This study explores how group discussion activities can improve students’ confidence in speaking English at MA Asy-Syarif Sidang Koto Laweh, a pesantren-based senior high school. Many students initially struggled with anxiety, limited vocabulary, and hesitation when speaking. A descriptive qualitative method was used, involving two eleventh-grade classes. Data were collected through classroom observation, documentation, and informal interviews. The results show that group discussion significantly increased students’ willingness to speak, vocabulary recall, and overall participation. Working in small groups helped students feel more comfortable expressing ideas, receiving peer support, and practicing before presenting. Although each class showed different learning dynamics, both demonstrated positive improvement. This study concludes that group discussion is an effective strategy for enhancing students’ speaking confidence in EFL classrooms.

Vocabulary plays a central role in students’ ability to understand and use English effectively, particularly in vocational education where learners are expected to apply language skills in practical, work-related contexts. This study examines whether there is a significant difference in vocabulary achievement between students who use Google Translate and those who use a paper dictionary during English learning. A comparative quantitative design was employed, involving two groups of tenth-grade students at SMK N 2 Bukittinggi. Ninety students were selected through simple random sampling and divided evenly into a Google Translate group and a paper dictionary group. A vocabulary test consisting of multiple-choice items was administered to measure students’ knowledge of word form, meaning, and use. The test results were analyzed using an independent sample t-test to compare the performance of the two groups. The findings show that the mean score of the paper dictionary group was slightly higher than that of the Google Translate group; however, the difference was not statistically significant. This indicates that both tools provide comparable support for vocabulary learning. The results suggest that the effectiveness of vocabulary acquisition does not depend solely on the type of tool used, but rather on how learners interact with the tool and apply vocabulary in meaningful contexts. The study underscores the value of allowing students to use either resource according to their preferences and highlights the importance of integrating both digital and traditional tools to promote balanced and strategic vocabulary learning in vocational classrooms.

This research investigated the correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. It was motivated by several issues identified among students, such as difficulties in expressing ideas effectively, inconsistencies in writing styles possibly influenced by different levels of language exposure, and a lack of familiarity with proper writing structures. The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability among eighth-grade students. A correlational research design was employed in this research. The population consisted of 80 eighth-grade students, and total sampling was used to include all participants. The instruments used were a questionnaire and a writing test. The questionnaire contained 23 items to measure students’ language exposure, while the writing test required students to write a recount text based on one of four given topics. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation through SPSS. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.755, indicating a strong and positive relationship between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. The results suggest that greater exposure to the English language significantly contributes to the improvement of students’ writing ability. It can be concluded that enhancing students’ engagement with English through various forms of exposure plays an important role in developing their writing proficiency.
