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.

Abstract

Writing is one of the most essential and challenging skills in English language learning because it demands creativity, organization, and linguistic accuracy. Among various text types, descriptive text plays a crucial role in helping students express ideas clearly and vividly by describing people, places, or objects in detail. However, many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing sentences, and using appropriate vocabulary. This study aimed to analyze gender based teaching strategies employed by male and female English teachers in teaching descriptive text and how these strategies are implemented in the classroom. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The participants were five English teachers at MTsN 1 Lombok Tengah, consisting of three males and two females. The data were collected through classroom observation and interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed that each teacher applied distinct strategies. Male teachers used guided writing, imaginary strategy, and visual learning to stimulate creativity and provide structural support, while female teachers used modified vocabulary instruction and collaborative learning to strengthen linguistic readiness and promote peer interaction. Drawing on the findings, it can be concluded that although male and female English teachers demonstrated different emphases in their teaching, both aimed to facilitate students’ descriptive writing development, boost confidence, and encourage active participation through supportive and interactive learning environments.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Emosi diketahui berdampak langsung atau tidak langsung pada kesehatan manusia secara umum, terhadap kinerja seseorang, capaian pembelajaran, termasuk juga motivasi dalam melakukan sesuatu. Dalam konteks studi pascasarjana, hal yang sering menjadi penyebab lambatnya mahasiswa menyelesaikan studi adalah tidak cepat tuntasnya penelitian dan penulisan tesis mereka. Penelitian-penelitian yang telah dilakukan tentang penyebab lambatnya penyelesaian tugas akhir berupa tesis ini adalah karena sering munculnya pemicu emosi negatif oleh pihak-pihak yang secara langsung terlibat kegiatan akademik di kampus, yang selanjutnya berdampak pada kelancaran pengerjaan tugas dimaksud. Lebih khusus lagi, penelitian yang dilakukan tim pengabdian ini baru saja menyelesaikan penelitian yang mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor pemicu emosi mahasiswa selama mengerjakan tesis dan bagaimana pengaruhnya terhadap pengerjaan tesis mereka. Tentu kegiatan ini akan sangat penting untuk memberikan informasi kepada pihak terkait, yang selanjutnya akan menimbulkan kesadaran untuk dapat membantu mencegah timbulnya emosi negatif dan membantu munculnya emosi positif mahasiswa yang nantinya mempercepat selesainya tugas akhir mahasiswa di program Magister Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Disamping kontribusi pragmatis bagi mahasiwa di Program Studi tempat pengabdian ini dilakukan, luaran lain yang diharapkan adalah terdiseminasinya program pengabdian ini pada jurnal nasional atau prosiding internasional. ABSTRACT Emotions are known to have a direct or indirect impact on human health in general, affecting an individual's overall performance, learning achievements, and motivation in various activities. In the context of postgraduate studies, a common factor contributing to students' delayed completion is the slow progress of their research and thesis writing. Research on the reasons for the sluggish completion of final tasks, such as theses, reveals that a significant cause is the frequent emergence of negative emotional triggers from those directly involved in academic activities on campus, subsequently disrupting the smooth progress of these tasks. More specifically, a recent study conducted by this service team has just wrapped up research identifying the emotional triggers experienced by students while working on their theses and how these triggers influence the progress of their thesis work. This endeavor is crucial for providing information to relevant parties, fostering awareness, and helping to prevent the occurrence of negative emotions while promoting the emergence of positive emotions among students. This, in turn, expedites the completion of students' final tasks in the Master's Program in English Education. In addition to the practical benefits for students in the Program where this service is conducted, another expected outcome is the dissemination of this service program in national journals or international proceedings.
