Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using narrative texts to enhance student motivation and reading comprehension in English learning among XI IPA 1 students at MAN 1 Barru during the 2023/2024 academic year. Employing a one-group pretest and post-test design, this quantitative research systematically collects and analyzes numerical data to measure student progress. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 69.00 in the pre-test to 87.00 in the post-test. Additionally, the number of students achieving the mastery threshold (≥75) rose from 16.0% (4 students) in the pre-test to 48.0% (12 students) in the post-test. Statistical analysis confirmed that this improvement was highly significant (p = 0.000). These results indicate that learning with narrative texts effectively enhances students' reading comprehension skills, contributing to their overall English language proficiency. The findings of this study confirm that the implementation of narrative texts in reading instruction significantly improves students’ comprehension abilities. The substantial increase in post-test scores suggests that narrative texts can serve as an effective pedagogical approach to foster motivation and engagement in reading activities. Educators are encouraged to integrate narrative texts into English language instruction to optimize student learning outcomes.

Abstract

The integration of technology into education is increasingly vital, yet evidence regarding its effectiveness in specific learning contexts remains limited. This study addresses that gap by examining the impact of Moodle as a Learning Management System (LMS) on students’ English learning outcomes in a boarding school setting. A quasi-experimental pretest–post-test design was employed with 70 students divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught through Moodle LMS, while the control group received instruction via conventional lectures. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed improvement in both groups, but the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores, as confirmed by t-test analyses (p < 0.01). These findings demonstrate that Moodle LMS not only enhances academic performance but also promotes greater engagement, active participation, and access to structured learning resources. The study underscores the pedagogical potential of Moodle, particularly within boarding school environments, where students benefit from continuous, technology-supported interaction. The research contributes to growing evidence on the role of LMS platforms in fostering 21st-century learning and recommends their broader implementation to strengthen English language instruction and digital literacy skills.
