This research aims to examine the success of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on the improvement of TOEFL preparation listening score at UPT Bahasa Universitas Khairun students course. This research performed an experimental study with paired-sample t-test. The subjects in this study were 20 students. The sampling is through the cluster sampling method, in which samples taken are classes. The classes that are used as sample selection will later become the experimental group classes for the study purposes. This study uses two types of instruments, which are; pretest to measure participants' initial scores from the TOEFL listening preparation program and the posttest to measure the final scores of participants related to the success of applying PBL method. The data then analysed quantitatively by using the paired-sample t-test in SPSS IBM 25. The results show that the minimum score is increased by 1 point from Min1=31 to Min2=32. While the maximum score is increased by 4 points from Max1=61, to Max2=65.

Abstract

The article is aimed at revealing some crucial language interferences that happened to Sasak students who were learning English. The Sasak itself is a sub-Austronesian language spoken by most of the citizens who live in Lombok and half of western Sumbawa. These language interferences play very important roles either in helping the students master English or challenging them. The positive interferences brought easiness to the students of Sasak to master English vocabulary. On the other hand, the negative interferences caused difficulties for students to learn English as their second language. The article says that defining the language interferences between Sasak and English brought some positive effects, particularly since it is a real endeavor to help the lecturers, teachers, and instructors of English in conducting teaching and learning practices. The research was conducted for the sake of finding evidence of these interferences issues. The interview was conducted by involving sasak students who were learning English. Moreover, a writing test of vocabulary was also conducted to confirm the language interferences existence when producing English words. Went through the research, and it was concluded that some morphemes that exited in the Sasak were a lot similar to morphemes that existed in English. Positively, these facts brought good effects on students who were learning English. Unfortunately, the accents in pronouncing those words were completely different which then challenged the students to master the English vocabularies.

Abstract

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence especially ChatGPT recently as the new technology has invited many differing opinions towards both learner and educators of English. Even though ChatGPT has the main purpose to assist the users’ working based on the given prompt to be generated, however, as a tool it can be also considered to belong within the realm of computer-assisted language learning considering several studies have been looking for an intersection between ChatGPT with CALL. For example, ChatGPT exploration especially with Japanese students' context (Sakai, 2023). Moreover, despite the many studies looking at how ChatGPT can be integrated to help with grammatical error correction related topics (Fang et al, 2023) or connecting ChatGPT with Grammarly (Wu et al, 2023). However, not many studies have attempted to explore ChatGPT to help L2 writers practicing IELTS (International English Language Testing System) Writing as a crucial language score requirement to study abroad. Therefore, This study aims to investigate (1) How ChatGPT generates answers towards understanding IELTS Writing Task? (2) How ChatGPT can help L2 writers practicing IELTS Writing? and (3) What are my reflections as the researcher exploring ChatGPT for practicing IELTS Writing? This study uses methodology of self-study inspired by Grant Cooper (2023) in order to conduct this exploratory self-study research. It can be concluded that ChatGPT can be an alternative for L2 writers practicing IELTS Writing section Part 2 by utilizing ChatGPT to generate writing prompts then generate feedback of the writing based on the prompt. The feedback includes structure and organization, development of ideas, vocabulary and word choices, grammar and sentence structure, as well as conclusion. ChatGPT can also provide estimated scores for the IELTS writing practice for each component including task response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy then overall band.
