The purpose of this study was to find out if eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 10 Pontianak's usage of the Undercover Game app affected their vocabulary success in the 2022–2023 academic year. In this study, a pre-experimental design was used. Thirty-two students studying social science made up the sample. Data from the pre- and post-tests were gathered, and a t-test was used for analysis. Twenty-five multiple-choice questions with four possible answers (a, b, c, and d) comprised the test. The post-test result was 2488, but the pre-test result was 2080. The data shows that the t-test result was 18.21. For thirty-one samples, the t table with 5% degree of freedom (df) is 2.039. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted based on the data analysis shown above, and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected because the t-test result is greater than the value indicated in the t-table (18.21>2.039). Furthermore, the effect size is 3.09, falling into the high effect (>0.8) category. In summary, there was a significant impact on students' vocabulary achievement when the Undercover Game programme was implemented. For this reason, Undercover Game comes highly recommended as a useful instrument for improving vocabulary in students.

The psychological notion of self-efficacy plays a key role in evaluating students' linguistic aptitude and fluency in English. The purpose of this study is to ascertain Thai students learning English as a foreign language (EFL)'s degree of self-efficacy in oral communication. In order to assess students' confidence in their ability to speak English fluently, the study looks into their sense of self-efficacy. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used in this investigation. A questionnaire was distributed to 28 students who attended an Islamic high school in Satun, Southern Thailand, using a quantitative methodology. Several kids from the school are interviewed as part of the qualitative technique. Participants are asked particular questions that allow them to give in-depth answers based on their experiences and circumstances. Using the three elements of self-efficacy—magnitude, generality, and strength—the research findings show that students in Thailand consistently have low levels of self-efficacy. As a result, the study's findings imply that Thai students still require assistance in oral English communication. There are numerous uses for this subject in psychology, education, and language instruction. Instructors could come up with strategies to help Thai students feel more confident about learning English as a second language and improve their oral communication abilities. Techniques that enhance English communication skills can be incorporated into language programs and curriculum designs. The results can be used by psychologists to address issues with self-efficacy in language learning. This study takes a fresh approach by examining Thai English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' self-efficacy, particularly with regard to speaking abilities. It advances existing knowledge by highlighting the specific challenges these students face when speaking. This research provides novel insights that can guide interventions aimed at enhancing students' self-efficacy in oral English communication.

Sukahir, Parjan, Umi Dian Adhitya Wulan Ningrum — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article is part of a report on the implementation of training activities to increase TOEFL scores for undergraduate students at the Palembang Polytechnic of Civil Aviation. The activities were carried out partly because some of the cadets had never taken a TOEFL test before. This descriptive research was conducted on this activity. The instruments were a needs analysis questionnaire for the students and an interview guideline for the lecturer. The method of implementing the activity is carrying out a TOEFL preparation class for a 4-hour lecture course. The results of the activity show that there is a significant increase in scores but taking into account that TOEFL is divided into three parts: listening, structure and written expressions, and reading comprehension, its preparation process for TOEFL is a long study course. Each unit has different abilities with 27 skills in the listening section, 60 in the structure and written expressions, and 14 in the reading section. Therefore, with a total of 101 skills to be mastered, a 4-hour lecture course is clearly insufficient.
