Abstract

This study aims to ascertain whether using the Quizizz application affects students' reading comprehension abilities in seventh-grade junior high school. The researchers used a pre-experiment design with a single group design to conduct this quantitative study. Seventh graders at one of Surabaya's public junior high schools served as the study's sample. Pre-test and post-test were utilized in this study to gather data. This study examined a paired sample t-test to collect the information. The t-test indicates that the student's scores after receiving the treatment are higher than the students' scores before, as evidenced by the average score's increase from 64.41 to 81.12. The Alternative hypothesis is accepted as there is a substantial impact of utilizing Quizizz on students' reading comprehension abilities, according to the findings of the paired sample t-test, which revealed that the Sig (2-tailed) score is 0.000 <0.05. It has implied that Quizizz could improve students' reading comprehension since the teacher provides valuable knowledge for students.  They are motivated to read English text using Quizizz. It is recommended for future research to explore the application of Quizizz for other skills.

Abstract

The research conducted at 4th semester aimed to investigate the influence of vocabulary mastery and reading strategy on students’ reading ability. Ex Post Facto study was implemented, and a simple random sampling technique was used which sample consisted of 3 classes. Data collection was achieved through questionnaires and tests, ensuring instrument validity and reliability. Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression were used in data analysis. The results showed that there is significant influence of vocabulary mastery on reading ability with 34,26% of the effective contribution, a significant influence of reading strategy on reading ability with 7,96 of the effective contribution, and a substantial influence on vocabulary mastery and reading strategy combined on the reading ability with 42.3% of the total effective contribution. These findings highlight the importance of vocabulary mastery and reading strategy in improving students' reading ability. When constructing teaching materials and ways to improve students' reading ability, lecturers and curriculum designers should keep these variables in mind. It is suggested for future researchers to explore more advanced methodologies and treatments to improve vocabulary and reading knowledge, perhaps leading to even greater improvements in students' reading ability. Additionally, further research can still provide insights for educators and students.

Abstract

Pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test was used in this study to determine whether there is any positive or negative effect on students' vocabulary mastery after they are taught using English songs. This study's instruments were a written vocabulary test and a field note. The researchers employed English songs combined with a Vocabulary self-collection (VSS) technique in the treatment to improve students' vocabulary acquisition. The mean pre-test score for 39 students in the eighth grade at an Islamic junior high school was 48,71, and the mean post-test score was 80, 89. The mean results of the pre-test and post-test demonstrated a significant improvement in students' vocabulary mastery. The t-test's p-value (sig-2-tailed) was 0.00, which is less than 0.05. This outcome indicated that Ho was refused but Ha was authorized. It was able to prove that gaining vocabulary in the eighth grade of an Islamic junior high school utilizing an English song and VSS had a positive impact on students' vocabulary mastery. The main teaching implication of this study is that when an English song is combined with specific teaching and learning objectives and supported by learning assessment through VSS, it might assist students in learning English vocabulary effectively.

Abstract

This research aims to investigates Bantenese students' perceptions of integrating digital technologies in collaborative learning.  A descriptive qualitative approach was engaged, employing questionnaires as the primary means of data collection. Subsequently, the data underwent a comprehensive analysis involving data reduction, presentation, and the formulation of conclusions. The research revealed that the integration of technology in collaborative learning, from the viewpoint of Bantenese’ students, offers substantial support and benefits to both educators and learners. It provides convenient access to comprehensive information from various reputable sources, thereby reducing the time needed for assignments. Nonetheless, a drawback associated with the incorporation of technology in education is the risk of fostering passivity in students, as they may opt for immediate solutions through artificial intelligence or turn to assignment service websites, raising concerns about their authenticity and data security. This research also underscores the necessity for additional exploration into the difficulties encountered by students in Banten when engaging in collaborative learning approaches that incorporate technology.

Abstract

The study focuses on the dynamics and types of teacher and student talks in EFL classrooms. It highlights whether teacher or student talk dominates class and impacts students' language acquisition. It was conducted in an Eastern Indonesian secondary school and employed exploratory sequential mixed methods. The data were collected from an English teacher and 32 students through interviews and observations. Thematic analysis and relative frequency distribution table were used for data analysis. The findings showed that teacher talk dominated classroom activities and made student-centred learning lacking, thus affecting students' language acquisition. Various teacher and student talk categories were identified using the Flander Interaction Analysis Category (FIAC) framework. Teacher Talk (TT) involved indirect influences such as accepting feelings, praises or encourages, using students' ideas, and asking questions. The direct influence includes lecture, giving directions, and criticizing students' behaviour. While Student Talk (ST) had students' responses, students-initiated silence and confusion. Implications suggest enhancing teachers' conversation management skills and fostering a more student-centred approach to facilitate students' language practice and participation. Additionally, future researchers who wish to conduct similar research can develop deeper by looking at other aspects that positively impact interaction in the English language classroom.
