Abstract

This study aimed to explore essay writing comprehension among third-semester English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students of the English Department. A qualitative phenomenology design was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of students’ comprehension of essay writing principles. The participants were selected through purposive sampling and consisted of third-semester students enrolled in an essay writing course. Data were collected through students’ written essays, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns related to students’ essay writing comprehension. The findings revealed that students demonstrated a basic understanding of the general structure of an academic essay, including the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. However, their comprehension of key aspects such as thesis statement formulation, coherence and cohesion, idea development, and effective language use was limited. Many students experienced difficulties in developing clear and focused thesis statements, organizing ideas logically, and providing sufficient supporting details. Language-related challenges, including grammatical inaccuracies and limited vocabulary, also affected the clarity and coherence of students’ essays. These findings indicate a gap between students’ structural awareness and their deeper conceptual understanding of essay writing. The study suggests that more focused instructional strategies emphasizing rhetorical awareness, discourse-level organization, and guided writing practice are necessary to enhance EFL students’ essay writing comprehension at the tertiary level

Abstract

This research was motivated by the willing of the researchers to increase ability to understand facts and opinions in advertising texts among fifth-grade students at MI Al-Muwazanah 2 Pranggang. Teacher-centered learning results in students being less active, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning model on the ability to understand facts and opinions in advertising texts among fifth-grade students at MI Al-Muwazanah 2 Pranggang. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The study population consisted of 43 fifth-grade students: class VA (21 students) as the experimental class and class VB (22 students) as the control class. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through written pretests and posttests consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent sample t-tests using SPSS version 21. The results showed that the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning model significantly influenced the ability to understand facts and opinions in advertising texts. This was demonstrated by the Independent Sample t-test significance value of 0.001 (<0.05), thus H₁ was accepted and H₀ was rejected. Therefore, the TSTS learning model effectively improved the ability to understand facts and opinions in advertising texts among fifth-grade students at MI Al-Muwazanah 2 Pranggang
