Abstract

Pelaksanaan pengabdian ini didasari pada beberapa hasil penelitian sebelumnya yang mengungkapkan bahwa pembelajaran bahasa Inggris terhadap peserta didik kurang menggembirakan karena para peserta didik menganggap bahwa pelajaran bahasa Inggris itu sulit dipahami dan dimengerti. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Tambunsaribu, G. et.al (2021) mengungkapkan bahwa faktor penyebab masalah internal peserta didik itu sendiri dimana 77 % respondent yang mengatakan bahasa Inggris itu dianggap membingungkan dan sulit dipelajari. Dua puluh dua percent (22 %) respondent mengatakan materi berbicara (speaking) sulit dipelajari. Selain dari pada temuan penelitian di atas, hasil pengamatan pengabdi sendiri pada beberapa mahasiswa pada program studi di lingkungan Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, menemukan bahwa mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan mempelajari dan memahami bahasa Inggris, mungkin disebabkan oleh belum berkesesuaian strategi atau teknik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang mendorong mahasiswa untuk mengetahuinya dan merasa senang belajar. Oleh karena itu, melalui kesempatan ini, pengabdi melakukan pengabdian dalam bentuk pelatihan yaitu menawarkan suatu pendekatan atau teknik yang dapat membantu peserta didik atau mahasiswa mengurangi kebingungan dan kesulitan yang dirasakan selama ini. Pengabdi menawarkan pelatihan dengan menggunakan salah satu pembelajaran kooperatif dalam kelompok kecil, yaitu berpasang-pasangan dalam mengemukakan ide, pikiran masing-masing sesuai dengan apa yang dikehendaki oleh pasangannya. Hasil penelitian Susanti dan Linaris (2021) mengungkap bahwa siswa yang menggunakan metode diskusi kelompok kecil memiliki lebih banyak kesempatan untuk berkontribusi dalam diskusi kelas. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian mereka, juga mengungkap bahwa salah satu strategi atau teknik yang dapat membantu siswa dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berkomunikasi adalah melalui diskusi kelompok kecil. Temuan-temuan penelitian dan hasil pengamatan tersebut, membuat para pengabdi akan memperaktikkan salah satu strategi atau teknik diskusi kelompok kecil, yaitu terdiri dari 2 (dua) orang saling bercakap-cakap (berbicara) sesuai dengan tema bahasa Inggris yang diberikan. Teknik pembelajaran dalam pelatihan ini adalah ‘Information Gap Activities (IGA)’ dimana masing-masing mahasiswa mempunyai peran. Oleh karena itu, tahapan pelaksanaan dalam pelatihan ini dimulai dari pengumpulan bahan pelatihan berupa topik-topik percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa, kemudian mahasiswa berlatih dengan memberikan kesempatan yang sama kepada masing-masing pasangan untuk memperaktikkannya sesuai peran masing-masing, dan pada akhir pelatihan, instruktur (pengabdi) memberikan penguatan tentang kegiatan yang telah dilakukan untuk menambah wawasan tentang apa yang telah diperaktikkan. Melalui pelatihan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan rasa ingin tahu mahasiswa, menambah pengetahuan bahasa Inggris, sehingga dengan sadar mempraktikkan sendiri bersama temannya melalui percakapan bahasa Inggris yang sehari-hari mahasiswa gunakan dan alami.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using TikTok’s "Duet" feature on improving the speaking skills of eleventh-grade students. The research problem addressed the challenge of enhancing students’ English-speaking abilities through innovative digital media. A quasi-experimental research method with a pre-test and post-test design was applied to a sample of 44 students (n = 44) from the eleventh grade at SMA Labschool Untad Palu. The treatment involved using TikTok’s Duet feature as a learning medium during the speaking activities. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking abilities (t = 6.21, p < 0.05) after the treatment, indicating the positive impact of the intervention. This significant improvement was observed in the accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility aspects of speaking. The findings suggest that TikTok’s Duet feature can be an effective tool to support English-speaking skill development in high school students. However, the study has limitations, including the short duration of the treatment and the limited sample size. Further research is needed to assess the long-term effects of this intervention and to explore its applicability in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Many learners continue to struggle with English speaking skills, particularly in achieving accuracy and clarity of comprehension. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Song Interpretation Method on enhancing the speaking performance of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sindue during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research focused on two main aspects of speaking ability: accuracy and comprehensibility. A quantitative approach was implemented through a quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups. The sample consisted of two classes selected through random sampling, with one designated as the experimental group and the other as the control group. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software, and the Mann–Whitney U Test was employed to assess the differences between the two groups. The findings indicated an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.035, which is lower than 0.05, signifying a significant difference between the post-test scores of the groups. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, confirming that the Song Interpretation Method substantially enhanced students’ speaking proficiency, particularly in terms of accuracy and comprehensibility. These findings suggest that integrating songs into English instruction can foster communicative competence, increase classroom interaction, and motivate learners in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Spotify music platform on improving the English pronunciation of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu, with a specific focus on the articulation of liquid consonants (/l/ and /r/), which commonly present difficulties for Indonesian learners of English. A quantitative pre-experimental design, utilising a one-group pre-test and post-test model, was employed with a sample of 28 students. Pronunciation tests were administered before and after the treatment to evaluate progress. The results revealed a significant improvement, as indicated by the increase in the mean score from 9.36 to 15.25, supported by a t-value of 27.36, which exceeds the t-table value of 2.052. These findings demonstrate that English songs on Spotify offer repetitive and authentic listening input, which strengthens articulation accuracy. The novelty of this study lies in analysing differential improvement between /l/ and /r/ sounds through a Spotify-based intervention. The implication suggests that digital music platforms can be used as effective supplementary tools in pronunciation teaching.

Abstract

Students in EFL classrooms often exhibit low participation in speaking activities, leading to passive interaction and limited oral practice. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) technique on improving students’ speaking skills at SMAN 5 Palu. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test was employed involving two intact classes selected through purposive sampling: class XI M9 as the experimental group and class XI M7 as the control group, each consisting of 35 students. The experimental group received instruction using the TPS technique, while the control group received conventional instruction. Students’ speaking performance was assessed based on accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. Data from pre- and post-tests were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test. The results showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ speaking skills after the implementation of the TPS technique. The experimental mean score increased from 30.20 on the pre-test to 67.14 on the post-test, whereas the control group showed only a slight increase from 30.40 to 41.45. The statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between the two groups, t (68) = 12.20, p < .05. These findings indicate that the Think-Pair-Share technique is effective in enhancing students’ speaking performance.
