Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze the English language learning needs of non-English major students, specifically those studying economics. Utilizing a questionnaire distributed among students, the findings reveal that a significant majority (80%) perceive their English proficiency as beginner level, highlighting an urgent need for foundational language skills relevant to their field of study. The results indicate a strong preference for practical learning materials, particularly those related to economics, such as reading economic materials (70.6%), speaking skills with clients (76.5%), and mastering vocabulary related to economics (65.7%). Furthermore, the analysis highlights a gap between the current knowledge and the proficiency required for academic and professional contexts. Students expressed a desire to engage in learning activities that promote interaction and collaboration, emphasizing the importance of developing a curriculum tailored to their specific needs. This study underscores the necessity of implementing a needs-based curriculum that incorporates active learning strategies, thereby enhancing students' English language skills and preparing them for future workplace challenges in the field of economics.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Contextual Learning Approach in enhancing students’ vocabulary retention at SMP Negeri 10 Parepare. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test. The sample consisted of 30 eighth-grade students selected through random sampling. The instruments used in this study were vocabulary tests administered in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-test to examine the effectiveness of the treatment. The results of the study showed that the mean score of the students increased from 57.80 in the pre-test to 77.30 in the post-test, and further increased to 89.83 in the delayed post-test. The inferential analysis revealed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (t = -5.215, p < 0.05). In addition, the delayed post-test results indicated that students were able to retain the vocabulary learned during the treatment period. Therefore, the findings suggest that the Contextual Learning Approach may contribute to improving students’ vocabulary achievement and retention.
