Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using the Baamboozle application on the English vocabulary mastery of eighth-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nur Rahma, Bengkulu City. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving class VIII Zubair as the experimental class and class VIII Sa'ad as the control class. The research sample consisted of 43 students selected using total sampling technique. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, then analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and Independent Samples t-test. The results showed that the experimental class’s post-test scores were higher than those of the control class. The Independent Samples t-test produced a calculated t-value of 5.581 with a significance value of 0.001 (P<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups after the treatment. These findings demonstrate that the use of the Baamboozle application is effective in improving students’ English vocabulary mastery. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the Baamboozle application has a significant effect on the English vocabulary mastery of eighth-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nur Rahma, Bengkulu City. Therefore, the Baamboozle application can be used as a game-based learning medium to support English vocabulary learning.

Abstract

  This study aimed to identify the teachers' strategies to improve students' vocabulary mastery, describe their implementation, and explore the challenges faced by teachers in Grade V at SDN 72 Kaur. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design involving three teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that the teachers implemented five main strategies: explicit vocabulary instruction, contextual learning, the use of visual and digital media, game-based and creative activities, and regular review and evaluation. These strategies encouraged students' participation, improved vocabulary retention, and supported meaningful learning. However, the teachers also faced several challenges, including students' limited vocabulary knowledge, difficulty remembering new words, different learning abilities, limited instructional time, and limited learning media. Overall, the combination of interactive, contextual, and repetitive strategies contributed positively to improving students' vocabulary mastery in Grade V at SDN 72 Kaur.

Abstract

  This study aimed to explore the challenges faced by English teachers in teaching reading skills to Grade VIII students at SMPN 14 Kaur. Specifically, it identified the strategies used by the teacher, the challenges encountered during the implementation of those strategies, and the solutions applied to overcome them. This study employed a qualitative case study design. The participants consisted of one English teacher and eight Grade VIII students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, open-ended questions, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data triangulation was used to ensure the trustworthiness of the findings. The findings showed that the teacher used reading aloud, question-and-answer sessions, vocabulary explanation, translation, and rewards to develop students' reading skills. The main challenges were students' limited vocabulary, low interest in reading, pronunciation difficulties, limited instructional time, and different reading abilities. To overcome these challenges, the teacher simplified the learning materials, explained vocabulary before reading activities, encouraged students to use dictionaries, provided additional guidance, and motivated students through praise and rewards. The study concluded that appropriate teaching strategies and continuous support are important for improving students' reading skills.
