Abstract

A common issue faced in the English study program is students' lack of understanding in listening, as evidenced by low scores in the listening section of the TOEFL test. Additionally, students often engage in activities requiring strong listening skills to comprehend speakers and interact effectively with others. To address this, researchers have chosen Spotify as a tool for enhancing listening skills due to its accessibility at any time and place. This study aimed to explore students' perceptions and development while using Spotify for listening practice. Utilizing qualitative methods and purposive sampling, as only a few students use Spotify, the findings revealed that most respondents strongly agreed or agreed that Spotify is an effective medium for improving their listening skills. Positive feedback from interview responses further supports the idea that Spotify is a suitable tool for listening practice. The study's results indicate that respondents have a positive perception of Spotify as a medium for listening practice, as it offers a wide variety of songs and podcasts across different genres. Respondents predominantly agreed that Spotify helps improve their English skills, particularly in listening and vocabulary, while also providing a comfortable and motivating environment for learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the correlation between students' interest and their English learning outcomes among grade XI students at SMAN 5 Mataram, as well as to identify the factors influencing students' interest in learning English. The significance of English language competency in a global society highlights the need to understand the variables affecting students' interest in learning. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines qualitative data from interviews with quantitative data from questionnaires and documentation of students' English grades. A total of 36 students from grade XI–7 were selected as the sample through simple random sampling. The results indicated that the majority of students (63.89%) had a moderate interest in studying English; however, 61.11% did not meet the minimum competency criteria in English language learning. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.511, p = 0.001 < 0.05) between students' interest and their English learning outcomes. Factors such as student experience, motivation, teaching methods, the learning environment, and the social environment were identified as influences on students' interest in learning. This study concludes that increasing student interest can significantly enhance their English learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of using retelling techniques on students’ vocabulary mastery among second-grade students at MAN Lombok Barat. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group that received instruction through the retelling technique and a control group that was taught using conventional methods. The population consisted of all second-grade students, while the sample included two classes selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in vocabulary mastery. The results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group’s vocabulary performance, with an average post-test score of 71.84, compared to the control group’s score of 62.08. The paired sample t-test analysis revealed a t-value of 3.583, which is higher than the critical t-table value of 2.069, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀). These findings align with previous studies by Mursilah (2016), Nursanti (2014), and Fadilaturrahmah (2022), which also reported that retelling techniques enhance students’ language skills, particularly vocabulary acquisition and comprehension. Moreover, this result supports the theoretical framework proposed by Idayani & Fitri (2021), who emphasized the effectiveness of retelling in creating a more interactive and student-centered learning environment. In conclusion, the retelling technique has a significant positive impact on students’ vocabulary mastery. Therefore, it is recommended for English teachers as an engaging and effective strategy to improve vocabulary learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and describe the correlation between students’ learning motivation and their reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Lombok Tengah in the academic year 2024/2025. This study employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The sample consisted of 39 students from the entire eleventh-grade population. Data were collected using questionnaires, reading tests, and interviews. Quantitative analysis using One-way ANOVA indicated a correlation between motivation levels (high, medium, low) and reading comprehension (p = 0.011< 0.05). Qualitative interviews supported the statistical findings by identifying intrinsic factors (to improve skill and knowledge, discover new vocab and feel satisfied, challenge, curiosity, interest, hobbies and trends) and extrinsic factors (academic needs, achievement grades, practical need, support from school and teacher) that influenced motivation.
