Abstract

Students’ reading comprehension quality is highly influenced by some salient features such as method of instruction, media/technology used, class size, students’ prior ability, teaching materials, etc. This experimental study explores the influence of technology in teaching reading through the use of computer screen as opposed to conventional mean, i.e., the use of textbook in teaching reading comprehension for TOEFL test. While some argues that paper-based reading text is still relevant today, the use of technology like screen-based text is believed to help students to understand and comprehend reading text better due to some important reasons. The design of the study is experimental research which includes 117 students from some departments in Riau University. There are two groups of students involved in this study namely control (54 students) and experimental (63 students) group which receive different treatment in the process of teaching and learning within 7 meetings. Based on the result of the study, the students’ reading comprehension score in TOEFL after they were given the treatment shows that 36.320 mean score for the control group and 40.310 mean score for the experimental group. The value of Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.001 and it is smaller than the value of Alpha 0.05. Thus, it implies that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted. In other words, it can be said that there is a significance difference between students’ reading comprehension in experimental and control groups. Based on the statistical analysis of the data, it is found that students who are treated with screen-based text have better reading comprehension than those who used paper-based text. It can be concluded that screen-based text is effective enough to improve students’ reading comprehension in TOEFL prediction test.

This study attempts to describe theories in this framework to analyze the maxims violation on students’ humor of Students. This is a case study on sophisticated issue in the Students Group Page. It used qualitative study method to generate in-depth understanding about humor of Students Chitchat Page on Facebook through observing the humor which contradicts with the common sense. In Students Chitchat Page on Facebook the four maxims are flouted, violated, infringed, opted out or suspended, so that one remark of humor after another is created. Keywords: Cooperative Principle, Humor, Maxims.

Abstract

In the era of industry 4.0, most of human’s activities cannot be separated from digitalization. The digitalization has collaborated with the educational institution. The Language Centre of Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis usually holds a TOEIC test (online and offline) to fulfill the industrial world in preparing qualified alumni. The TOEIC instructor or lecturer used a TOEIC application while teaching in TOEIC intensive class where it is a preparation class for the students. This study investigated the problem faced by the students during listening through application which is called TOEIC Test Prep in learning TOEIC materials in the TOEIC intensive class and also investigated the challenges faced by them during the use of application. The participants of the study were 43 non-English majoring students (the fifth semester) of State Polytechnique of Bengkalis.  The study used questionnaires to collect the data and the data were analyzed based on three categories; students’ background, the general difficulties on TOEIC listening, the challenges during listening through the use of TOEIC Test Prep application. The result of the study showed that the non-English majoring students in Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis felt the application had helped them in listening practice. Key words: TOEIC, TOEIC Test Prep Application, Listening Comprehension

Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is one of the approaches that can significantly enhance students’ communicative language competence. Numerous studies on TBLT demonstrate favorable outcomes, and a notable number of educators affirm that TBLT is among the effective approaches they can employ. By the same token, many students view TBLT positively. However, a significant portion of recent research seems to concentrate exclusively on English students, while TBLT holds potential applicability for non-English students across various disciplines. These students exhibit distinct characteristics due to language exposure in the classroom. This study investigates non-English students' perception of TBLT practice, specifically civil engineering students at Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis. The purposive sampling technique was used, 47 students who learned English with the TBLT approach. This study utilized a perception questionnaire comprising 17 items. It covers three essential considerations in TBLT namely the nature of tasks (5 items), the difficulty level of tasks (6 items), and the teacher’s roles during the practice (6 items). The finding revealed that non-English students had a positive attitude towards TBLT, as they expressed strong agreement with the positive statements in all three constructs. This shows that TBLT is viewed favorably by English and non-English students alike, regardless of their characteristic differences.

Abstract

English proficiency is a crucial competence for vocational higher education students, particularly in engineering fields where access to technical information and global communication increasingly relies on English. However, many first-semester students enter polytechnic institutions with limited basic English skills. This study aimed to describe the basic English proficiency of first-semester Mechanical Engineering students at Politeknik Negeri Bengkalis. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, involving 131 students from five classes selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a basic English proficiency test focusing on fundamental grammar, simple sentence construction, and general vocabulary. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean scores, score distribution, and proficiency levels.The findings revealed that students’ overall English proficiency was low to moderate, with a mean score of 60.57. More than half of the participants were classified into very low and low proficiency categories, indicating insufficient mastery of foundational English skills. The results also showed considerable variation in students’ performance, reflecting diverse educational backgrounds and unequal English exposure prior to entering higher education.
