Abstract

The current classroom action research aims to enhance the active participation of the students in group tasks through the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approaches in the context of English language learning for Grade X students of SMA Negeri 3 Bogor. This study addresses the problem of the lack of student participation and contribution in group tasks, which has negatively affected the effectiveness of collective learning results. The research was conducted in two cycles, with planning, action, observation, and reflection in each cycle. The data were obtained from observation, students’ test scores to assess their grammar mastery, and from reflective journals to gain insight into their learning experiences and engagement with the instructional methods. The results showed that PBL approach, particularly after integrating game-based learning elements in the second cycle, was effective in increasing students’ engagement during group work by encouraging better communication, cooperation, and responsibility among members. Students became more confident in sharing ideas, showed greater enthusiasm, and demonstrated improved understanding of gerunds and to-infinitives, which was also reflected in the increase of their average test scores from 41,08 to 66,27. This indicates that when PBL is applied in a structured and interactive way, it can significantly enhance student participation and improve grammar learning outcomes.

Abstract

In the context of Indonesia higher education, English academic reading poses notable challenges for EFL students, particularly due to complex language and limited instructional support. To address this issue, annotation emerges as a critical strategy to facilitate comprehension and engagement with scholarly texts. This study aims to explore the annotation practices employed by eight-semester EFL students when reading academic materials. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through documentation of annotated texts and semi-structured interviews involving six students from an English Language Education Study Program at Pakuan University. The analysis followed Marshall's framework, categorizing annotations into three types: anchor only, content only, and compound. Findings revealed that students predominantly used anchor only annotations-highlighting and underlining- to mark essential information. Some employed compound annotations by integrating text markers with reflective notes, while content only annotations were less frequent but demonstrated deeper processing through independent summaries. These practices indicate that annotation supports not only reading comprehension but also academic writing and critical engagement. The study recommends integrating explicit instruction on annotation techniques into EFL reading curricula to empower students as active readers and knowledge constructors.
