Abstract

Participation in the classroom plays an important role because learning occurs through the interaction between the teacher and the students. However, many students do not participate in class, which can hinder effective communication and limit opportunities for collaborative learning. Then, one effective strategy to encourage participation is to pose questions to the students. This study aims to identify the types of questions most frequently used by the teacher and investigate the impact of these question types on fostering student participation in class. The data were collected through classroom observations and interviews consisting of a group of fourth-year students and one copywriting lecturer at an institution in the city of Garut. Observations were conducted just to determine what types of questions were frequently used by lecturers, followed by interviews to determine the impact of each type of question. The results of the observation showed that the most frequently used type of question was the closed type. Then from the interviews the researcher found that closed and convergent questions encouraged more participation because the questions could be answered briefly and more definitely. Recall questions and open questions reduced interest in participation because the questions require complex answers. Keywords: impact, interaction, participation, teacher questioning

Abstract

Authentic Materials, defined as resources created for native speakers, provide contextualized language exposure that traditional materials often lack. Especially when authentic materials are integrated into educational settings through classes. Therefore, exploring students' perceptions of using Authentic Materials in reading classes is a research topic of interest. This paper examines the perceptions and preferred types of Authentic Materials among first-year English Language students at Saigon University (SGU). A mixed-methods approach, combining questionnaires and interviews, was employed to collect data from 100 freshmen for the survey and 10 for the interviews. The findings revealed a generally positive view towards Authentic Materials, perceiving them as beneficial for increasing engagement, enhancing vocabulary, and improving reading comprehension. Moreover, magazines, novels, and short stories were the preferred genres of Authentic Materials. However, challenges related to Authentic Materials, such as difficulty in relevance to course content, were also highlighted. In conclusion, Authentic Materials are perceived as both engaging and educationally valuable, despite some implementation challenges. This study contributes to the understanding of material selection in EFL contexts, offering evidence-based insights that can inform curriculum design and classroom practices in higher education.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Talking Stick method in improving the speaking skills of students at SMP N 2 Padang, addressing common issues like low proficiency, anxiety, and poor communication. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design, a single group of 32 students from class VIII.1 received a pre-test and a post-test. The results showed a significant improvement, with the average score increasing from 48.59 on the pre-test to 75 on the post-test. Statistical analysis confirmed this finding, as the calculated t-test value of 23.893 was significantly greater than the t-table value of 2.042, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The significance of these findings lies in their ability to provide empirical evidence that the Talking Stick method is a highly effective, data-backed tool for enhancing student speaking skills. This research offers a practical, actionable solution for teachers facing similar challenges in their classrooms and contributes to the existing body of literature by validating the method's effectiveness in a specific, localized context.

Abstract

Abstract English academic writing, especially scientific reports, is difficult due to many problems. In particular, many researchers found that a large number of students are still unable to effectively paraphrase English texts, as shown by the fact that the majority of the sources are almost exactly repeated in the students' work, leading to unintentional plagiarism. To address the lack of paraphrasing skill, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can provide students with great assistance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate Sai Gon University students' perceptions towards online paraphrasing tools and recommend some ways to avoid plagiarism in learning academic writing. The data from 100 random English-majored seniors were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings revealed positive perceptions of students towards the utilization of online paraphrasing tools in learning academic writing. Most of them found these tools beneficial for their improvement in paraphrasing skill. Based on the data collected, the study recommends some useful and appropriate ways to avoid plagiarism by using AI tools in their writing.
