To determine the content validity and reliability the researcher compares English test with the syllabus and lesson plan and students’ test scores. This study used a descriptive qualitative method by using document analysis in the form of end- semester (summative test) and an interview with the teacher. This research collected data from two English teachers who teach at the second level at SMA NEGERI 13 MBD and SMA NEGERI 9 MBD. The results show that there are 20 questions of multiple choice about Reading, and from the questions, the researcher found that 17 questions were categorized by content validity, namely according to the syllabus and lesson plan. While 3 questions were categorized as not by the content validity. Based on the students’ scores from the reading tests, the researcher found that the same tests given to the different students in the second level and at different times, the scores were reliable, than can be said the reading tests made by the teachers were valid and reliable. From the results of the interview, it can be concluded that the teachers made a grid of questions before making the test. Tests made by the teachers must be related to the syllabus and lesson plan, and according to the level of student ability. This shows that most of the English tests are made by the teachers according to content validity and reliability.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between students' motivation and English vocabulary mastery among third-grade students at MIT Daarun Na'im Ambon. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, the study involved 36 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using Gardner's Attitude/Motivation Test Battery questionnaire and vocabulary test scores. The results revealed that students demonstrated moderate motivation levels (mean = 52.92) and good vocabulary mastery (mean = 79.75). Spearman correlation analysis showed a very weak positive correlation (r = 0.133, p > 0.05) between motivation and vocabulary mastery, indicating no significant relationship between these variables. This finding challenges common beliefs about the direct relationship between motivation and language learning outcomes in young learners, particularly in Indonesian Islamic elementary schools. The study suggests that vocabulary learning in young students may depend on various factors beyond motivation, such as teaching methods and classroom environment. These insights can help teachers develop better vocabulary teaching strategies in similar school settings.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness and broad adoption of online instruction for English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Considering the difficulties that instructors and students encounter in this kind of instruction, the study uses an extensive literature review approach. The goal is to underscore the positive impact of online learning on the sustainability of education and identify key factors that contribute to its effectiveness. Drawing literature from academic databases, journals, books, and reputable online platforms, the collection process is guided by specific terms like "EFL" and "Online Learning." Inclusion criteria target studies addressing the positive impacts and challenges of online learning in EFL. Thematic coding is applied to organize the literature into sections covering positive impacts, challenges, and influencing factors. Thematic analysis identifies common themes, while a comparative analysis emphasizes differences and similarities across studies, ensuring a cohesive exploration of the topic. The research suggests potential avenues for future studies to further enrich our understanding of online learning in the EFL context.
