Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Storyboarding Technique in improving the writing skills of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. The primary issue addressed is students' difficulty generating and organizing ideas while maintaining motivation during writing activities. The research adopts a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving two classes selected through simple random sampling: experimental and control classes. The research instruments included pre-test and post-test assessments. In the pre-test, the experimental group scored an average of 42, while the control group scored 44.16. After the treatment, the post-test scores increased to 67.83 for the experimental group and 58.16 for the control group. Statistical analysis using degrees of freedom (df) 46 at a significance level of 0.05 showed that the t-count (2.006) exceeded the t-table (1.678), indicating a significant difference. The results demonstrate that the Storyboarding Technique effectively improves students' writing skills, particularly in recount text composition. This technique motivates students by facilitating idea visualization and structuring before formal writing. The findings suggest that teachers may integrate storyboarding as a creative approach to English language learning to enhance students' writing proficiency. Further research is recommended to explore its long-term effects on writing development.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of Small Group Discussion (SGD) technique in developing English speaking skills among Grade IX students at SMPN 3 Banawa, Indonesia. Through a quasi-experimental design, 49 students were divided into experimental and control groups, focusing on expressions of hope, wishes, and congratulations. The experimental group received SGD treatment over four meetings, while the control group followed conventional teaching methods. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking skills, with mean scores increasing from 38.94 to 71.15. The t-test results (t-counted=3.70462, t-table=2.01174, p<0.05) demonstrated SGD’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ speaking fluency and appropriacy. The findings suggest that SGD creates a supportive learning environment that boosts student confidence and participation in English speaking activities, offering valuable insights for language teaching methodology.

Abstract

This research objective aims to explore the effects of gamification in improving students' English writing skills. Many students face challenges in developing this skill due to limited vocabulary and difficulties with grammar. The study focused on 10th-grade high school students using a quasi-experimental design with a quantitative approach . Data were collected by using pre-test and post-test assessments of recount text writing. The quality of writing was evaluated using criteria such as content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics, based on Heaton's (1988) framework. Findings indicated that the experimental group, which utilized gamification, achieved a better mean score (28.22) compared to the control group (24.64). However, Mann-Whitney test results indicate there is no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.393 > 0.05). This implies that while gamification shows potential in improving grammatical accuracy and vocabulary in writing, its impact remains statistically insignificant. The study suggests that for gamification to be more effective in writing instruction, it may require a longer implementation period, better calibration of task difficulty, and an enhanced feedback system targeting grammar and vocabulary development.
