Abstract

This research attempts to find out the use of dialogue-based English worksheets in fostering students' speaking skills. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental research design was used in this study. The sample of the study consisted of 29 students of class X.E.3 who were selected using a cluster sampling technique. Pre- and post-tests were used to gather data. The t-test value was less than P (0.000 <0.05), showing that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. The data analysis results showed that the use of dialogue-based English worksheets significantly enhanced students' speaking abilities. Therefore, it can be said that the usage of dialogue-based English worksheets in class X.E.3 at SMAN 4 Maros is helpful in improving students' speaking abilities in English classes. By providing realistic conversation scenarios, dialog-based English worksheets help students improve their writing skills and allow them to practice writing in an authentic context. Through this exercise, students can develop confidence, communication skills, and a sense of self-esteem by using the right expressions and tone. In addition, these worksheets encourage active interaction between students and teachers so that students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and spontaneous responses in English.

Abstract

This study aims to identify relevant and interesting English teaching materials for elementary school students and analyze their impact on students' motivation and learning outcomes. This study employs a qualitative and quantitative method (mixed method) with participants consisting of the fifth-grade students at SDN 2 Sawerigadi. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires and were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the use of relevant and interesting teaching materials positively contributes to students' motivation in learning. The implemented strategies of developing teaching materials include the use of visual media, interactive learning methods, the selection of themes relevant to students' daily lives, and the adaptation to different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). The positive impact is evident in the increase in students' learning motivation, as reflected in their active participation in class and improved learning outcomes. Questionnaire data show that after using the developed teaching materials, most students experienced better comprehension and academic progress. Therefore, it can be concluded that relevant and interesting teaching materials can enhance elementary school students' motivation and learning outcomes in English language learning.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the barriers faced by Indonesian secondary education students in learning English through online platforms during the COVID-19 outbreak. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with five students from SMA Negeri 13 Makassar using a snowball sampling technique. The findings reveal seven key barriers: lack of clear instruction and limited teacher engagement, excessive assignment loads with minimal explanation, limited digital literacy among students and teachers, unstable internet connectivity, poor communication and delayed teacher responses, low student motivation, including psychological and emotional challenges, and an unsupportive home learning environment. These interrelated barriers significantly hindered students' ability to engage meaningfully in online English learning. The study highlights the importance of clear instructional design, digital competence, consistent communication, and supportive learning environments in ensuring effective online education. The findings are expected to inform future educational strategies and policies for more equitable and accessible English language learning, especially during times of crisis.

Abstract

This study explores students' perceptions and challenges related to the use of the Small Group Discussion (SGD) method in a non-formal English learning context, specifically in the EZPZ English Community in Makassar, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with nine students from three different proficiency levels: beginner, basic, and intermediate. The findings reveal that most students have a positive perception of SGD, appreciating the enjoyable learning atmosphere, increased confidence, and opportunities for interaction. However, several challenges also emerged, such as dominant participants, a lack of vocabulary, and difficulties understanding discussion topics. These challenges are categorized into internal and external factors. The study emphasizes the importance of ability-based grouping in enhancing student comfort and engagement during SGD in non-formal education settings.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students’ perceptions of using YouTube as a tool for learning English vocabulary. Using a qualitative case study involving ten sixth-semester students from Universitas Negeri Makassar, the research investigates how students engage with YouTube to develop vocabulary. The findings show that students generally perceive YouTube as an effective learning medium due to its audiovisual nature, real-world context, and interactive content. Students reported that YouTube enables them to discover, understand, and evaluate vocabulary in authentic situations. However, issues like inaccurate subtitles and fast-paced speech were also noted. The study concludes that YouTube, when used selectively and purposefully, enhances students’ motivation and vocabulary comprehension.
