Abstract

The Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method is a cooperative learning method used to develop language skills such as reading and writing in the classroom at the high school level. This study used a Quasi-experimental design because it aims to investigate whether the teaching technique has a significant impact on students' reading comprehension. In this study, eleventh grade students of SMA 6 Palopo in the academic year 2023/2024 were selected as the object of research. Students in the experimental group after the treatment were in the good and quite good classification, while the control group was in the quite bad classification. The mean scores of the experimental group and control group in the pre-test and post-test were 74.11 and 64.11, respectively, with standard deviations of 16.885 and 13.833. After treatment with the CIRC method, the mean scores of students in both groups were higher than those in the non-CIRC treatment group. The results showed that the treatment in the control group and the experimental group showed significant improvement in students' reading comprehension achievement. In conclusion, the application of Cooperative Integrative Reading Composition has shown promising results in improving students' English learning, especially in reading narrative texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using Scrabble as a cooperative learning model to enhance students' vocabulary mastery. The research involved 35 students and employed pre-test and post-test designs to assess the impact of the intervention. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvements in students' vocabulary understanding, with an average pre-test score of 56.3 increasing to 76.0 post-test. The analysis indicated a mean gain of 20 points and a 20% increase in learning outcomes. Normality tests confirmed the data's distribution, and homogeneity tests of variance showed consistent results across the groups. The findings suggest that Scrabble effectively enhances students' vocabulary skills, supported by a t-value of 3.48 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference pre- and post-intervention. These results highlight Scrabble's potential as an engaging tool for improving conceptual understanding in educational settings.

Abstract

This study was conducted to explore students’ perceptions of using TikTok as a medium for learning English. As the use of social media in education continues to grow, TikTok has become one of the platforms frequently utilized by students to access learning materials that are engaging, interactive, and easy to understand. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five English Language Education students at Muhammadiyah University of Palopo who actively use TikTok for learning. The findings reveal that students respond positively to TikTok as a learning tool. They perceive features such as Duet, Stitch, subtitles, and trend-based videos as helpful in improving vocabulary, pronunciation, listening skills, and speaking confidence. TikTok is also considered capable of boosting learning motivation due to its appealing content, easy accessibility, and alignment with the learning preferences of young users. Nevertheless, students still encounter several challenges, including inaccurate information, distractions from non-educational content, limited interaction, and short video duration that often lacks in-depth explanations. Despite these limitations, TikTok is viewed as an effective supplementary medium when used selectively and combined with formal instruction. Overall, the study concludes that TikTok holds strong potential as a creative and flexible additional learning tool that can enhance students’ English language proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates how the integration of YouTube and artificial intelligence (AI) tools enhances students’ extensive listening skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. The research addresses a key issue in digital language learning: while students frequently use YouTube for exposure to authentic language, the absence of structured scaffolding and strategy instruction often limits comprehension gains. Focusing on this problem, the study explores how AI-assisted tools—such as real-time transcription, automatic subtitles, summarization, and adaptive feedback—can transform YouTube-based listening from passive consumption into active, autonomous learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected students from We Learn English Students Course in Palopo, an English language training center. Data collection and analysis followed a three-phase procedure: transcription, member checking, and coding to uncover learners’ strategies, motivations, and perceived skill development. The findings reveal that AI-supported YouTube activities significantly improved learners’ comprehension, pronunciation, and self-regulated learning behaviors. Students demonstrated increased metacognitive awareness, utilizing AI tools to plan, monitor, and evaluate their listening performance. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation and learner autonomy were strengthened, as participants selected content aligned with their interests and received personalized feedback. The study concludes that AI-mediated YouTube engagement fosters a shift “from scroll to skill,” transforming entertainment-oriented digital habits into meaningful language learning experiences. The results underscore the pedagogical potential of integrating AI-driven scaffolding into extensive listening instruction to promote motivation, competence, and learner independence in EFL settings.
