Abstract

This research discusses the challenges students face in writing English, which are characterized by anxiety, worry, and perceived deficiencies in linguistics, grammar, and vocabulary. This study investigates the causal relationship between student self-efficacy and writing ability in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Using causality design and quantitative descriptive methodology, researchers from Padang State University found a significant correlation between self-efficiency and writing ability from the ideation and convention dimensions. The study concluded that 26.3% of the variance in writing ability was caused by self-efficacy, supported by a high correlation value (0.222) and a significance level below 0.05. Acceptance of the hypotheses (H1, H2 and H3) underlines the influence of the role of self-efficacy on students' writing abilities. In essence, this research confirms that students' confidence in themselves has a significant impact on their effectiveness in writing English. Simply put, increased self-efficacy correlates with improved English writing ability among students.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of EFL pre service teachers regarding the use of ICT-based media as a teaching tool. A quantitative, descriptive research design was employed, using a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 27 positively worded statements across four indicators: interest, concern, object, and environment. Each item was rated on a four-point scale (1 = strongly disagree to 4 = strongly agree). The sample included 106 pre-service teachers. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to determine the percentage scores for each indicator. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers generally hold positive perceptions of ICT based media in English language teaching. The highest mean score was in the "interest" indicator (3.43), categorized as very positive. The "object" aspect, referring to the use of ICT tools in teaching, also received a high mean score (3.38). The "environment" and "concern" indicators scored 3.27 and 3.10, respectively, both falling into the positive category. Overall, the results suggest that EFL pre service teachers view ICT based media as a beneficial and effective tool for teaching English.

From the findings of observation classroom, it reveals that only five of these strategies were consistently implemented by all teachers at ELSI Padang. These strategies included teachers explicitly presents cultural information, uses authentic materials to teach culture, and encourages students to discuss a document or event from another culture then relate it to one’s own. Furthermore, the teacher also facilitates discussions on students personal and critical opinions about the topic related to culture and encourages students to explain or describe their feelings and attitudes about the text, the characters, and the events. In addition, from the total of sixteen identified strategies, four were not implemented by any of the five teachers during their culture teaching at ELSI Padang. The data indicates that these unimplemented strategies include asking students to identify and explain cultural references found in the learning materials and encouraging students to identify areas of misunderstanding in intercultural interactions in their learning materials. Additionally, the teachers did not implement strategies such as guiding students to analyze cultural stereotypes and leads discussions on differences in cultural values and beliefs across cultures.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigates the impact of music integration on the motivation of 34 tenth-grade students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at SMAN 1 Solok Selatan in learning recount texts, by answering two research questions: Does music integration have an impact on student motivation, and how does this impact occur? Conducted over three cycles, this study used songs such as “Fifteen” by Taylor Swift, “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, and “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran to teach the structure of recount texts through activities such as lyric analysis, group collaboration, scaffolding, and role-playing. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires, adapted from AMTB Gardner, measured motivation levels, while an observation checklist assessed engagement using the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction). Research results indicate that integrating music significantly enhances motivation, with average scores increasing from an average of 2.77 on the pre-test to 3.48 on the post-test, an increase of 14.46%. Observational data showed an increase in engagement from 56.94% in Cycle 1 to 85% in Cycle 3. Music enhances motivation by reducing affective barriers, fostering intrinsic engagement through enjoyable tasks, and promoting collaborative learning. Repeated improvements addressed challenges such as low verbal participation, increasing self-confidence (75% in Cycle 3) and satisfaction (100% in Cycles 2 and 3). This study highlights music as an accessible and low-cost tool to transform passive EFL classrooms in rural settings with limited resources into dynamic, student-centered learning environments, offering practical insights for educators in similar contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation quality and challenges faced by English Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP) in translating onomatopoeia from English into Indonesian. The research focuses on two key aspects of translation quality: accuracy and acceptability, as well as the common challenges encountered during the translation process. A descriptive qualitative method was used, employing a translation test and a questionnaire as instruments, with 24 students from the 2022 Translation class serving as participants. The findings show that the students' translations were generally categorized as almost accurate and almost acceptable. The study also revealed several key challenges, including subjectivity in interpretation, phonological differences, and differences in register and style between the source and target languages. These results suggest that translating onomatopoeia requires not only linguistic competence but also cultural awareness and creative strategy use. The study is expected to contribute to improving translation pedagogy and serve as a reference for future research focusing on translation strategies for onomatopoeia.

Abstract

Reading comprehension plays a crucial role in academic success, particularly at the university level, where students are often exposed to complex texts, such as analytical expositions. This study investigates the correlation between students' vocabulary and grammar mastery and their reading comprehension of analytical exposition texts. The population of this study consisted of 7 classes with 176 students in the fourth semester of the English Education program at Universitas Negeri Padang. The sample consisted of 35 students selected through proportional random sampling, where 5 students were chosen from each class using the Wheel of Names website. Three tests had been used to gather the data: a vocabulary mastery test, a grammar mastery test, and a reading comprehension test based on analytical exposition texts. The findings revealed no significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension (r = 0.184, p > 0.05). However, a moderate and significant correlation was determined between grammar mastery and reading comprehension (r = 0.508, p < 0.05). Due to the non-normal distribution of the data, regression analysis could not be performed. These outcomes imply that grammar performs a extra crucial role than vocabulary in students’ capacity to recognize analytical exposition texts. The study recommends that instructors emphasize grammar education in academic reading classes while still keeping vocabulary improvement.
