Abstract

This research aims to improve students' writing skills. Some students consider writing skills in English to be difficult, boring and unpleasant. Because a teacher's learning model tends to be monotonous and lacking in teaching media. Many students are familiar with smartphones, and some even use them to study. Therefore, by using smartphones teachers and students can access several applications for learning such as quiz applications which have been proven to be effective in learning English. Quizizz is a form of digital instrument that requires all your students to start practicing together in class using technological tools such as computers, iPads, tablets, or smartphones, resulting in fun training for students. This research is a quantitative research using the Pre-Experimental design method using one group pretest-posttest to see the improvement in students' writing skills using media in the form of quizzes. This research was conducted in class XI MIPA MA Al- Mu'tadil. The sample was determined by total sampling technique and the number of samples was 10 people. To assist in data processing and prevent errors in data analysis, researchers used SPSS version 22 to analyze data based on data. From the results of the analysis based on the results of the Paired Sample t Test, the 2- tailed significance value of 0.000 is less than 0.005, indicating a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test with an average value of -38.00000.

Abstract

Anxiety is a major concern in the learning of speaking by EFL learners in an instructed language instruction situation. Speaking anxiety, despite being extensively studied, has yet to be fully understood. Keeping this in mind, this study explores the reasons of anxiety among foreign language learners, with special reference to "speaking" as a skill. Speaking is one of the abilities that appear to represent the students are able to speak English. Unfortunately, the majority of Indonesian students, particularly those at the university level, lack the necessary skills to communicate effectively in English. Students in the 4.0 era are expected to have strong communication skills and the capacity to interact with their peers. Speaking also demands practice and a strong psychological pleasure that must be pleasant. A related study that enhances the efficacy of speaking in language teaching and learning is critical. This descriptive study discusses the significance of good communication in English as a foreign language. The purpose of this study is to look into the speaking anxiety of MTs Roudlotut Tholibin eighth grade students. The specific goal of this study is to look into the variables that affect students' speaking anxiety as well as methods for reducing it based on the students' personal experiences. There were five students were chosen to participate. The researcher interviewed students who experience anxiety when speaking English, using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Two factors were revealed by the results. They are internal and external factors. English teachers need to comprehend the personalities of each of their students in the classroom, as each student's anxiety level can differ from one another.

The school used for the research was the Eighteen students from the Eleventh Grade IPA at MA AN- Namirah as the respondents. There was a test which formed part of the quantitative data collection and research, this was a one group Pre-test and Post-test experimental design.

Abstract

In academic communication, politeness in short messages (SMS) from students to lecturers is an important aspect that reflects respect and language ethics. From a pragmatic perspective, politeness in messages is not only determined by the choice of polite words, but also by understanding the context, language function, and prevailing social norms. Based on pragmatic principles, the messages conveyed by students must pay attention to factors such as social status, the relationship between speakers and interlocutors, and the purpose of communication. For example, the use of opening greetings, polite request expressions, and polite closings shows awareness of the principle of politeness in communication. Conversely, messages that are too direct, without self-introduction, or use informal language can be perceived as lacking respect for academic norms.

Abstract

While there has been extensive research on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in multimodal textbooks, most studies primarily focus on analyzing culture and gender. However, the investigation of Character Education using CDA still needs to be more extensive. To fill this void, this study aims to examine the representation of Character Education in secondary-level English textbooks in Indonesia, following one of the goals of the latest curriculum to make each individual have character and behave following the values of Profil Pelajar Pancasila (The Pancasila Students’ Profiles). To address this issue, this study conducted a critical discourse analysis by adopting Kress and Van Leuween's (2006) Visual Grammar Theory to analyze the visual image and Halliday’s (1975) and Matthiessen’s (2004) Systemic Functional Analysis (SFL) to elucidate the textual representation of the character education in the selected EFL-multimodal textbook. This research focuses on Thomas Lickona's (1996) six fundamental components of good character: caring, honesty, fairness, accountability, and respect for self and others. This study can assist educators in incorporating character education into their teaching techniques and provide them with the essential skills and information to foster the development of positive character traits in their students.
