Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of crossword puzzles that integrate various types of clues in improving vocabulary mastery among secondary school students in an EFL learning environment. Vocabulary learning in the classroom can be challenging, as students have limited opportunities to interact with English. On the other hand, empirical research focusing on teaching strategies with structured instructional support is also limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether the use of crossword puzzles integrating varied clue types can support vocabulary learning. This study employed a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design, supported by qualitative data collected through questionnaires. Because the distribution of vocabulary test scores did not show a normal distribution, non-parametric analysis was performed. Qualitative findings indicate that clues integrated into crossword puzzles support students, including definitions, synonyms, antonyms, fill-in-the-blanks, and pictures with the help of letter clues in each grid, which help students recall the target vocabulary they have learned, in turn increases their confidence during the activity. The results of the study indicate that crossword puzzles with varied clue types showed improvements in students vocabulary development and engagement of the learning activity in a rural EFL classroom. Practically, the findings suggest that teachers may adapt crossword puzzles with varied clue types as a low-cost and accessible strategy to support vocabulary learning in contexts where exposure to English and instructional resources are limited.

Abstract

Listening becomes one of the skills that is very important to master. Unfortunately, many EFL students lack in listening. This study aimed to help EFL students develop their listening skills by integrating fable videos. This research used classroom action research. The participants of this study consist of 31 tenth-grade 3 students at SMAN Arjasa, Jember. The instruments used by the author were an observation checklist and a listening test, and to collect the data, the author observed the students in every cycle of cycle 1 and 2, and also conducted the listening test at the end of each cycle. The data were analyzed by classification and scoring. The use of fable video as the media significantly improved students’ listening comprehension and became an effective tool that can engage students' participation during the learning process, also understandable within the context existing in the video. The use of interactive and effective media, such as fable video, is really needed to improve students' listening skills and participation.
