Abstract

A common issue faced in the English study program is students' lack of understanding in listening, as evidenced by low scores in the listening section of the TOEFL test. Additionally, students often engage in activities requiring strong listening skills to comprehend speakers and interact effectively with others. To address this, researchers have chosen Spotify as a tool for enhancing listening skills due to its accessibility at any time and place. This study aimed to explore students' perceptions and development while using Spotify for listening practice. Utilizing qualitative methods and purposive sampling, as only a few students use Spotify, the findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed or agreed that Spotify is an effective medium for improving their listening skills. Positive feedback from interview responses further supports the idea that Spotify is a suitable tool for listening practice. The study's results indicate that respondents have a positive perception of Spotify as a medium for listening practice, as it offers a wide variety of songs and podcasts across different genres. Respondents predominantly agreed that Spotify helps improve their English skills, particularly in listening and vocabulary, while also providing a comfortable and motivating environment for learning.

Abstract

In the era of global competition, enhancing English language skills is critical, and project-based learning (PjBL) presents a potential model to improve student engagement and language competence. This qualitative case study, conducted at SMPN 1 Jonggat in Central Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, examines English teachers' perceptions of PjBL, focusing on its effectiveness, challenges, and implementation strategies. Using a purposive sample of three English teachers who employ PjBL in their classrooms, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and close-ended questionnaires to capture detailed insights into teachers' attitudes and experiences with PjBL. Semi-structured interviews allowed for in-depth exploration of teachers' subjective experiences, while questionnaires provided structured data on specific aspects of PjBL’s implementation. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman's three-step process—data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification—to systematically interpret findings. This study contributes valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance English language teaching through PjBL, offering a framework for understanding both the benefits and challenges of PjBL from teachers’ perspectives in a secondary school context. Findings are expected to support improved teaching strategies and contribute to more effective English education practices.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the correlation between students' interest and their English learning outcomes among grade XI students at SMAN 5 Mataram, as well as to identify the factors influencing students' interest in learning English. The significance of English language competency in a global society highlights the need to understand the variables affecting students' interest in learning. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines qualitative data from interviews with quantitative data from questionnaires and documentation of students' English grades. A total of 36 students from grade XI–7 were selected as the sample through simple random sampling. The results indicated that the majority of students (63.89%) had a moderate interest in studying English; however, 61.11% did not meet the minimum competency criteria in English language learning. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.511, p = 0.001 < 0.05) between students' interest and their English learning outcomes. Factors such as student experience, motivation, teaching methods, the learning environment, and the social environment were identified as influences on students' interest in learning. This study concludes that increasing student interest can significantly enhance their English learning outcomes.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of using English subtitles from Western child-friendly movies on students' English vocabulary. This research was experimental research and implemented a pre-test post-test group design. The sample of thsi research was the students from 9th grade students of SMP 1 Praya which consisted of 50 students. This research used observation and test as the research instruments. The result of this research showed that the independent sample t-test revealed a significance (2-tailed) value of 0.000. Since this value is less than the standard threshold of 0.05, it indicates that the difference between the mean scores of the control and experimental classes is statistically significant. This finding confirms that the observed variation in scores is unlikely to have occurred by random chance. Therefore, it can be concluded that the intervention applied to the experimental class using English subtitles in Western child-friendly movies had a substantial and measurable impact on improving students’ vocabulary proficiency compared to the traditional teaching methods employed in the control class. These findings highlight the effectiveness of using English subtitles in Western child-friendly movies as a teaching tool for improving vocabulary. The experimental class's significant improvement compared to the control class's limited progress underscores the potential of innovative methods over traditional teaching approaches in enhancing students’ English vocabulary proficiency.

Abstract

This research investigates the significant effect of using phonetic-based materials, particularly the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), in teaching pronunciation skills to eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Mataram. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model, the study involved 32 students from class XIF MIPA-6. Data were collected through pronunciation assessments using the Elsa Speak application, which analyzed students’ performance before and after treatment. The treatment consisted of structured lessons integrating phonetic symbols and guided practice across four meetings. The statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (t = 2.275 > t-table = 2.040, α = 0.05), indicating that phonetic-based materials positively affected students’ pronunciation skills. Despite the modest increase in mean scores (from 75.8 to 76.5), the improvement was statistically significant. The study concludes that the integration of phonetic-based materials is an effective approach to enhance English pronunciation among EFL students.

Abstract

This study delves into the transformative potential of integrating gamification principles into vocabulary learning for 11th-grade students at SMAN 4 Mataram. Vocabulary acquisition is critical for academic progress, especially in preparation for standardized exams and college admissions, yet conventional methods often lack student engagement. Gamification, defined as the incorporation of game elements into non-gaming contexts, emerges as a promising strategy. The research explores how English teachers at SMAN 4 Mataram employ gamification, addressing questions about the types used, advantages gained, and obstacles faced. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study identifies two principal gamification classifications: content gamification, involving modifications to educational materials, and structural gamification, integrating game elements without altering content. Teachers utilize diverse gamification methodologies, fostering interactive learning environments. Challenges include accommodating diverse student abilities and aligning with evolving curriculum requirements. Theoretical implications span educational gamification, cognitive processes in vocabulary acquisition, and motivation theories. Practically, the study aims to enhance students' vocabulary skills, academic performance, and engagement, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers in leveraging gamification for improved language learning outcomes.

Abstract

Translanguaging is the practice of changing the usage of two different languages or more in order to improve communication and enrich the linguistic aspects of language use. This study presents the use of translanguaging in EFL classroom by English teachers. The main aim of this study is to describe the components and the functions of translanguaging used by the English teachers at MTsN 1 Mataram during teaching and learning process. The subject of this study consisted of two English teachers who teach at MTsN 1 Mataram. The results of this study show that there are two components and six functions of translanguaging used by the English teachers. The translanguaging’s components used by the English teachers were dominated by 58% code-switching, and 42% translating and interpreting. The difference between translanguaging and code switching is in the concept. Translanguaging allows anyone to use more than two languages without constraints, yet code-switching has its own limitations. In addition, the highest frequency of translanguaging functions is message qualification which occurred 30 times or 31%. Meanwhile, the lowest frequencies are quotations, and personalization vs objectification, where each of these functions contains one data. The implications of translanguaging in education are vast and can have a positive impact on various aspects of teaching and learning
