Abstract

Writing exposition texts remains a significant challenge for senior high school students, particularly in generating ideas, developing coherent arguments, and organizing texts systematically. This study investigates how the integration of local wisdom through digital media contributes to students’ learning experiences and writing development by addressing the following questions: how do students perceive the learning process, and how does this instructional approach support their exposition text writing? Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved 25 senior high school students. Primary data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained from relevant scholarly literature. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation employed to enhance the credibility of the findings. The results demonstrate that integrating local wisdom with digital media facilitates idea generation, strengthens student engagement, and promotes a more contextual and meaningful learning experience. Nevertheless, many students continue to encounter difficulties in organizing arguments and maintaining coherent exposition text structures. The study concludes that this instructional approach provides a valuable pedagogical framework for enhancing exposition writing, although additional instructional support is required to improve students’ organizational and argumentative writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the process and outcomes of writing skill assessment among fourth-grade students at SD Swasta Latihan 1 YP HKBP PEMATANG SIANTAR. The background of this observation is the students’ limited ability to construct grammatically correct and structured English sentences. The teaching method used was sentence building, a technique where students are guided to form complete sentences from scrambled words provided by the teacher. This method was chosen as it is suitable for elementary-level students who are still developing basic sentence construction skills in English. The participants of this observation were all fourth-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observation, student worksheets, and reflective teacher notes. The teaching activity was conducted in stages, starting from the introduction of simple sentence patterns (Subject + Verb + Object), continued with guided sentence construction exercises, and concluded with individual writing tasks as evaluation. The observation results showed that most students demonstrated noticeable improvement in understanding sentence structure and exhibited greater confidence in writing short English sentences. Although minor errors in grammar and spelling were still present, the sentence building method proved to be effective in supporting students’ writing development. Therefore, it is recommended that this method be applied consistently in elementary-level writing instruction, especially in the context of sentence construction activities.
