Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Serial Pictures Technique in enhancing reading comprehension of descriptive texts among eighth-grade students at Junior High School Jakarta. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved an experimental group taught using the Serial Pictures Technique and a control group receiving traditional instruction. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to measure students' reading comprehension. The results indicated that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, with a mean score increase from 45 to 70, compared to the control group's increase from 48 to 62. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference (p = 0.035) and a modest effect size (Cohen's d = 0.36), suggesting that the Serial Pictures Technique effectively improves students' reading comprehension. These findings highlight the importance of innovative teaching methods in enhancing language skills.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by elementary school English teachers in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. The research focuses on understanding how teachers adapt their instructional practices, utilize resources, and address challenges in fostering student-centered learning. Data were collected from five teachers in Jakarta using a qualitative descriptive approach, supported by questionnaires. The findings reveal that teachers use diverse teaching resources, active learning methods, and interdisciplinary integration to engage students and improve communication skills. However, challenges such as limited instructional time, inadequate facilities, and uneven training opportunities hinder the full implementation of the curriculum. This study underscores the importance of professional development and resource allocation to enhance curriculum delivery, offering insights into improving English language education at the elementary level.
