Abstract

Improving speaking fluency remains a challenge for EFL students in secondary schools, highlighting the need for innovative teaching methods. Fluency involves expressing oneself naturally, without frequent pauses or hesitations, and participating in conversations confidently. Educational YouTube videos, designed to teach or share knowledge, engage viewers through both visual and audio elements, making them effective learning tools. This study explored the use of YouTube videos to enhance speaking fluency among EFL students. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with 65 participants divided into an experimental group, using YouTube videos, and a control group, using educational podcasts, over the course of one month. Results indicated a significant improvement in speaking fluency, with the experimental group scoring 655 compared to the control group's 455. The findings suggest that using YouTube videos can be a more effective tool for improving speaking fluency than traditional methods. This study provides a reference for future research in the field, encouraging further exploration of innovative approaches to language teaching and fluency enhancement.

Abstract

This research aimed to design and develop TOEFL-based vocabulary-building materials for students at IAIN Palangka Raya. The research addresses the need for specialized English instructional materials for TOEFL preparation. Existing TOEFL preparation resources are often generic and not tailored to the specific needs of Indonesian students. The purpose of this research is to create materials grounded in the KKNI framework to enhance students' proficiency in reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar. Data were gathered through needs analysis, reference studies, material development, expert validation, and tryouts using observations, questionnaires, and interviews. The developed materials include sequences of tasks designed to incrementally build the language skills required for the TOEFL. Expert validation and empirical try-outs confirmed that the materials effectively address students' needs and support TOEFL preparation. This research demonstrates a systematic approach to developing targeted instructional materials that fill a gap in available TOEFL resources. Using these materials is expected to improve students' lexical knowledge and lead to higher TOEFL scores, providing a model for data-driven development of instructional materials based on local contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between self-esteem and reading comprehension among male students at SMK Karsa Mulya. It addresses a notable phenomenon where male students often exhibit lower self-esteem compared to their female counterparts. This lower self-esteem can potentially affect various academic achievements, including reading comprehension. The aim of this research is to determine if there is a significant correlation between students' self-esteem and reading comprehension. Correlational research using quantitative methods. 53 students from Class XI for the academic year 2022/2023. SPSS 26 with the product-moment correlation method. The correlation coefficient (r) between self-esteem and reading comprehension was found to be 0.811. The significance level (p-value) was 0.00, which is less than the alpha level of 0.05. The (r table) for a sample of 53 at the 0.05 significance level is 0.279. The calculated correlation coefficient (0.811) exceeds the critical value (0.279) and the p-value (0.00) is below 0.05, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The results indicate a strong positive correlation between self-esteem and reading comprehension among the male students studied. This suggests that higher self-esteem is associated with better reading comprehension skills. Improving students' self-esteem could potentially enhance their reading comprehension.
