Abstract

This research was motivated by initial observations which showed low student learning outcomes, which can be seen based on the average score on exam results, namely 60. The average score is still below the minimum completeness criteria (MCC) set by the school, namely 67, in English subjects. This shows that student learning outcomes in English learning are still low. This research aims to implement inquiry learning strategies in improving students' thinking skills and improving listening skills in English at SMP Negeri 6 Gunungsitoli. This research focuses on finding out the teaching methods used by teachers to improve students' thinking skills, implementation, assessment in learning with research results obtained through student observations in learning activities, questions to improve one of the students' competencies in listening skills, and the researcher's field notes. while carrying out research. The informants for this research were class 8, totaling 7 people. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The results obtained from this research include: 1). Implementation of the learning process using the inquiry method. 2). Observation results showing improvement from the first cycle to the second cycle at the second meeting. 3). Implementation of listening tests for students makes students like learning English and through MCC. The average value presentation obtained is 90%. This shows an increase from cycles I and II student learning motivation through implementing the inquiry learning model in the When I was a child material with an average score of 90% in the very high category. The application of the inquiry learning model can increase students' activeness in learning, improve students' thinking abilities, and increase the completeness of learning outcomes.

Abstract

Many EFL university students continue to experience difficulties in formal academic speaking, particularly in organizing ideas coherently and delivering presentations confidently, indicating a gap between general speaking ability and discourse-oriented communicative competence. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing formal academic speaking performance among EFL university students. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group involving two intact classes of fourth-semester students in an English Education program. The experimental group received instruction through Problem-Based Learning, whereas the control group was taught using a conventional teacher-centered method. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test oral presentations assessed using a standardized speaking rubric covering fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, coherence, and confidence. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including independent samples t-tests, effect size analysis (Cohen's d), and gain score analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores than the control group (p < .001). The largest improvements were observed in coherence and confidence, indicating that PBL effectively supports students in organizing ideas systematically and delivering academic presentations more confidently. The findings suggest that PBL contributes not only to the improvement of academic speaking performance but also to the development of discourse competence and affective readiness in EFL learning. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of Problem-Based Learning into EFL speaking instruction to enhance formal academic speaking competence in higher education.

Abstract

The goal of the study was to determine whether the Possible Sentences Strategy had a substantial impact on eighth-graders ability to master vocabulary. A quasi-experimental design was used for the study. There were 82 pupils in the eighth population of the study. Then, using the Cluster Sampling Technique, the researcher chose the study's sample, which included 60 pupils. The researcher conducted pre-tests in the control and experimental groups before beginning therapy. The control group's mean score was 56.50 with a L count of 0.1269, while the experimental group's mean score was 51 with a L count of 0.1403 and a L table of 0.16. As a result, the pre-test results for the experimental group and control group were reported as having a Normal Distribution. The next step was to look at uniformity. F table = 1.86 and F count = 1.09, according to pre-test computation. A homogenous pre-test result was reported. In both the control and experimental groups, the researcher conducted a post-test after the therapy. The experimental group's mean score was 80.83 while the control group's mean score was 64 with a L count of 0.1032 and a L table of 0.1545. The post-test findings of the control and experimental groups were thus reported as having a Normal Distribution. The next step was to look at uniformity. F count = 1.45 and F table = 1.86 were calculated based on the post-test results. A homogenous post-test result was reported. A hypothesis test was then conducted by the researcher. Table was obtained as follows: t1/2(dk) = t0.025(72) = -2.002; t count = 4.98. It means that t count (4.98) did not exist between interval -2.002 to 2.002 (-2.002 ≤ t ≤ 2.002). So, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of the Possible Sentences Strategy on the students’ ability to Mastering Vocabulary.
