Abstract

Writing narrative paragraphs poses challenges for EFL learners due to the demands of grammatical accuracy, coherence, and narrative flow. This study aims to analyze error types, identify their causes, and evaluate the writing flow in narrative paragraphs produced by first-semester English Education students at the University of Mataram, academic year 2024/2025. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from 15 student writings and interviews with selected participants. The findings reveal that addition and misformation errors were the most frequent, followed by omission and misordering. The primary causes of errors stemmed from first language interference and direct translation, with carelessness contributing in some cases. In terms of writing flow, most students used transition signals and compound sentences effectively, yet struggled with proper comma usage. These results highlight the need for explicit instruction on narrative structure and focused feedback to enhance academic writing proficiency.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas penggunaan Wordwall dalam meningkatkan kosakata bahasa Inggris, terutama kata sifat, di kalangan siswa kelas tujuh di SMP IT Abata Lombok pada tahun ajaran 2025/2026. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya kosakata siswa, yang memengaruhi kemampuan mereka untuk memahami teks dan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain pra-eksperimental one-group pre-test and post-test. Sampelnya adalah 27 siswa kelas tujuh yang dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian adalah tes kosakata pre-test dan post-test yang terdiri dari 20 pertanyaan. Data dianalisis menggunakan SPSS melalui uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, dan uji hipotesis. Uji normalitas menunjukkan bahwa data terdistribusi normal, uji homogenitas menunjukkan bahwa variansnya homogen, dan uji-t sampel berpasangan memperoleh nilai signifikansi (Sig. 2-tailed) sebesar 0,000 < 0,05. Dengan demikian, hipotesis nol (H?) ditolak sementara hipotesis alternatif (H?) diterima. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan kosakata siswa meningkat secara signifikan setelah menggunakan Wordwall, dengan skor rata-rata pra-tes sebesar 45,93, meningkat menjadi 87,96 pada pasca-tes. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar guru bahasa Inggris memanfaatkan Wordwall sebagai media pembelajaran inovatif seperti permainan Wordwall dengan kuis, permainan mencocokkan, dan anagram untuk meningkatkan motivasi, keterlibatan, dan hasil belajar siswa.
