Abstract

This study investigated the use of dicto-comp in minimizing errors in students’ writing. The study concerned the type of errors frequently made by the students after the implementation of dicto-comp and the effectiveness of dicto-comp in reducing the students’ errors in writing. The study used the quantitative approach using the quasi-experimental research design. The instrument of the study was writing tests. The study took place at a senior high school in Banda Aceh, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Findings showed that after the implementation of dicto-comp, the students frequently made grammatical errors at 46.42% and mechanical errors at 40.66%.  Further, the t-test results showed that t-test = 2.12 and t-table = 1.70. This indicated that t-test score was higher than  t-table, and thus,  the  alternative  hypothesis  (Ha)  was  accepted  and  the  null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that dicto-comp decreased the errors in the students’ writing. It is suggested that teachers of English apply dicto-comp technique and/or combine it with another method/ strategy in teaching writing in classroom

Abstract

Writing is a critical skill in English language instruction, encompassing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This study focuses on the affective domain, particularly the self-concept, and its influence on students' writing performance. The research analyzes self-concept as reflected in students' writing performance within the English Department of BBG University. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The findings revealed that students' self-concept could be categorized into academic self-concept, social self-concept, and personal self-concept. Positive self-concept was associated with higher confidence and better writing performance, often linked to previous achievements, interest in writing, and supportive environments. Conversely, negative self-concept was characterized by lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, and blame on external factors. The study concludes that self-concept plays a significant role in shaping students' writing outcomes, highlighting the importance of fostering positive perceptions and using reflective tools like journals to enhance their performance. This research offers insights for educators to develop teaching strategies that address the affective needs of students, ultimately promoting confidence and skill development in academic writing.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine whether the use of the Spotify app improves students' listening skills. A pre-experimental design was used in this research. The subjects were 35 tenth-grade students of SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. The researcher conducted a pre-test before the treatment and a post-test to assess the results of the treatment. These tests were used as instruments for data collection. Furthermore, the data were analyzed and interpreted using quantitative procedures with SPSS version 25. The results indicate that the mean score of the post-test is higher than the mean score of the pre-test: the mean score of the post-test was 82.86, while the mean score of the pre-test was 62.43. This shows a difference in students' listening comprehension of English songs and narrative podcasts before and after being taught using the Spotify application. Additionally, based on the statistical analysis using a T-test with SPSS version 25 for Windows, the result of Thitung was -12.116, which is higher than the Ttable value of 1.995469 (-12.116 > 1.995469). This indicates that there is a significant difference in listening comprehension scores before and after being taught with the Spotify application at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. In conclusion, based on the results, the Spotify application is an effective tool for teaching listening comprehension to students at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh.

Abstract

There is a possibility that the Acehnese language and other locally used languages in Aceh Province could become threatened if the locals do not make efforts to maintain them. This study aims to explore teachers perspectives on maintaining the Acehnese mother tongue in schools. Employing a mixed-methods research design, data was collected through surveys and semi-structured interviews. The survey was distributed via Google Forms to 217 schoolteachers selected through voluntary sampling in Aceh, while interviews were conducted with seven teachers who willingly participated in the study. The results indicate that most teachers agree on maintaining the use of local languages in schools. However, language maintenance may face challenges e.g., globalization, family role, and youth attitude. Hence, teachers recommend that schools should actively promote the use of local languages by designating a special day for celebrating their use and incorporating the languages into local content lessons. This study intends to provide insightful recommendations for policy development regarding the maintenance of local languages in the school setting, particularly in Aceh. It also suggests educational implications, such as integrating these languages into formal schooling and developing educational resources to enhance their use in schools. Furthermore, future research could focus on documenting and preserving local languages, as well as implementing language immersion programs aimed at preserving local languages in Aceh.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to explore the perceptions of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers regarding the use of parliamentary debate as a classroom instruction in Aceh, a Sharia-governed province in Indonesia. It investigates whether the assumption of Islamic-based education restricts the use of debate as a tool to enhance critical thinking. This investigation aimed to fill the research gaps where exploration had not been conducted yet.Methodology - A quantitative descriptive survey design was employed to collect data from 252 EFL teachers across general and Islamic secondary schools in Aceh. A structured, closed-ended questionnaire (using a Likert scale) was administered, selected through stratified random sampling based on specific criteria. The instrument was developed to assess three matrices they are (1) the understanding, (2) acceptance, and (3) evaluation. The data was then analyzed for Mean and Standard Deviation.Findings - The findings indicated a positive attitude toward integrating debate into classroom teaching tools for either critical thinking or language proficiency development. However, aligning the debate topics with Aceh's socio-religious norms is necessary to avoid overly liberal or sensitive issues that may be perceived as offensive. Although there is a strong acceptance of debate in the classroom and an understanding of the debate's nature, the teachers' procedural understanding of the debate remains lacking.Contribution - These findings suggest that the adoption of parliamentary debate in Aceh's EFL classrooms necessitates adjustments, indicating that Western teaching models, such as debate, must be localized within Islamic educational frameworks.

Abstract

Animated video may support descriptive writing by making observable features available for noticing and lexicalization; however, evidence from a one-group design must be interpreted as within-group change rather than as a causal effect. This study investigated changes in tenth-grade students’ descriptive-writing performance after animated-video-supported instruction at SMAN 1 Lhoknga, Aceh Besar. A one-group pretest–posttest design involved 25 students from class X-3, selected purposively from a Grade X population of 240 students in the 2023/2024 academic year. Students completed an initial descriptive paragraph, four instructional sessions combining animated video, printed still images, vocabulary prompting, guided planning, and paragraph writing, and a comparable posttest task. Compositions were scored for content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. Because the paired difference scores departed from normality, the analysis used descriptive statistics, individual normalized gain, and an exact two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean increased from 46.44 (SD = 8.94) to 77.72 (SD = 4.95), a gain of 31.28 points; all 25 students obtained higher posttest scores. Mean normalized gain was 57.08% (SD = 11.53), with values from 26.67% to 76.79%. The paired comparison was significant, W = 0, exact p < .001, and the rank-biserial correlation was 1.00, indicating that every observed difference favored the posttest. The findings provide strong evidence of substantial improvement within this class, but the lack of a comparison group, purposive sampling, short duration, and undocumented scoring reliability preclude attributing the gain to animated video alone. Animated video is therefore best understood as one component of a scaffolded writing sequence that also requires explicit language instruction, practice, and feedback.
