Abstract

This study examined the impact of utilizing animated videos on students' listening skills and their perceptions of this instructional approach. An investigation was conducted using a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design, which included a control group. Data was collected by means of listening tests and questionnaires. The participants, comprising 30 students from the ninth grade, were selected using cluster random sampling. Quantitative data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 20.0. The results indicated a notable distinction in the listening abilities of students in the experimental class when compared to their counterparts in the control class. The two-tailed significance difference yielded a result of 0.006, which is below the alpha level of 0.05. Consequently, The research hypothesis (H1) was corroborated, and the null hypothesis (H0) was invalidated. Additionally, the questionnaire findings demonstrated that students had a favorable perception of integrating animated videos into English language learning, especially in improving their listening abilities. To summarize, utilizing animated videos effectively enhances students' listening skills and is positively regarded as a teaching approach.

Abstract

This research article presents an assessment of the oral communication skills of students in the Business Administration Department. A questionnaire was used to measure 95 students' self-perceived ability in oral communication for various activities. The study aimed to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in students' oral communication skills and highlight potential areas for improvement. The findings revealed that students rated themselves low in the category of "Providing training through discussions, workshops," suggesting a need for focused attention in this particular skill area. These results have implications for curriculum development and instructional strategies, emphasizing the importance of incorporating targeted training methods to enhance students' oral communication skills in the Business Administration program

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if the animation video can enhance students' narrative writing skills at Universitas Borneo Tarakan. This research employed Classroom Action Research as its methodology (CAR). In this study, there were 21 of the sample. An observation checklist, an interview, and a writing test were used in this study. In this study, there were two success criteria. First, students should get at least a 75.0 on their writing assignments. Second, class participation and instructor engagement must both total 80. In this study, the researcher did the analysis of the data using a combination of different methods. Quantitative data analysis was used to evaluate the results of the written tests, while qualitative data analysis was used to evaluate the results of the observation checklist and interviews. This study found that the use of animated videos led to a rise in students' writing scores between the first and second cycles of instruction. Attendance at the first meeting was 33%, and at the second it was at 57%. The attendance rates for the first and second meetings of the second cycle were 52% and 76%, respectively. The outcome of the observation checklist demonstrates the improvement, which can also be seen for itself. Based on the checklist of observable behaviors, it was clear that the training had been effective. From what we can gather from the interviews, using animation videos in the classroom is beneficial and makes both teachers and students happy. The results of this study suggest that having students practice their writing skills with the aid of animated videos can help them achieve better results.

Abstract

This study provides a novel examination of the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technology into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction, specifically within the context of Management studies at Universitas Borneo Tarakan. It addresses a significant gap in empirical research by focusing on VR's effectiveness in teaching ESP within a management context, an area that has yet to be thoroughly explored. Using pre-and post-test scores from 286 students and detailed evaluation metrics, this research provides robust evidence of VR's transformative potential in enhancing ESP instruction. The findings indicate a clear improvement in language proficiency following VR-enhanced teaching, with significant increases in top-scoring students and decreases among those struggling with lower scores. Additionally, high levels of student engagement were observed during VR-enhanced lessons. Students reported positive usability experiences with the technology and expressed satisfaction with their learning outcomes. They also perceived significant benefits from using VR technology in their ESP instruction, including improved comprehension, increased motivation and engagement, and enhanced memory retention. However, alongside these positive outcomes are challenges that must be addressed for effective implementation. These include technical issues experienced by some participants suggesting the need for improvements or troubleshooting to enhance user experience; adaptation difficulties faced by learners when transitioning to new teaching methods introduced via virtual reality indicating the importance of providing additional support or guidance; and accessibility challenges emphasizing the need to ensure equal access for all learners when implementing such innovative technologies. In light of these findings, it is recommended that institutions like Universitas Borneo Tarakan looking to integrate VR into their ESP instruction consider establishing robust technical support structures to address potential issues. They should also provide additional guidance during transitions to new teaching methods introduced via virtual reality and prioritize ensuring accessibility for all learners. This study contributes valuable insights into effective strategies for modernizing ESP instruction using innovative technologies like Virtual Reality while highlighting areas where further exploration is needed.

Abstract

Corpus linguistics, the study of language form and function using computerized corpora, involves collecting extensive electronic texts to analyze language usage. It serves various objectives: qualitative analysis, exploring nuances in language use, and quantitative analysis, identifying patterns in word usage and collocations. Corpus linguistics tracks language variation over time, aids language teaching, supports lexicography, and contributes to discourse analysis. Its evolution grew from the 1950s to the present day, marked by technological advancements and theoretical integration. The article underscores the significance of qualitative analysis in providing contextual insights into language use. The systematic creation of a corpus involves steps like text selection, data collection, preprocessing, annotation, and quality control. Various qualitative analysis techniques, from discourse analysis to lexical semantics, offer diverse perspectives for studying linguistic phenomena. This article provides a concise overview of corpus linguistics, its evolution, the importance of qualitative analysis, corpus creation, and qualitative analysis techniques.
