As students majoring in non-English, vocational students at Akademi Komunitas Negeri Putra Sang Fajar Blitar (AKB) often face difficulties in their English language skills, especially speaking. According to Adair-Hauck et al. In recent years, communication- and performance-based learning has supplanted grammar-based teaching in English language education. Consequently, speaking proficiency holds significant sway over educational pedagogy and the teaching of English for communicative purposes. Furthermore, researchers have observed in class that many vocational students at AKB (L2 learner. often lack the confidence and motivation to speak English, as evidenced by their pre-test scores in Table 2. Moreover, some students remain unable to communicate effectively in English despite years of instruction. Upon observation, challenges such as vocabulary comprehension, pronunciation, grammar, fluency, and conversational topic preferences emerge as primary obstacles for foreign language learners (L2 student. English proficiency, indeed, plays a pivotal role in producing high-caliber graduates. Moreover, students are expected to foster communication skills with individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds outside the classroom and in their professional pursuits postgraduation. In essence, adeptness in English communication affords students promising opportunities to pursue further education abroad, secure scholarships, and attain lucrative employment prospect. As a General Basic Subject (MKDU). English has a shorter time compared to compulsory courses. Apart from that, there are no learning modules used in learning English for Communication. For this reason, effective and efficient learning modules and models are very necessary so that vocational students can improve their English communication skills. communication skill, it cannot be denied that conversation has a position as a core element in teaching and school pedagogy. Communication is one of the English language skills considered the most difficult to master by some foreign language learners (Ulker, 2017. Hosni, 2014. Hamad & Alnuzaili. Some research on the causes of difficulty mastering this skill have been done by researchers. From these previous research studies, the main obstacles faced by foreign students in speaking English are vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, comprehension, fluency, use of their mother tongue, and Therefore, students' ability to build interactions and be directly involved in social relationships and create a sense of belonging is through language development. (Mousena & Sidiropoulou, 2. JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 An Implementation of Integrated Performance Assessment Model inA Another important factor that can improve students' speaking skills is to involve students in the situation. The recent research shows that students tend to be active learners and more participative in learning both inside and outside the classroom, which makes a major contribution to students' academic success (MacKenzie, 2. The role of lecturers is very important to involve students in learning because lecturers must help students interact with content and encourage them to develop their knowledge. So, the lecturers do not need to experience difficulties in involving students in the learning process. Therefore, lecturers should not encounter difficulties in engaging students. Consequently, the adoption of effective teaching methods can significantly enhance learning engagement and yield positive learning outcomes (Collayo, 2. Indeed, the selection of an assessment method holds significant importance in language learning. English language education has undergone a subtle shift in paradigm or perspective, marked by the introduction of novel assessment methods and pedagogical approaches. This signifies a departure from the traditional emphasis on grammar-centric instruction toward a more communication- and performance-oriented approach (Adair-Hauck et al. This is in line with the American Council on the Teaching Foreign Language (ACTFL, 2. where language proficiency is developed through communication methods that seem to reflect current real life situations and conditions as a type of assessment to assess students formatively. One of them is Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) which is believed to be able to provide many opportunities for lecturers to focus on student progress. The IPA model, designed to evaluate students' English communication skills, encompasses three modes: interpretive, interpersonal, and The choice of "tourism" as the thematic material for this activity stemmed from its relevance to AKN Blitar students, given the city's notable tourist attractions such as the tomb of Indonesia's first president, "Soekarno," Gebang Palace (Soekarno's childhood hom. , extensive tea gardens, pristine beaches, and historical sites dating back to the Dutch colonial era. In the interpretive mode, students engage in receptive tasks, including reading texts, and listening to or watching videos related to the lesson topic. In the interpersonal mode, collaboration among students is essential, often facilitated by the lecturer forming groups to facilitate information exchange. Here, unscripted assignments prompt students to engage in conversations, fostering active listening, interpretation, and negotiation of meaning. This mode may involve mobile-phone conversations, face-to-face interactions, or written correspondence. The presentational mode requires students to deliver messages derived from previous modes directly. Presentation formats may include videos or PowerPoint slideshows. ensure effective presentation, students practice extensively before the actual JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 Rika Wahyuni Tambunan & Hindra Kurniawan classroom presentation. Additionally, the content presented must reflect the students' genuine thoughts and ideas, as evidenced by their final product in the presentation assignment. Interpretative Communication Mode Interpersonal Communication Mode Presentional Communication Mode Figure 1. Integrated Performance Assessments: A Cyclical Approach (Glisan, 2. This research discusses the effectiveness of the science model, but does not directly compare the results with traditional teaching methods that focus on communication in improving students' speaking skills. The research was conducted in a vocational campus environment, with a focus on students at Akademi Komunitas Negeri Putra Sang Fajar Blitar (AKB). The research also emphasizes the role of lecturers in implementing the IPA model effectively but does not address issues related to teacher training or support. Investigating the professional development needs of educators and identifying strategies to enhance their capacity in utilizing the IPA model. This IPA model defines student performance in three modes of communication according to ACTFL standards. To understand what students must do in studying communication in the three modes, it is important to clearly understand the principles of each mode. IPA provides authentic assessment as it reflects real-world tasks rather than fictional scenarios. In this research, authentic assessments were conducted by presenting real-world contexts to evaluate student competence. The real-world context in question closely relates to student life in Blitar City, involving landmarks or tourist attractions. Additionally, the significant potential in language learning with the science model lies in feedback. Usually, feedback occurs after the completion of the learning process. Feedback given after the learning stage ends, such as grades or scores, is meaningless because it does not provide opportunities for students to improve their communication skills. This research briefly mentions the importance of feedback sessions in improving students' speaking skills although it has not explored in depth the JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 An Implementation of Integrated Performance Assessment Model inA effectiveness of this feedback mechanism due to the short meeting sessions. Future research could explore different approaches to providing feedback in science models and their impact on student learning outcomes. By addressing these research gaps, future studies can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness, applicability, and potential limitations of the IPA model in enhancing English communication skills among vocational METHOD Research Design This research used a mixed-methods research design to collect data on students' speaking abilities, student involvement, and opinions. Mixedmethods research aims to connect two methods, namely qualitative and quantitative, which are used simultaneously to produce more comprehensive, valid, reliable and objective data (Sugiyono, 2. This research involved 26 students at AKN Blitar who took the English for Communication course over 5 meetings . They are 16 women and 10 men. This student has just entered the first semester of the 2023 academic year. In English for Communication course, students are required to take this course to fulfill the semester credit system. Two sets of scores were compared to explore whether the IPA model can improve English speaking students' speaking ability. Pre-test and Post-test design O1 and O2 refer to the results of the pre-test and post-test stages, where X is the implementation of IPA. The research aims to find out whether the science model is able to improve students' communication skills through the pre-test and post-test cycles. Data Collection and Research Instrument In this research, the researchers utilized studentsAo pre-test and post-test result documents as a quantitative approach, describing the quantitative findings descriptively as part of the qualitative elements. Data collection involved observation, documentation of test results, and semi-structured interviews. The test results were derived from pre-test and post-test assessments conducted across interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational stages, all centered around the theme of 'tourism. ' Concurrently, interview sessions were conducted to gather additional insights from students regarding their experiences before and after undergoing the IPA treatment. Data collection spanned five weeks in the first semester of the 2023 academic year. Prior to the IPA treatment, researchers administered a pre-test to gauge students' initial performance. JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 Rika Wahyuni Tambunan & Hindra Kurniawan Subsequently, post-test results measuring the improvement in student communication were obtained. Both the pre-test and post-test stages included three assignments corresponding to the three IPA modes: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. The first mode tested students' ability to interpret meaning by engaging with texts and videos. In the second mode, students demonstrated their ability to negotiate meaning through conversational interactions. The final mode required students to deliver a speech on the same topic as the previous assignments. Following nine weeks of IPA module implementation, students completed a post-test with similar constructs but different topics. Scoring was conducted using an adapted version of the ACTFL IPA rubric tailored to the research context, evaluating whether students exceeded, met, or did not meet performance expectations. Data Analysis Procedures In the analysis of quantitative data, significance value, mean descriptive statistics, and standard deviation were employed for the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, given that the dataset consisted of less than 50 data. qualitative data it was obtained from semi-structured interviews by analyzing the results of student interviews after experiencing learning with IPA model.

The utilization of the Wilcoxon Rank Test was necessitated by the non-normality of the data, as indicated by the results of the normality test. With a sample size of only 26 respondents, the ShapiroWilk test was employed for normality testing. A significance value greater JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 An Implementation of Integrated Performance Assessment Model inA 05 would signify normal data distribution, whereas a value below 0. indicates non-normality. Therefore, due to the non-normal distribution of the data, the Paired Sample T Test was deemed unsuitable for analysis. Table 2.

The significance value . obtained from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is less 05, such as 0. 000003 in the pre-test interpretative data, indicating nonnormal distribution. Given that the sample size for this research is 26, falling below the recommended range of 20 to 1000 samples for the KolmogorovSmirnov test, the Shapiro-Wilk test is more appropriate. With the ShapiroWilk test, all significance values . are greater than 0. 05, indicating that the data can be considered normally distributed. Thus, for sample sizes below 50, such as in this research with 26 samples, a significance value greater than 0. ign > 0. in the Shapiro-Wilk test signifies normal. Table 3.

In Table 7, researchers observed a consistent increase in the average student scores across the five weeks of implementation. Specifically, in Unit 1, the mean score was M = 3. with a standard deviation of SD = 0. in Unit 2, the mean score rose to M = 34 with a standard deviation of SD = 0. and in Unit 3, the mean score was M = 3. 13 with a standard deviation of SD = 0. To complement the quantitative data, analysis of semi-structured interviews was conducted to gather qualitative insights from students regarding their experiences after five consecutive weeks of IPA implementation.

I'm not afraid when my friends see I am quite happy to present the results of my performance with the team in front of many other teamsAy. tudent #. Based on the insights gathered from semi-structured interviews, it becomes apparent that the IPA model plays a significant role in enhancing students' speaking proficiency at AKN Blitar. To elucidate further, students are presented with a comprehensive overview that furnishes clear context and objectives for each learning unit. The IPA model serves as a guiding framework, elucidating how each activity interconnects and progresses from the preceding one. Ultimately, the culmination of IPA implementation manifests in students' direct oral presentations, showcasing the tangible outcome of their linguistic development. "The material given by the lecturer was very interesting because I felt familiar with the theme. That makes it easier for me to present it in front of the class with the team. Even before the presentation, the lecturer kept an eye on me by telling me the good things to do for the presentation. This reduces my nerves because I know what the tips are for a good presentation. What makes it even easier is that the themes raised are separated into three stages of the process. So, the theme that you want to discuss directly is understood first, then discussed by exchanging ideas with the team, which will finally be presentedAy. tudent #. AuI was amazed by this treatment which was divided into 3 stages of the process. I just realized that learning activities are very diverse, one of which I experienced.

JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 An Implementation of Integrated Performance Assessment Model inA Some students perceive that the process is time-consuming due to the separate assessment of each IPA assignment. However, they acknowledge the significance of feedback sessions in enhancing their speaking skills. Consistent with students' feedback shared with researchers, students strongly agree that feedback sessions are instrumental in identifying areas for Furthermore, these sessions contribute significantly to enhancing students' communication performance.

DISCUSSION Based on the findings above, it is evident that students' English communication skills exhibit significant improvement from the pre-test to the post-test stages, facilitated by the application of the IPA model. Moreover, this learning approach enhances student engagement by providing a familiar learning context. Importantly, it offers students ample opportunity to rectify mistakes or address deficiencies encountered in previous modes. Overall, the implementation of the IPA model demonstrates a positive impact on students enrolled in the English for Communication course. This is in line with the results of Kurniawan et al . research that students' speaking abilities can improve after going through several cycles with the implementation of IPA which properly links assessment tasks with teaching. From this observation, researchers note distinct differences between English language learning in traditional classes and IPA model classes. In traditional settings, assessments and teaching occur separately, with tests administered at the conclusion of Consequently, students often lack immediate feedback to address shortcomings, hindering their development. Conversely. IPA model classes integrate assessment and teaching concurrently, providing prompt feedback. This dynamic facilitates accelerated student progress. Notably, class activities play a pivotal role in IPA model implementation. Interviews revealed students' satisfaction with the IPA learning model, which they found novel and engaging. Students expressed enthusiasm for tasks structured across the three modes. Plengkham & Wasanasomsithi . found that the characteristics of this model contribute to improving students' speaking Teaching and assessment in English classes are enhanced through JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 Rika Wahyuni Tambunan & Hindra Kurniawan the dynamic evaluation of assignments across three modes, facilitated by a systematic cycle of classroom activities and effective feedback sessions. Consequently, integrating IPA modules into speaking instruction can be deemed effective for both teaching and assessing students in English classes. In the IPA interpretation mode, students engage with textual information pertaining to "tourism," allowing them time to comprehend the Additionally, the theme of "tourism" is reinforced through video material, enabling students to augment their understanding with visual aids. Within this phase, students also maintain a small notes column to record their interpretations comprehensively. Transitioning to the IPA interpersonal mode, students convene as a unified team, fostering an environment conducive to the exchange of ideas and mutual acceptance. Here, all information garnered from the interpretative mode serves as discussion material within each team. Subsequently, insights obtained from both interpretative and interpersonal modes inform the activities undertaken in the presentational mode, culminating in the final output of the IPA model. This comprehensive approach underscores the authenticity of the IPA model as a learning activity, providing students with assignments spanning the three modal stages and affording them enhanced developmental opportunities compared to traditional classes. Moreover, lecturers meticulously plan learning activities based on real-life situations that resonate closely with students' experiences. The IPA model has a big impact because it makes students easier to He continued. IPA model also provides useful linguistic interaction for students in the English for Communication course. This is also in line with (Troyan, 2. that the three IPA modes not only ask students to understand important information, but there is linguistic interaction in them to help students do assignments easily. These assignments are sequentially administered so that students receive necessary input and engage in meaningful linguistic exchange, allowing them to build their knowledge and skills during the completion of IPA assignments. In the semi-structured interviews, there were many positive reviews from students regarding the tasks in each mode. The reason for these positive reviews is that students feel more aware of learning English to communicate after they have gone through the relationship between the three modes of communication in the science model. In line with Kissau & Adams . said that when students are familiar with learning through the three modes of science and understand the connections between the three modes, they will be able to utilize the language to communicate more successfully. Overall, the implementation of the IPA model in English for Communication learning activities proves to be highly effective in maximizing students' learning By incorporating assessment seamlessly into teaching and learning JOALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literatur. , 9. , 2024 An Implementation of Integrated Performance Assessment Model inA activities, students gain valuable insights into their own learning abilities, enabling them to monitor their learning performance effectively. This selfawareness ultimately fosters the development of student performance. CONCLUSION In this research, the IPA model is recognized for its efficacy in enhancing student communication skills. Furthermore, the familiarity of the material discussed within the IPA mode significantly impacts students, facilitating a deeper understanding of the theme in the interpretive mode. As students successfully navigate assignments in the interpretive mode, they are better prepared to engage in discussions in the interpersonal mode. Moreover, students find it easier to complete assignments in the presentational mode, as each IPA assignment builds upon the previous one. Consequently, the IPA model contributes reciprocally to student performance, particularly in improving their speaking proficiency. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this Firstly, the study was confined to a five-week duration of English for Communication class meetings utilizing the three IPA modes. While the findings indicate an improvement in students' communication skills, the researchers acknowledge that a longer duration is necessary to assess overall student development comprehensively. Additionally, due to the limited timeframe of the study, feedback sessions for students were also restricted. Therefore, careful planning is imperative in organizing teaching activities to ensure adequate time for feedback sessions amidst the constraints of the fiveweek timeframe.
