This study aims to analyze the material and student activity in textbooks. The analysis is focused on the presentation of the materials and assignments written by the students. This research is descriptive qualitative using content analysis. From the aspect of presenting writing material and activities, all writing materials and assignments are in the form of a guide. writing, because students are asked to write responses, in limited length, to the instructions given. This study shows that writing assignments in textbooks are proportionately covered. The findings suggest that independent references to vocabulary and grammar are required for independent study. With written assignment activities presented in the textbook material, students understand better the previous lesson and are more active in the learning process. The topics presented are diverse so that students have the opportunity to explain the topic in different ways.

This research was conducted with the aim of finding out the difficulties that were felt by high students in answering reading comprehension questions on the TOEFL test.The method used in this research is qualitative method. This research was conducted on high school students who had taken the TOEFL test. From the results of this study it was found that the biggest problem in reading comprehension in the TOEFL test was due to the lack of interest in reading high school students so they would feel bored by seeing the text in front of them and it was still difficult for high school students to find the meaning of the text due to lack of vocabulary, and lack of practice to answer questions related to reading comprehension with the lack of practice, they think that the time to answer questions is not enough. So from the research conducted it is expected to overcome these difficulties, high school students must increase their practice of reading comprehension questions both at home and at the course, and must increase interest in reading and increase vocabulary so that it is easier to work on problems in the reading comprehension section.

Kosakata sangat dibutuhkan oleh siswa dalam mempelajari bahasa inggris. Banyak siswa yang kesulitan dalam meningkatkan kosakata pada saat mempelajari bahasa inggris oleh karena itu para pengajar harus memikirkan strategi belajar yang dapat meningkatkan kosakata siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan vocabulary siswa dengan berbagai strategi yang digunakan oleh guru. Strategi mengajar adalah upaya dan rencana yang dilakukan oleh untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan kosakata siswa. Asep Jihad dan Abdul Haris (2013:11) mendefinisikan “ belajar adalah suatu proses yang terdiri dari kombinasi dua aspek, yaitu: pembelajaran difokuskan pada apa yang harus dilakukan siswa, pengajaran berorientasi pada apa yang harus dilakukan guru sebagai penyedia pembelajaran”. Kosakata adalah salah satu pengetahuan dasar dalam belajar bahasa inggris kosakata adalah kumpulan kata yang memiliki makna sesuai dengan konteksnya. Ada banyak strategi mengajar yang dapat digunakan oleh guru dalam mempelajari kosakata seperti: Memori, Pembelajaran Kooperatif, Suggestopedia, dinding kata, Clustering dan Drilling. Banyak strategi dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran kosakata tetapi, tidak semuanya efektif untuk siswa. Strategy pembelajaran yang dipilih berdasarkan dengan kebutuhan siswa saat belajar untuk meningkatkan kosakata siswa yaitu word wall. Word wall adalah sebuah media yang digunakan untuk menulis kata baru yang dapat meningkatkan kosakata siswa.. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah guru bahasa inggris tingkat SMP di kota Medan. Guru bahasa inggris tingkat SMP lebih sering menggunakan wordwall pada proses pembelajaran di lakukan dimasa online learning. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif berupa kuesioner dengan menggunakan google form. Hasil dari penelitian ini guru banyak menggunakan media dinding kata. Maghfiroh (2018) dalam penelitiannya, media wodwall dapat menciptakan interaksi yang bermanfaat bagi media dalam menciptakan interaksi yang bermanfaat interkasi yang bermanfaat bagi siswa sebagai strategi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan vocabulary siswa.
