Abstract

The aim of this research was to make sure whether the use of English fantasy movie clips was able to improve students’ listening skills at SMPN 2 Mappakasunggu. This research was conducted using the quantitative method with a pre-experimental design with one group of pre-test and post-test. This research population consisted of ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Mappakasunggu, and the research sample was IX-A class, which consisted of 24 students, selected by purposive sampling technique. The data from this research were collected through the provision of pre-test and post-test material used as a comparison to find out how to improve students' listening skills before and after using English fantasy movie clips as learning media. The results of this research showed that the use of English fantasy movie clips as a learning medium was able to improve students' listening skills and increase their knowledge of vocabulary, especially verb.. This was indicated by an increase in student scores, where the average student pre-test score was 61.07 and the average student post-test score was 82.18, indicating an increase of 34.5% in this research. Furthermore, the results of the data analysis show that the t-test value (6.59) was higher than the t-table value (2.807) and the outcome of the hypothesis test indicated that (H₁) was accepted and (H₀) was rejected. Based on these findings, it can be interpreted that there are significant differences in students' listening skills before and after they use English fantasy movie clips as a medium for the learning process.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of third-semester students in the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, focusing on the translation of argumentative texts from English into Indonesian. While previous research has mainly examined narrative or descriptive genres, studies on argumentative texts remain limited, despite their prominence in academic contexts and their demanding linguistic and cognitive features. This study addresses the lack of empirical work on argumentative translation and contributes practical strategies for EFL teachers. A quantitative descriptive design was employed to evaluate students’ translation performance across three key dimensions: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Data were collected through a performance-based translation test and assessed using a rubric adapted from Nababan (2012). Findings revealed that although most students produced translations that were acceptable and readable, accuracy emerged as the most problematic dimension. Only 53.3% of the students achieved fully accurate translations, compared with stronger performance in acceptability (66.7%) and moderate results in readability (40%). These outcomes indicate that while students demonstrated cultural and linguistic fluency, they struggled with semantic precision and logical coherence. The results highlight the pedagogical need for integrating genre-based translation tasks into EFL curricula and providing explicit instruction in strategies such as managing logical flow, coherence, and stylistic alignment.

Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching, the advent of visual media has profoundly impacted education by offering fresh opportunities to motivate learners and explain intricate linguistic ideas. The current research investigated the perceptions of EFL learners at the university level regarding the advantages and disadvantages posed by visual media. A qualitative case study design was employed to gather data through open-ended questionnaires distributed to five purposefully selected students, aiming to capture the full range of a multimedia-informed continuum of proficiency and prior exposure. Thematic analysis revealed three primary themes: (a) visual media significantly enhances engagement and understanding, contributing to more interactive lessons and appreciation of abstract language components; (b) significant challenges like insufficient broadband access, overly complex content far exceeding students’ capabilities, lessons dominated by the need to pre-analyze visuals at the expense of text, and lack of access to certain media presented barriers; and (c) students recommended practical strategies for optimizing visual media use, such as aligning content with cultural and linguistic contexts, incorporating interactive teaching methods, providing offline resources, and enhancing teacher training in multimedia integration. This insight extends the literature, evidencing the simultaneous promise and challenge interactions posed for language learning through visual media. This study enhances the understanding of the impact of media on the efficient utilization of EFL instruction within the frameworks of discourse and paradigms, including balance, context-appropriate use, pathways into the study of sustained and new technological impacts, and multilayered inquiry for technology’s influence over time.
