Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using the "Two Truths and A Lie" game in improving the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Labschool Untad Palu. This research was motivated by the students' persistent challenges, including low motivation and speaking anxiety, often exacerbated by non-interactive teaching methods. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group, the study involved a sample of 45 students. Data analysis using SPSS confirmed that the post-test scores of the experimental group followed a normal distribution, justifying the use of parametric tests. The mean scores showed a substantial increase in the experimental group, rising from 9.09 to 15.95, significantly higher than the control group’s increase (from 10.40 to 14.45). This difference was confirmed as statistically significant by the paired sample t-test, supporting the hypothesis. The findings conclusively demonstrate that the "Two Truths and A Lie" game is significantly effective in boosting students' confidence, improving fluency, and developing critical thinking skills, providing empirical insight into the value of incorporating fun and interactive teaching methods.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the shadowing technique in improving the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compared two groups: an experimental group that received listening instruction through shadowing and a control group that received conventional instruction. Assessment tools consisted of pre- and post-tests with multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank items designed to evaluate micro and macro listening skills. The findings revealed substantial improvement in the listening performance of the experimental group after the intervention. Their mean score increased significantly from 43.33 on the pretest to 84.17 on the posttest. In contrast, the control group showed only a marginal increase, from 27.59 to 39.66. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significance value of 0.000, confirming a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Based on this result, the null hypothesis was rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis. Therefore, it can be concluded that the shadowing technique significantly improves the listening skills of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Parigi.
