Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of video-based instruction in improving the English pronunciation skills of 32 second-year students at a public senior high school in South Sulawesi. Using a one-group pre-test–post-test design over one month, students participated in eight sessions incorporating video materials that modeled vowels, consonants, stress, intonation, and rhythm. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests were analyzed using SPSS. Results showed a significant improvement in pronunciation scores—from an average of 48.50 (“poor”) to 65.75—with a paired-samples t-test (t = –10.213, p = 0.000) confirming the statistical significance. Students made notable gains in producing unfamiliar phonemes and recognizing word stress, though intonation and rhythm remained more challenging. These findings suggest that video-assisted learning can enhance pronunciation outcomes in EFL classrooms. Practically, this implies that teachers should integrate multimedia tools into instruction to increase student engagement, provide authentic models, and foster more effective and inclusive pronunciation learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of technology on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, specifically focusing on the utilization of technology by introverted and extroverted students. The objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of how technology is employed as a learning tool and to identify potential disparities between the two student groups. A descriptive research design was adopted, and qualitative analysis was used for data interpretation. The participants included introverted students and extroverted students, who were interviewed online using WhatsApp media. The findings indicate that both introverted and extroverted students employ technology, particularly learning videos, to enhance their language skills. However, introverted students tend to prefer using technology alone compared to their extroverted counterparts. These results offer insights into the differences between introverted and extroverted learners in utilizing technology for EFL learning. The study contributes to the existing literature on individual learner differences, with a specific focus on the use of technology by introverted and extroverted students in the EFL context.
