Employing a quantitative research approach with a two-group experimental design, the study conducted a series of five therapy sessions for the experimental group, while the control group received no treatment. Pre-test assessments were conducted to gauge students' skills prior to intervention. Data collection instruments were utilized for both pre-test and post-test evaluations. Following the administration of post-tests, data analysis revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking skills in the experimental class, with average scores rising from 61.48 to 68.26. In comparison, the control group exhibited an increase from an average pre-test score of 55.19 to 61.81 after intervention. Statistical analysis, with a t-value of 7.902 and a significance level of .000 (p &lt; 0.05), indicated a distinct difference between the two groups, affirming the effectiveness of project-based learning.</span></em></p><p><span lang="EN-ID"> </span></p> M Bagas Tri Adi Yuda Yanuar Dwi Prastyo 2023-10-25 2023-10-25 6 2 10.36448/bl.v6i2.3580 The Analysis of Students’ Motivation and Reading Compre-hension of Second Grade Students at SMA Persada Bandar Lampung https://jurnal.ubl.ac.id/index.php/bl/article/view/3581 <h1>This study aimed to investigate the relationship between motivation and reading comprehension among second-grade students at SMA Persada Bandar Lampung, while also exploring the dynamics of their interaction.

The findings indicate that translanguaging techniques within the English zone significantly contribute to students' growth in speaking skills, leading to improved fluency, confidence, and the ability to engage in conversations. This study highlights the importance of creating a dynamic and inclusive language learning environment by leveraging students' linguistic resources through translanguaging practices. The implications of these findings suggest that promoting translanguaging can enhance English language proficiency, cultivate positive attitudes towards language learning, boost self-confidence, and foster a supportive community of learners within the school setting.</em></p> Dini Hidayati Lenny Solo 2023-10-27 2023-10-27 6 2 10.36448/bl.v6i2.3582 Effective Pedagogical Approaches for Addressing Diverse Learning Styles in English Language Instruction at SMA Al Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung https://jurnal.ubl.ac.id/index.php/bl/article/view/3583 <em>The purpose of the research is to know how the English teacher formulate and implement the teaching strategies in English teaching-learning process regarding to students’ different learning styles. Here the researcher will discuss the strategies used by the teacher regarding to their awareness about students’ different learning styles, and how they apply it in English teaching-learning process. Qualitative methods are carried out using documentation, observation, and interviews to collect data. To find out how teacher formulate learning strategies, researcher conduct lesson plan documentation. Then to find out the implementation of learning strategies, the researcher made observations in the classroom. Furthermore, to double-check all the data that had been collected, the researcher conducted interviews with three English teacher. The results show that teacher use several strategies for students' different learning styles. The learning strategies used by teacher include demonstrations, videos, reading texts, lectures/stories, cooperative learning cooperative learning, and discussions. Other strategies used are based on the consideration of different learning style preferences. Teacher accommodate students' learning styles by providing different instructions for each student's learning style. For students with visual learning style, teacher facilitate students' visualization in English learning. For students with auditory learning style, teacher facilitate them with oral explanation. Then for kinesthetic students, teacher provide activities that encourage students to learn by doing.</em> Sherly Adelya Syahni Ayu Wandira 2023-10-27 2023-10-27 6 2 10.36448/bl.v6i2.3583 Analyzing Mispronunciation Patterns of Alveolar and Velar-Alveolar Consonant Clusters: A Comprehensive Investigation https://jurnal.ubl.ac.id/index.php/bl/article/view/3584 <p><em>The present study explores the complex realm of pronunciation patterns demonstrated by Indonesian high school students who are engaged in the study of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The research specifically concentrates on the clusters of alveolar and velar-alveolar consonants. The research endeavours to investigate the fundamental mechanisms that contribute to mispronunciation among learners, drawing upon phonological theories and frameworks of second language acquisition.  A group of five high school students from SMA Persada Bandar Lampung, who possess a high level of English proficiency as a result of their extensive early education, were chosen as participants for the study. Their pronunciation of English words containing final alveolar-alveolar and velar-alveolar consonant clusters was thoroughly analysed through group interviews and recording sessions. The utilisation of phonetic transcriptions and error pattern detection has contributed to a more comprehensive comprehension of the impact of the individual's original language on the pronunciation of a second language. The results of the study provide insight into the difficulties encountered by Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, namely in effectively managing the phonetic differences between English and Indonesian. The study offers useful insights for language education tactics by clarifying these pronunciation issues, hence promoting more efficient language acquisition ways.</em></p> Bayu Andika Prasatyo 2023-10-27 2023-10-27 6 2 10.36448/bl.v6i2.3584 An Analysis of English Teachers' Strategies for Enhancing Reading Comprehension https://jurnal.ubl.ac.id/index.php/bl/article/view/3950 The research aims to identify and analyze the strategies employed by teachers in teaching reading comprehension. This study utilized a descriptive research design with a qualitative approach. The population consisted of two teachers, referred to as Teacher A and Teacher B. The sample was drawn from first-grade students at SMA Sebhak Tangerang. Data collection methods included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and documentation. The data were then identified, described, and analyzed through the use of these observations and interviews. The results indicated that the English teachers employed four strategies for teaching reading comprehension at SMA Sebhak. These strategies included cooperative learning, reciprocal teaching, Question Answer Relationships (QAR), and summarizing. The implementation of these strategies helped make students more active participants in the teaching and learning process, as they were appropriately applied to enhance engagement. Reading comprehension involves constructing meaning from written texts by interpreting the information through prior knowledge and experiences while using effective comprehension strategies. The findings revealed that the teachers primarily used two strategies in teaching English: Reciprocal Teaching and QAR. Students perceived these methods as easier to understand, helpful in conveying and changing opinions, and beneficial in generating new ideas. They also felt motivated to think critically in groups and gained more opportunities to practice speaking through questioning and answering. In conclusion, the students responded positively to the use of these strategies. Arnelli Arnelli 2023-09-30 2023-09-30 6 2 10.36448/bl.v6i2.3950
