Abstract

This study investigates the impact of phonology-based vocabulary learning on the English language skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Islam Nurul Qur’an in the academic year 2025/2026. Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test structure, the research involved 20 students from class VIII A as participants. Data collection was conducted through vocabulary tests (pre-test and post-test) and student questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using a paired sample t-test in SPSS version 25. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ English skills after the implementation of phonology-based learning. The mean pre-test score of 42.00 increased to 68.25 in the post-test, with the t-test showing a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). These results indicate that phonology-based vocabulary learning positively influences students’ vocabulary mastery and pronunciation accuracy. Questionnaire data further confirmed students’ positive perceptions, with an average score of 74.10, suggesting that the method enhanced motivation and learning engagement. The study concludes that integrating phonology-based strategies with digital media provides an effective approach to improving English language skills among junior high school students in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by seventh-grade students at MTs Qamarul Huda Bagu in mastering English vocabulary. Vocabulary mastery is essential for developing the four core language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, many students struggle with comprehension, retention, and practical application of vocabulary in real-life contexts. A qualitative case study was employed, combining online surveys of 22 students and interviews with English teachers, supplemented by documentation. Thematic analysis revealed five key challenges: difficulty understanding new vocabulary, frequent forgetting of learned words, boredom during lessons, shyness or lack of confidence, and limited opportunities to use English outside the classroom. Teachers also highlighted gaps in students’ initial abilities and limitations in technological resources. Nevertheless, contextual teaching and learning (CTL), interactive games, songs, and visual media proved effective in engaging students. Findings suggest that vocabulary learning strategies must integrate multimedia tools, psychological support, and increased practice opportunities. This study underscores the importance of varied pedagogical approaches and supportive environments in enhancing vocabulary mastery
