Abstract

The present research study examined the effectiveness of skimming and scanning techniques in enhancing students' reading comprehension, particularly in fostering their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in learning reading comprehension. Thus, this research aimed to investigate the efficacy of using skimming and scanning as reading strategies to improve students' achievement in reading comprehension at a public high school in Battambang. The study involved students at the elementary level of Lvea High School in Bavel District, Battambang Province. The total population consisted of 350 students with 47 students chosen as the sample for this research through purposive sampling. The researcher employed an experimental design with one class receiving the treatment. Data were collected through a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The mean score of the post-test (77.48) was higher than the mean score of the pre-test (32.03). Additionally, the t-score (8.62) was greater than the t-table value (2.013) at a significance level of p<0.05 for a two-tailed test, with a degree of freedom of 46. Furthermore, the questionnaire results showed that most of the students responded positively to use skimming and scanning techniques in reading comprehension. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that skimming and scanning techniques significantly enhance students' reading comprehension achievement and are appropriate for implementation.

Abstract

This study explores the perceived role of English in maritime education at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Barombong, specifically questioning whether Maritime English is treated as a core or supplementary subject. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 100 cadets. The findings reveal a strong consensus among cadets regarding the importance of English in enhancing communication skills, building professional confidence, and supporting future career opportunities in the global maritime industry. Despite this, Maritime English remains marginalized within the curriculum, often taught separately from technical subjects and allocated minimal instructional time. The study identifies a significant gap between cadets’ linguistic needs and the current pedagogical approach. The results also align with similar local research in Indonesia, indicating a national trend of underemphasizing Maritime English in seafaring education. This research concludes with a recommendation to reposition Maritime English as a main course integrated into practical and technical maritime training to better prepare cadets for international standards and global work environments.

Abstract

This research investigates how e-portfolio assessment is perceived by students and how it helps them develop self-assessment abilities in the EFL classroom. The research adopted qualitative descriptive case research method for an in-depth exploration of students’ perceptions and development of self-assessment skill regarding e-portfolio assessment in EFL classroom at STAI Al-Gazali Bone. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview consisting ten questions to measure the Students’ Perceptions of the benefits and challenges of using e-portfolio assessment in the EFL classroom. The findings of this research reveal that e-portfolio assessment has a significant impact on students’ learning experiences in the EFL classroom, particularly in enhancing self-assessment, motivation, and engagement. Students generally expressed positive perceptions toward the use of e-portfolio, citing its flexibility, ease of access, and ability to accommodate a variety of task formats (text, audio, video) as major benefits. Another important finding is the development of self-assessment skills. Students engaged in reflective activities, such as reviewing their progress, comparing their work with peers, and analyzing feedback. Despite the benefits, students also reported several challenges. Technical issues such as unstable internet connections and unclear instructions were common obstacles. In summary, while e portfolio assessment offers meaningful advantages for language learning and reflective practice, its effectiveness depends on how it is implemented, the support provided by lecturers, and the technological readiness of both students and the institution.
