Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of using the Word Square approach on students' vocabulary achievement. Students in the eighth grade from a public junior high school in Mendo Barat, Bangka Belitung, were chosen as the sample for an experimental type of research and separated into two groups using a quasi-experimental design: the experimental group and the control group. The test was the instrument employed in this study, and the t-test analysis was performed to assess the test data. The test result was analyzed statistically using the Paired Sample T-Test and the Independent Sample T-Test. It revealed that the experimental and control groups' respective mean pre- and post-test differences were 34.268 and 33.334. Additionally, the t-obtained post-test value of 1.549 was greater than the essential t-table value of 2.01. The findings suggested that the null hypothesis was disproved and the alternate hypothesis was found. According to the findings, the Word Square was one of the most successful strategies for increasing students' passion for studying English.

Abstract

This study This study aims to develop Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) teaching materials based on Bangka Belitung culture to prepare students of English Language Education (TBI) at IAIN Syaikh Abdurrahman Siddik Bangka Belitung as prospective BIPA teachers. The research employs a qualitative descriptive design with a research and development orientation. Data were collected through a needs analysis using questionnaires and interviews with fourth-semester TBI students and lecturers, as well as document analysis of existing BIPA syllabi and teaching materials. The needs analysis examined students’ language skills, language components, learning motivation, teaching styles, classroom management abilities, and familiarity with instructional strategies. Based on the findings, culture-based BIPA teaching materials were designed by integrating Bangka Belitung cultural content into listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities. Local cultural elements, including traditions, social practices, and regional values, were embedded to enhance communicative competence and intercultural awareness. To ensure the quality of the developed materials, content validity, design validity, and construct validity were applied through expert judgment and revision processes. The results indicate that the Bangka Belitung culture-based BIPA teaching materials are pedagogically appropriate, culturally relevant, and feasible for classroom implementation. This study concludes that integrating local culture into BIPA teaching materials not only supports effective Indonesian language learning for foreign speakers but also contributes to the internationalization of the Indonesian language and the preservation of regional cultural identity
