It covered students’ literal comprehension, inferential comprehension, and critical comprehension. This research was designed into two groups; the Experimental group and Control group. Each group consisted of 20 students. The sample was chosen by using the simple random technique used lottery technique. The data were collected through multiple-choice reading tests both in the experimental group and control group namely pre-test and post-test then analyzed by using an independent-sample t-test and One way ANOVA. The result of the research showed that (1) the use of a literature circle was more effective than the directed reading activity method in improving students reading comprehension. It was revealed that the students’ improvement in post-test with a mean score of 65.30 was better than the mean score of pre-test 52.85 in the experimental group. There was also a statistically significant difference between the mean score of the post-test of the experimental group and the control group in each level of comprehension. The largest different was on inferential level (67.50 > 56.50), followed by literal level (65.50 > 64.00), and then critical level (61.50 > 60.50). (2) based on the result of one-way ANOVA from the three levels of reading comprehension in the experimental group, none of them is significantly different, or the three levels of reading comprehension almost have the same average score (l = i = c).

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has swept across the world and affected all sectors. Likewise, this forces educators to innovate in supporting teaching and learning activities in education, especially in remote areas. Therefore, this study attempted to design a learning model based on a needs and situation analysis for schools located in remote regions of Maluku. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate), which in this article only presents two stages, namely define and design. The research sample consisted of 170 subjects from five high schools in Buru Regency, Maluku. The data collected used a situational and needs analysis questionnaire, which was analyzed descriptively. The analysis results are used to design appropriate learning models for schools in remote areas. This study found that a learning model suitable for remote areas is a multi-blended learning model. This model is expected to contribute proportionally to the government and schools implementing learning in remote areas.

Abstract

This study investigates student perceptions of short video warm-ups used at the beginning of classroom sessions in a higher education English for Professional Purposes (ESP) course. A total of 65 first-semester undergraduate students from seven academic disciplines participated in the study. Using a convergent mixed methods design, both quantitative data from Likert-scale evaluations and qualitative data from open-ended responses were analyzed. Quantitative findings indicated high levels of agreement that the videos increased motivation (M = 4.26), were relevant to the lesson topics (M = 4.26), and aided comprehension (M = 4.23). Thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed six key themes: emotional activation and improved learning atmosphere; cognitive orientation and topic relevance; preferences for engaging media formats; enhanced engagement through real-world connections; technical and language barriers; and suggestions for pedagogical improvement. Students emphasized that short, engaging, and relatable videos helped them transition into learning mode, made the class atmosphere more enjoyable, and supported their understanding of the material. They also expressed a desire for more consistent and interactive integration of video content. The study concludes that short video warm-ups, when well designed and pedagogically aligned, can serve as effective tools for enhancing both cognitive and affective dimensions of learning. The findings offer practical implications for instructors, curriculum designers, and institutions seeking to foster active and student-centered learning environments through digital media.

Abstract

English language proficiency plays a vital role in supporting students’ academic performance, especially in higher education settings where English is both the subject of study and a medium for learning. This study aimed to examine the relationship between English proficiency and academic performance among undergraduate students in the English Education Department at Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 90 students whose English proficiency was measured using the English Proficiency Test for Internal Control (EPTIC), while academic performance was represented by their Grade Point Average (GPA). Data analysis using Pearson correlation revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship (r = 0.664, p < 0.001) between English proficiency and GPA. Linear regression analysis further indicated that English proficiency predicted 44.1% of the variance in academic performance. These findings highlight the importance of English proficiency as a predictor of students’ academic success. The results also support the use of institutional language assessments like EPTIC for evaluating academic readiness. It is recommended that higher education institutions provide structured language support programs to enhance student learning outcomes. Future studies should investigate the contributions of individual language skills and other influencing factors.

Abstract

The ability to communicate in English is very important in the era of globalization. However, many students face difficulties communicating in the language due to a lack of confidence. Self-confidence greatly affects students' speaking abilities. Studies show that confident students are more active and speak more often. Students lack confidence because traditional education methods are too theory-centered. Project-Based Learning (PBL) enhances students' confidence, critical thinking, and speaking skills by involving them in group projects.This research was conducted on 19 students at MA Bustanul Ulum. Through observation and interviews, it was found that PBL increases students' confidence in speaking English. Although there are challenges, such as shyness and group conflicts, these can be overcome with the help of the teacher. This research proves that PBL is effective in improving students' speaking skills.
