Abstract

Speaking and listening are language skills that are supporting each other. Students who have good speaking competence will have good listening skills as well. Unfortunately, students who have good listening skills do not indicate that they have good speaking skills. To help students in improving speaking and listening, this study applied team games-based language learning (TG-BLL) model. This model was designed with appropriate learning materials and activities, and English experts validated the quality of learning materials. Therefore, this current study was aimed at investigating the use of the TG-BLL model to improve students’ speaking and listening skills viewed from their creativity at secondary schools at Algeria. To attain the research goal, this study employed quasi experimental research with using pre-test post-test control group design. 69 students were involved in this study as research samples. The samples were divided into two groups which are experimental and control groups. The samples were selected using cluster random sampling. The variable of creativity in this study was pointed as a helping variable to see whether the level of students’ creativity come to affect students’ speaking and listening skills. To see the significant effect of team games-based language learning on speaking and listening skills, the researcher applied t-test statistical analysis. Meanwhile, ANOVA statistical analysis was applied to see the interaction between the TG-BLL model and students’ creativity level on speaking and listening skills at the secondary level. The result showed that the TG-BLL model had good effect on speaking and listening skills in the experimental group. It was proven that the score of the t-test was higher than t-table with 0.05 significant level. Moreover, there was good interaction between the GBLL model and students’ creativity level to affect students’ speaking and listening skills at secondary schools. The implementation of the TG-BLL model was useful in improving students’ pronunciation, grammar, and knowledge of how sounds get reduced.

Abstract

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) is a mobile device-based approach that is utilized in language learning to enhance students' reading proficiency. As mobile devices have become the dominant mode of learning due to prevailing conditions, it has become increasingly necessary to employ adaptable learning processes that aim to improve students' reading skills through the use of metacognitive strategies. Although reading is one of several skills essential to learning English, in the current pandemic situation, it is impractical to teach it directly. Therefore, the MALL approach is imperative to adapt to the new teaching-learning process, particularly in the current pandemic scenario. This study endeavors to assess the application of MALL and its impact on students' reading skills by conducting both qualitative and quantitative research. Data collection methods in this study include observation, documentation, and field notes. The study involved one problematic class, to which researchers implemented the MALL application, followed by tests and interviews at the end of the study. The results indicate a significant increase in students' reading skills, along with ease of learning during the pandemic. Thus, this study highlights the efficacy of the MALL approach in improving students' reading skills and adapting to the pandemic-induced new teaching-learning process.
