Abstract

This community service program was conducted at SMK Walisongo Jakarta with the goal of improving students' English listening skills through a mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) approach. The program was designed based on a needs analysis that identified key challenges in mastering listening skills among vocational students. The initiative contributed to students' professional development by enhancing their English listening proficiency, a skill crucial for effective communication in various professional settings. Furthermore, it introduced them to mobile-assisted learning, thereby helping them develop independent study habits using accessible technology. The program’s implementation included a pre-test, an introduction to the MALL concept, demonstrations of supporting applications, structured listening practice sessions, and a final post-test. The evaluation results showed a substantial improvement in students’ listening abilities, with the average score rising significantly from 66.56 on the pre-test to 95.78 on the post-test. This indicates that through a structured approach and the use of accessible mobile technology, the program successfully achieved its goal of improving English listening skills and preparing students for workplace communication challenges. In conclusion, integrating MALL can be an effective method for English language learning that aligns well with the demands of the global industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of role-play activities in enhancing vocabulary acquisition and communicative competence among language learners, within the framework of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). The research involved 16 EFL students who participated in role-play scenarios designed to simulate real-life interactions. Data were collected through role-play scripts, classroom observations, and reflective surveys to assess improvements in vocabulary use, pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. The findings reveal that role-play significantly enriches learners' vocabulary, enabling them to effectively use functional language in everyday contexts, such as asking for directions. Learners encountered at least 71 new vocabulary items and utilized 20 expressions for practical communication. Role-play also improved pronunciation and fluency by encouraging spontaneous dialogue and prioritizing communication over grammatical precision. This approach helped reduce anxiety and build learners' confidence in using English, as 90% of participants reported increased confidence in their language skills. The study underscores the pedagogical benefits of role-play in language education, highlighting its alignment with TBLT principles and its effectiveness in preparing learners for real-world communication. Future research should explore the long-term impact of role-play on language proficiency and its applicability across diverse learner demographics. This study contributes valuable insights into the use of role-play as a tool for language acquisition and communicative competence development.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of ChatGPT in enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' speaking skills. The primary aim is to explore whether integrating ChatGPT into language learning can effectively improve speaking proficiency. Using a controlled experimental design, participants were divided into treatment and control groups, with the treatment group utilizing ChatGPT for speaking practice. The results demonstrated significant improvements in speaking skills for the treatment group, with statistical analysis confirming the rejection of the null hypothesis. This study highlights the technical capabilities of ChatGPT in offering personalized, adaptive learning experiences, showcasing its potential in language education. The findings emphasize the importance of AI tools like ChatGPT in enhancing language learning outcomes. Furthermore, it calls for educator training to harness AI effectively in pedagogical strategies. Overall, the study affirms that ChatGPT is a powerful, accessible tool for improving speaking skills, offering scalable solutions in EFL education.

Abstract

The microlearning approach will be combined with the use of social media platforms, namely TikTok videos, in English language learning. Microlearning is a learner-centered approach that offers short, focused learning units with interactive multimedia accessible across multiple devices. Research using the microlearning approach aims to make English learning in the classroom more flexible and effective in delivering learning materials because it can convey content in the smallest parts for easy understanding. The study will use a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, filling out pre-tests and post-tests, and documentation. The results of study indicate that the dominant micro skills are speaking (43%), writing (24%), listening (18%), and reading (15%). On the other hand, the second pie chart reveals that macro skills mainly focus on speaking (68%), with a smaller percentage in writing (13%), listening (13%), and reading only (6%). Thus, by combining innovative approaches such as microlearning and leveraging the popularity of social media platforms, educators can create interactive and engaging learning experiences for learners. The combination of microlearning, social media platforms, and English language teaching can offer valuable opportunities for learners to improve their language skills in a fun and interactive way. As technology advances in education, implementing these approaches can result in a more effective and dynamic language learning experience.
