Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the English-speaking skills of 5th-semester Class B students enrolled in the English Education Study Program at the University of Nias. The main objective is to assess students’ speaking proficiency using a standardized speaking test assessment rubric and to classify their performance into various levels of competence. The evaluation focuses on determining the mean score, mode, and categorization of students’ speaking abilities to provide a clearer understanding of their proficiency distribution. A quantitative research method was employed in this study, involving 41 students as research participants. Data collection was conducted through a structured English-speaking test administered in an interview format. The test assessed several components of speaking competence, including fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and coherence. The results were then analysed statistically to determine overall performance trends. The analysis revealed a diverse range of speaking proficiency among the students. Out of the 41 participants, 5 students (12.2%) demonstrated very good speaking skills, 10 students (24.4%) were categorized as good, 25 students (61.0%) were identified as having sufficient proficiency, while only 1 student (2.4%) was categorized as insufficient. The mean score indicated a moderate level of overall proficiency among the class, while the mode score aligned with the “sufficient” category, indicating that this was the most common level among the group. The study concludes that while a majority of students possess adequate speaking skills, there remains significant room for improvement. These findings underscore the importance of differentiated instruction and targeted speaking activities to enhance language competence. Educators are encouraged to implement tailored pedagogical strategies that address the specific needs of learners across all proficiency levels. The results of this study provide valuable insights for curriculum developers and instructors seeking to improve spoken English instruction within similar academic contexts.

Abstract

This study explored the effectiveness of Wordwall Media in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Sitoluori through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted over two cycles. The findings revealed a marked improvement in vocabulary, assessed across three domains: spoken, written, and meaning. Initial pre-test scores showed averages of 52.72 (spoken), 29.63 (written), and 28.63 (meaning). In Cycle I, scores rose to 73.63 (spoken), 75 (written), and 49.09 (meaning), and further improved in Cycle II to 84.09 (spoken), 86.81 (written), and 84.09 (meaning). The use of Wordwall Media significantly supported vocabulary development by offering interactive and visually engaging content, such as animations and images, which enhanced student comprehension and motivation. The study concludes that integrating Wordwall Media into English instruction effectively addresses students’ vocabulary challenges. Teachers are encouraged to adopt this tool consistently to foster a more dynamic and effective learning environment.
