Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain whether the use of TikTok educational content significantly improves the English pronunciation of seventh-grade students at UPT SPF SMPN 27 Makassar. This research employs a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample for this study included 30 Students from class 7.2 who were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through a pre-test, treatment consisting of four sessions, and a post-test. The results indicated that the mean score and standard deviation of the pretest were 46.22, categorized as poor, while the post-test score after treatment was 71.33, categorized as good. The percentage improvement from pretest to post-test was 54.32%. Hypothesis testing results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores, evidenced by a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.001 < 0.05. This signifies that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted.

Abstract

This quantitative study aims to explore the effectiveness of peer learning activities in improving students’ English vocabulary. The research employed a pre-experimental design involving one group pretest-posttest, with participants consisting of 25 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Parangloe. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the peer learning intervention. The findings indicate a notable improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery. Pretest results showed that 68% of students were in the "Poor" category, with no students achieving "Good" or "Very Good" scores. After the intervention, 40% of students reached the "Good" and "Very Good" categories, while those in the "Poor" range dropped to 32%. The mean score increased from 63.20 to 77.40, with consistent standard deviation and low standard error, indicating reliable results. The N-Gain score of 0.38 classified the vocabulary improvement as "Average." Furthermore, the paired sample t-test yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁). In conclusion, peer learning activities have a statistically significant and positive effect on enhancing students’ English vocabulary skills, although some students may still require additional support for further improvement.
