Abstract

ABSTRACTA paraphrasing strategy instruction model has been developed through a research and development method. The developed model is called the 3RI (Read, Rewrite, Revise, Integrate) paraphrasing strategy instruction model. This is a part of the research and development, which is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the developed model. For evaluation, the field testing was carried out in the English study program at the University of Mataram. Seventy-five students who were taking academic writing courses were involved in this study. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed model, the students self-assessed before and after having been treated using the 3RI paraphrasing strategy instruction model. After the treatment, the students were asked to fill in the questionnaire, which covered statements about the students' responses toward the instruction with the developed model. The results indicated a significant difference between the student's scores in the self-assessment before and after the treatment. Further, the students generally responded positively to the treatment with the developed model. The 3RI paraphrasing strategy instruction model can be one of the ways to help students avoid plagiarism and develop their creativity and critical thinking skills. ABSTRAKSebuah model instruksi strategi perparafiran telah dikembangkan melalui metode penelitian dan pengembangan. Model yang dikembangkan disebut sebagai model instruksi strategi perparafiran 3RI (Read, Rewrite, Revise, Integrate). Ini merupakan bagian dari penelitian dan pengembangan yang bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas model yang dikembangkan. Untuk evaluasi, uji lapangan dilakukan di program studi bahasa Inggris di Universitas Mataram. Tujuh puluh lima mahasiswa yang mengikuti mata kuliah penulisan akademis terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas model yang dikembangkan, mahasiswa melakukan penilaian diri sebelum dan setelah menerima perlakuan menggunakan model instruksi strategi perparafiran 3RI.

Hasilnya menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan antara skor penilaian diri mahasiswa sebelum dan setelah perlakuan. Selanjutnya, mahasiswa umumnya memberikan tanggapan positif terhadap perlakuan dengan model yang dikembangkan. Model instruksi strategi perparafiran 3RI dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk membantu mahasiswa menghindari plagiarisme dan mengembangkan kreativitas serta keterampilan berpikir kritis mereka.How to Cite: Thohir, L., Nurtaat, L., Udin, & Insaini, M.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of story-based learning in enhancing English writing skills among Grade 7 students at SMP Negeri 4 Gerung. Writing, a critical productive skill in language learning, is often perceived as challenging due to its demand for clarity, coherence, and mastery of language components such as grammar and vocabulary. Many students struggle with writing due to limited practice, inadequate teaching methods, and low motivation. Story-based learning offers a potential solution by providing an engaging and context-rich environment that encourages students to develop their writing skills. This research focuses on addressing the identified challenges by utilizing stories as a medium to increase student interest and motivation. The findings showed that students in the experimental group, who were taught using story-based learning, experienced a significant improvement of 23.19% in their writing skills, as evidenced by their post-test scores. In contrast, the control group, which followed traditional teaching methods, showed only a marginal improvement of 0.79%. These results indicate that story-based learning not only enhances student engagement and interest in the learning process but also fosters creativity and critical thinking, leading to improved writing performance.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study investigates the implementation of the scientific approach in English language teaching at SMAN 1 Batukliang during the 2024/2025 academic year, with a particular focus on instructional practices and the challenges encountered by teachers. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving English teachers from Grades X, XI, and XII. Findings reveal that all participating teachers actively applied the five stages of the scientific approach—observing, questioning, experimenting, associating, and communicating—demonstrating notable creativity in adapting activities to suit their students’ needs. However, consistent challenges emerged across all stages, primarily stemming from students’ limited English proficiency, including insufficient vocabulary, weak grammatical competence, and difficulties in comprehension and oral expression. Additional obstacles included classroom management issues, unequal student participation in group work, and the need for extensive scaffolding and repetition. Despite these hurdles, teachers employed context-sensitive strategies—such as peer monitoring, targeted vocabulary reinforcement, and code-switching—to mitigate barriers and sustain engagement. The study underscores the critical role of teacher agency and pedagogical creativity in navigating the complexities of student-centered learning under Curriculum 2013. It also highlights the necessity of targeted professional development and contextualized support to enhance the effective implementation of the scientific approach in English classrooms.
