Abstract

This study investigates the process of acquiring English speaking skills, emphasizing the indispensable role of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in facilitating effective communication between speakers and listeners. Acknowledging the critical need for learners to command these core components of the English language, this research specifically targets students residing in rural locales. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the investigation centred on eighth-grade students from a Private Madrasah Tsanawiyah, chosen via convenience sampling. Data were garnered through observations, interviews, and questionnaires, revealing that issues related to practical application of skills were more pronounced than theoretical knowledge gaps. Notably, the findings indicate that a lack of confidence significantly impedes skill development, with 80% of challenges linked to this factor, compared to 72% associated with knowledge deficiencies in language production. In light of these insights, the research underscores the paramount problem of inadequate skill factors among students. Consequently, it advocates for English teachers to exhibit superior pedagogical competence, highlighting the necessity for educators to deploy effective teaching methodologies within the instructional framework.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance students’ speaking skills in an academic setting by applying the Team-based Learning Model and describe how they perceive the implementation of IDLE digital technology-based devices in the application of the team-based learning model. Mixed Method research is used in this investigation. An experimental method was used to collect quantitative data, applying the Team-based Learning model to teach speaking skills to two student groups, which were selected using a probability sampling technique. Questionnaires and oral tests were used to gather quantitative data, while qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions and interviews. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS for Windows, and the qualitative data, which focuses on the problems and the objectives of the research, was analyzed using Content Analysis. The results of the data analysis show more students passed the Speaking in Academic Context Course than the students did in the previous academic years. The passing scores are between 71 to 76 and 86 to 100, or grades B (Good) and A (Very Good). According to the findings of data analysis on student perceptions obtained from questionnaires, students used several IDLE digital technology-based devices to complete projects, used the IDLE digital technology-based devices for fairly effective periods, between 30 minutes and over an hour per day, and used them for both receptive and productive activities individually and in group. The findings imply that the effective selection of teaching models and instructional media, especially the application of IDLE digital technology-based devices, is needed to motivate students to learn individually and in groups.

Abstract

This study was conducted through Library Research method which describes the application of Word Chain Game in Teaching Vocabulary Mastery. Word Chain Game is type of game designed to help players improve their vocabulary mastery. The objectives of this research are to describe the steps on the implementation of Word Chain Game in teaching vocabulary mastery and describe the students’ vocabulary mastery after the implementation of Word Chain Game. The data source were taken from Lewis Carroll (1879) as the primary data and scientific writing on the implementation of Word Chain Game from 2010-2021 as the secondary data. The result of the library research method indicate that there are 5 (five) scientific writing. The result of descriptive analysis show that the implementation of Word Chain Game in five different studies used different steps in implementing the procedures produced by the proponents of the game which consist of 4 steps. 1) The words used must be derived from dictionary. Proper names and words are not permitted. 2) The next word must be formed from the previous word by continuing the word with the last letter in it to form a Chain Word. 3) No word may be used as a Link unless it (or, if an inflection, the word from which it comes) is listed in the following Glossary. When adjectives and adverbs are regularly formed, their comparatives and superlatives are regarded as 'inflections' of the positive form and are not given separately: for example, if the word 'new' is given, it is to be understood that 'newer' and 'newest' are also admissible. However, nouns formed from verbs (such as 'reader' from 'read') are not considered to be so, and may not be used as Links unless they are found in the Glossary. 4) When played in a group, the person who cannot provide the word link is eliminated, and the winner is the only one who remains. When there are two players, the one who makes the most word links wins. One of them ask the students to write, spell, and pronounce the word. Two of them just ask the students to write the word, and other researchers only ask the students to pronounce the word. The vocabulary mastery of EFL students improved after the implementation of Word Chain Game in the classroom. According to the findings, it provides an interesting method for vocabulary building skill and strategies, word memorization, word list recall or vocabulary recognition, and group work. It is conclude that using Word Chain Game in teaching vocabulary is effective. In other words, differences in the teaching procedures do not negatively impact the students vocabulary mastery.
