Abstract

Reading comprehension is a vital skill that students need to develop. However, the reality reveals that students still face difficulties in Reading Comprehension Tests. This study aims to identify the difficulties students encounter in Reading Comprehension tests and the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties. It adopts a qualitative approach and focuses on the 26 tenth graders of MA Ma’arif Miftahul Ulum Melirang as the subjects. To accomplish this, ten types of reading comprehension tests were administered to identify the students’ difficulties in reading comprehension tests. Then, students were provided with questionnaires to elicit their opinions on factors influencing their difficulties in reading comprehension tests. The results revealed that students struggle the most with the Free-Recall test. The Summary test came next as the second most challenging, followed by the gap-filling test, Ordering Tasks, and Editing Test. Additionally, the main scores achieved by students in these five tests fell below the 60-point mark with many students obtaining the lowest scores in them. Therefore, English teachers need to provide effective reading comprehension techniques, focusing on strategies to help students overcome challenges in understanding English texts.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence in education has revolutionized students' learning styles. This study explored EFL students' perspectives on how AI tools assist them in their academic performance. Eighty-two EFL students enrolled in the English Language Study Program at the University of Qomaruddin participated in the study. A survey method was adopted for this study through a series of questionnaires to collect feedback from the students. The result revealed that EFL students heavily rely on conversational AI tools like ChatGPT and machine translation. The study also highlighted the positive impact of AI on various aspects of language learning, including vocabulary acquisition, grammar proficiency, pronunciation practice, and academic writing refinement. However, the study identified concerns regarding the potential barriers to AI integration, such as overreliance on technology, the risk of replacing human teachers, and the need for enhanced digital literacy skills

Abstract

Writing hortatory exposition texts poses considerable challenges for EFL students, particularly at the senior high school level. This study aimed to investigate the barriers faced by XI-1 students at SMAN 1 Sidayu in composing hortatory exposition texts and identify the factors influencing their writing performance. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through students’ writing tasks and questionnaires administered to 32 participants. The research involved analysing students’ written texts and administering a questionnaire to uncover both internal and external factors. The results revealed that students struggled most with constructing arguments and applying accurate grammar, despite reporting high levels of self-motivation. Furthermore, external support from family, school, and the surrounding environment was perceived as minimal.

Abstract

This research was motivated by low student motivation and their difficulties in understanding narrative texts when using conventional teaching materials. Therefore, this research aimed to develop interactive flipbook as a learning media for eighth-grade students at MTs Hasyimiyah. This research followed the Research and Development (RD) method using ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The participants were 77 eighth-grade students who took part in the field trial. Data were collected using validation sheets for experts, observation checklists, and student response questionnaires as the primary instruments. The findings showed that the integration of digital features, such as QR codes for audio models, into the flip-book was feasible and practical for classroom use. These features successfully supported student performance in reading aloud activities, particularly in improving confidence and pronunciation accuracy. The implication of this research is that the flipbook provides a flexible and engaging alternative for English teachers to enhance the quality of reading instruction through technology-integrated media.

Abstract

The use of YouTube in language teaching is no longer considered a new idea. In this study, the researcher investigated the use of YouTube movie clips in teaching listening from a student’s response, specifically in English education class. The study aims at portraying and describing the nature of how the lecturer applies YouTube movie clips in teaching listening classes for university students. The data were collected from the lecturer through observation, interviews, and field notes. A total of 26 English Department students in the Extensive Listening class were chosen as the participants of the study. The result of this study shows the students’ motivation improved by the feedback from their answer and their score. Their participation can be seen when the lecturer gave them feedback on their mistakes in spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary meaning, and content comprehension. The findings also show that there are a lot of ways that can be applied in language teaching by adopting media. Listening could be measured by the response answer to the writing or speaking skill of the students. Authentic material is used to make the relevant material for students’ listening improvement. It is suggested that the lecturer can implement various techniques or media in their language class.
