Abstract

Many junior high school students encounter difficulties in writing procedure texts, particularly in organizing ideas and presenting sequential steps coherently. This study aimed to investigate the effect of picture series media on students' writing skill in procedure texts. A quasi-experimental design involving an experimental and a control class was employed. The participants were 62 ninth-grade students of SMP Swasta Santo Petrus Medan, comprising 31 students in each class. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments. The findings indicated that the mean score of the experimental class increased from 55.55 to 79.65, whereas the control class improved from 55.94 to 64.45. The independent samples t-test showed that the t-value was 8.149 with degrees of freedom (df) = 60. The t-table value at α = 0.05 was 1.67065. Since t-value (8.149) t-table (1.67065), and p .001, the null hypothesis was rejected. Therefore, picture series media had a significant positive effect on students' writing skill in procedure texts.

Abstract

Code-switching by teachers in English learning remains a topic of debate, as it is seen as aiding comprehension, but also raises concerns about increasing students' dependence on their native language. This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of teachers' use of code-switching and its impact on their dependence on Indonesian in English learning. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive study design. Thirty students were selected as participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis with the aid of NVivo software for coding and theme validation. The results indicate that students positively perceive code-switching as aiding comprehension of complex material, reducing anxiety, and increasing participation and confidence in using English. However, the use of Indonesian does not create permanent dependence. Students utilize their native language as a temporary buffer to grasp concepts before returning to English for communication and practice activities. These findings suggest that purposefully designed code-switching can serve as an effective pedagogical strategy to support comprehension, engagement, and learning independence without diminishing the use of English as the target language.
