Abstract

The methods of teaching English in Indonesia promote the use of code-switching strategies and have resulted in the widespread practice of pronouncing English words following the structures of the Indonesian language. This study investigated at the effects of the immersive multimedia learning technique with peer support on performance in English in terms of oral production skills in reading and speaking that involved six measures, namely, pausing, phrasing, stress, intonation, rate, and integration without the mediation of the students’ first language. It also investigated were the effects on performance by students’ achievement. The quasi-experimental 2 X 2 factorial design with pre-test and post-test was employed for the study. The first factor was the strategy of learning, namely the use of immersive multimedia learning with and without peer support, while the second factors comprised achievement in English. 80 first-year university students enrolled in English as a foreign language course were selected for this study and the treatment lasted for eight weeks. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA. The findings showed that the immersive multimedia learning with peer support group reported significantly better performance in all measures of oral production for reading and speaking. Analyses by achievement showed that the high achievement students in the immersive multimedia learning with peer support group reported significantly better performance in all measures of oral production only for speaking while the low achievement students in the immersive multimedia learning with peer supported group reported significantly better performance in all measures of oral production for reading and speaking. These findings showed that the immersive multimedia technique with peer support reduced the use of code-switching strategies among the students and enabled them to develop oral production skills in English approaching the patterns of native speakers especially among low achievement students.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the pros and cons of standing while working and studying. A qualitative research was employed where the data taken from education practitioners and students interested to learn and support the introduction of standing desks. The finding of the study show that students and sedentary workers now spend up to 85% of their waking hours,(+/-13.5 hrs/day), sitting viz: sitting at meals, sitting in transportation, sitting in schools or offices, sitting watching TV or looking at a handphone or an i-pad plus sitting whilst watching sport or playing computer games. Even if standing in classes became the default behaviour in all classes it could only result in a maximum of about 20 extra hours of standing per week during semesters and thus could only reduce the amount of time spent sitting by a maximum of 14% of waking hours to 71% of waking hours. The height of Standing Desks should be at the elbow height of the  person concerned ie about 1.00m for senior high school and university students and adults. For primary school students the desk height for the standing desk is about 75cm – ie. the same as the desk height for normal sitting desks for adults. The study also did a small survey of educators, 66% of whom would support the introduction of  standing desks.  Finally the study found that 72 % of the students and their teacher supported the introduction of standing desks. It is hoped that some schools and offices will take the initiative to introduce standing desks on a larger scale.

Abstract

A proposal seminar presentation is one of the compulsory activities that university students must undertake before writing their thesis. This usually causes anxiety for students because they have to present their research proposals in front of lecturers as reviewers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types and causes of speaking anxiety among English Education Department students at Universitas Syiah Kuala during their proposal seminar presentations. This study used a descriptive qualitative design in which questionnaires, interviews and observation were employed as research instruments. The data were collected from ten students who were presenting their research proposals. The analysis, involving percentages and transcript examination, revealed three types of speaking anxiety: test anxiety, communication apprehension, and fear of evaluation. Test anxiety emerged as the most prevalent type. Additionally, the study identified three primary factors contributing to speaking anxiety: fear of making mistakes, insufficient knowledge, and low self-confidence.

Abstract

Technology expands students' opportunities for authentic interaction with native speakers and other language learners at various levels, both inside and outside of the classroom. The purpose of this research is to examine an improvement in students' speaking skills in terms of fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and accuracy by using English YouTube videos, as well as the impact on students' speaking skills with a civil and non civil servant's family background in rural school. In this study, a quantitative method with a true experimental design was used, and a total of N=90 students participated, with N=50 students chosen using purposive sampling from two different classes to serve as samples. The instrument for the study included tests, a pre-test, and a post-test. The data was then analysed statistically to determine the results of the given pre-test and post-test. The average score increased after the post-test in terms of receiving results in terms of improving students' English speaking. Accuracy turned out to be one of the most important aspects of speaking that improved markedly. It means that students learned from native speakers through English YouTube videos, and their accuracy has enormously improved as a result. Meanwhile, students from civil servant families scored 95 on the post-test, while students from non-civil servant families scored 92.5. It was discovered that there is only a minor difference in improvement between civil and non-civil servant students' backgrounds. Teachers should consider using authentic English YouTube videos in the classroom to assist children of their English speaking skills.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to describe how teachers design the Computer-Based Madrasah Exam (CBME) questions for English subjects, to investigate learning strategies students use, and to explore the obstacles the students face in this exam. Questionnaires and interviews were used as the instruments to collect data for this study. A number of 95 ninth-grade students and two English teachers of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri No. 1 (MTsN 1; this school level is equivalent to junior high schools) in South Aceh, Indonesia, participated in this study. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using thematic analysis. The results revealed that in designing the assessment of CBME, the teachers used four strategies which were preparing for the change in the final exam model, selecting sources in designing the exam questions, preparing students to face the exam in the new model, and resolving obstacles in developing the exam questions. Meanwhile, the students used five strategies in facing the exam, they are managing time, motivating themselves, creating study groups, practicing, and strengthening basic abilities. Furthermore, the obstacles that the students faced in the exam are a lack of skill in using a computer for the exam, slow internet access, limited computer availability, limitation of vocabulary mastery, taking time to understand questions, and peers interventions. Thus, this study suggests that more training is still needed for teachers in designing the assessment model of CMBE and the school also need sufficient facilities before they enforce CMBE to their students.

Abstract

This study seeks to evaluate the impact of YouTube videos incorporating an immersive learning strategy on the speaking performance of young learners. It is designed as a quantitative research project. The participants consist of all fifth-grade students at Islamic Primary School 6 Banda Aceh during the 2023/2024 academic year, totaling 40 students—20 engaged in pair learning and 20 in individual learning. A random sampling method was implemented using Google Forms. Data collection involved an oral pre-test and post-test or interview as the primary instrument. The data were analyzed statistically with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to determine the p-value for four speaking skills. The results revealed a sig 2-tailed value of 0.000 for all four items, falling below the 0.05 significance level. This indicates that YouTube videos with an immersive learning strategy significantly influenced the speaking performance of young learners, particularly in expressing personal needs. These findings carry pedagogical implications for EFL teachers, encouraging the use of YouTube videos to improve students’ speaking abilities. The results can guide teachers and curriculum designers in choosing and organizing learning activities to optimize language development outcomes through a student-centered approach.
