Abstract

This study aimed to find the correlation between Students’ Emotional Intelligence and students’ speaking skill at the eighth grades of SMP Islam Nurul Haq Batam. In this study, the population was 50 students, and the samples were 30 students. The researcher employed simple random sampling for technique sampling. In collecting the data, the researcher used questionnaires to assess students’ emotional intelligence adapted from HRB (Health Research Board) by NHS London Leadership Academy (2014), which consisted of 29 items of questions, and the speaking test was to measure students’ speaking skill. The researcher used the Shapiro-Wilk formula to test the normality of the data and Hartley's test to verify the homogeneity of the data before assessing the hypothesis. To determine the relationship between the two variables researched, the researcher used the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation formula. The result of this research showed that rcount was higher than rtable (0.468> 0.361), with a significance level of 0.05; n = 30. It signified that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, whilst the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In decision, there was a considerable relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ speaking skill. Teachers should emphasize emotional intelligence in students' learning to enhance speaking skills.

Abstract

The integration of digital tools into education has fostered innovative methodologies like gamification, which is particularly notable in the field of grammar learning. This literature review assesses the role of gamification—defined as the use of game design elements in educational settings—in enhancing grammar mastery. Traditional grammar teaching often struggles to maintain student engagement and motivation, which are critical for effective learning. This review evaluates the efficacy of gamification in grammar instruction by analyzing empirical studies and scholarly articles from databases including Google Scholar and various educational journals. Focused keywords such as "gamification," "grammar learning," and "educational technology" guided the literature search, with a selection criteria aimed exclusively at studies intersecting gamification and grammar learning. The review details the application of gamification elements like points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges, and their impact on learner engagement, motivation, and academic outcomes. It also discusses the educational theories underpinning these strategies, such as behaviorism and constructivism. The findings suggest that while gamification significantly boosts engagement and motivation, its effect on actual grammar learning outcomes remains mixed. The review highlights a need for more longitudinal research to understand the long-term benefits and demographic variations. Consequently, while promising, gamification in grammar education requires further targeted investigation to fully realize its potential.

Abstract

One of the most important abilities for learning English well is the capacity to listen, both in formal and informal settings. When studying a language, listening comprehension helps students comprehend a range of spoken texts, from formal speeches to casual conversations. Students who have good listening skills are able to understand key details, determine the main points of the message, and correctly interpret meaning. The teacher's ability to plan the listening exercise aids the students in developing their listening skills. Understanding students' habits when learning to listen is the first step toward a successful teaching career. This research explains the application that was used, the listening tactics employed by the EFL students, and the challenges they had when completing the application. Eighty-two new students in the English Language Teaching Department (ELTD) comprise the research population, and 15 students were interviewed randomly. This study uses qualitative research methods. The information was gathered from observation and interviews. Coding, example-taking, and description were used to analyze the data findings. The findings indicate that when learning to listen, EFL students are more likely to employ metacognitive strategies than cognitive or socio-affective strategies. Students use YouTube, Twitter, Joox, TOEFL, Spotify, Podcasts, Dou Linggo, BBC Learning, Instagram, Praat, Google Translate, Tune In, and Pronunciation in Use as applications for learning to listen. Students face challenges when using applications due to internal factors (students and listeners) as well as external factors (Internet bandwidth and speakers). This finding should aid teachers in creating a listening lesson plan that takes into account the needs and personalities of their students.
