Abstract

Listening skills are an important aspect of English language learning that supports students' communication skills. However, students often face difficulties in understanding pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, and conversational context, especially when listening to native speakers. This study aims to identify the main weaknesses in students' listening skills and understand their perceptions of the challenges they face. This study used a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods involving 45 students of the English Education Study Program at STKIP Budidaya Binjai who were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through questionnaires to measure students' perceptions of their listening skills, as well as to explore the experiences and obstacles they face during the listening process. The results of this study are expected to provide insight into the main challenges experienced by students, as well as the basis for developing more effective and engaging learning media, such as the integration of podcast videos or other interactive methods, to improve students' listening skills in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Art, especially painting, plays an important role in children's development, especially in fostering creativity, fine motor skills, and emotional growth. This study aims to explore the impact of finger painting activities on the creativity and interest of elementary school students, particularly students in grades 1 to 3. The study used qualitative methods, including observations, interviews, and practical activities with 25 students. Findings showed that the majority of students (17 out of 25) showed high interest in painting activities, associating it as a fun and self-expressive activity. On the other hand, some students (8 out of 25) showed low interest in painting, perceiving it as a dirty or boring activity. This research highlights the significant benefits of painting, including improved hand-eye coordination, increased patience, and enhanced emotional expression. In addition, the study also emphasized the challenges faced by teachers and students, such as limited time and resources in the school curriculum. The study concluded that finger painting plays an important role in developing children's creativity, emotional skills and social interaction. In addition, the study also underscores the importance of teacher and parental support in providing the necessary facilities, time and motivation for students to explore their artistic potential to the fullest.
