Abstract

This study examines the impact of a language program on the speaking skills of students at UIN SYAHADA Padangsidimpuan. With English proficiency being crucial for global communication, the research aimed to assess the program's effectiveness in improving students' speaking abilities. Using an ex post facto research design, 43 English department students were assessed. Speaking tests were administered at the start and end of the semester, and the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Findings showed a modest increase in mean scores, indicating some positive effect of the program. However, greater variability in post-test scores and a Wilcoxon test significance value of 0.146 suggested no statistically significant enhancement in speaking skills. This study underscores the necessity for customized interventions and enhanced teaching strategies to improve the efficacy of language programs in universities.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Investigating the contribution of teachers' creative self-efficacy and self-esteem is crucial for enhancing creative teaching practices, particularly within the framework of Indonesia's Merdeka curriculum, which emphasizes the development of students' creativity and innovative skills. This research aimed to find out how is the contribution of teachers’ self –efficacy and self –esteem to creative teaching by using multiple regression analysis techniques. The participants of this research were six EFL teachers from senior high school Lengayang. Questionnaires and observation checklist were the instruments in this research. The results show that creative self-efficacy positively and significantly contributes to creative teaching, indicating that higher creative self-efficacy leads to better creative teaching practices. On the other hand, teachers' self-esteem contributes negatively creative teaching, suggesting that excessively high self-esteem may hinder creativity in teaching.  Meanwhile, creative self-efficacy and self-esteem simultaneously contributes 81.2 percent towards creative teaching. Fostering these creative behaviors can create an engaging and supportive learning environment, enhancing student outcomes. Social support from principals and colleagues, along with a positive school climate, is crucial in boosting teachers' self-esteem and creative self-efficacy, thereby improving the quality of teaching and learning.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a digital storytelling-based documentary video method in developing critical thinking skills on reading comprehension of secondary school students, considering learning style as a moderator. The method was applied to the experimental group, while the control group used the conventional method. The pretest results showed that the experimental group had an average score of 84.7, higher than the control group, which had an average score of 81.36. After the treatment, the experimental group showed a significant improvement with an average posttest score of 87.63, compared to the control group, which had an average score of 83.7. ANOVA analysis showed that learning style had a significant effect on critical thinking ability (sig = 0.036), while membership in the treatment or control group showed no significant effect (sig = 0.581). No significant interaction between learning style and group was found (sig = 0.171), indicating that the effect of learning style on critical thinking development was independent of the treatment group. This study confirmed that customizing learning methods according to students' learning styles can improve critical thinking skills in reading comprehension. However, the effectiveness of this method was not significantly affected by membership in the treatment or control group. Further research is needed to explore how this method can be optimized for different groups of students.

Abstract

Code switching and Politeness strategy are elements of communication that significantly influence classroom interaction. This paper was to reveal code switching including the reason of code switching as well as how it functions as politeness strategy in EFL classroom interaction. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive method. This research was based on the observation conducted in Universitas Negeri Makassar, in 2022. The research subject was 2 English Education classes that employed group presentation as the learning strategy. It consisted of 31 students for each class. To collect the data, the researcher recorded the classroom presentation. The recordings were then transcribed and analyzed by using discourse analysis approach. The reason of code switching was analyzed based on the theory by Hoffman (1991), and the politeness strategy was based on the rule of Politeness strategy by Brown and Levinson (1987). The result showed that code switching was used by students as politeness strategy during group presentation, and it was reflected in some maxims that were maxim of manner, maxim of relation, quality maxim, and quantity maxim. Finding of this research was significant in expanding ideas and insight about code switching that is actually can be used as politeness strategy in classroom interaction, particularly in group presentation.

Abstract

One-way communication, where teachers dominate classroom discourse, can significantly hinder effective teaching and learning. This limited interaction often stems from students' low willingness to communicate, often due to fear of judgment or ridicule for making mistakes. This reluctance to engage can negatively impact their academic performance. Therefore, it becomes the teacher's responsibility to identify and implement appropriate methods to address this issue. Cooperative learning emerges as a promising approach, as it centers on student-focused group activities. By employing this method, student interaction can be enhanced, reducing anxiety and fostering the development of essential social skills. This research aims to study the effectiveness of cooperative learning in promoting willingness to communicate orally. This research employed a quantitative methodology. The gathered data was meticulously tabulated and analyzed using paired t-tests to determine the significance of cooperative learning in improving students' oral communication readiness. Additionally, independent t-tests were conducted to examine any differences between the experimental and control classes. The study involved a sample of students from SMK Plus Darussurur. The results of the paired t-tests revealed a positive influence of cooperative learning on students' willingness to communicate orally. Furthermore, a significant difference in post-test scores was observed between the experimental and control classes. These findings provide compelling evidence that cooperative learning fosters positive interactions, which in turn cultivate increased willingness to communicate orally. By encouraging active student participation and collaboration, cooperative learning creates a supportive environment where students feel empowered to express themselves without fear of judgment, leading to improved academic.

Abstract

This research investigates the symbolic representation of the ulos in Batak culture from an ecolinguistic perspective, highlighting its role as a cultural artifact deeply intertwined with language, tradition, and the environment. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with weavers, Raja Perhata (cultural experts), and traditional leaders who possess deep knowledge of the ulos. The study focuses on specific Toba Batak ulos, such as Ragi Hidup, Ragi Hotang, and Sibolang, each symbolizing unique aspects of Batak values and worldviews. Ragi Hidup conveys blessings for happiness, offspring, and longevity, particularly during wedding ceremonies, while Ragi Hotang is associated with respect and honor, and Sibolang signifies the act of paying homage. These symbolic meanings are intricately embedded in the patterns, colors, and material composition of the ulos, reflecting their significance in Batak society. The findings reveal that the ulos is not merely a textile but a vessel of cultural meaning, encompassing prayers for prosperity, social status, and well-being. Through the lens of ecolinguistics, this study demonstrates how the ulos, as a cultural symbol, contributes to the sustainability of Batak traditions by encoding and perpetuating ecological and social values within its symbolic framework. The research underscores the critical importance of preserving these traditional symbols to maintain the cultural heritage and identity of the Bataknese people while offering broader insights into the role of language and culture in sustaining community values.
