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

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of using image media on students' learning and English speaking skills. This research was carried out at Abbasyiah NW Jerua Middle School, West Sakra District, East Lombok Regency. This research uses quantitative research, applying pre-experimental research to determine the speaking abilities of Abbasyiah NW Jerua Middle School students. To determine students' abilities, researchers used pre and post-tests. The test aims to measure students' ability to speak before and after being given treatment. The research results show an increase in student learning outcomes through the use of image media. This can be seen from the increase in pretest-posttest results given before and after treatment. From the results of the pretest and posttest carried out on students, the average score was 46.39 for the pretest and 91.39 for the posttest. 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.

Abstract

Language learning in secondary education increasingly integrates technology to address persistent challenges in students’ English proficiency, particularly vocabulary mastery. Vocabulary plays a crucial role in supporting all language skills, and limited lexical knowledge often hinders students’ ability to communicate effectively. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMPN 3 Sikur. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest and post-test design. The participants consisted of 20 students from class VIII B, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 40-item multiple-choice vocabulary test administered before and after the treatment. The treatment involved regular use of the Duolingo application over a specified instructional period. The instrument demonstrated high reliability, with a KR-20 coefficient of 0.82. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22, including descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and a paired samples t-test. The results revealed a substantial increase in students’ mean vocabulary scores, from 42.25 on the pre-test to 73.00 on the post-test. The paired samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of Duolingo in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. These findings suggest that Duolingo, as a mobileassisted language learning tool, can serve as an effective supplementary medium for vocabulary instruction. The study provides pedagogical implications for integrating gamified mobile applications into English language teaching to support learner engagement and vocabulary development.
