Abstract

Language is crucially important in human life. To be part of a community, language is most likely the easiest medium for humans to communicate with one another quickly and functionally. English is the medium of choice for 60% of the world's literacy. It is not an exaggeration to say that once a person has mastered English, he will have access to the entire world. When teaching students to communicate, the teacher should be able to entice them to practice speaking spontaneously. To encourage students to express themselves spontaneously, this study used Information Gap functions. The objectives of this research are to determine and describe whether using Information Gap activities has a significant impact on the students' speaking ability in the first semester of tenth grade at SMA X Lampung in 2022/2023. In this research, the experimental approach has been used, with 2 classifications chosen at random. One class served as the control group, while the other served as the experiment group. T-test was used to compare both classes when analyzing the data. The results of this research indicate that students who were taught using Information Gaps activities performed better in speaking than those who were taught using traditional techniques. It also implies that participating in Information Gap practices has a major impact on students' speaking ability at SMA X Lampung in the first semester of the tenth class in 2022/2023.

Abstract

It is still debatable whether distance learning is effective to be implemented fully. In pandemic where classes have been conducted online for more than a year, students’ motivation in attending the lectures fully is questionable. This study aims to determine students’ motivation in attending the lectures gradually. The students’ motivation six months after the face-to-face meeting was forbidden is compared to their motivation a year after the classes were done online. This research is a quantitative study using a quasi-experimental research design with a time-series model. The population of this research is all 1st and 2nd semester students who took English For Business 1 and 2 courses. Data collection was carried out by using questionnaires to gain students’ motivation using Dornyei’s L2MSS questionnaires and additional 10 items from regular face to face class modified into items about the online language learning added to Language Learning section. Data analysis was conducted using the t test for paired samples. The results of the analysis obtained that distance learning is effective to maintain students’ motivation in attending classes in shorter period while it possibly decreases in longer time and teacher possibly needs creativity to maintain the students’ motivation.
