Abstract

The integration of Information Technology (IT)-based applications in English language teaching has gained significant attention as a means to enhance students’ speaking skills, particularly in EFL contexts within rural areas. This study aimed to examine the effect of IT-based applications on the speaking skills of junior high school students in Rural Southeast Sulawesi. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving 82 students from grade VIII (44 students across two classes) and grade IX (38 students across two classes). The experimental group utilized various IT-based applications for interactive speaking practice, while the control group received conventional teacher-cantered instruction. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test speaking assessments and analysed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the speaking skills of students in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05), particularly in fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammatical accuracy. These results indicate that IT-based applications can effectively support the development of English-speaking proficiency among students in rural Indonesian schools. The study recommends the integration of technology-enhanced learning tools in the English curriculum to foster more engaging and effective language learning experiences.

Abstract

The integration of gamification into technology-based English language teaching (ELT) has emerged as a promising strategy to address low student engagement in EFL classrooms. This study investigated the effectiveness of gamification elements embedded in digital platforms to enhance student engagement among tenth-grade students at Baitul Qur’an Al Askar Madrasah Aliyah. Employing a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design, the research involved 36 students who participated in gamified English lessons utilizing platforms such as Kahoot! and Quizizz. Gamification elements, including points, badges, leaderboards, and instant feedback, were integrated into vocabulary, grammar, and speaking activities over a 12-week intervention period. Student engagement was measured using a validated 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from the Student Engagement Instrument, supplemented by classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis using paired-sample t-tests revealed a statistically significant increase in overall engagement scores from pre-test (M = 3.18, SD = 0.75) to post-test (M = 4.47, SD = 0.62), t(35) = -8.76, p < .001. Qualitative findings further indicated heightened motivation, active participation, and collaborative learning. The study concludes that gamification in technology-based ELT effectively boosts student engagement in Islamic senior high school settings. Practical implications for EFL teachers and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of word puzzles as an innovative teaching medium in improving seventh-grade students’ vocabulary mastery at SMP Muhammadiyah Pangsid, Indonesia. The research was driven by the students’ persistently low vocabulary proficiency, which stemmed from conventional, teacher-centered methods that lacked engagement and failed to promote active learning. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 21 seventh-grade students selected through total sampling. Vocabulary mastery was assessed using a 50-item test consisting of 10 multiple-choice items and 40 word puzzle items covering syllabus-based topics (animals, school objects, occupations, parts of the body, and daily activities). Data collected from pretest and posttest were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, given the non-normal distribution of the data. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the intervention. The mean score rose substantially from 16.33 in the pretest to 72.62 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test produced a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These results confirm that word puzzles effectively enhance vocabulary acquisition by increasing student motivation, participation, and retention in an EFL context. The study recommends the integration of word puzzles as a practical, low-cost, and engaging alternative to traditional vocabulary instruction, particularly in junior high schools with limited resources.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is fundamental to English language proficiency, yet many Indonesian senior high school students continue to face challenges in acquiring adequate vocabulary due to conventional teaching methods. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of digital platforms in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at SMA Al Quran Wahdah Islamiyah Kendari. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 23 students from Class XI selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of systematic vocabulary learning activities utilizing selected digital platforms over an eight-week period. Data were collected through a validated vocabulary achievement test administered before and after the treatment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores following the implementation of digital platforms (p < 0.05). Students also reported higher motivation and engagement during the learning process. This study concludes that digital platforms constitute an effective, accessible, and student-centered tool for improving vocabulary acquisition in EFL contexts. The results offer practical implications for English teachers and curriculum developers seeking to integrate technology in technology-limited or faith-based secondary schools in Indonesia.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of AI chatbot-based English learning methods, specifically using TalkPal AI, in improving eleventh-grade students’ speaking skills at SMAN 11 Sidrap, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed for the quantitative phase, while semi-structured interviews provided qualitative insights into students’ perceptions. The experimental group (n = 18 for post-test) engaged in interactive speaking practice with TalkPal AI, while the control group (n = 14) received conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests assessed using Brown’s (2004) rubric across five components fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence and interviews with ten purposively selected students from the experimental group. Quantitative analysis revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher post-test mean score (M = 23.17) compared to the control group (M = 12.57). The Mann-Whitney U test confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of the AI chatbot intervention. Qualitative findings showed overwhelmingly positive perceptions: students reported increased confidence, motivation, fluency, pronunciation, and reduced speaking anxiety, attributing these gains to the chatbot’s interactive, non-judgmental, and flexible learning environment. Minor challenges included unstable internet connections and initial familiarity with the application. The results demonstrate that AI chatbot-based methods, such as TalkPal AI, constitute an effective and innovative approach for enhancing EFL learners’ speaking proficiency in secondary education contexts. Pedagogical implications for technology-integrated language teaching and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of reading habits at home and the availability of reading materials on the reading literacy ability of sixth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 1 Kulo. Employing a quantitative explanatory research design, the study utilized saturated sampling involving the entire population of 23 sixth-grade students. Data were collected using questionnaires to measure reading habits at home and the availability of reading materials, along with a standardized reading literacy test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The results revealed that: (1) reading habits at home had a positive and significant effect on reading literacy ability (t = 3.12, p = 0.005 < 0.05); (2) the availability of reading materials also exerted a positive and significant effect (t = 2.45, p = 0.021 < 0.05); and (3) both variables simultaneously had a significant influence (F = 18.76, p = 0.000 < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.652) indicated that 65.2% of the variance in students’ reading literacy ability could be explained by the two variables, while the remaining 34.8% was influenced by other factors. The findings underscore the critical role of home-based reading practices and resource availability in enhancing elementary students’ reading literacy. Collaboration among parents, teachers, and schools is essential to create a literacy-rich home environment that optimally supports students’ reading development.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language teaching has become increasingly important to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. This study examined the effect of interactive video-based learning on students’ English learning outcomes at SMA N 2 Kulisusu Utara, Southeast Sulawesi. Employing a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, the research involved the entire population of 17 students in Class XI. Interactive videos, developed using Canva and Edpuzzle with embedded quizzes, subtitles, and interactive tasks aligned with the 2022 Merdeka Curriculum, were implemented over eight weeks. English learning outcomes were measured through a validated achievement test covering vocabulary mastery, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening skills. Data were analysed using paired sample t-test with SPSS version 26. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ English learning outcomes after the intervention (pretest mean = 64.12, SD = 8.45; post-test mean = 81.76, SD = 7.23; t = 9.87, p < 0.001). Additionally, students reported high positive perceptions toward the learning media. These findings indicate that interactive video-based learning is an effective and engaging instructional strategy for improving English proficiency in senior high school settings, particularly in resource-limited madrasah environments. The study recommends wider adoption of interactive video technology and further research with larger samples and control groups.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrating Wordwall in enhancing students’ enthusiasm and English vocabulary achievement among eighth-grade students at UPT SMP Negeri 4 Panca Rijang. Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in language learning; however, many students experience low motivation and limited engagement due to conventional teaching methods. Therefore, the use of interactive digital media is considered a potential solution to address this issue. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught using Wordwall and a control group taught through conventional methods. The sample consisted of 45 students. Data were collected through a vocabulary achievement test (pre-test and post-test) and an observation rubric measuring students’ enthusiasm. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired and independent sample t-tests. The findings revealed that students taught using Wordwall showed a significant improvement in both vocabulary achievement and learning enthusiasm compared to those taught using conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated higher levels of active participation, motivation, and cognitive engagement during the learning process. The integration of Wordwall as a digital game-based learning medium is effective in improving students’ enthusiasm and vocabulary achievement. It is recommended that English teachers incorporate interactive digital tools such as Wordwall to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relation between students’ frequency of watching English content on social media and their vocabulary mastery in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this research involved 16 eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Sidrap. Data were collected through a vocabulary test and structured interviews. The vocabulary test was used to provide a preliminary description of students’ vocabulary levels, while interviews explored students’ exposure to English content, viewing frequency, and learning experiences outside the classroom. The findings reveal that students who frequently engage with English content on social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram demonstrate higher levels of vocabulary mastery compared to those with lower exposure. The frequency of engagement ranged from daily to occasional viewing, with content types including both educational and entertainment materials. Repeated exposure to authentic and contextualized language input was found to contribute significantly to vocabulary acquisition. Furthermore, the study indicates that social media serves as an effective informal learning environment that supports autonomous learning and enhances students’ vocabulary development. These findings suggest that integrating social media-based exposure into language learning strategies can be beneficial in improving students’ vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the differences in eleventh-grade students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts when taught using printed and digital media, as well as to determine which medium is more effective. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group taught using printed media and a control group taught using digital media. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 9 Sidrap in the 2025/2026 academic year, with a total sample of 36 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test administered as pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, homogeneity testing, independent sample t-test, and effect size (Cohen’s d). The findings revealed a significant difference between the two groups, with a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). The experimental group achieved a higher mean score (87.78) compared to the control group (77.50). Moreover, the effect size (d = 1.24) indicated a large effect. These results suggest that printed media is more effective than digital media in improving students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts. This study provides empirical evidence for teachers and educators in selecting appropriate instructional media in EFL classrooms.
