“…In terms of gender, boys seem to be more motivated than girls. Our findings are supported by the results obtained in other studies (see, e.g., Akib et al, 2018;Dilshad et al, 2019). Furthermore, using Internet outside school during longer periods is associated with lower levels of motivation to study.…”

We propose a novel approach to explore the trade-offs between four features of students' well-being (anxiety, motivation, sense of belonging, and bullying). On the one hand, a multiobjective interval problem is formulated by considering these distinct components of well-being as objective functions, being then instantiated with confidence intervals obtained from distinct econometric estimations. Then, the problem is solved through the use of a reference point approach that allows accounting for the decision maker's preferences by considering a set of weight vectors that can be used to express his/her preferences regarding the importance that should be given to each objective function. The results provide information on how the improvement of one objective might affect the remaining objectives. Furthermore, the student's profile corresponding to each scrutinized solution is also made available. Overall, the results claim that bullying is the most affected objective, highlighting the need to foster antibullying education policies in Spanish schools, according to PISA 2015 data. Finally, some educational polices are suggested in order to enhance students' well-being.

“…Furthermore, it was found that the collaborative communication activities preferred by the students can be done during learning interaction and outside of the class to make them more collaborative one another to minimize the gap among them. Communicative activities cover various activities that encourage and engage learners in communicating and sharing with other students (Akib, Haryanto, Iskandar, & Patak, 2018;Nunan, 1989), and with community or people they meet in their daily life. It also has real aims in sharing information, breaking down barriers among them, and discussing themselves and any issues around them.…”

“…In addition, project-based learning provides opportunities for "the natural integration of language skills" (Stoller, 2006). A further benefit is that because project work progresses according to the specific context and students' interests (Blumenfeld et al, 1991), students have enhanced motivation, engagement, and enjoyment (Akib, Haryanto, Iskandar, & Patak, 2018;Lee, 2002). From a motivational perspective, projects being authentic tasks, are more meaningful to students, increase interest, motivation to participate, and can promote learning (Brophy, 2013).…”

This study aims to determine whether the implementation of the Tourism Promotion Project Concept (TPP) based on local needs could improve students' speaking skill. This study uses Classroom Action Research. The implementation of the action consists of 2 (two) cycles in which cycle I consist of the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, while cycle II is the improvement steps from the implementation of action in cycle I. Observation, speaking test, documentation and research note are used as an instrument of this research. The results showed that by using the TPP concept based on local needs, students' speaking skill in English Department academic year 2016/2017 increased from 2 cycles run with two meetings in each cycle. This is seen in the percentage of student success. In the first meeting of the cycle I, only one student is in the excellent category. Then in the second meeting of the same cycle, there are three students in excellent category, and just only one student is in the poor category. While in the first meeting of the second cycle, the number of students in excellent category increased to 13 students and there are no students in the poor category.
