Abstract

The Speaking is a complex language skill that involves not only articulating words and sentences but also expanding and expressing ideas meaningfully. This study investigates how using Disney's "Moana" as a teaching tool improves speaking skills in second-grade students at SMPN 1 Biboki Selatan, focusing on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. Employing Classroom Action Research (CAR) and mixed methods, the study involved 16 students from class VIIIA. Initial speaking test scores averaged 59.06%, with only 37.5% meeting the KKM (75%). After Cycle 1, scores rose to 73.12% with 56.25% meeting the KKM, and in Cycle 2, scores further increased to 86.25%, with all students meeting the KKM. Observations indicated that student activity improved from 72.72% in Cycle 1 to 83.63% in Cycle 2, demonstrating increased engagement. These findings show significant improvements in students' speaking skills and participation, validating the effectiveness of using English movies in language learning. The consistent score increases and enhanced student engagement highlight the success of the CAR approach, making further cycles unnecessary as all students achieved high mastery levels by the end of Cycle 2.

Abstract

The use of technology in English learning is becoming increasingly crucial to achieve optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to explore teachers' perceptions regarding the use and challenges of using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English learning at SPM Al-Mashduqiah. Using a qualitative method with a case study type, this study focuses on the perception of English teachers in the school as the subject of the study. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then analyzed using a descriptive approach to describe and interpret the teacher's experiences and views in detail. The findings reveal that teachers have been utilizing ICT in various aspects of English learning, including the use of learning apps, interactive videos, and online platforms for assignments and evaluations. However, teachers face several challenges, such as limited facilities, lack of technical training, and resistance to changes from traditional teaching methods. Teachers' perceptions of ICT utilization vary; most view ICT as a tool capable of increasing student engagement and learning effectiveness, while others feel burdened by the need to master new technologies in their use in English learning. The study concludes that although the use of ICT in English learning at SPM Al-Mashduqiah has great potential to improve the quality of education, further efforts are needed to address existing challenges, including increased facility support and ongoing training for teachers. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and education practitioners in designing effective strategies for ICT integration, making an English learning more enjoyable and effective.

Abstract

The application of technology in English language education is increasingly widespread, one of which is through the Duolingo app. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using the Duolingo app on students' motivation in learning English as well as identify the specific factors that contribute to such motivation. The research method used was a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data was collected through a structured questionnaire with a Likert scale to measure students' motivation and contributing factors. Qualitative data was obtained through focus group discussions (FGDs) to explore students' experiences and perceptions in depth. The results showed that the Duolingo app significantly increased students' motivation in learning English. Findings from the questionnaire indicated that 53.3% of respondents strongly agreed that Duolingo was effective in increasing their motivation, while 46.7% agreed with the statement. The focus group discussion corroborated these findings by emphasising the role of gamification features, such as points and badges, as well as self-paced learning features in making the learning process more enjoyable and improving English confidence and comprehension. The findings are consistent with previous research highlighting the effectiveness of gamification and self-paced learning features and make a novel contribution by exploring the overall impact of different app features. Limitations of this study include the limited sample size and reliance on self-report data, which may affect the generalisability of the results. Future research is recommended to use a larger and more diverse sample and more varied data collection methods, including direct observation and in-depth interviews. Future research could also explore the long-term effects of using Duolingo and the differences in its impact based on students' educational background or initial ability level. It is hoped that these recommendations will provide a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of this app in the broader context of English language education.

Abstract

The aim of this research method is to examine whether the implementation of the Team Games Tournament method influences students’ vocabulary mastery when describing extracurricular activities. Many students in areas that rarely use English as a second language find it difficult to master English. The problem that often occurs is the lack of motivation when students want to develop their English skills. The researcher collected data from 2 class VII students at SMP Islam Kunir. The subject of this research was the VII class; VII-A and VII-C had 27 students, and VII-B had 28 students. This research conducted quantitative method with quasi- experimental design . The data were collected using a vocabulary test. The mean of pre-test and post-test on control group are 51.43 and 71.25. While, The mean of pre-test and post-test on experimental gropu are 63.42 and 82.96.  The significance of the T-test result is (0,000), which means it is lower than (0,005). That means the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Based on the data results, the researcher found that the team game tournament method can improve students’ vocabulary mastery. This research only used one game, Describe and Mention. Many games can be used in the TGT method. The researcher hoped that future studies would use another game to understand the effect of the TGT method on vocabulary more comprehensively. Also, the researcher hoped that future studies would investigate other contexts, such as speaking, reading, writing, and listening.

Abstract

English is an international language that is widely studied in various countries. However, English is already like a currency, one side of which is considered fun, and the other side is considered complicated and troublesome. Because researchers believe that students need English as an essential element in the modern world, such as education or even work, researchers' perceptions may be different from the perceptions of students so different perceptions will emerge from one person to the other. To analyze this, the researchers put Al-Qolam students of non-English-language Tarbiyah Faculty as objects.

To help the process and development of their studies. Students also have the perception that English is not only needed at the time of learning but English is also needed for the future. Then it was discovered that it was important to have an analysis of the needs of students in a learning process. So, the researchers found that Al-Qolam students need a skill in reading. According to the student's perception, the skill of reading can help the process of teaching needed to help understand the learning sources, books, or journals that use the English language. With that skill of reading, students acquire knowledge and add vocabulary automatically.

Abstract

This research aimed to enhance the speaking skills of the third-grade students at SMPN Kota Baru Kefamenanu through the use of folklore. The study employed a pre-experimental design, consisting of three stages: pre-test, treatment, and post-test. Initial findings from the pre-test showed that students had an average speaking skill score of 53.60%, classified as "average." After incorporating folklore as a treatment in the learning process, the post-test results indicated a significant improvement, with an average score increasing to 83%, categorizing students as "very good" (71-85). This demonstrates that folklore was effective in improving students' speaking skills, moving them from an average to an excellent level of proficiency. Additionally, a questionnaire was distributed to assess students' perceptions of using folklore as a learning tool. The results revealed that 83% of students either strongly agreed or agreed that folklore significantly aided in enhancing their speaking skills. These findings suggest that folklore not only improves students' speaking abilities but is also well-received as an engaging and effective instructional method. This research provides insights into the benefits of integrating cultural narratives into language learning, contributing to more effective communication skills development.
