Abstract

This research investigates the correlation between the utilization of digital flashcards on the Quizlet platform and the Mastery of English vocabulary among elementary school students. The study focused on thirty-fifth-grade students enrolled at Elementary School 6 in Aceh Barat Daya, selected through purposive sampling to ensure relevance to the research objectives. To gather the required data, researchers employed two instruments: a vocabulary test designed to assess students' Mastery of English vocabulary, and a questionnaire developed to measure the extent of Quizlet usage among participants. Before performing statistical analysis, the data were first tested to confirm that the assumptions of normality and linearity were met. Once these conditions were satisfied, the Pearson product-moment correlation technique was applied to analyze the relationship between the two variables. The findings revealed a strong and statistically significant positive correlation (r = 0.712, p < 0.001), suggesting that the more frequently students used Quizlet, the higher their vocabulary scores tended to be. It implies that the integration of digital flashcards through platforms like Quizlet can serve as an effective strategy to enhance vocabulary acquisition among learners at the elementary level. Consequently, the study supports the idea that incorporating digital learning tools into classroom instruction can contribute meaningfully to language learning outcomes, particularly in vocabulary development.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of the storytelling technique on the English-speaking skills of elementary school students. A purposive sampling method was used to select 29 fifth-grade students each from two classes: Class 5A served as the experimental group, and Class 5B as the control group. The experimental class was taught using the storytelling technique, while the control class received conventional instruction. A pre-test and post-test design was employed to assess students’ speaking abilities, focusing on pronunciation and vocabulary. Data were collected through an oral test consisting of five descriptive questions. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking performance. The average pre-test score in the experimental group was 23.67, which increased to 66.40 in the post-test, while the control group’s post-test score averaged 57.22. A t-test analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (t = 2.26 > tₜₐᵦₗₑ = 1.673). These findings suggest that the storytelling technique is effective in enhancing elementary students’ English-speaking abilities, particularly in pronunciation and vocabulary development.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial component in English as a Foreign Language learning, as it directly influences students’ ability to listen, speak, read, and write effectively. However, many junior high school students demonstrate low motivation when learning vocabulary through conventional, lecture-based methods. This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of using crossword puzzles as a medium for learning English vocabulary and its impact on their learning motivation. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving seventh-grade students from MTsN 3 Aceh Barat Daya. One class of 30 students was purposively selected as the sample. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1994) interactive model. The findings reveal that crossword puzzles significantly increased students’ motivation, engagement, and vocabulary retention. Students reported enjoying the challenge and collaborating actively with peers, while observations showed high levels of participation and persistence in completing the tasks. The study concludes that crossword puzzles provide a simple, flexible, and effective strategy for fostering emotional, cognitive, and social engagement in vocabulary learning, and they can be adapted for other foreign language contexts to address low learning motivation

Abstract

Slang has become an essential feature of communication in online gaming, allowing players to exchange information quickly and efficiently during gameplay. However, studies examining the linguistic characteristics of slang in Mobile Legends chat remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify, classify, and analyze the frequency of slang words used by players in the chat feature of Mobile Legends. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected from chat interactions in nine Mobile Legends matches conducted between April 13 and May 21, 2026, using observation and documentation techniques through screenshots of in-game conversations. The data were analyzed by classifying the slang words into four categories based on the theoretical framework utilized in this study: acronyms, abbreviations, clippings, and game-specific slang. The findings identified a total of 77 slang words, consisting of 35 acronyms, 27 game-specific slang terms, 10 clippings, and 5 abbreviations. Acronyms were the most frequently used type because they enabled players to communicate rapidly in a fast-paced gaming environment, while game-specific slang reflected players’ shared understanding of game mechanics and strategies. The findings indicate that slang functions not only as an efficient communication tool but also as a linguistic marker of identity within the Mobile Legends gaming community. This study contributes to sociolinguistic research by providing empirical evidence of the use and variation of slang in online gaming communication.

Abstract

Meskipun bagian Structure pada TOEFL memberikan tantangan yang signifikan bagi pembelajar EFL (English as a Foreign Language), masih sedikit penelitian yang mengeksplorasi bagaimana keterbatasan linguistik dan faktor psikologis saling berinteraksi selama pelaksanaan tes dalam konteks perguruan tinggi di daerah. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kesulitan utama, faktor-faktor penyebab, strategi pengerjaan tes, serta solusi yang direkomendasikan di antara mahasiswa semester delapan Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di STKIP Muhammadiyah Aceh Barat Daya. Menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, wawancara terstruktur dilakukan terhadap 15 partisipan yang dipilih secara purposive dengan nilai di bawah 68 pada bagian Structure TOEFL. Data dianalisis secara tematik menggunakan NVivo 12 Pro. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa paling kesulitan dalam subject–verb agreement, tenses, kata sambung (conjunctions), determinan (determiners), dan klausa kompleks. Kesulitan-kesulitan ini diperparah oleh keterbatasan kosakata, kurangnya latihan, keterbatasan waktu, dan kecemasan saat tes, yang menyebabkan mahasiswa mengandalkan strategi reaktif seperti scanning dan menebak. Untuk mengatasi hambatan tersebut, para partisipan menekankan perlunya latihan mandiri di samping dukungan dari pihak institusi. Secara praktis, penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya bertransisi dari hafalan tata bahasa secara acak (rote memorization) menuju pengajaran yang berorientasi pada strategi, latihan TOEFL diagnostik, serta pelatihan manajemen waktu di dalam kurikulum universitas.

Abstract

This study assessed Webtoon's efficacy as a digital teaching tool for raising eighth-grade students' reading comprehension at SMPN Unggul Tunas Nusa. Using a quasi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test, a quantitative research approach was used within a single group. Thirty‑five eighth‑grade students were purposively sampled as participants. The study was conducted across six meetings, comprising a pre‑test, four treatment sessions that used Webtoon based narrative texts, and a post‑test. The performance of the students was evaluated using a 20-item reading comprehension test with multiple choices both before and after the educational intervention. A Shapiro–Wilk normality test and a Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyse the collected data because the data were not normally distributed. The findings demonstrated a considerable reading comprehension improvement following the use of Webtoon, with an average score rising significantly from 76.00 to 96.86 between the pre-test and post-test. Furthermore, The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test analysis yielded statistically significant results differences between the two sets of scores (Z = –5.212, p < 0.05). The effect size calculation (r = 0.881) also reflected a strong practical effect. Overall, the findings supported the effectiveness using Webtoon as an online teaching resource designed to enhance pupils' reading comprehension and suggested its integration into English language teaching to facilitate more interactive and engaging reading instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the experiences of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Jeumpa in learning English vocabulary through visual video media, focusing on their impressions, understanding, and challenges. The study is grounded in Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, which suggests that combining verbal and visual information enhances meaningful learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten purposively selected seventh-grade students and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12. The findings revealed one major theme, students' experiences of learning vocabulary through visual video media, with three subthemes: positive impressions, improved understanding, and learning challenges. Students generally perceived visual videos as enjoyable and motivating, helping them improve vocabulary retention, pronunciation, and comprehension. They also reported that the combination of images and audio made new vocabulary easier to understand and remember. However, they encountered challenges, including unfamiliar vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, and videos that were too long or too fast. The study concludes that visual video media can effectively support English vocabulary learning when accompanied by appropriate video selection, suitable pacing, and teacher guidance. The findings also support Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and provide practical implications for English teachers.
