The objective of this research is to prove that the use of English songs can improve simple past tense mastery used in recount text. The researcher used quasi experimental research design. The population of this research is the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Sigi, and the samples were the students of XI IPS 2 and XI IPS 4 with the total number of students is 53. The researcher applied purposive random sampling technique. The data were collected through the complement test that consisted of pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed statistically in order to find out the significant difference of the students’ achievement before and after treatments. The mean score of the pretest of experimental group is 33.78, while the control group is 32.04. The mean score of the posttest of experimental group 74.74, and the control group is 42.27. After analyzing the data t-counted (15.98) is greater than t-table (1.676) by applying 0.05 level of significance and 51 degree of freedom (df). Based on the result of research, it means that the hypothesis is accepted. In conclusion, using English songs can improve students’ simple past tense mastery used in recount text of the eleventh grade at SMA Negeri 2 Sigi

Abstract

This study was conducted through Library Research method which describes the implementation of socio-affective strategy in teaching speaking English. The aim of this study is to describe the steps on the implementation of socio-affective strategy to encourage students in teaching speaking English. The data sources were taken from scientific writing on the implementation of socio-affective strategy from 5 scientific writings. The results reveal that in using socio-affective strategies, the teacher or lectures used six steps of strategies such as reducing students’ anxiety, encouraging themselves to speak, controlling emotion, asking question, cooperating with others, and empathizing with others based on Oxford (1990). The students definitely have positive response toward the use of socio-affective strategy in teaching speaking English. They thought that socio-affective strategies is possible help them to enhance their ability, motivation, and confidence in speaking skill. It is concluded that using Socio-Affective Strategies in teaching speaking English is effective to increase students’ speaking skill. In other words, differences in the teaching procedures do not negatively impact the students speaking ability.the teaching procedures do not negatively impact the students speaking ability.

Abstract

Many EFL students continue to struggle with plural formation, particularly in distinguishing regular and irregular noun patterns. This study aimed to identify the inflectional markings most frequently misused in forming plural nouns, to classify inflectional errors, and to calculate the frequency of each error type produced by EFL students. The researchers employed a quantitative descriptive research design. The study population consisted of third-semester students from the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University, with 153 participants selected via simple random sampling. A test consisting of 35 questions was used as the main instrument in this study, and the errors were analysed using Dulay’s Surface Strategy Taxonomy. The findings showed that the irregular form -f/-fe to -ves was the most frequently misused inflectional marking by the students, with a total frequency of 500 errors. Furthermore, 2,358 errors were found in students’ answers across four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Misformation was the most frequent type of error with a frequency of 1,014 (43.00%), followed by omission with 813 (34.48%), addition with 385 (16.33%), and misordering with 146 (6.19%). These findings indicate that students require more targeted instruction on irregular plural forms. The results highlight the need for teaching strategies that explicitly strengthen students’ morphological understanding to reduce recurring errors in plural formation.

Abstract

Despite growing interest in authentic assessment as a learner-centered approach in English language teaching, empirical findings on its effectiveness in improving students’ English learning outcomes remain inconsistent across contexts and assessment types. The absence of synthesized evidence makes it challenging for educators and policymakers to draw firm conclusions about its overall impact. Therefore, this study aims to systematically examine the effect of authentic assessment on students’ English learning outcomes using a meta-analytic approach. This study employed a quantitative meta-analysis by synthesizing data from 25 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025. The studies were retrieved from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish application and selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. Effect sizes were calculated using Hedges’ g, and a Random Effects Model was applied to estimate the pooled effect size while accounting for between-study variability. The results reveal a statistically significant positive effect of authentic assessment on students’ English learning outcomes, with a pooled effect size of g = 1.203 (z = 5.54, p < .001). Substantial heterogeneity was observed, justifying the use of the random-effects model. Funnel plot analysis indicates no serious publication bias. Overall, the findings confirm that authentic assessment has a strong and meaningful influence on English learning outcomes and supports its integration into English language teaching practices.

Abstract

This study examines speech anxiety among sixth-semester English Education students at Tadulako University, highlighting the ongoing challenges that hinder students' ability to communicate confidently despite having taken various speaking courses. This study aims to identify the main factors contributing to speaking anxiety and analyze the coping strategies used by students to overcome these psychological barriers in the classroom context. Using a mixed-methods design that sequentially combined qualitative and quantitative methods, this study first collected quantitative data through a questionnaire administered to sixth-semester students to measure anxiety levels and identify contributing factors, followed by semi-structured interviews with selected participants to gain deeper insights into their personal experiences and management strategies. Findings indicate that speaking anxiety primarily stems from two interrelated domains: psychological factors, including fear of negative evaluation, lack of confidence, and perfectionism; and linguistic factors, such as limited vocabulary, grammatical uncertainty, and pronunciation difficulties. Students reported using various coping mechanisms, ranging from thorough preparation and collaboration with peers to relaxation techniques and talking. This study emphasizes that speaking anxiety is not merely temporary nervousness, but rather a complex phenomenon that affects student participation in class, learning motivation, and their perception of themselves as future English language educators. This highlights the need for a more supportive learning environment and targeted interventions to address the emotional and linguistic dimensions of this challenge.
