Abstract

Speaking is a crucial skill for people, especially English learners. However, many students struggle due to limited experience and inadequate understanding. The lack of systematic assessment of successful speaking skills before university entrance and limited time spent practicing speaking in primary and secondary English classes contribute to this issue. The objective of the study is to determine the extent to which TikTok can enhance the speaking skills of junior high school pupils. The study employs quantitative research methods and is structured as a quasi-experimental design. The researcher analyzed the data using an independent sample t-test. The test results indicate that TikTok significantly enhances the speaking abilities of junior high school students by allowing them to learn native speaker pronunciations and unfamiliar words through watching TikTok videos. This suggests that TikTok is an effective educational platform for language learning. Various types of speaking can be covered when learning to use TikTok such as imitative, responsive, and extensive, also the components of speaking abilities, specifically fluency and accuracy. Additionally, numerous educational videos on TikTok could serve as material for learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using Wakelet as a media to improve senior high school students' descriptive text writing skills. The research was conducted at one of senior high school in East Java, focusing on tenth-grade students. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group who is using Wakelet and a control group. Data collection was performed through pre-tests and post-tests to assess the students' writing performance. The results were analyzed using statistical methods, including independent sample t-tests. The findings indicated a significant improvement in the descriptive text writing skills of students who used Wakelet compared to the control class who did not. The mean score of the experimental group was notably higher (sig. value 0.013 < 0.05) than that of the control group. This research demonstrates that Wakelet is an effective tool for teaching descriptive text writing (? = 0.076). It provides an interactive and engaging platform that enhances students’ writing skill. The study suggests that educators consider integrating Wakelet into their teaching practices to improve writing skills.

Abstract

Web-based game can be an alternative learning media for students to improve their vocabulary mastery in reading. Nevertheless, few studies look at how web-based games can be used as a teaching tool to help junior high school students improve their vocabulary, especially in context of reading. The main objective of this research is to know the differences between the improvement of vocabulary mastery of 7 grade students at a junior high school in Indonesia who use the web-based vocabulary game "WordWall" compared to those who do not. This research was carried out using a quasi-experimental design by using Pre-test and Post-test as the instruments. Furthermore, as research participants, there were two classes from one of the junior high schools in Surabaya: 7E which was the experimental group (N=31), and 7F students became the control group (N=31). The findings of this research showed that the significance value <0.05 was achieved (0.00), and it indicates that there is a significant difference in the results of learning vocabulary between the experimental group and the control group. It can be concluded that using web-basaed game has a significant impact on students’ improvement in vocabulary mastery in reading than those who do not.

Abstract

The trend towards more process-oriented academic writing instructions require students to pay more attention to and develop their use of writing strategies to ensure learning success. Accordingly, the current study investigates the use of writing strategies performed by freshmen of the English language department in an Indonesian teaching university. The study is an initial effort to provide a theoretical basis for the development of more student-centered and process-oriented writing instructions for the university’s academic writing courses. To attain its purpose, the study focuses its investigation into the stage where writing strategies are most likely to be used and the types of writing strategies being employed by students. Questionnaires modified from Petrić & Czárl (2003) were distributed to 125 freshmen to obtain the data which constitute the types of writing strategies being used, their frequency of use, and the stages of writing within which they were used. Descriptive quantitative analysis was performed afterwards to the collected data. Results show that most freshman are medium users of the strategies, with While Writing as the stage within which students tend to use writing strategies, followed by Pre-writing and Revising Writing. This result implies that the development of learning instruction for academic writing needs to accommodate the development of writing strategies used in three stages of writing, particularly during the Pre-writing and Revising Writing. Further research is also required with different data collection method and instruments to allow for generalization to wider audience which is not possible with the current research, given its limited use of instrument and participants involved.

Abstract

Writing sentence is not a simple task. Yet, it is found many times that even students of latest semesters are unable to compose good writing text due to their inability in producing good sentences. It is an unfortunate because ability in writing good sentences is the fundamental for the next level of writing. The failure of senior students to make good sentences triggers questions on what materials to focus on and how to conduct teaching and learning in the writing and grammar classes. In line with those, this study tries to reveal the errors freshmen students usually make in writing sentences. It is expected that the result of this study helps lecturers to choose appropriate materials and teaching techniques. The results of this study show that most errors are found in terms of grammar, mechanic, logic, and spelling. Hence, it is suggested that freshmen practice sentence writing more to practice the grammar rules, spelling, and mechanic as well as to sharpen their ability in building logical sentences.
