Abstract

This study explores EFL students' perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy to enhance reading comprehension. Recognizing the vital role of reading skills in language development and academic success, the research investigates how TPS facilitates active learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. Data were collected through interviews with seven participants and questionnaires from twenty-four students majoring in English Language Education at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings reveal that the majority of students view TPS as a highly effective and enjoyable strategy that improves their understanding of reading texts, builds confidence, and fosters peer interaction. Despite these positive outcomes, students face challenges such as limited time for discussion, difficulty in expressing ideas, and differences in background knowledge, which can hinder discussion quality. The study highlights the importance of teachers considering students' abilities and providing appropriate guidance to maximize the strategy’s benefits. Overall, TPS proves to be a valuable approach in motivating students, increasing their engagement, and improving reading comprehension skills.

Abstract

Understanding language assessment literacy (LAL) is an important part of pre-service English teachers’ professional development. Although interest in language assessment has increased, studies focusing on pre-service teachers’ LAL in the Indonesian EFL context remain limited. A clearer understanding of how pre-service teachers view and interpret classroom assessment is therefore needed to support more effective assessment practices and improve language teaching and learning. This qualitative study explores Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers' perceived readiness for classroom assessment by examining how aspects of LAL are articulated through interview data. The study involved ten English education study program students who had completed the teaching practicum program in East Java, Indonesia. The findings indicate that, despite expressing confidence in their readiness to teach, the participants demonstrated limited and uneven understandings of key LAL components. The small number of participants and the specific institutional context limit the transferability of the findings. Nevertheless, this study suggests that closer attention to LAL within pre-service English teachers’ education may help support the development of more balanced assessments.

From t-count , the researcher found that, the value of t- count (-42,698) was higher than t-table (-47,191) at the level of significance 0,000 degree of freedom (df) = 17 . Based on the findings, the researcher concluced that, the use of picture series had good improvement for students’ speaking skill at SMK Pemuda Taruna Ngraseh.
