This research discusses the use of clocks as a learning medium in teaching time telling. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of clock media in Telling Time learning and to determine students' interest and enthusiasm in learning using learning media, namely clock media, in learning English clocks. The methodology used in this research uses a qualitative descriptive method; the research sample is students 8th grade at 6thstate junior high school in Panyabungan, North Sumatra. Data collection in this research was through observation, interviews, and was unstructured. Meanwhile, the results of interviews with grade 8 students revealed that they had never learned to use Learning Media in the Talking Time material, but they learned to tell time by understanding the contents of the textbook and listening to the teacher's explanation, without having to listen to the teacher's explanation. In short, it can be said that teaching using a learning environment in the learning process in class makes them more enthusiastic about learning and more interesting.

Abstract

Vocabulary is a central aspect of second language learning as it provides the foundation for effective communication. However, acquiring and retaining new vocabulary remains a challenge for many EFL learners. This study aimed to analyze the strategies employed by EFL learners in acquiring vocabulary and to explore the obstacles they encountered in the process. The research was conducted among 25 second-semester students of the English Education Department (Tadris Bahasa Inggris) at STAIN Mandailing Natal. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative data from questionnaires with qualitative data from semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that cognitive strategies were the most frequently employed by learners, followed by metacognitive, social, determination, and memory strategies. Meanwhile, the major obstacles faced by learners included limited exposure to English, difficulty in memorizing vocabulary, and low motivation. The study concludes that while learners actively adopt various strategies, their progress is hindered by contextual and psychological challenges. These findings suggest the importance of providing meaningful exposure to English and designing strategy-based instruction to enhance learners’ vocabulary acquisition.
