos, photos, and voice responses improve comprehension, and students’ excitement for reading has increased. They prefer action or animated films over text and can apply new vocabulary in daily conversations. Keywords: Audio-visual, Reading Activity, The Implementation, Teacher’s Perceptions, and Students’ Perspectives.
