Abstract

This paper aims to improve students' listening comprehension by implementing a structured instructional program that emphasizes three critical elements: Listening for Gist, Inferring Meaning, and Detecting Signposts. The primary goal is to identify educational strategies that are effective and can significantly enhance students' academic performance and listening abilities. The study addresses a significant gap in previous research by offering a comprehensive framework that integrates multiple aspects of listening comprehension, thereby contributing to the existing literature. This framework often isolates these skills. The program aims to enhance students' listening scores and cultivate a more profound comprehension of spoken language by implementing a targeted approach. The research utilizes a classroom action research design involving a cohort of 40 students who participated in three distinct instruction cycles. Each cycle focused on A specific listening component, which involved using a combination of active listening techniques, contextual exercises, and signpost identification activities. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the instructional strategies and the progression of the students, pre-and post-test assessments were implemented. In all three cycles, the results show substantial improvements, with average scores increasing from 60 to 75 in Listening for Gist, 65 to 82 in Inferring Meaning, and 70 to 88 in Detecting Signposts. These results indicate that the targeted interventions were effective in improving students' listening skills, as numerous students demonstrated a significant improvement in their ability to understand spoken texts. This research has implications for both educational practice and future research. The results emphasize the significance of a multifaceted approach to listening instruction, which motivates educators to implement comparable frameworks in their instruction. Furthermore, additional research could investigate the long-term implications of these instructional strategies on listening proficiency and their generalisability in various educational settings.

Abstract

Learning materials are important components of the language teaching and learning process, including the writing course. To develop writing learning materials, particularly for higher education, it is crucial to identify the students’ writing needs. As the initial step in developing learning materials to support teaching writing, this study aims to investigate undergraduate students' current abilities and needs, as well as the appropriate ICT tools. The study for needs assessments was responded by 184 English department students from various Indonesian universities and six of them were interviewed. The findings indicated that students of various capacities have the desire to acquire knowledge and improve their writing skills. The results highlight the undergraduate students' learning experiences and insufficient writing abilities, with problematic areas in grammar and the organization of ideas, as well as challenges in writing independently during the learning process. In addition, teachers should either have or improve their pedagogical expertise and be adaptive to the evolution of information and technology to fulfill the needs indicated by students. Further study is needed to take the next step toward developing and providing learning materials with a range of activities, assignments, assessments, and applications to excite students' interest and engagement in the writing course.

The activity was conducted on May 1st, 2026, from 14.00 to 17.00 WITA through coordination, delivery of academic speaking materials, experience sharing, individual academic presentation practice, peer and facilitator feedback, reflective sharing, and future action planning. Before the practice session, participants received materials on communication competence as personal branding, the distinction between good speaking and fluent speaking, academic presentation structure, public speaking skills, visual aids, academic phrases, question-and-answer strategies, and common mistakes to avoid in presentations.
