Abstract

 This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the question-and-answer teaching method in improving students’ self-confidence in speaking English. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 34 students from class X.E4 at SMAN 5 Jeneponto, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a speaking confidence test assessed using five self-confidence indicators adapted from Brown (2004), namely eye contact, facial expression, voice volume, fluency, and willingness to speak. The data were analyzed using a Paired Sample T-Test and N- Gain Score. The t-test result showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the students’ pre-test and post- test scores. The average N-Gain score was 0.19, which falls into the low category. Nevertheless, there was a positive shift in students’ confidence levels—from “Not Confident” to “Moderately Confident.” This low gain may have been caused by the short duration of the treatment. The study concludes that the question-and-answer method is effective in enhancing students’ speaking confidence, especially by creating an interactive and supportive classroom environment. Keywords: Question-and-Answer Teaching Method, Speaking Self-Confidence.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the enhancement of students’ vocabulary after the application of video essays in an EFL classroom. The researcher employed a pre-experimental method using one group pre-test and post-test design. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and N-Gain analysis. The participants were 11th-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Tana Toraja, with a sample of 33 students. The vocabulary test focused on five aspects: meaning, word class, spelling, word use, and pronunciation. The Wilcoxon test results showed significant enhancement across all aspects with p-values less than 0.05, indicating that the gains were statistically significant. The N-Gain values ranged from 0.27 to 0.55, classified as moderate enhancement. These findings suggest that video essays, by combining visual and auditory elements, support vocabulary enhancement by providing contextualized, multimodal input. It is concluded that video essays can significantly enhance students’ vocabulary knowledge and are a promising tool for EFL instruction.Keywords: Video essay, vocabulary enhancement, EFL learners, multimodal learning

Abstract

This research aims to explore the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and the strategies they implement in teaching reading comprehension at MAS As’adiyah Puteri Pusat Sengkang. The research is grounded in the context of a semi-urban religious-based school where students generally have low exposure to English outside the classroom, limited vocabulary mastery, and low reading motivation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The research involved two English teachers as key participants who regularly teach reading comprehension. The findings indicate four major challenges: (1) diverse student abilities, (2) lack of vocabulary mastery, (3) low student motivation and reading interest, and (4) time constraints. To address these issues, the teachers applied various strategies including (1) cognitive strategies (skimming, scanning, summarizing), (2) reciprocal teaching, (3) pre-reading strategies (activating prior knowledge), (4) independent reading, and (5) multimodal reading strategy. In conclusion, despite the multiple challenges in teaching reading comprehension in EFL classrooms, the application of appropriate, adaptive, and context-sensitive strategies can significantly enhance students’ reading ability and engagement in the learning process.Keywords: challenges, strategies, EFL teachers, reading comprehension

Abstract

The novel written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi with the title Before the Coffee Gets Cold uses a Japanese background, or rather Tokyo. The author explains that there is one located in a small alley in Tokyo. The age of the cafe is long enough or even you could say it's quite old. This research aims to identify idiomatic expressions in the novel. Idiomatic expression is a type of informal language which has a different meaning from the meaning of the words in that expression. “Hold Your Tongue” this idiom does not actually mean that you have to put your finger in your mouth and hold your tongue, it means that you should not talk. The theory used in this research is the theory from McCarthy and O'Dell (2010), where McCharty and O'Dell proposed 7 types of idioms, namely: similes, binomials, trinomials, euphemisms, proverbs, cliches, and fixed statements. This research uses a qualitative data analysis method based on Miles, Huberman and Saldana (2014). Data was taken from Toshikazu Kawaguchi's novel "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" and analyzed by reading the novel as much as possible and understanding all the conversations. The researcher categorized several conversations into types of idioms in the novel Before the Coffee Gets Cold. The results of this research show that there are 24 examples of simile in the text. In idiom Binomial, there are 11 examples of binomial in the text. In idiom Proverbs, there are 4 examples of binomial in the text.  In idiom trinomial, there are no examples of trinomials in the text. In idiom euphemism, there are no examples of euphemisms in the text. In idiom cliché, there are 6 examples of binomial in the text. And the last, idiom Fixed statements there are 13 examples of binomial in the text. In all these types of idioms, contextual meaning is how the use and combination of these words provide color, nuance, and additional meaning in the text. They help to depict situations, characters, or messages in the story more deeply and creatively.Keywords: idiom, idiomatic expression, novel
