Abstract

This study investigated teachers’ perception of using tongue twisters in teaching phonology and listening in an EFL context. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through a semi-structured interview with an English teacher who had experience implementing tongue twisters in pronunciation and listening classes. The findings reveal that the teacher perceives tongue twisters as an effective tool for enhancing phonological awareness, improving articulation, and increasing students’ sensitivity to phonemic contrasts. The teacher also believes that tongue twisters support listening development by strengthening learners’ ability to discriminate minimal pairs, recognize stress and rhythm patterns, and attend to detailed sound differences. Despite these benefits, several challenges were identified, including students’ shyness, difficulties in selecting level-appropriate tongue twisters, limited class time, and learners’ tendency to prioritize speed over accuracy. Overall, the results indicate that tongue twisters serve as a motivating and practical strategy that links pronunciation and listening practice, although their success depends on careful planning and pedagogical adaptation. The study highlights the need for teacher training in pronunciation pedagogy and suggests integrating tongue twisters with other phonological and listening activities to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of using ChatGPT on students' writing skills, especially simple sentences in English. The background of this study is based on students' still low ability to write sentences with correct structure and grammar, especially in the use of Simple Present Tense. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the pretest-post-test control group design. The research sample consisted of two eighth grade classes at MTsS YMPI Tanjungbalai, namely class VIII-1 as the experimental class learning using ChatGPT and class VIII-2 as the control class learning using conventional methods, each consisting of 30 students. Data were collected through writing tests given before and after the treatment. The results of the analysis showed that the average post-test score of the experimental class was higher than the control class, and the t-test produced a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. This indicates a significant difference between the two groups. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of ChatGPT has a positive and significant effect on improving students' ability to write simple English sentences, especially in understanding the basic structure of Subject-Verb-Object and the application of Simple Present Tense.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis integrasi praktik penerjemahan dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris serta dampaknya terhadap kemampuan pedagogi guru. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi kelas, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan analisis dokumen pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik penerjemahan muncul secara konsisten pada tahap pendahuluan, inti, dan penutup pembelajaran, terutama untuk memperjelas instruksi dan menyederhanakan konsep sulit. Respon guru terhadap penerjemahan umumnya positif, karena strategi ini membantu meningkatkan pemahaman siswa dan mempercepat proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, praktik penerjemahan berdampak signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan pedagogi guru, khususnya dalam aspek scaffolding, manajemen kelas, serta kejelasan penyampaian materi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa penerjemahan bukan hanya strategi linguistik, tetapi juga pendekatan pedagogis yang dapat meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran serta menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan praktik pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dan penguatan kompetensi pedagogi guru di kelas EFL. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pelatihan guru dan perencanaan pembelajaran yang lebih sistematis untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan penerjemahan di kelas bahasa Inggris.
