Abstract

The mini research aims to assist students of 2nd semester at Electronic Department of PNJ to improve their English-speaking skills. Since the Project-Based Learning has been put into the curriculum, every subject must be connected to it. The study was conducted through the following stages: observation, coaching and action. It involved 44 students of the 2nd semester and a teacher as a facilitator. The students were asked to do final project based on Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). The results were mini videos which were upload in social media (YouTube). The impact of this activity was significant. Students’ score in speaking skills were improved 75%. It means that project based on CALL motivates students and “force” students to speak actively.

Abstract

Mobile learning has become increasingly prevalent in the education sector as smartphones are now part of everyday life. This study focuses on designing a mobile application to enhance the reading comprehension skills of students at Politeknik Negeri Jakarta (PNJ). Mobile learning offers students the flexibility to access learning materials anytime and anywhere, overcoming the limitations of classroom teaching hours. The research aims to develop a prototype of a Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) application for Android smartphones, specifically tailored to assist students in preparing for the reading comprehension section of the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) test. The methodology involves analyzing the needs of PNJ students through surveys and interviews to identify their challenges in learning English, particularly in reading comprehension. Based on the findings, a prototype application was designed using iterative development processes, integrating features such as interactive reading exercises, real-time feedback, and progress tracking. The prototype was tested with final-year students to evaluate its effectiveness. The results indicate that the application significantly improves students' reading comprehension skills, as evidenced by higher practice scores and positive user feedback. The findings highlight the potential of MALL in bridging the gap in practice opportunities and limited classroom learning time.This research recommends further development of the application to include other sections of the TOEIC test, such as listening comprehension, and the integration of gamified features to enhance user engagement. Additionally, collaboration with vocational educators is suggested to ensure the content aligns with industry needs and language proficiency standards.
