Abstract

This study determined the effectiveness of word card media using Kahoot! on Class VII students' reading comprehension at SMPN 4 Majene and investigated their perceptions. A true-experimental design was employed with two intact classes (  each) selected via cluster random sampling. Data were collected through reading pre-/post-tests and a 10-item questionnaire administered to a purposive subsample of the 10 highest-scoring experimental students. Results revealed that the experimental class post-test mean (73.72) significantly exceeded the pre-test mean (31.92), with an N-Gain mean of 61.41. The independent samples t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference ( ), validating  . Additionally, the high-achieving subsample demonstrated positive perceptions (mean = 66.8), strongly agreeing that the media improved text comprehension, boosted confidence in group discussions, and enhanced learning satisfaction. Thus, word card media integrated with Kahoot! is highly effective for junior high school EFL reading instruction, although these perception findings are localized to top-performing learners and cannot be generalized to the entire class.

Abstract

This study is the reflection of part of speech classification by EFL students. This study intended to deduce the students’ familiarity of parts of speech in the EFL Context. The study was accomplished in Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, English education department in the academic year 2023-2024. The sample was 97 students of the third semester in English Education department who will begin intermediate grammar class. The instruments used to collect data were tests that contained two types. The first test was the students chose the part of speech of 24 words while the second test was the students answered 14 multiple choices. The result of this study revealed that students‘familiarity about part of speech was still fair. This was evidenced by the data that has been analyzed that the percentage of students who categorized words into the correct part of speech only reached an average of 40%. Besides, the results of multiple choices showed that the most comprehended part of speech was pronoun. It was around 21.6% - 22.7% of the errors found in the students‘ answers and the least comprehended part  of speech was  adverb and preposition that reached the correct answer around 25.8 %– 29.9%. Thus, it was suggested that the students should learn more about parts of speech. The lecturer must pair the topics taught in class with part of speech so that students became familiar with it and can ultimately differentiate.
