Abstract

This study addresses the ongoing challenge of improving students' reading comprehension, which is crucial for academic success. Despite various reading strategies being implemented, discrepancies remain between theoretical approaches and classroom practices, particularly in engaging students actively in comprehension tasks. To bridge this gap, this study examines the effectiveness of integrating the Read, Cover, Remember, Retell (RCRR) strategy with Small Group Discussions in enhancing students’ comprehension of descriptive texts. Conducted at SMA N 10 Bandar Lampung, this quasi-experimental research involved tenth-grade students, utilizing a pretest-posttest design with 42 multiple-choice questions. The experimental group, exposed to the integrated strategy, showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with a post-test mean score of 85.99, compared to the control group’s 76.53. Statistical analyses, including normality, homogeneity, and independent t-tests, confirmed the strategy’s effectiveness (p < 0.05). Findings indicate that Small Group Discussions enhanced the impact of RCRR by fostering active engagement, critical thinking, and collaborative learning. This study concludes that combining RCRR with Small Group Discussions is an effective instructional approach, providing valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance literacy instruction.

Abstract

Writing proficiency is a crucial skill in language learning, yet many students struggled with structuring their ideas coherently. While various strategies had been explored to enhance writing skills, limited research had examined the integration of collaborative learning and visual aids, such as picture series, in small group discussions. This study investigated the effectiveness of scaffolded small group discussions and picture series in improving students' writing performance compared to the original small group discussion. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 9 Bandar Lampung, with a pre-test and post-test administered to measure improvements. The quantitative data, analyzed using an Independent-Sample t-test in SPSS, revealed a significant improvement in students’ writing performance, particularly in rhetorical structure. The findings suggested that integrating scaffolded small group discussions with picture series provided a structured and collaborative learning environment that enhanced students' ability to organize their ideas coherently. This study contributed to the growing body of research on effective writing instruction and underscored the importance of collaborative and visual learning techniques in improving writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the improvement of students’ speaking achievement and their perceptions toward the implementation of integrated Think–Pair–Share (TPS) and Three-Step Interview (TSI). The research employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 ninth-grade students at SMPN 4 Metro. Instruments included a speaking test (pretest and posttest) and a perception questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test and descriptive analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking scores from a pretest mean of 84.80 to a posttest mean of 89.40 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, students’ perceptions toward the TPS–TSI were positive with overall mean = 3.86, with the Target and Situation dimensions receiving the highest means, 3.94. These findings suggest that the integration of TPS–TSI not only enhances speaking skills but also fosters a supportive learning environment aligned with students’ future goals.
