Abstract

Speaking is a form of practicing how to communicate ideas. The students can convey their intentions by speaking. Many high school students struggled to articulate their thoughts. Their low vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar skills are what cause it. The teacher employed podcast resources in the teaching-learning process to address these issues. The instructor went over the basic grammar to put it into practice. In order to make it stick in their minds, the teacher instructed the student to look for the corresponding grammar in the transcript. Then, in order to expand their vocabulary, the student translate it. To improve the students' listening abilities, an audio recording was employed. The transcript was then read aloud. The students' newly acquired information is put to use in the text and audio descriptions of the images. The students took a pre-test before beginning this treatment, and they finished a post-test at the conclusion of it. A mixed-method approach was used to analyze the data that was found. It may be inferred that using podcast content improved the students' speaking proficiency. This kind of research can be used byteachers to teach relevant subjects. It also motivates other scholars to conduct deeper investigation.

Abstract

Blended learning has been considered one of the modern delivery modes of teaching and learning since the COVID-19 pandemic outreach. Although e-learning has been developing in most countries, its importance and needs were highly acknowledged by all educational organizations worldwide during COVID-19. All educational institutions worldwide run online or blended courses at some stage of their training. Regarding temporary demands such as the pandemic, learners had to study through online learning, and now it has become one of their regular learning modes. Meanwhile, educational institutions and their stakeholders were experiencing both online and blended programs and were provided opportunities to compare different delivery methods. Therefore, blended learning and teaching have become a more profitable way of teaching, especially in higher education. This article investigates the student’s perceptions of blended learning and its effectiveness based on the case of a Mongolian university. To achieve this goal, we conducted qualitative and quantitative research. The survey included 182 students from first-year to senior year to identify the challenges they faced, the experiences they gained, and their evaluation of the blended courses they enrolled in. The research questions were created on Google form, data was electronic via emails, and focused group interviews were conducted simultaneously. As a result of the survey, it has been revealed that there are several benefits and advantages to blended courses in the tertiary education sector of Mongolia. However, key factors such as the learning styles of Mongolian students, appropriate learning environment and course design, access to technology, and effective organization should be improved in the future in order to run the blended courses successfully.

Abstract

The study investigates the effectiveness of the Engage-Study-Activate (ESA) method on the speaking ability of eighth-grade students at Islamic Junior High Schools. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving a pre-test/post-test control group design. The study took place at Mts Sirajut Thalibin Racek Junior High School, which included two classes with a total of 48 students. Class VIII A, the experimental group, consisted of 24 female students, while Class VIII B, the control group, was made up of 24 male students. In this study, data collection was conducted using observation, tests (including pre-tests and post-tests), and documentation. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to analyze the data. The statistical analysis aimed to determine the mean, frequency, total score, standard deviation, and percentage. The pre-test values for the experimental and control classes were 57.29 and 48.33, respectively, while the post-test values were 83.96 for the experimental class and 60.00 for the control class. The average scores reveal that the experimental group, taught using the ESA method, outperformed the control group, which did not employ the ESA method. Based on data analysis and research findings, it can be concluded that the ESA method significantly improved students' speaking abilities. This is evidenced by the experimental group's average score of 76.36 compared to the control group's average score of 61.82. The mean value of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group, and the t-test value is 3.754, with a 2-tailed significance of 0.001. This suggests that the ESA method can be effectively integrated into speaking instruction in Islamic Junior High Schools to enhance students' speaking proficiency. The study's implications include the importance of adopting learner-centered approaches in language instruction to foster better communication skills in students.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the translation strategies employed by 5th semester students of the English Language Study Program at Sembilanbelas November Kolaka University when translating narrative texts. The authors sought to understand the students' approaches to translating these texts, as well as identify the errors they made throughout the process. By doing so, the authors hoped to provide valuable insights to students regarding the most effective translation strategies and assist them in recognizing and correcting their translation errors. A qualitative research design was utilized to examine the translation strategies of narrative texts. Data collection involved a translation test taken by 30 students, which served as the foundation for the authors' analysis. Based on the findings, the authors concluded that the students mainly implemented three translation strategies to translate narrative texts. The first strategy was literal translation which was used 84% of the time. Literal translation strategy means that the translators translate texts as is. The second strategy that was linguistic amplification. It was used 2.41% of the time. Linguistic amplification is a translation strategy where translators add more details into the TL. The third strategy that was used was generalization at 2.29%. Using this strategy means that the translators decide to use the general term of a word instead of translating it specifically based on the SL. The authors also found out that the most common errors that the students made while translating the texts they were given was incorrect word errors. In other words, the students incorrectly translated the words from the SL to the TL which may cause confusion for the readers. By doing this research it is expected become an insight about language teaching especially on the translation related to translation strategi that used to translate. The appropriate implementation of translation method in translating process will produce accurate translation. The findings of this study underscore the importance of providing targeted instruction on translation strategies for EFL students. By doing so, educators can help students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to produce high-quality translations that effectively convey the meaning and nuances of the source text.

Abstract

Form-focused deductive grammar learning approach is an effective way to facilitate language learners to memorize atomistic grammatical rules. However, beyond retaining isolated grammar rules, learners can benefit from using web based concept map, a visualized utility, to overlap grammar rules and achieve holistic comprehension. Therefore, this research looks into detail (total nodes, depth, and breadth) of how visual grammar concept map affects student’s examination score and aims to assist students to gain a holistic visual grammar learning through utilizing an online concept map software (CoCoing.info). One hundred and thirty-two college students were involved in this study for 18 weeks. The quantitative results revealed that students who created a more developed and holistic visual grammar concept map gained a better understanding of the grammatical rules. This was however not true for low achieving students. Therefore, more detailed analysis showed students with deeper depth and wider breadth achieved higher score. However, the high achieving students and low achieving students’ comparison study indicated that the depth of the visual grammar concept map is harder for students to construct and is a better indicator of achievement compared to breadth. The findings show that visual grammar concept map can facilitate traditional form-focused classroom.Â
