Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the specific difficulties experienced by Grade X students at SMA Negeri 3 Palu in writing descriptive texts in English. More specifically, the study seeks to examine students’ understanding of the generic structure of descriptive texts, their use of vocabulary, and their application of grammatical rules in writing. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed to provide a detailed picture of students’ writing problems based on their own responses. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to Grade X students who had learned descriptive text writing in their English classes. The findings reveal that students face several challenges when writing descriptive texts. Many students had difficulty distinguishing between the identification and description parts of the text, which often resulted in unclear or incomplete descriptions. Students also reported limited vocabulary, making it difficult for them to express ideas clearly and vary their word choices. In addition, grammatical problems, particularly in the use of tenses and sentence structure, were frequently identified as major obstacles in their writing. These results are consistent with previous studies that report similar difficulties among EFL learners in writing descriptive texts. Limited mastery of vocabulary, grammar, and text organization has been widely recognized as a key factor affecting students’ writing performance. The findings suggest that students need more structured guidance and practice to develop these skills. Therefore, this study recommends that English teachers provide focused instruction and targeted training to help students better understand text structure, expand their vocabulary, and improve grammatical accuracy in descriptive writing.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using word cards in increasing the vocabulary of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 3 Sausu. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two classes: Class VIII A, consisting of 21 students, served as the experimental class, while class VIII B, with 20 students, served as the control class. The experimental class received instruction using word cards as the treatment, whereas the control class was taught using conventional teaching methods. The samples were selected through total sampling. The study was conducted through a series of procedures, including a pre-test, the treatment, and a post-test. Data were collected using tests, and quantitative analysis was performed to compare students’ scores before and after the treatment. The results indicated a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. At a significance level of 0.05, the t-count was 6.62, exceeding the t-table value of 1.68, indicating that the research hypothesis was accepted. These findings demonstrate that the use of word cards is an effective strategy for improving the vocabulary of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 3 Sausu. Moreover, the results suggest that word cards positively influence students’ vocabulary retention, as they facilitate better memorization and recall of target words during the learning process as instructional media. However, this study was limited by its relatively small sample size and its focus on concrete nouns and descriptive adjectives. Future research is recommended to involve larger and more diverse samples, as well as a broader range of vocabulary categories, in order to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of word cards in language learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is fundamental to English language learning because it supports the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Although numerous studies have examined vocabulary learning strategies, limited attention has been given to how junior high school EFL students simultaneously experience vocabulary learning difficulties and employ strategies to overcome them within their actual classroom context. This study aimed to identify students’ vocabulary learning difficulties and the strategies they used to address them. A qualitative descriptive design was employed involving 23 eighth-grade students and one English teacher at SMP Negeri 14 Sigi. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings revealed that students experienced difficulties in vocabulary retention, contextual understanding, pronunciation, sentence construction, and speaking confidence. To cope with these challenges, they primarily used memorization, translation, repetition, and digital learning tools. The study concludes that integrating interactive, contextual, and technology-supported vocabulary instruction can enhance students’ vocabulary mastery, learning engagement, and confidence while providing practical insights for improving vocabulary instruction in junior high school EFL classrooms.
