Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the EXCHIL Model (Experience-Based Contextual Hybrid Learning) in improving the speaking skills of students in the English Language Education Study Program at Institut Prima Bangsa. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design with a descriptive approach, the study involved 52 students. Quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires and pre-test–post-test scores, while qualitative data were collected from observations and in-depth interviews with three students. The main challenges identified were limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, and speaking anxiety. Results showed a substantial improvement in students’ speaking performance, with the average pre-test score of 66.2 to 82.4 in the post-test. The score distribution also shifted positively, as more students achieved scores in the 75–85 range, while fewer scored below 70. Qualitative findings revealed enhanced fluency, confidence, and willingness to speak after the implementation of the model. These findings suggest that integrating experiential, contextual, and hybrid elements can foster student-centered language learning adaptable to diverse digital environments. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the EXCHIL Model for advancing 21st-century EFL pedagogy.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Beelinguapp application in improving EFL students' reading comprehension of narrative texts at SMKN I Cirebon and to determine the benefits of implementing this technology in the learning process. English language skills are crucial both globally and within the Indonesian education system. EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners often struggle with reading comprehension, a critical skill that involves various cognitive processes and understanding the meaning of texts. Narrative texts, which are engaging and rich in moral values, are favored by students. This research use a quantitative approach was employed using an experimental method with a pretest-posttest design and questionnaires. The study sample consisted of 60 students from Class X TEI 1 - TEI 4, selected through random sampling. Data collection techniques included a pretest, posttest, and questionnaire administered to the experimental group. The results indicated a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with a t-value of 8.029, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.022 (Sig. 2-Tailed = 0.000 < 0.05). Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, confirming that Beelinguapp positively and significantly impacts reading comprehension of narrative texts. Additionally, student feedback from questionnaires revealed cognitive improvements in learning outcomes, particularly in reading comprehension, after the application of the Beelinguapp in the learning process.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using the Stimuler application and vocabulary mastery on speaking skills at vocational high schools in Cirebon. A quantitative method with a survey design was employed, involving 149 tenth-grade students from SMK Kartika XIX Kota Cirebon and SMK Ponpes Manbaul Ulum in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instruments consisted of a Stimuler usage questionnaire, a vocabulary test, and a speaking test. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the Stimuler application had a significant effect on speaking skills (t = 12.256, p < 0.05), as did vocabulary mastery (t = 3.839, p < 0.05). The F-test further indicated that both variables simultaneously had a significant effect (F = 84.961, p < 0.05), contributing 53.8% to the variance in speaking skills (R² = 0.538), while the remaining 46.2% was influenced by other factors beyond this study. These results suggest that integrating the AI-based Stimuler application with vocabulary mastery is effective in enhancing vocational students’ speaking proficiency and creating a more interactive and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore students' perceptions of the use of Character AI in improving English speaking skills and to identify the limitations or problems encountered by students when practicing speaking with this technology. This study used a qualitative descriptive method conducted in the English Education Study Program at the Prima Bangsa Institute in Cirebon. The participants were eighth-semester students who had used Character AI. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and speaking test. The results of the study show that students have a positive perception of the use of Character AI because it helps improve fluency, pronunciation, and confidence, while also providing more opportunities for practice. However, there are also problems such as technical issues, limited response accuracy, and a lack of natural communication nuances compared to direct interaction. In conclusion, this study confirms that Character AI has great potential as an innovative learning medium for improving speaking skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Audio-Lingual Repetition Drills (ALRD) in improving speaking and listening skills of EFL learners. A quantitative design was conducted with 60 vocational high school students in West Java, Indonesia, using speaking and listening tests along with questionnaires. Data were analyzed through IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The speaking test, assessed by an analytic rubric, recorded an average score of 79.53, while the listening test, consisting of 20 multiple-choice items, showed an average of 77.85. Both results fall into the “good” category, with improvements especially in fluency, pronunciation, and comprehension. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.691, p < 0.05) was found between speaking and listening, showing that improvement in one skill supported gains in the other. Students also indicated that repetition drills increased their confidence and focus. This study highlights the practical application of ALRD in English teaching, particularly in vocational schools, and provides new evidence of its integrated effect on both speaking and listening skills

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of learning motivation and the use of WordWall media on vocabulary enhancement among EFL learners. Conducted at SMPN 2 Jatiwangi and SMPN 2 Dawuan, the research involved 224 students who had experience using WordWall in English lessons. Employing a quantitative method with a survey design, data were collected through questionnaires and vocabulary tests. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows a value of 0.648, indicating that 64.8% of students’ vocabulary enhancement can be explained by the combined influence of learning motivation and WordWall media. The remaining 35.2% is influenced by other factors not covered in this study. These results suggest that while digital media like WordWall plays an important role in engaging students, intrinsic factors such as motivation remain the dominant contributor to vocabulary development. This highlights the importance of integrating psychological and technological aspects in EFL learning to foster more effective outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of English in the context of multilingual classrooms at BPK Plus Penabur Cirebon Junior High School. The focus of the study is on student interaction patterns, factors that influence the use of English, and the linguistic dynamics that are formed in the learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a mini-ethnographic design. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, categorization, and interpretation to find patterns of language use in classroom interactions. The results show that the use of English is influenced by students' linguistic backgrounds, social contexts, and teachers' pedagogical strategies. Translanguaging practices emerged as the dominant communication strategy that aided conceptual understanding and increased student participation. These findings are relevant for the development of English language learning strategies in multilingual environments, the formulation of school language policies, and the strengthening of EFL curricula. This study contributes new insights into understanding the practice of English language use at the junior high school level through a mini-ethnographic approach, which has rarely been used in the Indonesian context.
