Writing appears to be a productive English talent that most Indonesian students still struggle with, despite being one of the skills that must be mastered. This research aimed to investigate the students’ writing skill in descriptive text and to find out which aspects of writing improve the most after the students received the treatments by using the media of photograph. The sample in this study was class 7.2, which consists of 30 students of SMPN 1 Pringsewu in the academic year 2024/2025. The researcher used quantitative approach with pretest-posttest design that implemented writing test as instrument. The collected data were analyzed by using Social Science Statistical Package for Social Sciences’s Wilcoxon Test. The result showed significant improvement in students’ writing after the implementation of using photograph with a significant value of 0.000, which is lower than 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the H1 is accepted, while H0 is rejected. This means that students’writing skill in descriptive text significantly improved by using photograph. The mean of students’ scores also improved from 59 in the pretest to 74 in the posttest with the gain of 15.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition plays a vital role in language learning, yet many high school students struggle to expand their vocabulary effectively. This study investigates whether there is a significant difference in students’ vocabulary improvement after being taught using short stories. Conducted at SMAN 11 Bandar Lampung with tenth-grade students. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and post-test to measure students' vocabulary size before and after the intervention. A total of 35 students participates in the study, receiving vocabulary instruction through selected short stories. The Vocabulary Size Test (VST) assesses students' vocabulary mastery across six word-frequency levels. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary knowledge after the intervention. It is shown on the mean score of pre-test 2707 while the mean score of post-test 3610 which means higher than pre-test. The most substantial improvement appears in mid-frequency vocabulary (Third 1,000 to Fifth 1,000 levels), while gains in higher-level vocabulary (Sixth 1,000 level) are relatively lower. The conclusion is drawn based on the results obtained from the paired sample T-test. The significant sig. (2-tailed) of pre-test and post-test 0.000. The sig. (2- tailed) is 0.000 < 0.05 which means the pre-test and post-test has sig < a and can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. From these findings, there is an improvement in vocabulary mastery and it is concluded that using Short Stories can improve vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ and students’ perceptions of Muhadhoroh activities in enhancing English public speaking skills at the Islamic Boarding School Babul Hikmah. Muhadhoroh, a structured public speaking practice held regularly in pesantren environments, helps build confidence, fluency, and articulation. This qualitative research employed semi-structured interviews with five teachers and five students and was analyzed thematically using NVivo. Findings revealed that Muhadhoroh supports linguistic development, especially in pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. Nervousness and grammatical challenges were commonly noted. Teachers emphasized structure and accuracy, while students favored emotional comfort and small-group training. The "degree of fit" analysis showed high alignment between perceptions, though the emphasis on learning strategies differed. The study recommends integrating Muhadhoroh more intentionally in English programs as a culturally contextual language learning activity.

Abstract

One of the receptive skills is listening, which involves understanding the speaker's uttered words. The frequency with which learners practice hearing English language expressions has an impact on their listening abilities. One benefit is the abundance of resources available for use in teaching listening, such as easily accessible podcasts and YouTube videos. But teaching strategies and tactics are just as vital as the media, which is one of the key elements for listening skills. It is well recognized that S1 Language Education students’ listening skills still require development. The researcher administered listening practice which is called shadowing technique in which the students have to practice listening from the podcast, Youtube video and conversations. Then, they are assigned to repeat after the speakers’ utterance. The researchers conducted a pre-test of listening abilities before the listening class in order to conduct a pre-survey, but the outcomes were still far from the perfections. Their listening’s’ skill need to be improved. It is believed that by employing the Shadowing Technique, students' proficiency will grow. Thus, the goal of this study is to know the students’ perceptions on the use of shadowing technique in listening class of English Education students of FKIP University of Lampung. The research uses quantitative method with questionnaire as the instrument of the study. The sample of this study is S1 students of the English Education Study Program, FKIP University of Lampung, consisting of 27 of 2th semester students who take pre-intermediate listening course. The shadowing technique using YouTube videos and podcasts is expected to improve students' listening skills. The results have produced some interesting finding.

Abstract

Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) remains a significant barrier to effective language learning, often manifesting as fear, self-doubt, and avoidance of communication. While many studies have explored the causes and effects of FLA, few have investigated its potential solutions, particularly through the lens of social interaction. This study explores how language learners perceive the role of social interaction in reducing anxiety, and what forms of interaction are considered most supportive. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Indonesian learners aged 19–21 who had experienced FLA. Thematic analysis revealed three major findings: (1) learners overwhelmingly preferred paired practice over group activities due to reduced pressure and more personalized feedback; (2) interaction with lecturers often heightened anxiety because of hierarchical power dynamics and fear of evaluation; and (3) some learners never experienced moments of growing confidence, indicating fixed mindsets and a lack of positive reinforcement. The study highlights the importance of emotionally safe learning environments, anxiety-sensitive feedback, and structured peer interaction. These findings suggest that rethinking classroom dynamics—particularly by incorporating dyadic tasks and reducing evaluative stressors—may better support learners in managing FLA.
