Abstract

The purpose of this study is (1) to illustrate whether training strategy in the research can increase students writing motivation and (2) to find out the advantages and disadvantages of training strategy in the research for students of Mechanical Engineering STTR Cepu. This School Action Research was carried out in 2 cycles. Each cycle 1 includes 2 meetings, while cycle 2 is 1 meeting. The data used in this study is qualitative data. Qualitative data is taken from observations, questions and answers, questionnaires, and product results. The data has been analyzed using the Constant Comparative Method. The findings of the study using a training strategy are: (1) increasing students writing motivation, including: a) curiosity, b) students’ effort, c) students’ perseverance, and d) students’ experience. The increase can also be shown by the average number of participants from each meeting increasing and the product results of students also increasing. There are 12 research titles and there are 2 research proposals made by participants. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the training in the preparation of research can increase students’ motivation to write.

Abstract

There are 2 problems that motivated the researchers to conduct this research. The first problems arises from internal and the second comes from external problems related to the weakness of engineering students in mastering English vocabulary. This study is intended to provide reinforcement to students on English vocabulary so that their English language skills increase. Through the repetition method, students are more likely to repeat and practice correct spelling when pronouncing English words. In addition, the ability to concoct sentences can also be trained with this method. The data in the form of field notes and questionnaire results show that with repetition students are able to increase English vocabulary accompanied by an increase in creating sentences.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic, apart from providing a bad experience, can also make someone challenged and offer to develop learning but in Engineering English lectures. At first the learning was carried out face-to-face, this time it was carried out boldly. Vocabulary is a basic and important knowledge in Mastering English. One of the vocabulary learning strategies during the pandemic is through online media. This research was conducted in order to determine the effectiveness of vocabulary learning by using an online dictionary for Mechanical Engineering Students STTR Cepu. This study used a descriptive approach. There are 30 students as respondents. Based on the questionnaire and strongly agree by 43.3%, agree by 46.7% say disagree and strongly agree. So that it can be said that the effectiveness of learning vocabulary using online dictionaries is weak in mechanical engineering students at STTR Cepu.
