Q & A

What is the main focus of the presentation?

The presentation focuses on the effectiveness of using EdPuzzle as a teaching medium to improve students' listening skills in narrative texts.

What are the five chapters included in the presentation?

The five chapters are: 1) Introduction, 2) Review of Related Literature, 3) Methodology, 4) Results and Discussion, and 5) Conclusion and Suggestions.

Why is listening considered important in English education, according to the speaker?

Listening is essential for understanding what is being heard, allowing learners to respond appropriately. It is critical in English as a foreign language education to comprehend thoughts, ideas, and meanings.

What problem does the research aim to solve?

The research aims to determine the effectiveness of using EdPuzzle to improve students' listening skills, particularly in narrative texts, as traditional methods have proven less effective.

What previous studies were referenced in the literature review?

Several studies were referenced, including those by Allah (2020), Arculistiani & Praiwana, Maiyara et al., Hermida (2022), and Yen & Hsu (2022). All these studies found positive results using EdPuzzle to improve listening skills.

What research approach and design were used in the study?

The study used a quantitative research approach and employed a quasi-experimental design, comparing results between an experimental group and a control group.

What were the key findings of the pretest and post-test results?

The experimental group showed an increase from a pretest average of 51.26 to a post-test score of 57.98. The control group also improved from 65.65 to 71.85, though the experimental group demonstrated a notable impact from using EdPuzzle.

What statistical tests were used to analyze the data?

The study used the Wilcoxon test to measure differences between pretest and post-test results in the experimental group, and the Mann-Whitney test to determine the significance of EdPuzzle's effectiveness.

What were the results of the statistical analysis?

The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference in the experimental group's performance (p = 0.030), while the Mann-Whitney test showed that EdPuzzle significantly improved students' listening skills (p = 0.017).

What practical and theoretical suggestions does the speaker offer?

Practically, the speaker recommends EdPuzzle as a useful tool for teaching listening in English classes. Theoretically, future research could focus on comparative studies at different grade levels and further investigate how students improve their listening comprehension skills using EdPuzzle.
