Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out the effect of podcast or VOA podcast in improving the eight grade students English listening skill. This research utilized a sample of 30 students from a class, comprising 13 males and 17 females. Data collection for this research involved the use of measurement techniques, specifically the gap-filling test as the instrument. The collected data was analyzed to assess the impact of podcasts on students' listening skills. The results of the study revealed a significant improvement in students' listening skills with a t-value of 7.131, exceeding the critical value of 2.045 (t-value = 7.131, df=29). This indicated a significant impact of using podcasts in EFL students' listening learning (7.131 > 2.045) with a medium effect size of 0.77. Therefore, the findings suggest that the use of podcasts effectively contributed to the improvement of students' listening skills.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of a combination of question generation and mind mapping strategy toward reading comprehension of descriptive text. It was a quasi-experimental study at a private junior high school in Pontianak – Indonesia thatinvolved one control group and one experimental group. This applied cluster random to take the sample. The treatments were given four times. The data was collected through the reading comprehension test given to the control and experimental group. The data wereanalyzed with a t-test. It was to analyze the significance of the treatment. The research result showed that the t value isbigger than the ttable or t value > ttable. In short, the t value was 6.214 whilethe ttable was 1.9983, that the t value was biggerthan the ttable (6.214 > 1.9983) and the value of effect size was 1.49 meaning the combination between question generation and mind mapping strategy affected reading comprehension of descriptive text very strongly. Therefore, the combination of those strategies can be used to teach reading comprehension.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify types of sentences and their frequency contained in the novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in order to help high school students to improve their ability in understanding and practicing English sentence structure. This research was a descriptive study. The corpus of this research was the novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” which is written by Lewis Carroll. All of the declarative sentences of the conversation in all of the novel's chapters were analyzed in this research which include formal and informal sentences, direct sentences, and nominal and verbal sentences. This research used open coding and focused coding as the procedure of data analysis. The corpus was sorted for complete declarative sentences. After that, they were grouped and coded based on their types of sentences and subcategories. Then, each type of sentence’s frequency of occurrence was calculated. The finding found that there are four sentence types used by the novel, which are: simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. The total declarative sentences found are 440 sentences. Simple sentence becomes the most frequent sentence type used by the novel and complex compound sentence becomes the least. This research covered the information for students about sentence types they need to master before reading the novel as one of their media to learn and practice sentence structure.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the error level of Ketapang Malay students in the English Education Department in pronouncing eight English fricative consonants and the dominant errors produced. Data were collected through performance tests using qualitative descriptive methodology. There were eight sentences in the text with 24 fricative consonants divided into initial, medial, and final positions, with the total transcriptions are 168 words. The findings showed that of the seven students, the pronunciation error was 52.38%. Based on this point, the students' error level is ''Fair”. The dominant errors occurred in labiodental voiced fricative [v] and interdental voiced fricative [ð]. The students scored poorly for these consonants because they substituted the sound with bilabial stop [p], labiodental fricative [f], alveolar stop [d], and alveolar stop [t]. In conclusion, this researcher underlined the error is caused by unfamiliarity with the sound itself.  The absence of some fricative consonant sounds in Ketapang Malay is also a major problem and the influence of spelling and pronunciation between the L1 and L2 also causes students to make errors because students tend to substitute with sounds that are easier to pronounce.
