This study sought to prove whether there is an inclination in students’ ability before and after video-editing treatments.This study was carried out under the umbrella of quasi-experimental study as it involved one group pretes-posttest design. There were 13 students chosen through the procedure of total sampling. They were given a pretest to make 3 videos—3 minutes in duration each—in topic of Describing People, Inviting People, and Accepting and Refusing Invitation. Later, six treatments were given: three treatments of video-editing and three other were about material design. Afterwards, the post-test was essentially similar with pretest regarding the procedural means. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22 by employing the formula of normality test and Z-Score to perform hypothesis testing. The results uncovered that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is consequently accepted because the rvalue obtained from the Z-Score is 2.63, which is higher than rtable= 0.47 (df=11, α=0.05, right tailed). Additionlly, the average score for the 13 samples before applying video editing procedures was 56.23, and after the treatments, this score incilned to be 79.Then in can be concuded that after obtaining the treatments, students' performance in terms of video editing abilities with reference to material design or speaking class has necessarily improved. The finding implies that it is best to train teacher and prospective teachers with video-editing ability to enable them design good and convenient teaching materials in the future where digital era has transmerged into all pedagogical aspects.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.8817

Self-efficacy is one of the often-underestimated factors, which in fact, has an influence in determining human action. This study aims to find out the correlation between self-efficacy and the TOEFL performance of the students in two universities in Banda Aceh, namely Syiah Kuala University and Serambi Mekkah University. This study employed the correlational design to find out the correlation between the two main variables (self-efficacy and TOEFL performance). The sampling technique used in this study was the stratified sampling method with a total sample of 200 university students, both English, and Non-English majors. Furthermore, to collect the data, two instruments were used, namely the self-efficacy questionnaire and the TOEFL test. In analyzing the data, Pearson’s Correlation was used to find out the correlation. The result shows that there is a positive and low correlation between university students’ self-efficacy and their TOEFL performance (r=.249). Despite the correlation is low, self-efficacy is still considered to contribute to the TOEFL score. Therefore, it is suggested that TOEFL instructors consider the variable of self-efficacy in their teaching. Furthermore, it is expected that future research continues this study by enlarging the sample size in different levels of education and in different areas.

Teacher talk must be specific, clear, concise, and comprehensible for students as the target interlocutors. This study aimed to characterize lexical density in teacher talks of elementary school teachers and university lecturers during teaching. A qualitative descriptive technique was used involving lexico-grammar analysis from an SFL perspective. The subjects of this study were three elementary school teachers (6th-grade teachers) and three university lecturers (English lecturers) who were voluntarily recorded during their teaching time; once for each. Hence, the object of this study is the transcriptions of teacher talks from these six research subjects which were then analyzed using documentation techniques of data analysis namely selection, categorization, classification, identification, and verification. The results show that the lexical density used in elementary school teacher talk is 42.65% (low) and that one employed at the university level is 36.76% (low). Unexpectedly, the rate for elementary school is somewhat higher than that for the university level. This case appears to have an intervening aspect because the elementary school is an international school. It is learned that an educational institution—regardless of its level—with a distinct learning target would certainly influence the lexical density employed in the teachers’ spoken discourse during classes.

TikTok can be used for many purposes, including for mastering English vocabulary. This study aims to determine the improvement of EFL students English vocabulary ability after being taught vocabulary using TikTok videos. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a total of 178 Grade VII EFL students from a state junior high school in northern Sumatra. In this study, the sample consisted of two groups, totaling 61 students, which were then divided into two groups: the experimental group and control group. In collecting the data, the researchers conducted vocabulary tests in both the pre- and post-tests. The results revealed that the students average pre-test score in the experimental group was 66.44, while the average of the students pre-test scores in the control group was 65.77, indicating similar initial achievements. However, the mean post-test score of the experimental group after being taught vocabulary using TikTok videos remarkably increased to 91.39, while the mean post-test score of the control group was 79.99. Furthermore, the SPSS result also showed that the t-score of the post-test in the experimental and control groups was 5.83, at the 5% level of significance (= 0.05), which was out of the limits of 1.96 and 1.96. Therefore, the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis suggests that teaching vocabulary through the TikTok application has a significant positive impact on vocabulary proficiency. Therefore, EFL teachers are encouraged to selectively incorporate TikTok videos into their vocabulary teaching approaches.

This study assesses the effectiveness of using movies with English subtitles for teaching vocabulary. Experimental research refers to a method in which one explores variables for their causing effect through manipulation and observes the impact on another variable. The present study was conducted experimentally with SMPN 1 Peukan Bada grade VIII students. The study's sample consists of 57 students divided into two classes: one, VIII 5, as an experimental class in which the movies were shown with subtitles in English, and the other, VIII 7, as a control class where the movie was presented without subtitles. Data has been collected in the form of pre-and post-tests to measure the improvement in vocabulary acquisition by students. The average of pre-tests was 58 for the experimental and 56 for the control classes. It was observed that the experimental class had a steep increase in their vocabulary score as compared to the control class. The mean post-test score of the experimental class was 90 while the average of the control class climbed up to 76. Data were analyzed using both independent t-tests and paired t-tests to determine the significance of differences between the two groups by SPSS. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there was indeed a significant difference between the two classes, with the p-value less than <0.001. Therefore, it would be proper to conclude that the use of English subtitles while watching movies effectively enhances vocabulary acquisition for students.

Learning materials have essential roles in building learning environment—whether it becomes learner-centered, knowledge-centered, or assessment-centered. This study sought the trend of learning material development in basic speaking class. This study was qualitative in nature where the data quality was the key point measurement for further steps in finding the answer(s) to the research question. The data source was materials used for 14 meetings of Basic Conversation class. While the subject of this study was these materials, the object was the material criteria categorized based on Bransford’s et al. (2001) representation about learning material development in a classroom. The data analysis employed interactive analysis undergoing three steps which were data reduction, data display, and data verification. The results show that learner-centeredness was majorly developed in Meeting 2, Meeting 4, Meeting 5, Meeting 8, Meeting 9, and Meeting 10; knowledge-centeredness was majorly developed in Meeting 3, Meeting 6, and Meeting 7; and assessment-centeredness was majorly developed in Meeting 6 and Meeting 7. It is concluded that, first, the learning materials used for Basic Conversation class generally developed learner-centered environment as the focus was students’ interest and their background knowledge. Secondly, the materials also accentuated on knowledge-centeredness, though not as much as the first result. Last, there was also slight but still substantial development of assessment-centered environment. It implies that there can be found ample balance between these three types of learning centeredness to promote good learning environment.
