Abstract

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) improves writing proficiency through flexible, interactive, and feedback-oriented educational experiences. Mobile devices provide real-time modifications, multimedia integration, and collaborative activities such as blogging and peer review, allowing students to enhance their writing skills beyond conventional classroom limitations. Writing, a critical skill in language acquisition, requires not only mastery of vocabulary and syntax but also the ability to structure ideas and communicate effectively. However, traditional classroom instruction often lacks the immediate feedback and interactivity that modern learners need. MALL addresses these challenges by offering real-time feedback, interactive exercises, and multimedia resources that enhance the writing process. Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) promotes vocabulary enhancement and cultural understanding via real digital information. Despite obstacles like technical limitations and application choices, its capacity to promote learner-centred environments is considerable. This study investigates the role of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) in enhancing writing skills, focussing on its advantages and obstacles, and analysing techniques to optimise its effectiveness. The findings from this research can guide optimal strategies for integrating mobile technology into language education, thereby enhancing student engagement and writing proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Voice of America (VOA) videos as a medium for improving students’ English listening skills and examines student responses to this media. Using a pre-experimental design, data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and a questionnaire involving 30 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 13 Makassar. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ listening performance, with mean scores increasing from 70.43 (pre-test) to 86.00 (post-test), reflecting a 22.10% gain. Statistical analysis showed a t-test value of 130.6, exceeding the t-table value of 2.045 (p < 0.05), confirming the significance of the improvement. Student responses to the use of VOA videos were mixed, with a tendency toward neutrality and disagreement. These findings suggest that while VOA videos can effectively enhance listening skills, student engagement and perception may vary. This study contributes to the existing literature on the integration of authentic multimedia in language instruction, particularly in listening comprehension.

Abstract

This study tourism plays a significant role in promoting local culture and contributing to regional economic growth. In recent years, educational institutions have recognized the importance of integrating tourism-related topics into language learning as a way to enhance students’ communication skills while fostering cultural awareness. In the context of Nias Island, which is known for its unique traditions and natural beauty, introducing tourism advertisement writing in English can serve as a means of promoting local destinations to a wider audience. This study focuses on analyzing the ability of ninth-grade students to write tourism advertisements, highlighting both their strengths and areas that need improvement. Investigates the writing abilities of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Gido in crafting tourism advertisements about Nias Island. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected via observations, interviews, and documentation from 32 students in class IX-A. Results reveal that students possess strong skills in identifying content and creativity (96%) but face difficulties in grammar (43%), structure (66%), and persuasiveness (66%). Limited vocabulary, underdeveloped persuasive techniques, and insufficient knowledge of local attractions hinder their writing effectiveness. The findings highlight the importance of integrating persuasive writing instruction and cultural content into English lessons to support tourism promotion.
