Abstract

The lexicon is a fundamental aspect that educators must focus on, as it encompasses all the words understood and used by an individual. The importance of an effective vocabulary program, which includes extensive reading, specific word instruction, independent word learning strategies, and word-play activities. Recent educational innovations, such as Outing Class Based Contextual Learning, aim to enhance students' vocabulary skills by incorporating real-life experiences into the learning process. Nawas (2018) highlights the benefits of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in empowering students, fostering an interactive learning environment, and promoting collaboration. The primary focus of this study is to explore the implementation of class-based contextual learning strategies in order to enhance the comprehension of English vocabulary among junior high school students. The selection of this particular group is based on their active cognitive development, as outlined by Bujuri (2018). Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the research involved two experimental groups: one receiving the treatment and the other serving as a comparison. The findings revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with an average post-test score of 79,39, compared to the control group's score of 72.58. This disparity underscores the effectiveness of class-based contextual learning methods in enhancing the understanding of English vocabulary. From a practical standpoint, the aim of this research is to offer alternative teaching approaches to educators, enabling students to learn beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. This method proves highly effective in the current era, as it introduces a new learning environment, particularly in fostering enthusiasm for English vocabulary acquisition. Outing class-based learning offers the advantage of strengthening the relationship between subject matter and real-world contexts, thereby providing a more meaningful learning experience for students.

Abstract

Many students struggle with reading comprehension due to limited vocabulary and lack of background knowledge, often leading to insufficient understanding of texts. While research has extensively explored reading comprehension at primary and secondary levels, challenges in higher education, particularly in Islamic-based institutions, remain underexamined. This study investigates the difficulties faced by Indonesian university teachers in teaching reading comprehension within such a context. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combined qualitative data from non-participatory observations and semi-structured interviews with quantitative survey data. Participants included three English teachers teaching reading comprehension at a university in Malang, Indonesia, selected through purposeful sampling for their direct classroom engagement and ability to provide first-hand insights. Data analysis involved data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions to identify recurring themes and patterns, combined with descriptive statistics to summarize survey results of the identified challenges. The findings reveal multifaceted challenges of teaching reading, stemming from both instructional and student-related factors, such as limited vocabulary mastery, low motivation, and inadequate resources. These findings emphasize the need for better professional development, resource management, and strategic intervention to support students and teachers. The study offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and researchers to improve instructional practices in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of board games as a learning medium to improve third-grade students' understanding of English prepositions of place. English, as an international language, plays a crucial role in global communication. Grammar instruction is introduced as early as elementary school; however, many students struggle with distinguishing grammatical components, particularly in prepositions of place. Traditional teaching methods often fail to support students in differentiating these concepts effectively. To address this issue, this study examines the use of board games as a learning medium to enhance students' understanding of grammar. Board games provide an interactive and engaging approach by incorporating game elements into the learning process. Using a one-group pretest – posttest classroom action research design with 27 participants at a public elementary school in Malang. The findings reveal a significant improvement in students' grammar mastery, as indicated by an increase in the average score from 70.2 (pre-test) to 87.1 (post-test) in the first cycle. Observations further demonstrate that board games enhance student engagement, foster a more enjoyable learning environment, and improve comprehension. These results suggest that incorporating board games into grammar instruction can be an effective strategy for young learners.

Abstract

Indonesian students face various challenges in writing English, especially when composing descriptive texts due to limited vocabulary and low motivation. This study aims at test the effectiveness of the Memrise application in improving students' writing skills in descriptive texts. This study was conducted at SMP Namira, Probolinggo City using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. This study involved two classes: an experimental class, which used the Memrise application in learning, and a control class, which used quasi-experimental methods. The results showed that the use of Memrise helped students improving their vocabulary, sentence structure, and writing organization. After conducting validity, reliability, normality, and homogeneity tests, it was found that the data met statistical requirements. Hypothesis testing showed that there was a significant difference in students' writing achievement between the experimental and control groups, concluding that Memrise was effective in improving writing performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended for English teachers to utilize the Memrise application as a learning medium to support students' vocabulary and writing development. Future researchers are encouraged to explore the use of Memrise in other English language skills or different educational level.
