Abstract

English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in global communication, with listening skills being essential for effective learning. However, challenges remain in engaging students in listening comprehension. This study aims to evaluate the use of the Disney movie 'Luca' as a tool for improving listening skills among seventh-grade students at SMPN Tanggulangin. Utilizing a pre-experimental design, 32 students were selected through purposive sampling, with data collected from pretests and posttests. Findings reveal a significant enhancement in listening comprehension post-intervention, evidenced by a p-value of 0.000, indicating that the null hypothesis is rejected. The study demonstrates that incorporating movies into the learning process not only aids in comprehension but also creates a more relaxed and enjoyable learning environment for students. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on integrating popular media into language education, addressing a gap in effective listening instruction. As a result, this study suggests that educators should routinely integrate film technology into language learning to foster better listening skills among students, thereby enriching their educational experience. Highlights: Significant Improvement: The study found a notable enhancement in listening comprehension after using the Disney movie 'Luca' as a learning tool. Engaging Learning Environment: Incorporating movies made the learning process more enjoyable and relaxed for students. Recommendations for Educators: The research suggests integrating film technology into language education to improve students' listening skills consistently. Keywords: Disney movie, listening comprehension, language education, student engagement, educational technology.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has reshaped students’ learning preferences, particularly in accessing reading materials. Despite the abundance of digital resources, many students still struggle to develop sufficient English reading skills, indicating a need for innovative media that align with their learning habits. While several studies have investigated social media as a supplementary learning tool, limited research has specifically examined the systematic use of Instagram in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the implementation of Instagram as a learning medium to improve students’ reading skills and to measure its effectiveness in classroom practice. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 28 university students, who were taught with Instagram-based reading materials. Reading materials were selected from authentic Instagram posts and delivered during eight instructional sessions over eight weeks. Data were collected through validated and reliable reading comprehension tests administered as a pretest and post-test. In addition, a student reading test was used to capture learners’ skills in Instagram-based reading activities. The findings revealed that students’ post-test scores significantly outperformed their pre-test scores, with a notable increase in their mean post-test scores (M = 69.00) compared to the pretest scores (M = 59.60). Independent samples T-test analysis confirmed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), indicating that Instagram effectively supports reading comprehension improvement. Moreover, students reported higher motivation and engagement when learning through Instagram. These results suggest that Instagram can serve as an innovative and authentic medium to enhance reading skills in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Acquiring a foreign language necessitates navigating practical situations that transcend linguistic and cultural barriers. Therefore, it is the teachers’ responsibility to develop these abilities. However, teachers rarely do so in a foreign language (FL) teaching. Integrating culture into the process of language teaching becomes crucial. Utilizing the textbook is one method to incorporate culture into the FL classroom, as it contains cultural material and linguistics.  Limited research has been devoted to pedagogical analysis compared to the extensive concentration on content analysis in ELT textbook studies. The study aims to examine the teachers’ approaches to cultural depictions in an international English for Foreign Language (EFL) textbook, intending to educate students on a global worldview. The present study employed a qualitative research method with a case study design. The study recruited two junior high school English teachers who taught seventh-grade students at a private school in East Java, Indonesia. These teachers had incorporated cultural elements into their teaching. The instruments used to accomplish the research purpose were observation and post-observation interviews. The study's findings have verified that teachers utilized a comparative approach in presenting foreign cultural elements from the supplementary book to enhance English language learning. Exploring the students’ culture and contrasting it with foreign cultures has the potential to inspire greater participation from students in classroom activities. Using this strategy enables students to develop their English language proficiency in both linguistic and cultural aspects.

Abstract

At the Senior High School level, English language competence becomes increasingly vital, particularly in the face of globalization issues. English in school is not only a classroom subject; it is also a means of communication skill. These two factors are critical for developing students' character and preparing them for either further education or entry into the highly competitive workforce. This study was conducted at a state high school in East Java, aiming to study the role of the school in the use of English in the school environment. It was found that the environment, the curriculum, and the roles of teachers as well as the students are interrelated in supporting the use of English in the school environment. It is intended that these systems will reinforce one another, promoting harmony in the classroom and the teaching and learning process.
