Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning activity observed in the teaching of the Indonesian language, particularly article writing, in the first semester of Class XII Science 1 at SMA Negeri 1 Merangin during the 2023/2024 academic year. Out of 31 students, only a few showed good learning outcomes and actively answered the teacher’s questions, while others remained passive, hesitant to ask questions, or distracted during lessons. The aim of this classroom action research (CAR) is to describe the improvement in students' article writing skills through the application of the 3M method (Meniru–Imitating, Mengolah–Processing, and Mengembangkan–Developing). The study was conducted over two cycles during the semester. The results showed that the 3M method effectively improved students' article writing skills. From Cycle I to Cycle II, there was a 12.09% improvement. Overall, from the pre-cycle to Cycle II, the percentage of students achieving scores above the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM) of 75 increased by 39%. Specifically, there was a 25.81% improvement from the pretest to Cycle I and a further 12.09% increase from Cycle I to Cycle II. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the 3M method be applied to enhance article writing skills among Class XII students at SMA Negeri 1 Merangin.

Abstract

This study utilized both correlational and comparative research methodologies to investigate the relationship between teacher immediacy behaviors and university students’ willingness to communicate (WTC) in English classes, as well as to assess potential gender- based differences in students’ perceptions of these behaviors and their WTC of a private university in North Sulawesi. The sample consisted of 275 undergraduate university students enrolled in English courses, ranging from basic to advanced English levels. The analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between teacher immediacy behaviors and students' WTC in English classes, with a p-value of .000 and r = 0.392. Furthermore, the results indicated no significant gender differences in students’ perceptions of teacher immediacy behaviors or their WTC in English classes. Therefore, cultivating a warm, non-threatening classroom climate where students feel emotionally safe can further amplify the benefits of teacher immediacy and promote greater participation in English communication tasks.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study examined the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in developing Grade VII students' skimming skills for descriptive text comprehension at SMPN 18 Bandung over four weeks. A total of 62 students participated in the study, divided equally into an experimental group (n=31) and a control group (n=31). Both groups were assessed using pre-test and post-test instruments. The experimental group, which received instruction through the PBL approach, showed a statistically significant improvement in their reading comprehension scores—from a pre-test average of 27.387 to a post-test average of 40.354 (gain = 12.967). In contrast, the control group, which received conventional instruction, improved from 25.354 to 36.387 (gain = 11.032). The results indicate that the PBL approach is more effective than traditional methods in enhancing students’ skimming skills and comprehension of descriptive texts. It is suggested that English teachers consider implementing Project-Based Learning as an alternative instructional strategy to improve reading comprehension and overall academic achievement.

Abstract

This study addressed the persistent challenge in English language teaching where students have theoretical knowledge of grammar but struggle to apply it in practical communication. The research aimed to analyse the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in improving the grammar skills of first-year English Education students at IAIN Parepare. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 16 first-year students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of five TBLT sessions structured around a three-phase framework (pre-task, task cycle, language focus) targeting five grammatical tenses (Simple Present, Present Continuous, Simple Past, Simple Future and Present Perfect). Data were collected via structured oral interviews before and after the intervention, with responses scored using a five-point grammatical accuracy rubric. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in students' grammatical accuracy, with mean scores increasing from 46.50 (Average category) to 66.75 (Good category), representing a 43.5% improvement (p < 0.05). Analysis of individual tenses showed that tenses commonly used in everyday communication (Simple Present, Present Continuous) showed greater improvement (44.1% and 43.4% respectively) than more complex tenses such as Present Perfect (39.7%). The results suggest that TBLT effectively bridges the gap between declarative and procedural grammar knowledge by providing authentic communicative contexts for grammar practice, although complex grammatical structures may require extended practice and additional form-focused instruction for mastery.

Abstract

This study intends to examine how junior high school students see the use of the Lola Speak application to enhance their English speaking abilities. Students' subjective experiences were investigated using a qualitative approach and a case study methodology. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were used to gather information from 24 first-graders at a Medan junior high school. Ten closed-ended statements that assessed the application's usefulness, simplicity of use, and effect on students' confidence in their ability to speak English made up the questionnaire. The majority of pupils gave the application positive feedback, according to the data. Up to 66.7% of students concurred that the application's speaking practice feature enhanced their ability to communicate, and 58.3% said that using it increased their confidence when speaking English. The application was also thought to be engaging, user-friendly, and capable of boosting motivation for learning. Some students, however, claimed that in order to better accommodate different learning styles, more features were required and that there were technical limitations. The study's findings emphasize how critical it is to create application-based learning tools that are more flexible and sensitive to user requirements.

Abstract

The implementation of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) has become a global benchmark in language education, yet its contextual adaptability remains a critical issue, particularly in non-European settings such as Indonesia. This study investigates how CEFR descriptors can be systematically adapted to construct reading test specifications aligned with the learning objectives of EFL reading courses in an Indonesian university context. Focusing on the English Education Study Program at Universitas Kristen Artha Wacana, the researchers employed a qualitative descriptive approach through document analysis of three core reading course syllabi: Intensive Reading 1, Intensive Reading 2, and Extensive Reading. Instructional objectives from these syllabi were mapped against four CEFR reading descriptor scales to determine alignment with proficiency levels ranging from A2 to B2. The researchers then designed test specifications based on these alignments and validated them through expert judgment involving two language assessment specialists. A structured validation checklist was used to assess construct relevance, task appropriateness, text length, and micro-skill inclusion. The findings demonstrated a logical progression of reading proficiency across the courses and confirmed that CEFR descriptors can be meaningfully adapted to the Indonesian EFL context. While the study provides a foundational model for CEFR-aligned reading assessment, it acknowledges limitations related to scope, piloting, and generalizability. Future studies are recommended to conduct empirical trials and explore the integration of digital assessment tools. This research offers practical implications for EFL lecturers and curriculum developers seeking to improve language assessment practices in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

This study investigates the students’ language attitude towards English and its correlation with students speaking skills of tenth-grade senior high school students in Bangli, Indonesia. Seventy-two tenth-grade students from one public school in Bangli, Indonesia, participated in this research. In collecting the data, the students answered a language attitude questionnaire adapted from Li & Wei (2022) and Siringo-ringo et al. (2023) for language attitude data and took a speaking performance test with the rubric adopted from O’Malley & and Pierce (1996). Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to determine the students’ language attitude levels and its correlation towards students speaking skills. The result from this study shows that the students’ language attitudes are positive in cognitive and affective aspects and fair in conative aspects. The correlational analysis results show a moderate and significant correlation between students’ language attitudes and speaking skills. (r = .517, p = .000). This result indicates that students’ language attitude still contributes enough to influencing students’ speaking skills. Keywords: language attitudes; speaking skills, correlational study
