Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the shadowing technique in improving the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compared two groups: an experimental group that received listening instruction through shadowing and a control group that received conventional instruction. Assessment tools consisted of pre- and post-tests with multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank items designed to evaluate micro and macro listening skills. The findings revealed substantial improvement in the listening performance of the experimental group after the intervention. Their mean score increased significantly from 43.33 on the pretest to 84.17 on the posttest. In contrast, the control group showed only a marginal increase, from 27.59 to 39.66. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significance value of 0.000, confirming a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Based on this result, the null hypothesis was rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, it can be concluded that the shadowing technique significantly improves the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using the "Two Truths and A Lie" game in improving the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Labschool Untad Palu. This research was motivated by the students' persistent challenges, including low motivation and speaking anxiety, often exacerbated by non-interactive teaching methods. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group, the study involved a sample of 45 students. Data analysis using SPSS confirmed that the post-test scores of the experimental group followed a normal distribution, justifying the use of parametric tests. The mean scores showed a substantial increase in the experimental group, rising from 9.09 to 15.95, significantly higher than the control group’s increase (from 10.40 to 14.45). This difference was confirmed as statistically significant by the paired sample t-test, supporting the hypothesis. The findings conclusively demonstrate that the "Two Truths and A Lie" game is significantly effective in boosting students' confidence, improving fluency, and developing critical thinking skills, providing empirical insight into the value of incorporating fun and interactive teaching methods.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of English language podcasts in enhancing the listening skills of grade XI students at SMA Negeri 2 Palu. The research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. A total of 34 students from class XI E participated as the sample. To assess students’ initial listening proficiency, a pre-test was administered prior to the treatment. The treatment consisted of listening sessions using selected English podcasts from the YouTube channel “Easy English.” Following the treatment, a post-test was conducted to measure any improvements in students’ listening comprehension. The results indicated a significant increase in the average scores, rising from 64.41 in the pre-test to 81.91 in the post-test. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two sets of scores. These findings suggest that English podcasts are effective learning tools for developing students’ listening skills. Their authentic and engaging nature, along with their flexible accessibility, makes podcasts a valuable supplement in English language instruction, particularly in fostering listening comprehension.

Abstract

Listening cannot be underestimated, because listening is an important aspect of communication. In life if someone communicates with others, they must understand what the speaker says in writing and during conversation. This study's objective was to understand how animated videos can enhance individuals' capacity for learning. Pre-tests and post-tests were part of this study's single-group pre-experimental design. The sample was chosen using purposeful sampling. There were seven classes for eighth-grade students. It was from class VIIIA to VIIIG. The total population of class VIII was 220 students. The class selected as the Sample used in this study was class VIIIB, which had 29 students. Test instruments were utilized in this study to gather the score in pre-test and post-test. Twenty fill-in-the-blank and matching questions made up the test. To determine whether using animated video content enhanced students' listening skills, a paired sample t-test was used in the data analysis. The tests outcomes were compared in this investigation. Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) and H0 (Null Hypothesis) were hypotheses in this investigation. The average scores differed significantly, the study's findings. 56.96 was the pre-test score, while the post-test score was 69.96. The significance level was marginally below 0.05, as indicated by the paired sample t-test statistical analysis results, which were significant (two tails) at 0.030. In the end, Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. Therefore, watching animated films helps children improve their ability to interact with others.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most essential skills in English as a Foreign Language learning; however, many students still experience difficulties in developing this skill. This study aims to identify the factors inhibiting English speaking skills among students of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University. This research employed a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to approximately 50 third-semester students using a Likert scale, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with six selected participants. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and the qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students’ speaking difficulties are influenced by both linguistic and psychological factors. Vocabulary limitation was identified as the most dominant factor. In addition, psychological factors such as anxiety and fear of making mistakes reduced students’ confidence and willingness to speak. In contrast, environmental factors, particularly peer support, were not considered significant barriers but rather facilitated speaking development. In conclusion, speaking difficulties result from the interaction of multiple factors; therefore, improving speaking skills requires an integrated approach that enhances vocabulary mastery, increases practice opportunities, and fosters a supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing the speaking abilities of seventh-grade students at SMP Kristen BK Palu. It focuses on common challenges experienced by Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in terms of fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility in oral communication. The research applied a quasi-experimental method using a non-equivalent control group pre-test–post-test design. The population included all seventh-grade students in the 2025/2026 academic year, with two existing classes selected as samples: Class 7A as the experimental group and Class 7B as the control group. The experimental group was taught using the PBL approach, while the control group received conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were gathered through speaking tests conducted before and after the treatment period. Students’ performances were assessed using an analytical rubric measuring fluency, accuracy, and comprehensibility. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking scores, which increased from a mean of 4.50 in the pre-test to 10.60 in the post-test. Meanwhile, the control group showed no notable progress, maintaining a mean score of 4.65. The independent sample t-test yielded a calculated value of 14.55, exceeding the critical value of 2.005 at a 0.05 significance level (df = 54). These results indicate a statistically significant difference between the groups, confirming the positive impact of PBL. Overall, the study suggests that PBL fosters interactive, collaborative learning, promotes active engagement, and improves students’ confidence in speaking English.
