Abstract

As one of the compulsory subjects in junior high school, it is undeniable that English must be taught to students. The objectives of this study are find out whether there is a significant difference in students’ writing achievement between students who are taught using the Mind Mapping Technique and those who are not taught using the Mind Mapping Technique at Pesantren Modern Al-Manar Bener Meriah. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, where 15 of boys students were treated to an experimental group, and the other 15 of girl students were assigned as a control group. The data were collected from written tests (pre-test and post-test), they were analyzed using some formula: mean, standard deviation, and t-test. By comparing t-test score and t-table score, it shows that the result is 2.93 while the result of t-table at a level significance with = 0.05 is 2.160. It means that t-test score is higher than t-table score. It can be concluded that the students who were taught by using mind mapping technique achieve a better performance than those who did not. Therefore, when concentrating students’ writing becomes the goal of instruction, mind mapping should be utilized as an alternative teaching strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to describe types of meanings and identify the semantic relations of place names, as well as explains the migration in Minangkabau on the West Coast of Sumatra. A qualitative research was used where sources of data were taken from interview, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and documents. The interview and FGD were conducted to society figures, community leaders and government officials. The documents include the names of 22 sub-districts in 11 districts from four provinces, written sources, and other relics related to the names. The findings show that the place names provide knowledge about the relations of the meaning and socio-cultural values. The relation among the meanings of the place names includes synonymy and antonym that reflects the migration of Minangkabau in West Coast of Sumatra. The results also indicated that toponymy studies are very important because the naming of places has not received attention among the communities and has not been a study of interest.
