Abstract

This investigation explores the role of the Structured Classroom Debate method in elevating speaking proficiency among students at MAN 4 Bone. Adopting a quantitative pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest model, the study involved 30 tenth-grade participants. Speaking was evaluated through an oral assessment rubric focusing on fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and argument coherence. Post-intervention analysis demonstrated substantial gains, with mean scores climbing from 42.66 (pretest) to 90.13 (posttest). The N-Gain score reached 0.84, categorized as high effectiveness. A paired samples t-test produced a significance level below 0.001, affirming the statistical validity of the improvements. Notably, every speaking component advanced, with fluency exhibiting the most dramatic increase, followed sequentially by vocabulary, pronunciation, argument clarity, and grammar. These outcomes indicate that debate activities foster greater oral engagement, refined idea structuring, and heightened delivery confidence. Consequently, the Structured Classroom Debate emerges as a highly suitable and impactful technique for advancing speaking abilities in educational settings.

Abstract

This study is a quantitative research employing a pre-experimental design. It aims to determine the difference in students’ learning activeness in IPAS before and after the use of digital Spinning Wheel media, as well as to examine the effect of its implementation. The population of this study consisted of all sixth-grade students of SD Inpres 6/75 Corawali, totaling 20 students. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered before and after the treatment. The data analysis techniques included descriptive and inferential statistics using the Paired Sample t-Test. The results showed that students’ learning activeness in IPAS before the use of the digital Spinning Wheel media was in the low category with a mean score of 58.45, while after the implementation it increased to 70.05 in the good category. The study concludes that there is a significant effect of the use of digital Spinning Wheel media on students’ learning activeness in IPAS at SD Inpres 6/75 Corawali, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05

Abstract

This qualitative study explores how digital literacy supports students' lexical knowledge by investigating their daily interactions with digital platforms. Six digitally literate third-year students at SMA Negeri 3 Makassar participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis with a deductive approach, organized into four pre-determined themes: digital access, digital scaffolding, digital engagement, and self-directed learning. The results reveal that digital literacy supports vocabulary learning in several meaningful ways. Students used a wide variety of digital platforms and tools, deliberately configured their digital environments to maximize English exposure, actively used scaffolding features such as translation tools and AI chatbots to understand new words in context, engaged with English digital content daily through personally meaningful activities, and developed independent vocabulary learning routines without teacher guidance. In conclusion, digital literacy not only facilitates vocabulary acquisition but also nurtures learner autonomy and meaningful engagement with English in authentic digital contexts.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether problem-based learning can improve students' understanding of English-language material. Pre-experimental and one-group pretest-posttest designs were employed in this quantitative study. Twelve classes from UPT SMAN 1 Barru's class XI F made up the study population. 35 pupils from class XI F 10 made up the study's sample. Random sampling was used to choose the study's sample. A 20-question multiple-choice test served as the research tool. The test was given twice: once before therapy (pretest) and once following treatment (posttest). Four meetings were conducted using the problem-based learning approach. The average pretest score was 50.00, while the average posttest score rose to 82.42, according to the data analysis results. Furthermore, a statistically significant increase with a 2-tailed sig. 0.000 < 0.05 was found in the paired sample t-test study. The data analysis led to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). This suggests that using problem-based learning techniques can be beneficial and the best option for raising students' understanding of English-language content. In order to improve students' understanding of the English language curriculum at SMAN 1 Barru, problem-based learning techniques can be incorporated as an interesting and dynamic teaching strategy.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the differentiated learning approach on EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition at the junior high school level. Vocabulary is a fundamental component of language learning; however, many EFL students still experience difficulties due to differences in readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Although differentiated learning has been widely discussed in previous studies, its empirical implementation in improving vocabulary acquisition in junior high school EFL contexts remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the differentiated learning approach significantly affects students’ vocabulary acquisition. This study employed a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The population consisted of all ninth-grade students at UPT SMPN 3 Kelara, and the sample was selected through purposive sampling, involving two classes as the experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using statistical tests to measure the differences between groups. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement compared to the control group. The mean score of the experimental group increased substantially from 30.71 in the pre-test to 65.95 in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students’ vocabulary acquisition. In conclusion, the differentiated learning approach significantly improves EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition and provides an effective alternative to conventional teaching methods in promoting student-centered learning at the junior high school level.
