Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of flashcard games in improving the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 Palu. A quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. The participants consisted of two purposively selected classes: one serving as the experimental group, taught through flashcard games, and the other as the control group, receiving conventional instruction. Vocabulary tests were administered before and after the treatment to assess students’ improvement. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test at the 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental group (79.42) and the control group (67.31), with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). These results indicate that the flashcard game effectively enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery. The use of visual and interactive media, such as flashcards, facilitated better word retention, understanding, and recall through dual coding of verbal and visual information. Moreover, the game-based activities increased students’ engagement and motivation during learning. In conclusion, flashcard games provide an effective and enjoyable medium for improving students’ English vocabulary mastery. It is recommended that English teachers integrate such interactive media into classroom instruction to foster more meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate whether the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy (VSS) could improve the vocabulary mastery of the eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Palu. A quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups was employed. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students, with two classes selected through purposive sampling: class VIII APEL, serving as the experimental group, was taught using VSS (n = 32), and class VIII RAMBUTAN, serving as the control group, employed the conventional method (n = 30). The study focused on students’ understanding of word meanings and their use of two high-frequency lexical categories: common nouns and action verbs. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test, employing a 0.05 significance level. The results showed an improvement in the experimental group, whose mean score increased from 51.8 in the pre-test to 80 in the post-test, while the control group improved only from 54.8 to 63.3. The t-test result, t-count (9.81), exceeded the t-table (1.671), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These results demonstrate that VSS, when applied to specific vocabulary categories and competency levels, could improve students’ vocabulary mastery. Overall, integrating VSS effectively improved students’ vocabulary mastery by encouraging active participation and recommending its integration into instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the eleventh-grade students’ perceptions of using the dictation technique in English classes at Sukma Bangsa School of Sigi. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the researcher collected data from 30 students through an open-ended questionnaire and conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 purposively selected participants. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman’s interactive model (data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing). The findings show that most students hold positive perceptions of dictation: they find it interesting, challenging in a constructive way, and helpful in improving several language aspects. Respondents reported improvements in listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, spelling accuracy, and pronunciation awareness. They also noted gains in concentration, accuracy, and self-confidence. Common difficulties included the teacher’s fast reading speed, unfamiliar vocabulary, limited time for repetition, and trouble distinguishing similar sounds. To cope, students asked for repetitions, expanded vocabulary through self-study and media exposure, and compared answers with peers. The study concludes that dictation remains a relevant, low-tech technique that supports integrated language development when applied with appropriate pacing and pre-teaching of key vocabulary.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique in improving reading comprehension among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 16 Palu. Reading comprehension is essential for academic success, yet many students struggle due to low motivation, limited vocabulary, and anxiety when reading English texts. To address these issues, a quasi-experimental design was used involving an experimental group taught with the Jigsaw technique and a control group taught using conventional methods. Both groups completed pre-tests and post-tests to assess their reading comprehension before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading comprehension scores compared to the control group. The mean post-test score for the experimental group was 82.47, while the control group scored 61.10, indicating a notable positive impact of the Jigsaw technique. Statistical analysis confirmed this difference was significant at the 0.05 level. The Jigsaw technique fostered cooperative learning by increasing student engagement and encouraging active participation. Group discussions allowed students to share interpretations and collaboratively analyze texts, which enhanced their ability to identify main ideas, supporting details, and text structures. Additionally, role division and repeated group interactions improved information recall and retention. In conclusion, the Jigsaw technique is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing students’ reading comprehension, especially at the literal level. These findings support incorporating cooperative learning methods in English teaching to help students overcome common reading comprehension difficulties.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning plays an important role in English language learning because it supports students’ ability to understand and use the language effectively. Although Project-Based Learning (PjBL) has been widely implemented in English language teaching and has been reported to enhance students’ learning experiences, studies focusing on junior high school students’ perceptions of PjBL in English vocabulary learning remain limited. Therefore, this study investigates students’ perceptions toward the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in English vocabulary learning at the eighth grade of SMP Kristen Bala Keselamatan Palu. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 28 students and semi-structured interviews with selected students to obtain deeper insights into their learning experiences. The findings reveal that students generally have positive perceptions of Project-Based Learning. Project activities help students understand and remember vocabulary more easily, increase their motivation to learn English, encourage collaboration during group work, and enhance their confidence in using English. However, several challenges were identified, including unclear instructions, unequal participation among group members, and the longer time required to complete project tasks. Overall, the study concludes that Project-Based Learning provides meaningful learning experiences and effectively supports English vocabulary learning in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental aspect of language learning as it supports students’ ability to understand and use language effectively. However, many students still experience difficulties due to limited vocabulary knowledge and the use of less effective teaching strategies in the classroom. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of guessing meaning from context in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. This research employed a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group consisting of 49 eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Mepanga. The data were collected through test (pre-test and post-test) used to measure students’ vocabulary achievement. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group. The t-test result revealed that t-count (4.54) was higher than t-table (2.01) at the 0.05 significance level, indicating that the atlernative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, guessing meaning from context is an effective strategy for improving students’ vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is an essential skill for English language learners, yet junior high school students experience difficulties in understanding narrative texts because of limited vocabulary, low reading motivation, and insufficient exposure to culturally relevant reading materials. Integrating local folktales into English instruction may enhance students’ comprehension. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of Napu folktales in improving the reading comprehension of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Lore Peore. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was used. The participants consisted of 40 eighth-grade students selected through total sampling. Because the population at SMP Negeri 2 Lore Peore was fewer than 100 students, 20 students from SMP Negeri 1 Lore Peore were included to complete the sample. Data were collected using a reading comprehension test consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test with SPSS version 25. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension, with the mean score increasing from 30.0250 in the pre-test to 72.5750 in the post-test (p 0.05), indicating that the use of Napu folktales effectively improved students’ reading comprehension and promoted appreciation of their local cultural heritage.

Abstract

Despite numerous studies emphasizing the benefits of using background knowledge and vocabulary in EFL listening courses, there is a lack of rationale for implementing top-down strategies that holistically integrate prior knowledge, vocabulary enhancement, and self-assessment. In order to address the issues, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the teacher's top-down strategies in improving students' listening skills. Therefore, we utilized pre-experimental research, particularly a one-group pretest-posttest design, to ascertain the strategies
