Then, the experimental group was taught using mind mapping techniques while the control group was taught without mind mapping techniques. Then, this research gave the instrument in the last session of this study, both groups were given a post-test. Then for data collection, researchers used a written test and data analysis using a t-test. It proves that there was a significant score on the t-test and the mean score of the experimental class and control class. In the experimental class score is 3.0 and the mean is 28.25. While in the control class, the t-test score is 3.0 and the mean score is 25.00. It proves that mind mapping techniques are an effective way to help students to overcome problems such as nervousness and not being confident to improve their writing skills, it also helps the students to organize systematic ideas and make them easy meaning to understand.

In addition, the calculation results of the SPSS version 22 application showed that the value of the t-count calculation was 2.3. Compared with table df = 54, namely (2.0) the significance level was 5%, t count > t table, then Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. In other words, accept the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and reject the null hypothesis (Ho) to test both variables. From the results of hypothesis testing, it was proven that There was a significant effect between the use of contextual learning.

Abstract

Digital learning has become a new learning mode in higher education.  Learners have become heavily dependent on YouTube channels and other technology-enhanced language learning platforms. As the YouTube platform has become an inexorable part of students’ lives, language teachers can explore their perceptions and assist them to learn English language with the help of this platform. This study aimed to find out the learners’ perception of using YouTube as a learning medium to enhance their language learning. In addition, a few pedagogical implications will also be provided. The research respondents comprised sixty-six undergraduate students of the Department of English, Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data were collected using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that the majority of the students reported that they benefitted by watching YouTube educational videos; however, in preparing assignments, being attentive while studying, and acquiring grammatical competence, learners reported that this platform had little impact. Most of the students reported that YouTube helped them to learn English vocabulary, to make learning English very interesting, to comprehend the contents of YouTube videos in a very easy manner, get relevant materials to learn English language, acquire English language better by writing down the major points in a diary while watching videos, to develop speaking skills watching YouTube videos, and to enhance listening comprehension.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a third language skill that must be mastered after speaking. What is expected of this skill is that learners can apply their understanding of the language to obtain information from reading. However, the reality found in the class shows that many learners complain about the difficulty of understanding sentences in a text, especially in the French language. This study aims to determine whether the CIRC model improves students' French reading comprehension before and after learning using the CIRC model. The use of the CIRC model for Reading Comprehension aims to improve the quality of students’ comprehension in obtaining French textual information. Its application to French reading comprehension is based on previous similar studies which state that this model is appropriate to be applied to improve reading comprehension skills. The research method of this study is a qualitative study with a classroom action research design. There were two cycles in this study, Cycle 1 was a research procedure before the CIRC model was applied and Cycle 2 was after the model was applied. Direct observations were made in the classroom during the RC learning process. Four learning steps that maximize individual abilities in group learning such as (1) the Planning phase, (2) the Implementation phase, (3) the Observation phase, and (4) the Reflection phase, produce a 5% increase in the value of the learning process. It is a certainty to apply this model for French reading comprehension to help learners understand a text well.
