Abstract

This quantitative study with pre-experimental design examines the differences in vocabulary mastery between students taught using Linga app and those taught without it. 36 senior high school students in 11th grade who receive additional English subject (Bahasa Inggris lintas minat) served as the participants of this experiment. Students' vocabulary mastery was tested using the vocabulary level test developed by Paul Nation and then updated by Webb et al. in 2017. To analyze the tests result, paired sample t-test was administered to find out the difference between the data. The results of the experiment indicate a significant difference in students' vocabulary mastery. This is proven by the result of the paired sample t-test with p-value <.001, it means that the difference between the pretest and posttest scores is statistically significant. Besides the paired sample t-test result, effects size calculation using Cohen's d revealed a moderate effect value for the group, with Cohen's d value of 0.822. In order to gain deeper insights of participants' experience, a post-experimental quantitative questionnaire consisting of 10 Likert scale items was administered. The result of the post-experiment questionnaire revealed that participants responded positively to the vocabulary learning application, indicating it was effective and user-friendly. The majority of participant expressed high levels of satisfaction with the app's features, particularly those supporting pronunciation, contextual word learning, and vocabulary training. Despite these findings, as there is currently limited prior research regarding the use of Linga app in English language learning, future studies are encouraged to expand on these findings with larger subjects or different language skills other than vocabulary.

The purpose of this research is to explore the effect of applying digital mind mapping using MindMeister on students' writing performance in hortatory exposition texts and to examine students’ perceptions regarding its implementation in writing classes. An embedded mixed-method approach combine with a quasi-experimental design was employed involving 68 students from a public senior high school in Gresik Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through writing tests and questionnaires. It was found that students in the experimental group significantly enhanced their writing performance (p = 0.000 < 0.05) in comparison to those in the control group. In addition, students demonstrated positive perceptions of digital mind mapping using MindMeister in terms of their attitude, activities, and overall writing experience. The findings indicate that digital mind mapping serves as a beneficial tool for enhancing students’ writing skills and engagement in the classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the speaking challenges faced by students and alumni in Kampung Inggris Pare, Kediri. Employing a mixed-method approach, 92 participants from three English institutions took part in the research. Data were collected using both close- and open-ended questionnaires, then analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings revealed that 40.3% of respondents experienced linguistic difficulties related to vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Psychological issues such as low confidence (25%) and anxiety (23%) also hindered their speaking performance. Additionally, 28.5% had the opportunity to speak but did not know what to say, while 31.7% lacked interaction with native speakers. These results emphasize the need for integrated language instruction that also considers psychological and environmental factors. Future research should involve interviews or classroom observations to further explore effective strategies that support learners’ speaking confidence.
