Abstract

This study determined the effectiveness of the innovations, interventions and strategies through Flexy Supplementary PGF Teaching and Learning Development Sheets in times of pandemic along with pronunciation, grammar and fluency. The subjects were 30 STEM students experimentally studied using validated written-administered language proficiency test, backed up by virtual meet-ups and observation. Statistical treatment used were weighted mean and Pearson-R. Findings revealed that the students’ language proficiency before the interventions conducted did not meet the expectations with 72.67%, Beginning Proficiency Level. Along pronunciation, 36.67% were Developing Proficiency and (100%) were both beginners in both grammar, and in fluency (66.67%). After the interventions conducted, the students’ language proficiency level along pronunciation, grammar and fluency is 87.40 or approaching proficiency level Statistics showed that the r- value of 0.8658 squared to 0.75 means strong effect of the implemented interventions, innovations, and strategies in enhancing the language proficiency of students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of a pronunciation learning model based on phonological constraints of regional languages ​​in pronouncing standard English for Sasak speaking students in West Nusa Tenggara. This research is a quantitative-descriptive designs with an experimental method. The object of this research is the sound of the English language produced by students of Sasak speakers at the English Study Program, FKIP University of Mataram. The research data was obtained using tests (pre-test and post-test). This study used a sample of 15 students who are native Sasak speakers. The instrument used is a pronunciation test which is given before (pretest) and after (posttest) learning is carried out. The test results are then analyzed using simple statistics that can be used to explain the changes before learning and after learning. The results of the analysis are then explained formally by using symbols and pictures and informally by using narration so that the findings of this study can be understood as well as possible. The results of this study indicate that learning pronunciation based on local language phonological constraints is effective in increasing students' awareness in anticipating the influence of local language sounds (mother tongue) in producing English.

Abstract

This study delves into the transformative potential of integrating gamification principles into vocabulary learning for 11th-grade students at SMAN 4 Mataram. Vocabulary acquisition is critical for academic progress, especially in preparation for standardized exams and college admissions, yet conventional methods often lack student engagement. Gamification, defined as the incorporation of game elements into non-gaming contexts, emerges as a promising strategy. The research explores how English teachers at SMAN 4 Mataram employ gamification, addressing questions about the types used, advantages gained, and obstacles faced. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study identifies two principal gamification classifications: content gamification, involving modifications to educational materials, and structural gamification, integrating game elements without altering content. Teachers utilize diverse gamification methodologies, fostering interactive learning environments. Challenges include accommodating diverse student abilities and aligning with evolving curriculum requirements. Theoretical implications span educational gamification, cognitive processes in vocabulary acquisition, and motivation theories. Practically, the study aims to enhance students' vocabulary skills, academic performance, and engagement, offering valuable insights for educators and policymakers in leveraging gamification for improved language learning outcomes.

This research was descriptive qualitative research on descriptive analysis. The research participants were students of the English Department. This research uses three research instruments, namely the researcher himself, narrative document files, and distribution sheet of process types. In collecting the data, the researcher used the documentation method and purposive sample technique to select the data. The data analysis was done with transitivity system analysis, adapted from the lecture of the Functional Grammar course, and then several steps based on thematic coding by Braune & Clark, were applied. The triangulation technique was used to get the dependability of the data through re-checking and expert judgment. The research found that the six process types in each text of the six narratives that were the data sample were not evenly used. Three process types, behavioral, verbal, and existential, are only used in several narrative texts written by English Department Students. Moreover, the six process types of transitivity system are realized in narrative texts written by English Department Students overall. The most dominant process is the material process, which occurs 155 times out of the 346 processes that emerged, followed by behavioral processes (8 or 2.31%), mental processes (100 or 28.90%), verbal processes (5 or 1.44%), relational processes (76 or 21.96%), and existential processes (2 or 0.58%).
