Abstract

Bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran wajib yang harus dijawab oleh siswa ketika Ujian Nasional. Soal Bahasa Inggris yang diujikan pada Ujian Nasional yaitu berupa teks dan grammar. Di SMA Widhya Brata Mengwi, siswa kelas XII merasa kesulitan menjawab soal Bahasa Inggris karena mereka kurang memiliki pemahaman cara menjawab soal pada teks yang lumayan panjang. Selain itu, kurangnya pengetahuan tentang kosa kata Bahasa Inggris juga mempengaruhi pengetahuan siswa dalam menjawab soal. Target luaran yang ingin dicapai adalah siswa mampu mengetahui cara menjawab soal teks Bahasa Inggris dalam menghadapi Ujian Nasional. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan sosialisasi yang terdiri dari perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan evaluasi, serta refleksi. Sebelum kegiatan dimulai, siswa diberikan pre-test menjawab soal Bahasa Inggris. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah (1) nilai rata-rata pre-test siswa yaitu 46.8 dan setelah diberikan sosialisasi dilakukan post-test. Hasil rata-rata post-test siswa yaitu 70.6. Hal ini menunjukkan setelah diberikan sosialisasi, siswa mampu menjawab soal teks Bahasa Inggris dengan baik. Dengan demikian, diharapkan kegiatan sosialisasi ini dapat dilakukan secara rutin.

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that studying abroad such as participating in a student exchange program affects the second language (L2) learning outcomes. However, it has yet to be proven whether a short-term experience, such as participation in a virtual student exchange program has a measurable impact on L2 or foreign language development. The present study examines the improvement of English learners speaking skills after participating in a six-week international virtual student exchange program on Asian culture. It is a collaboration among health education institutions in Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and The Philippines. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods. Ten Indonesian EFL students were involved in this study and their speaking proficiency was measured before and after participating in the virtual program. A structured interview was also conducted to yield more information on their experience in the program. Statistic findings indicated a significant difference between the students’ speaking proficiency before and after the program (Sig. = 0.004 < 0.05), which meant that their English-speaking proficiency improved over six weeks. The statistical findings are consistent with the student's report stating that they felt more confident and comfortable speaking in English upon participation in the program. These findings extend our understanding that a short-term virtual student exchange experience significantly impacts the speaking proficiency and personal development of Indonesian EFL students. The results of this study imply that efforts to support such international virtual programs should continue.
