Abstract

To effectively implement an independent curriculum, teachers must excel at engaging classroom management. This research aimed to identify challenges faced by English teachers in managing seventh-grade classes at UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsitoli and the factors contributing to these difficulties. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to gather data through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student surveys. The data were analyzed to pinpoint specific challenges and their underlying causes. English teachers encountered nine primary classroom management issues, including difficulties in creating conducive learning environments, concluding lessons, managing transitions, and interacting with parents. Teachers also struggled with fostering a positive classroom community and providing effective rewards. Additionally, challenges arose in monitoring student progress, organizing group work, and assessing student performance. Teacher interviews revealed that time constraints, academic priorities, and limited school resources were major factors contributing to these difficulties. This study indicates that time, academic workload, and insufficient school resources significantly hinder English teachers' ability to manage their classrooms effectively within the independent curriculum framework.

Abstract

Reading ability in English has been an essential skill for high school students, yet many students have experienced difficulties in comprehending English texts effectively. One factor suspected to be the cause of this problem was the students’ lack of ability to monitor their reading process. This research aimed to describe the monitoring in reading on students' English reading materials and to identify the dominant components in students' reading monitoring. The research was conducted at SMA Swasta Santu Xaverius Gunungsitoli used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observations and interviews with 36 tenth-grade students. The results showed that students applied three main components in reading monitoring: Comprehension Monitoring, Metacognitive Monitoring, and Comprehension Evaluation. Monitoring Comprehension emerged as the most dominant strategy that students reported using. The most frequently used strategies were rereading difficult passages, underlining important passages, and taking notes. Metacognitive monitoring was reported by students, with a focus on identifying difficulties in texts and reflecting on reading content. Comprehension Evaluation was used by students, particularly in answering text-related questions and identifying main ideas. In conclusion, most students have demonstrated good awareness of their reading process and have actively used various strategies to improve their comprehension of English texts. However, there is still room for improvement, especially in the aspects of metacognitive monitoring and the use of more complex strategies.

Abstract

This research examines the correlation among religious tourism, the use of foreign languages, and tourist motivation at Bunda Beach and Resort. The background of this research highlights the importance of information in foreign languages in religious tourism destinations which can influence tourists' experiences and motivation. The aim of this research is to understand the dynamics and factors that influence religious tourism, especially the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort. The research method used is a mixed method, with data collection through questionnaires and interviews. The research results show that the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort is not the main factor that attracts tourists. The main motivation of tourists to visit this place is to freshen up, pray and enjoy the religious atmosphere offered by the resort. The conclusion of this study is that although the use of Latin provides a strong religious overtone, this does not significantly influence tourist motivation. Bunda Beach and Resort management can consider adding other elements that are more attractive to general tourists.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using folktales in improving the English speaking skills of students in class VIII of SMPN 1 Gunungsitoli Barat. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved 26 students as the main subjects. The results showed that the integration of folktales in learning had a significant impact on students' pronunciation ability, where 60% of them achieved a good score. Folklore not only improves pronunciation, but also eases the teaching and assessment process, and fosters students' interest in learning. Supporting factors such as the use of varied teaching methods and students' interest in local culture also catalysed the success. Comparative analysis showed that students who were active in folklore-based activities had higher levels of fluency and confidence than the less engaged group. However, the study also identified a number of challenges, such as limited learning time and limited available resources, which require further attention. In conclusion, folklore proved to be an effective learning medium in improving students' English speaking skills. In addition, it made a positive contribution to overall learning, by strengthening students' appreciation of local culture while improving the quality of the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

This study focuses on a descriptive analysis of the level of reading comprehension of PPA IO-0130 Omasio students in understanding tourism texts. This study aims to explore students' abilities in understanding various aspects of tourism texts, including literal, inferential, and critical comprehension. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to collect and analyze data from essay tests and interviews involving 16 student respondents. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of students (87.5%) showed a very good level of literal comprehension, where they were able to identify and recall factual information stated explicitly in the text. In addition, 93.75% of students showed a very good level of inferential comprehension, reflecting their ability to infer and understand implicit meanings in the text. At the critical comprehension level, 93.75% of students achieved a very good score, indicating their ability to evaluate and analyze information in depth, including distinguishing between true and false information and identifying moral messages implied in the text. This study also identified several factors that affect students' reading comprehension, including limited vocabulary, inadequate mastery of grammar, and low reading interest. Many students report difficulty understanding the complex sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary often found in formal tourism texts. Lack of interest in reading further exacerbates these challenges, especially when students are not exposed to texts that are relevant or interesting to their daily lives or academic interests. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini berfokus pada analisis deskriptif tingkat pemahaman membaca siswa PPA IO-0130 Omasio dalam memahami teks pariwisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kemampuan siswa dalam memahami berbagai aspek teks pariwisata, termasuk pemahaman literal, inferensial, dan kritis. Pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif digunakan untuk mengumpulkan dan menganalisis data dari tes esai dan wawancara yang melibatkan 16 responden siswa. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa mayoritas siswa (87,5%) menunjukkan tingkat pemahaman literal yang sangat baik, di mana mereka dapat mengidentifikasi dan mengingat informasi faktual yang dinyatakan secara eksplisit dalam teks. Selain itu, 93,75% siswa menunjukkan tingkat pemahaman inferensial yang sangat baik, mencerminkan kemampuan mereka untuk menyimpulkan dan memahami makna implisit dalam teks. Pada tingkat pemahaman kritis, 93,75% siswa mencapai skor sangat baik, menunjukkan kemampuan mereka untuk mengevaluasi dan menganalisis informasi secara mendalam, termasuk membedakan antara informasi benar dan salah serta mengidentifikasi pesan moral yang tersirat dalam teks. Penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi pemahaman membaca siswa, termasuk keterbatasan kosakata, penguasaan tata bahasa yang kurang memadai, dan minat baca yang rendah. Banyak siswa melaporkan kesulitan dalam memahami struktur kalimat yang kompleks dan kosakata yang tidak familiar yang sering ditemukan dalam teks pariwisata formal. Kurangnya minat baca lebih lanjut memperburuk tantangan-tantangan ini, terutama ketika siswa tidak terpapar pada teks yang relevan atau menarik bagi kehidupan sehari-hari atau minat akademis mereka.
