Abstract

This qualitative research study examines the turn-taking methods utilized during the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, with a focus on utterances and written words. Employing an observational approach (Sudaryanto, 2015), data were collected by closely observing the debate and recording pertinent remarks through note-taking. Several steps were followed in data collection, including initial observation of the debate, transcription of the debate script, and highlighting remarks indicative of turn-taking strategies as proposed by Stenström (1984). Data analysis followed the identification method outlined by Creswell and Poth (2014), involving multiple viewings of the debate video to comprehend the turn-taking methods and categorize the transcriptions to denote their application. The study identified 29 turn-taking strategies based on Stenström's (1984) theory, categorized into three groups: initiating the turn (starting up, taking over, and interrupting), maintaining the turn (utilizing filled pauses, lexical repetition, and introducing new topics), and relinquishing the turn (prompting, appealing, and conceding). These findings offer valuable insights into communication strategies within high-stakes political debates and contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between theory and qualitative research.

Abstract

This study is a linguistic one. It investigates the English words of Arabic origin. These borrowed words are organized and classified into different groups with their percentages. Sound modification of these words are also taken into consideration for the Arabic words to be nativized in English. It is clear that English borrowed various lexical items from many languages and Arabic is one of them. These words are classified into different groups: words related to animals, words related to vegetables, Fruit and food, words related to perfume, words related to science, words related to Islamic religion and miscellaneous words. However, borrowing is a linguistic phenomenon that no language can escape from it. This study comprises seventeen sections, they are as following an abstract, an introduction, objective of the study, significance of the study, limitation of the study, data collection, methodology, language, word – formation processes, borrowing phenomenon, types of borrowing, causes of borrowing, English language and the Arabic lexical items, data analysis, phonological changes, conclusion and references.

Abstract

Developing grammatical competence is crucial to mastering the English language because it enables learners to construct precise and meaningful sentences in both written and spoken contexts. The verb to be is one of the most significant grammatical elements since it can serve as a primary verb, an auxiliary verb, or a copula. However, EFL learners frequently struggle to use it appropriately, which frequently leads to errors in sentence construction, tense formation, and subject-verb agreement. Both their general language acquisition development and their academic writing abilities may suffer as a result of these persistent problems. In light of these issues, this study investigates the grammatical competence of university-level EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners, focusing specifically on the misuse of the verb to be. The research employs a quantitative approach involving grammar tests and written analysis from fourth semester of English education students of Sekolah Tinggi Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Abdul Mujib Laewang Dampal Selatan. Results reveal frequent errors in subject–verb agreement, tense usage, and sentence structure, with misformation and omission being the most common error types. The findings suggest a need for more targeted grammar instruction and continuous practice in academic writing.

Abstract

The Effect of Discovery Learning on the Reading Comprehension Skills of Eighth-Grade Students at SMP Labschool UNTAD Palu. This study aims to examine the effect of the Discovery Learning model on the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Labschool UNTAD Palu. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group taught using Discovery Learning and a control group taught with conventional methods. The sample consisted of 36 students selected through purposive sampling.The results revealed that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in post-test scores, with an average of 76.00 compared to their pretest average of 59.00. In contrast, the control group exhibited only a slight increase from 50.18 to 60.00. Statistical analysis using an independent t-test confirmed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), indicating that Discovery Learning effectively enhances students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

The ability to understand and evaluate written information is known as reading comprehension, while vocabulary mastery is the ability to use words in a language effectively. This study looked at how reading comprehension and vocabulary mastery relate to one another among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Palu. Out of a total population of 534 students in 15 courses, 73 individuals were chosen at random to participate in a correlational study design. Multiple-choice exams with 30 questions for reading comprehension and 50 items for vocabulary mastery were used to gather data. A linearity test, Spearman's rank correlation, and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for normalcy were used to analyse the data because of its non-normal distribution. The findings showed a p-value of 0.135 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between reading comprehension and vocabulary competence. A very little positive link was shown by the correlation coefficient (rs = 0.177). Therefore, it can be said that in this particular situation, students' reading comprehension ability is not strongly predicted by vocabulary competence alone.

Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of YouTube videos in improving the English-speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. Two groups participated in the reseach's quasi-experimental design: an experimental group that was treated using YouTube videos and a control group that was taught using conventional methods. Fluency and comprehensibility were the main goals of the speaking skills evaluation. A speaking rubric was used to collect the data through pre-tests and post-tests. Because of the non-normal distribution of the data, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test were used for analysis. The results demonstrated that the experimental group's speaking scores significantly exceeded those of the control group. While the control group's mean score only improved from 29.44 to 45.00, the experimental group's reached from 36.32 to 72.11. A substantial difference (p = 0.001) between the two groups was verified by the statistical analysis, suggesting that YouTube videos are a useful tool for improving students' English-speaking skills. According to the research, including digital resources like YouTube into English language instruction can foster a more stimulating and encouraging learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Listen-and-Draw technique in enhancing the listening comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah. Employing a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design, two classes were selected: one experimental group taught using the Listen-and-Draw method and one control group taught with conventional instruction. Pretest and posttest assessments were administered to measure student achievement. The results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group’s performance (mean posttest score = 47) compared to the control group (mean = 33). The t-test analysis (t-count = 9.97 > t-table = 0.0195) confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups. These findings support the use of the Listen-and-Draw technique as an effective instructional method to improve listening comprehension among junior high school students.
