Abstract

This study investigates how teachers’ verbal reinforcement influences students’ motivation to learn English at SMPN 40 Makassar. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through six classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with three English teachers and seven eighth-grade students, and documentation. The findings reveal that verbal reinforcement expressed through praise, affirmation, positive feedback, and personalization significantly enhances students’ motivation, confidence, and participation. Teachers’ consistent and context-sensitive use of encouraging language reduced anxiety, promoted active engagement, and fostered long-term interest in English learning. Students reported feeling recognized and supported when their efforts were acknowledged verbally, even in cases of partial or incorrect responses. The study concludes that authentic verbal reinforcement not only strengthens students’ intrinsic motivation but also functions as an affective pedagogical strategy that nurtures emotional connection and communicative confidence in EFL classrooms. Theoretically, the study contributes to understanding how verbal reinforcement, viewed through Self-Determination and Growth Mindset frameworks, operates as a motivational mechanism within teacher-student interactions.

Abstract

This study investigates the types of digital media selected by high-achieving students to support English learning beyond formal classroom settings. Employing a qualitative research design with purposive sampling, the study involved five eleventh-grade students from SMA IT Wahdah Islamiyah Makassar. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and supporting documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that students predominantly utilize platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Apple Music, and Komiku as supplementary learning resources. These media contribute significantly to the development of vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, and reading skills by providing authentic, engaging, and easily accessible English content. Students favor these platforms due to their flexibility, allowing self-paced learning that aligns with individual interests and learning preferences. Additionally, interactive features such as comment sections, duets, and content sharing foster greater motivation, confidence, and willingness to use English in real-life contexts. Nevertheless, the study also identifies several challenges, including potential distractions, unstable internet connectivity, limited application features, and difficulties in maintaining learning discipline. Despite these constraints, the findings suggest that digital media plays a meaningful role in facilitating enjoyable, autonomous, and effective English learning outside school environments.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of parenting style on the English speaking ability of students at vocational high schools (SMK PGRI) in Gianyar Regency. The study adopts an explanatory quantitative design complemented by qualitative insights, employing a mixed-methods approach to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. Data were gathered through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and classroom observations involving 90 students from three SMK PGRI institutions in Gianyar. To examine the relationships among variables, the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling with the Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) technique. The findings demonstrate that parenting style exerts a positive and statistically significant influence on students’ English speaking ability. This is evidenced by a path coefficient (β) of 0.299, a t-statistic value of 3.215, which exceeds the critical threshold of 1.96, and a p-value of 0.001, indicating a strong level of significance. These results suggest that supportive and positive parenting practices, particularly democratic parenting, play a crucial role in fostering students’ confidence, motivation, and proficiency in spoken English. Furthermore, the study highlights that students who receive encouragement, open communication, and emotional support from their parents tend to demonstrate better performance in English oral communication. Therefore, this research emphasizes the necessity of strengthening collaboration between families and schools to create a supportive and communicative learning environment that effectively promotes the development of English speaking competence among vocational high school students
