Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the program run by A university Language Center, namely the English Enrichment Program (EEP) in improving the English language skills of the students. The effectiveness can be seen through the teaching methods applied by lecturers which are proven to be effective in helping students and the effect of EEP classes on improving students' English language skills. The participants in this study were 2 lecturers and 49 students who participated in EEP classes in the odd semester 2023/2024. This research applied mixed methods, with questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect research data adapted from Hoffmann (2019) research. The results showed that the teaching methods applied, namely the Grammar-Translation method and also by giving tips and trick to answer the question, successfully developed students' abilities in reading and listening sessions. The results also proved that although the implementation of EEP classes still found some weaknesses such as internet connection problem due to online learning which causes lack of understanding and interaction between teacher and students, and several meetings which is not enough time for TOEIC preparation. However, the majority of students thought that the effectiveness of EEP still helped them in developing English language skills. Therefore, the results of this study highlight indicate that structured enrichment programs, such as the English Enrichment Program (EEP), can effectively complement formal English instruction, especially when they utilize well-designed and pedagogically sound teaching strategies.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to investigate metacognitive awareness in listening strategies among English Language Education students. To achieve its goal, this research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a questionnaire and interviews. The original questionnaire used in this research is Vandergrift's Metacognitive Awareness Listening Strategy (MALQ). Participants were 68 students of the English Language Education Department. The data analysis in this study describes the listening strategies used by English Language Education Department students. The data analysis of this study showed the listening strategies used by EFL students in the English Language Education Department. The findings showed that the problem strategy was the most widely used strategy by the students, shown by the highest mean score of 4.93/6.00. It was followed by other strategies, namely: planning & evaluation, direct attention, mental translation, and person knowledge strategies. Thus, the person knowledge strategy is the least used by the students. Therefore, in other words, students prefer using their prior knowledge and contexts to understand when they are listening to translate words in their head, maintain concentration, compare the effects of listening, and judge the difficulty level of listening.
