The Implementation of Audio-visual Reading Activity in the Primary Year Metro School</strong>. Thesis. English Language Education Study Program, Graduate Program. Universitas Negeri Makassar (supervised by Baso Jabu and Iskandar).</p> <p>This research has four objectives: (1) to determine what factors influence Metro School Makassar's primary students' audio-visual reading activities; (2) to know how primary-year teachers implement an audio-visual reading activity; (3) to determine teachers' perceptions; and (4) to determine students' perspectives. Case study research involved teachers and students. The writer conducted research using an observation sheet and interview guide. A primary-year teacher at Metro School used a video reading activity. The Merdeka and Cambridge Primary Curricula are shaped by context, with technology as a secondary factor; the school provides LCDs and wireless networks for support. Audio-visual activities require planning, implementation, and differentiation to reach all students. According to the teacher, these activities enhance comprehension, auditory and visual skills, and daily English-speaking abilities. Watching short instructional videos also boosts vocabulary and helps teachers explore new methods. Despite their positive impact, audio-visual reading activities pose challenges for teachers, including technical issues (e.g., LCD or speaker problems), time limits, disruptions, and student behavior during videos. However, students enjoy these activities, which enhance their English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Videos, photos, and voice responses improve comprehension, and students’ excitement for reading has increased. They prefer action or animated films over text and can apply new vocabulary in daily conversations.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Audio-visual, Reading Activity, The Implementation, Teacher’s Perceptions, and Students’ Perspectives.</p> 2025-01-31T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Endah Pratiwi Andi, Baso Jabu, Iskandar http://journal.unm.ac.id/index.php/IJLEL/article/view/6518 An Exploration of Teaching Style used by Junior High School English Teacher in Teaching English 2025-01-14T08:53:40+08:00 Asridawati Asridawati asridawati06@gmail.com Amirullah amirullah@unm.ac.id Muhammad Tahir muhammadtahir@unm.ac.id <p>Teaching style is a crucial aspect of education because each teacher's unique approach can influence the success of the learning process. This study aimed to explore the English teacher’s implementation of teaching styles and students’ perception of these styles. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected through observations and interviews. Five participants were involved: one teacher and four students. The findings revealed that (1) the teacher consistently applied Grasha's five teaching styles: expert, formal authority, personal model, facilitator, and delegator. Among these, the facilitator style was most commonly used, supported by strategies like icebreaking and games to engage students and enhance motivation. (2) Students expressed positive perceptions of all teaching styles. The expert style facilitated understanding through clear explanations, while the formal authority style boosted students' confidence with constructive feedback and clear learning goals. The personal model style made it easier for students to grasp content through direct examples. The facilitator style promoted interactive learning and critical thinking with discussions and visual media. Lastly, the delegator style encouraged student independence by offering flexibility in task selection and completion time. Supporting strategies, such as games and icebreakers, helped create an enjoyable learning atmosphere, further motivating students to engage in the learning process. These findings demonstrate how diverse teaching styles contribute to creating effective and interactive learning experiences</p> 2025-01-31T00:00:00+08:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Asridawati Asridawati, Amirullah, Muhammad Tahir http://journal.unm.ac.id/index.php/IJLEL/article/view/6663 The The Use of Cooperative Learning Strategy to Improve Student’s Reading Skill 2025-01-30T22:13:07+08:00 Hirma Mutiara Suyeti sytitiarhrm4@gmail.com Syarifuddin Dollah syarifuddindollah@unm.ac.id Andi Anto Patak andiantopatak@unm.ac.id <p>This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using a cooperative learning strategy to improve student’s reading skills in learning using the cooperative strategy.
