Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of using the Memrise mobile app, specifically its New General Service List (NGSL) 1.01 flashcard sets, on English vocabulary acquisition among high school students. Recognizing vocabulary as a critical component of language mastery, this research addresses the challenges in vocabulary learning and the potential benefits of digital tools in enhancing language skills. This study employs a pre-experimental with one-group pre-test–post-test design. the study involved 35 tenth-grade students from Senior High School 1 Praya Timur. Then, the NGSL diagnostic test (NGSL vocabulary test with multiple choice form) was used to measure vocabulary knowledge before and after a five-week intervention with the Memrise app. The results of this study indicated significant improvements in vocabulary scores post-intervention, demonstrating the app's effectiveness. A positive correlation was found between the number of flashcard sets used and students' NGSLT scores. The findings suggest that digital learning platforms like Memrise can significantly enhance vocabulary acquisition, making learning more engaging and effective. The study recommends integrating such tools into educational practices to improve vocabulary learning outcomes. Future research should investigate the long-term effects and demographic variations in the effectiveness of digital vocabulary learning tools.

Abstract

Learning English for VHS students should be directed at mastering the ability to use English for communication in their respective fields. However, field observations show that the ability to use English remains a challenge for most VHS students due to various obstacles. This study aims to develop an innovative teaching module model to support the implementation of teaching English for Vocational Schools (TEVHS). This is qualitative reserach using survey method. It was conducted at VHS in Mataram Lombok, involving 23 English teachers from VHS English Teachers’ Forum (MGMP VHS). The data were collected using triangulation techniques such as a questionnaire, focus group discussion (FGD), ducummentary. The collected data were then analyzed qualitatively using Miles & Hubbermen’s Model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Based on the analysis, the conclusions are as follows: (1) English learning for VHS students needs to be reconstructed to meet the demands of the workforce. With the diverse requirements of various occupations, the design of TEVHS must be based on the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approach; (2) TEVHS must be designed to instill communication skills by providing various inputs from receptive skills (Listening, Reading, and Viewing) which can be used as models for language production (Speaking, Reading, Presenting). To enhance innovation in learning, it is recommended that the design of TEVHS integrate such approach and model as ESP, Whole-Part-Whole, and TPACK to overcome various problems.

Abstract

This study used a descriptive qualitative method to describe the Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) and discover the most dominant strategies used by the eleventh-grade students of MAN 1 Bima. The subjects were 15 male and 15 female students. The data were collected using a questionnaire of 40 items selected from Schmitt’s (1997) Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire (VLSQ). Interviews were also conducted to obtain more information from the students. The data was calculated using the Likert scale formula in the MS Excel software package. The result shows that male and female students employed more than one strategy in learning vocabulary. The dominant Vocabulary Learning Strategy (VLS) used by male students was metacognitive strategies (63%), and the least is memory strategies (47%). Meanwhile, the dominant Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) used by female students were metacognitive strategies (72%), and the least determination strategies (54%). This finding also revealed no statistically significant difference in male and female students’ use of the five categories and individual VLSs.

Abstract

Abstract: Vocabulary plays a crucial role in English language acquisition, serving as the foundation for developing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. This study investigates the effectiveness of the semantic mapping technique in improving vocabulary learning and retention among seventh-grade students at SMPN 2 Sakra Timur. This study employs a pre-experimental design, The study involves a single experimental group of 30 students who underwent pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test assessments. Data were analyzed using Repeated Measures ANCOVA to find out significant differences across testing phases. The results indicate that the semantic mapping technique significantly improved students' vocabulary learning, as evidenced by a substantial increase in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores (p = 0.007, n = 0.235). However, the technique did not significantly improve students' retention, as evidenced by the non-significant interaction between time and pre-test scores (p = 0,137, n = 0.077). These findings suggest that while semantic mapping is effective in facilitating initial vocabulary learning, its impact on long-term retention remains limited.

Abstract

This study explores the development of English learning materials using Quizizz-based interactive design for tenth-grade students of Office Management and Business Services (OMBS) at SMKN 1 Mataram. Vocational high schools aim to equip students with both specialized skills and essential competencies, such as English, which is taught as a foreign language tailored to meet the specific needs of the OMBS curriculum. The integration of technology, particularly through the use of Quizizz, enhances the learning experience by promoting engagement and motivation among students. The study employs the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) for material development, ensuring alignment with student needs and curricular goals. Expert validation and student-teacher feedback reveal that the materials are highly effective, with students demonstrating increased motivation and improved learning outcomes. The interactive elements of Quizizz, including polls, open-ended questions, and various quiz formats, foster an engaging and interactive learning environment. The findings suggest that Quizizz-based learning materials can significantly enhance the learning process, making it more enjoyable and effective for vocational high school students. This research serves as a reference for future studies on material development and highlights the potential of Quizizz as a valuable tool for interactive education.
