Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using narrative texts to enhance student motivation and reading comprehension in English learning among XI IPA 1 students at MAN 1 Barru during the 2023/2024 academic year. Employing a one-group pretest and post-test design, this quantitative research systematically collects and analyzes numerical data to measure student progress. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 69.00 in the pre-test to 87.00 in the post-test. Additionally, the number of students achieving the mastery threshold (≥75) rose from 16.0% (4 students) in the pre-test to 48.0% (12 students) in the post-test. Statistical analysis confirmed that this improvement was highly significant (p = 0.000). These results indicate that learning with narrative texts effectively enhances students' reading comprehension skills, contributing to their overall English language proficiency. The findings of this study confirm that the implementation of narrative texts in reading instruction significantly improves students’ comprehension abilities. The substantial increase in post-test scores suggests that narrative texts can serve as an effective pedagogical approach to foster motivation and engagement in reading activities. Educators are encouraged to integrate narrative texts into English language instruction to optimize student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of using YouTube as a learning tool to enhance their English-speaking skills at SMKN 1 Barru. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involved ten vocational students selected purposively from the eleventh grade. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations, focusing on students’ experiences, challenges, and perceived benefits when using YouTube in English learning. The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach, supported by triangulation to ensure validity and credibility. The findings reveal that students perceive YouTube as a compelling, engaging, and accessible platform for improving speaking skills. The use of authentic videos helps learners enrich vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and build speaking confidence through imitation and exposure to native-like models. Moreover, YouTube fosters self-directed learning and motivation by allowing students to control their pace and learning environment. However, several challenges were also noted, such as distraction and limited internet access. The study highlights the pedagogical potential of YouTube in promoting interactive and autonomous learning, particularly in vocational education contexts where communicative competence is essential.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education is increasingly vital, yet evidence regarding its effectiveness in specific learning contexts remains limited. This study addresses that gap by examining the impact of Moodle as a Learning Management System (LMS) on students’ English learning outcomes in a boarding school setting. A quasi-experimental pretest–post-test design was employed with 70 students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught through Moodle LMS, while the control group received instruction via conventional lectures. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed improvement in both groups, but the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores, as confirmed by t-test analyses (p < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that Moodle LMS not only enhances academic performance but also promotes greater engagement, active participation, and access to structured learning resources. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of Moodle, particularly within boarding school environments, where students benefit from continuous, technology-supported interaction. The research contributes to growing evidence on the role of LMS platforms in fostering 21st-century learning and recommends their broader implementation to strengthen English language instruction and digital literacy skills.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on English language teaching in higher education. The scope of the study was limited to the opportunities and challenges of English language teaching. This study was conducted using a mixed method of conducting surveys and in-depth interviews. A questionnaire link using Spreadsheet’s Google Form was sent to the English lecturer through the WhatsApp group and personal contact No. The study sample consisted of 16 English lecturers. Analyzing the questionnaire and interview transcript indicates that the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has created opportunities and challenges for English language teaching and learning. AI has changed the landscape of English language teaching in higher education. English lecturers utilized different types of AI for various purposes, for example, asking and solving questions and checking for grammatical errors, checking plagiarism, paraphrasing, and reviewing literature. The study also revealed that AI has a variety of advantages for language teaching and learning, including the detection of plagiarism and grammatical errors. In addition, AI has created opportunities and challenges for the future of English language teaching. AI required digital literacy to utilize. The English teaching profession might be taken over by AI in the future, so English lecturers must continuously improve their digital literacy.
