It was found that metacognitive listening strategy had a low positive relationship with students’ listening comprehension (p= 0.024 and r= .280). The result also revealed that there was a low positive correlation between one of the component in metacognitive listening strategies, problem-solving strategy and students’ listening comprehension (p= 0.006 and r= .337).

Abstract

Reading comprehension is one of the essential things in learning English at schools. In practice, reading is not easy for students to understand because of the complexity of the text and the lack of interest in the reading text. The purposes of this study are the implementation of extensive reading through LINE Webtoon to enhance students' reading comprehension and how students respond to its implementation. The descriptive-qualitative approach was carried out by observing the process of teaching and learning English activities carried out by the English teacher in an online class attended by 36 high school students and interviews with seven selected students in the class. The observation activity aims to observe the implementation of extensive reading using LINE Webtoon to enhance reading comprehension in a narrative story. In contrast, the interview activity aims to describe students' responses to the implementation. The data were obtained by using three instruments: (1) observation using check-list and field note in worksheets during two meetings; (2) questionnaire to select the students to be interviewed and; (3) interview. The results showed that the implementation of extensive reading using LINE Webtoon could enhance students' understanding of a narrative story. Students agreed that reading text with pictures makes it easier for them to understand the story’s context, even when they encounter unfamiliar words. Future researchers can develop further studies for other types of reading text as well as for listening, writing, and speaking skills.

Abstract

Speaking ability is a productive ability in language to deliver meaning using verbal expression. Speaking ability is an essential skill and becomes one indicator of how far students know the target language. In teaching speaking, special treatment and methods are needed, which are different from teaching other skills. In this research, the researcher proves that the online game "Among Us" can be one of the learning media to help students practice their speaking ability. The method used in this research was qualitative research with a profound observation of teaching-learning activity in one of the senior high schools in Surabaya. From the observation field note from three meetings, it was found out that the teacher applied pre-teaching, whilst teaching, and post-teaching activity. The implementation of "Among Us" occurred on whilst teaching activities at the first and second meetings. The material used in this research was asking and giving information about condition, action, and activity in the past. The result found that asking and giving information about condition and activity employed the most by the students while asking and giving information about the action in the past was rarely employed. The result of student's speaking performance on the third meeting was evaluated using the speaking performance rubric. Most of the students notably achieved the target, and only a few sufficiently achieved the target. Several students performed outstandingly. From the findings, the researcher concludes that "Among Us" can be applied as independent learning media to assist students' speaking ability in asking and giving information about condition, action, and activity in the past.
