In fact, it is a mojor skill which has been tested for years in the National Final Examination. The questions which had appeared in the test are mostly testing the students’ reading comprehension ability. To succeed the test , the students should master five genres of monologue text and nine short functional texts. Consequently, teachers should provide them with reading comprehension strategies. This paper offers a strategy “ Inferring anaphoric & cataphoric” Reference with the theoretical assumption of “Think Aloud” through an activity called “ Robinhood” to provide students with a reading strategy to deal with one of the short functional text that is Reference Word. The activity of “Robinhood” will ease them when they are dealing with questions related with reference word.The activity leads students to learn in joyful atmoshere since while learning they also feel like playing a game. Considering the effectiveness of the learning activity, English language teachers are recommended to adopt it in their classes.

Abstract

The aim of the teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly at the Junior High School, is to provide the students with the ability to use the target language for communication.

Consequently, EFL teachers should create a classroom atmosphere where students engage in real-life communication, authentic activities, and meaningful tasks that promote oral language production.This paper offers an interesting and interactive activity as so called Running Dictation to activate students in speaking class. Theoritically, the activity is based on the one of the four strands in speaking class that is Language Focused Learning.The activity may lead students to greater independence and interdependence as it requires each student to perform cooperatively and to interact actively with other students in order to finish a task. Above all,this activity will emerge joyful , interesting and challengingatmosphere in Junior High School class as students feel like playing a game while they are learning and as a result can result in promoting better performance in speaking class.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low conceptual understanding and learning outcomes of students in the Embedded Systems Programming subject, which is often considered difficult due to the complexity of the material. The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the project-based learning model (PjBL) in improving conceptual understanding and learning outcomes among students at Vocational School 10 Makassar. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The study population comprises all students from Vocational School 10 Makassar, with samples deliberately chosen: class XI Teli 1 serving as the experimental group and class XI Teli 3 as the control group. Data were collected through test instruments (pre-test and post-test) and student activity observation sheets. The findings showed a significant increase in the experimental class compared to the control class. The experimental class's average score on the post-test went from 41.36% to 83.10%, while the control class's score went from 42.66% to 45.62%. The t-test results showed a significance value <0.05, proving that the PjBL model effectively improved student learning outcomes. This research contribution provides recommendations for educators to implement the PjBL model sustainably as an innovative solution in teaching complex technical materials and its development in other subjects to improve the quality of vocational education.
