Abstract

Standardized evaluations are a widely used tool in education and assessment. These evaluations are carefully designed to present uniform questions and instructions to all participants, ensuring consistent measurement of a student’s knowledge or skills in a specific area. They play a crucial role in assessing and enhancing students’ proficiency in the English language. Hence The purpose of this study is to examine the washback effect of standardized testing in the English language subject. The researcher employed a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing a sample of 10 eighth-semester students majoring in English and 3 lecturers at Hamzanwadi University. The sampling technique used was random sampling, while data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study reveal that standardized tests have a significant impact on the teaching and learning process. These tests often create pressure for both students and teachers, which can lead to stress and anxiety during examinations. Additionally, they can inhibit creativity in teaching methods and result in students struggling to understand the material. Consequently, students may become focused solely on passing exams rather than genuinely comprehending the subject matter. Further elaboration on these points is discussed in detail in the following discussion section

And the results of the hypothesis test show that the hypothesis that has been formulated is accepted (Ho is accepted, while Ha is rejected) which means there is a significant difference in the use of image media in improving students' speaking skills in the English learning outcomes of Abbasyiah NW Jerua Middle School students.

Abstract

This study investigates the types of self-talk and students' perceptions of the impact of using self-talk in building their English-speaking skills. By using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observations with six second-semester students of the English language education program at Universitas Hamzanwadi. The findings reveal that students used two types of self-talk strategies to build their English-speaking skills, which are instructional self-talk and motivational self-talk. Students viewed self-talk as an effective strategy to support technical preparation for speaking, reduce anxiety, and increase self-confidence. The benefits of using self-talk include reduced anxiety and nervousness, increased confidence, motivation, fluency, and skills, as well as creating space for self-practice. Thus, it can be concluded that self-talk is proven to be a solution for regulating affective and cognitive aspects in order to build English speaking skills.

After PBL was implemented, students' speaking abilities significantly improved, as indicated by the paired sample t-test's significance score (p-value) of 0.000 < 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of Problem-Based Learning has a positive and significant effect on improving the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at MTs NWDI PangsorGunung.
