Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examined the impact of online English learning on achievement and motivation for Grade 11 students, comparing it to traditional classroom methods. Seventy-two students from SMA 2 Raha participated, with the experimental group undergoing online learning while the control group followed traditional methods. Pre- and post-tests revealed a significant improvement in the online group's achievement (p < 0.05), with a higher average gain score compared to the control group. Notably, within the online group, females showed a slightly higher average gain score (33.42) than males (27.37), indicating a gender difference. Motivation, assessed via questionnaires, indicated higher reported motivation among females (80.3%) compared to males (72.2%) in the online environment. These findings highlight the effectiveness of online English learning in enhancing overall student achievement, with females potentially experiencing a slight advantage in both achievement and reported motivation in this specific context.

Abstract

This qualitative study delves into the intricacies of language ethics exhibited by a five-year-old child named Dzakwan, drawing upon transcribed audio recordings spanning March to May 2020. Situated within the multifaceted framework of human development encompassing biological, cognitive, and socio-emotional processes, the research seeks to elucidate the factors shaping language ethics acquisition in early childhood. Through descriptive analysis, the study unveils Dzakwan's adeptness in adhering to linguistic norms, attributable to a confluence of influences including health, cognitive prowess, learning experiences, and environmental stimuli. These findings underscore the nuanced interplay between individual characteristics and external factors in the cultivation of language ethics. Furthermore, practical implications emerge, suggesting strategies to nurture language proficiency and ethical communication in young children, such as fostering meaningful dialogue and cultivating responsive interactions within their social milieu. By shedding light on the developmental trajectory of language ethics, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of language acquisition processes and offers actionable insights for promoting linguistic competence in early childhood education and parental guidance.

Abstract

This study analyzed the English writing of Thai EFL students at Muhammadiyah Kendari University, focusing on two main questions: (1) What writing errors do Thai EFL students make in their English paragraphs? (2) How does their first language interfere with their performance in writing English paragraphs? A descriptive qualitative method was used to identify writing errors and describe first language interference. Errors in punctuation, tenses, spelling, agreement, prepositions, finite verbs, and articles were highlighted and coded in the writing samples. The findings revealed significant errors in the students' writing, many of which were due to first language interference. These errors were primarily grammatical and phonological, resulting from differences between Thai and English grammar rules and language forms. This study underscores the challenges Thai EFL students face in writing English paragraphs and emphasizes the need to address first language interference to enhance writing proficiency. The findings can contribute to developing tailored teaching strategies and curriculum designs for Thai EFL learners.

Abstract

Teaching English to Mining Engineering students is divided into General English (GE) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP), with GE covering general skills and ESP focusing on scientific English. This research aims to identify the English learning needs of students in the Mining Engineering Department at Halu Oleo University. Using a survey method, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews from 60 respondents, including students, a lecturer, and graduates. The data were analyzed using SPSS. The findings indicate that students' primary needs for learning English are exam preparation, career advancement, completing studies, self-improvement, further education, and international travel. Students need to improve their vocabulary, listening, grammar, speaking, pronunciation, reading, and writing. Important mining topics include dilution, mining engineering, and disposal. Students face challenges such as lack of learning strategies, difficulty understanding texts, writing issues, low motivation, and limited vocabulary. Preferred learning methods include reading, audio materials, films, pair work, visual aids, individual study, and speaking while listening.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the extent of students’ social presence and their perception of classroom community in the context of distance learning, along with the factors influencing these outcomes. This investigation adopted a quantitative approach. The study comprised 111 students who actively participated in the academic activities during the 2021/2022 academic year, particularly those who experienced distance learning. The data underwent analysis employing descriptive statistics techniques, including the Likert scale, Likert item analysis, and examination of participants' responses to open-ended questions. The findings indicated, firstly, a notable level of student social presence in distance learning, particularly in terms of the perceived contribution of group activities to the learning process. Secondly, students exhibited a high sense of classroom community in distance learning settings, particularly in items related to connectedness. The underlying rationale for the elevated level of social presence during distance learning included each student's perception of engagement within the classroom. Similarly, the heightened sense of classroom community during distance learning stemmed from the perceived involvement of each student within the classroom environment.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe and analyze the socio-cultural factors influencing students' reluctance to participate in speaking classes in the English Education Department at Halu Oleo University, specifically those enrolled in 2018. A qualitative research design was employed. The respondents were nine fifth-semester students from the English study program who were taking Speaking III. Data was collected through interviews to understand the students' reluctance to speak in class. The interview data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis technique, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions (verification). The study found that students' reluctance to participate in speaking classes was influenced by several socio-cultural factors: willingness to volunteer, the presence of juniors and seniors, the lecturer's method of delivering material, campus interactions, and home environment interactions. Consequently, students' willingness to volunteer in speaking classes is shaped by their understanding of the material, fear of judgment, lecturer engagement, casual campus interactions, and limited exposure to English at home.

Abstract

The utilization of story completion as a novel technique for teaching speaking skills in narrative text has shown promising results in enhancing students' oral proficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of story completion on the speaking ability of both extroverted and introverted students at the Eighth-Grade level of SMPN 2 Kodeoha. Employing a quasi-experimental research design, the study selected students from two classes: Class VIII A, designated as the story completion group, and Class VIII B, serving as the control group receiving conventional instruction. Both groups covered the same topic during the study period. Data collection and analysis were conducted using Microsoft Excel. The findings revealed notable differences in speaking scores between the two groups. Specifically, the mean speaking score of introverted students in the story completion group surpassed that of their counterparts in the conventional group. Moreover, upon closer examination, both extroverted and introverted students in the story completion group demonstrated higher speaking scores compared to those in the conventional group. Furthermore, the results indicated that extroverted students outperformed introverted students in both groups in terms of speaking proficiency. These findings underscore the efficacy of employing story completion as a pedagogical tool for enhancing speaking skills, particularly among introverted students. Overall, the study sheds light on the differential impact of instructional methods on students' speaking abilities, highlighting the potential benefits of tailored approaches for diverse learner profiles.
