The primary aim was to understand the influence of perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness, and motivation levels on English language learning outcomes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combined survey data and thematic analysis of interviews, we found that students generally reported high levels of these factors. Minor differences were observed between UBT and UNSA in terms of perceived autonomy and competence-relatedness. Positive correlations were identified between these factors and improved performance in English language learning; for example, autonomy positively correlated with English learning outcomes (r = 0.60*), as did competence (r = 0.65*), relatedness (r = 0.62*), and motivation levels (r = 0.70*). These findings highlight the importance of fostering learners' sense of autonomy, competence building, and relatedness in technology-enhanced instruction settings to promote intrinsic motivation according to Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Further research is recommended to explore other potential influencing factors such as individual attitudes towards technology or external factors like teaching quality or course design.","PeriodicalId":492039,"journal":{"name":"Inspiring","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach based on Kurt Lewin's cyclic design, the study comprises four phases: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Data collection methods include observations, questionnaires, and tests. The findings indicate successful implementation of the STT technique, meeting predefined criteria for success. In the diagnostic test, 12.5% of students achieved the minimal mastery level criterion of Indonesian school, rising to 43.75% in the first cycle's post-test and a remarkable 75% in the second cycle's post-test. Observations reveal increased student confidence and active participation in class discussions and conversations, reflecting improved speaking skills. Questionnaire results indicate high student interest (69.68%) in using the STT technique for speaking practice, with students acknowledging enhancements in their speaking abilities. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of the STT technique in enhancing the speaking skills of senior high school students, as evidenced by improved test scores, heightened confidence, and strong student interest in this teaching approach.","PeriodicalId":492039,"journal":{"name":"Inspiring","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important factor that should be taken into consideration is the use of appropriate authentic listening materials in the classroom. The objectives of the research were aimed to investigate whether there is a significant difference in students' listening comprehension using audio media versus video media and to determine which of these media is effective in enhancing students' listening comprehension. This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. It was conducted in two classes of first-grade students of State Polytechnic of Agriculture Samarinda as non-English major college students. The classes comprised class PPIIA as the experimental group using audio and PPIIB as the control group using video. The researchers used pre-test and post-test designs to collect the data. The result of the data revealed that there was a significant difference between students' listening comprehension using audio media versus video media. Teaching listening using video is more effective in enhancing students' listening comprehension because video can provide visually attractive and enjoyable listening practice for students in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":492039,"journal":{"name":"Inspiring","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135926669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
