Abstract

This study investigates students’ perspectives on self-assessment in English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on its implementation and challenges at Tadulako University. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design supported by quantitative data to gain insights into students’ experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five students and a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to thirty students of the English Education Study Program who had experience using self-assessment in English courses. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to students’ understanding and challenges of self-assessment. The findings indicate that students perceive self-assessment as a reflective learning process that helps them monitor progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, and take responsibility for learning. Self-assessment enhanced motivation, confidence, learner autonomy, and English language skills. However, challenges such as limited objectivity, unclear assessment criteria, and insufficient lecturer feedback were identified. These findings suggest self-assessment requires guidelines, rubrics, and lecturer support.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of the impact of digital literacy on reading comprehension among English Education students at Tadulako University. A descriptive, qualitative approach was employed, involving the distribution of questionnaires to students in the 2023 cohort and in-depth interviews with selected participants. The findings reveal that students generally perceive digital literacy as having a positive influence on their reading comprehension. Digital tools such as online dictionaries, translation applications, and diverse online reading materials help students understand texts more easily and increase their motivation to read. However, challenges such as internet connectivity issues, distractions, eye strain, and difficulties in evaluating reliable sources were also reported. Overall, digital literacy is viewed as a supporting factor that enhances reading comprehension when accompanied by critical thinking skills and proper guidance. The study highlights the importance of integrating digital literacy instruction into reading courses to optimize students’ comprehension in digital learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using films as a learning medium to improve English vocabulary mastery in seventh-grade junior high school students. The methodology used is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design involving two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The sample size consisted of 64 students, divided equally into 32 students in the experimental group who were taught using films, and 32 students in the control group who were taught using conventional methods. The type of film used in the learning intervention was a short animated film that was story-oriented and had easy-to-understand dialogue, chosen for its relevance to the age and potential to attract students' interest. The main statistical analysis, specifically through an independent t-test, showed a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups. These results indicate that the intervention using films resulted in a substantially higher increase in vocabulary mastery. Quantitatively, the experimental group showed an average increase (gain score) of 25% compared to the control group, which only showed an increase of 10%. This was proven by calculations using the SPSS 24 software system . Thus, the main conclusion of this study is that the use of films is an effective and efficient learning medium for improving English vocabulary mastery in seventh-grade junior high school students.
