Abstract

Speaking skill is one of the four essential skills in English. However, some students need help with their speaking ability. This research used the communicative language teaching (CLT) method to teach English, specifically by utilizing picture series to help students improve their speaking skills. This study aimed to determine whether the CLT method enhances students' speaking skills. An experimental design was employed for this research. The population of this study consisted of 353 students from grade 8 of Public Junior High School 1 Kupang. The cluster random sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 32 students. The data collection process involved a spoken test, pre-test and post-test to assess students' speaking skills. The results of the data analysis indicate that the mean score of students on the pre-test was 7.81. After the intervention, the mean score of students on the post-test was 17.34, and there was an improvement of 12.2%. The data was analyzed using a t-test; the t-test value (5.21) was more significant than the t-table value (1.69552). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. The findings demonstrated that the CLT method effectively enhanced students' speaking skills.

Abstract

Writing requires learners to articulate their thoughts and ideas in a coherent and organized manner. Understanding grammar can help students organize their thoughts in sentences that readers can easily understand. This study, title " A Correlation Study Between Students' Grammar Mastery and Writing Ability in The Second Semester Students of The English Education Study Program", aim to investigate the correlation between students' grammar mastery and their writing ability and to know the extent of the two variables correlate. The research method used is a quantitative method that applies a correlational study. The research instrument is documentary data, with the sample of this study being 19 students. The results show that there is a correlation between the two variables. The correlation between the two variables is proven by the rxy=0.747. The correlation coefficient is in the range of 0.60 to 0.80 showing a strong correlation, which indicates the extent of the correlation between the two variables. In simple terms, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Meanwhile, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted, which means that second-semester students of the English Study Program who are good at grammar are also likely to be good at writing.

Abstract

This study explores the unique folklore of Sabu Raijua enriching cultural enthusiasts and providing valuable insights for academics and students in folklore, anthropology, and cultural studies. The intricate relationship between folklore and the broader cultural and social context of the Sabu Raijua community within the folklore can be analyzed to provide a deeper understanding of its significance. To obtain the data, two folklores was analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes from collected data. Literary research was explored to validate the findings, ensuring the results were relevant. The methodology involved a detailed process of repeatedly reading the story, coding, and grouping data into themes followed by validating and narrative interpretation. The two stories highlight the cultural values of the Sabu Raijua people through genealogy, naming system, geographical identity, and supernatural powers. They reflect social values such as family responsibilities while also showcasing key rituals like Happo Ana. This study offers insight into Sabu culture, emphasizing its traditions and the central role of magic and mythology in daily life.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of word-initial glottal stops in Rote and its implications for language revitalization programs. A number of phonological, morphological and syntactic evidence confirms that, in most cases, the status of the initial glottal stops can be determined; some are epenthetic, while others are contrastive. The difference between the two is evident in specific environments. Only a few instances are found in which the data are ambiguous. The data from Rote shows that a unitary analysis of the word-initial glottal stops is not possible. Thus, the status of such glottal stops needs to be carefully considered in orthography design for Rote languages to avoid underrepresentation or overrepresentation, which may lead to issues in the learnability of the orthography. This study contributes to (i) the exploration of variation and universality of prevocalic initial glottal stops, especially in Eastern Indonesian languages, and (ii) the orthography development of languages in Rote and the neighboring languages as an effort to language revitalization.
