Abstract

The development of speaking skills among high school students is essential for effective communication and future success. This study investigates students' perceptions of the impact of participating in English speech competitions on their speaking abilities at SMA Istiqamah Muhammadiyah Samarinda. Additionally, it explores the challenges that hinder students from maximizing the benefits of these competitions. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from students who participated in English competitions over the past two years. The research utilized questionnaires adapted from previous studies and semi-structured interviews to gather insights from the students. Supplementary data were obtained through documentation of students' assignments from the competitions. The findings reveal that English speech competitions significantly enhance students' speaking skills by increasing their confidence, enriching their vocabulary, and improving their pronunciation and fluency. However, factors such as limited practice opportunities, anxiety, and inadequate feedback mechanisms were identified as barriers to achieving the full benefits. This study highlights the importance of incorporating structured and supportive speech competition programs in the curriculum to foster better speaking skills among students.

Abstract

Writing in English is still challenging and requires a strong ability in grammar. Besides, communicating ideas through the English language is still difficult for some students. This study aims to analyse the students’ perceptions through the use of the Grammarly application to help with writing skills and the TED Talk application to help improve speaking skills. The use of these applications is to help students in English skills that have grown these recent days, as well as the development of technology. Research participants include 15 students of SMKS Yapim Pekanbaru, department of Network and Computer Engineering. The research methods for the study included a questionnaire, as well as in-depth interviews that were conducted to explore the students’ perception of using TED Talk and Grammarly applications. Both applications will make students more involved in learning English, especially speaking and writing. Because of its practicality dan ease of access, the students are not difficult to use. The conclusion is that there have been some students who can write their ideas with the help of the Grammarly application and also watch TED Talk, then present them in front of the class.

Abstract

The genre-based approach (GBA) was one of the writing approaches that helps and facilitates students to explore a focused piece of writing. When students were required to create such a writing form, most of them tended to have difficulties in constructing structured writing. The GBA approach allowed students to improve their writing skills by following specific steps. This systematic literature review reviewed research articles discussing the improvements made in students’ writing outcomes by implementing the GBA. Fifteen research articles from nine different countries were selected from the ERIC, Google Scholars, and Semantic Scholars online article databases. They were analyzed to determine improvements in students’ writing skills based on the results of the research in these nine countries. The results showed that students investigated from research articles in the nine countries showed three types of improvement in writing: writing performance, writing achievement, and writing attitude. Specifically, 8 of 15 research results show that the implementation of GBA provides benefits to improve writing performance. Meanwhile, 5 of 15 research results mention that the students’ writing achievement in terms of their writing score is much better after implementing the GBA. Finally, two research showed an improvement in their writing attitude after the GBA implementation. The conclusion of this research indicates that the utilization of GBA can help and facilitate students to be more productive as well as improve their writing

Abstract

This study investigates the types and motivations of cyberbullying expressions used by Twitter users in the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber drama. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research analyses transcripts of Twitter comments to understand the underlying motives behind the observed bullying behaviour. The findings have revealed several key motives including fanaticism towards idols. Strong identification with and defence of preferred idols can induce aggressive responses towards perceived threats, leading to attacks on rival fans or their idols. Emotional reactivity that encouuunters tweets perceived as disrespectful or harmful towards their idols can trigger anger and frustration, driving users to engage in cyberbullying as a means of retaliation. Witnessing the success or popularity of other idol groups or their fans can trigger feelings of jealousy, prompting some users to engage in cyberbullying to diminish their rivals' perceived advantages. Engaging in aggressive online behaviour and "winning" arguments against perceived opponents can provide some users with a sense of validation and satisfaction, further reinforcing the cycle of cyberbullying.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of green economy-based English language learning on environmental awareness among students at Al Washliyah University Medan. Recognizing the role of education in addressing global environmental challenges, the research aims to assess how incorporating green economy principles into English learning influences students' attitudes and behaviors towards sustainability. The study employs a sample of 32 students and uses multiple linear regression analysis to examine the effects of promotion and environmentally friendly behavior on English language learning. Results show that while promotion does not significantly affect English learning, eco-friendly behavior has a substantial positive influence. Together, promotion and eco-friendly behavior account for 65.2% of the variance in English learning based on the green economy. The findings underscore the potential of integrating green economy concepts into educational curricula to promote environmental awareness and foster sustainable behaviors in higher education.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the learning style tendencies exhibited by students in their pursuit of listening and speaking skills for general communication at UKI Toraja, as well as to examine the correlation between these learning style tendencies and their achievement in speaking and listening skills. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with a sample size of 35 students, analyzed using SPSS 26. The results of the questionnaire indicated a very strong correlation, ranging from 0.80 to 1.000. It revealed that students possessed three distinct learning styles when acquiring listening and speaking skills for general communication: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Each of these learning styles exhibited a highly significant correlation with students' achievements. Specifically, the correlation between the visual learning style and student achievement was 0.932, signifying a very strong relationship. The audio learning style exhibited a correlation of 0.885 with student learning achievement, also indicating a very strong connection. Lastly, the kinesthetic learning style displayed a correlation of 0.930 with student achievement, further underscoring a very strong relationship. These findings demonstrate that each learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) is significantly correlated with student achievement. Therefore, it can be concluded that H1 is accepted, as each learning style exhibits a strong correlation with students' achievement in listening and speaking skills

Abstract

learning motivation, especially in the development of speaking skills in higher education. The purpose of this paper is to understand the students’ motivation in learning speaking skills in higher education using culturally responsive teaching identified as CRT. In this research the researchers used a qualitative method and used open-ended interviews to collect the data, conducting interviews with three participants, all students of an English language department. During the interviews, it was kept in mind that the focus was to gather information about the student’s experiences and perspectives on the adopted culturally responsive teaching approach. In this case, thematic analysis was used to analyze the collected data, since it helps to focus on the main themes and the repeated patterns that exist in the data collected. Three major areas were discussed as follows. The first theme is positive experiences with the culturally responsive teaching approach which indicates the positive experiences of the students as the students were made to feel valued and listened to in a learning environment, which incorporates student’s cultural realities as they learn. The second theme is appreciation of cultural diversity emphasizing that the students’ cultural background should be valued and used to increase their desire and interest in learning. The third constructed theme is the positive relationship with motivation, which depicts the clerical correlation between a culturally responsive teaching approach and students’ motivation level. Implications of the findings or discussion of the study These findings imply that culturally responsive teaching could improve students’ motivation toward learning speaking skills because of the more positive classroom environment. The findings of the research add to the existing literature on teaching practices for enhanced learning among college students, particularly arguing that there is a need to consider the cultural identities of students as important determinants of teaching practice. Subsequent studies should take up the following issues in understanding the long-term effects culturally responsive teaching yields on nearly all facets of language learning and the broader application of this pedagogical approach in various learning environments. The novelty of this research is that it emphasizes the importance of recognizing and integrating students’ cultural backgrounds as a key element in creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
