Abstract

This study investigates the patterns and functions of code-switching in English learning at MTs Amin Darussalam, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings, and interviews with eighth-grade students during the 2025/2026 academic year. The analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s framework, focusing on data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal three main types of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag switching, with inter-sentential switching being the most frequent. Teachers primarily used code-switching to explain lessons, clarify meanings, and manage classroom interaction, while students employed it to overcome vocabulary limitations and enhance self-expression. Tag-switching served to seek confirmation and maintain classroom rapport. Overall, code-switching was found to facilitate comprehension, build confidence, and create a supportive learning environment. The study concludes that code-switching is a natural and effective communicative strategy in bilingual classrooms.

Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyze how using the Duolingo app has affected the speaking abilities of seventh-grade students at SMPS Nur Hasanah Medan. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach which included five students as subject of the research. Information was gathered through observation and interviews. The result suggest that using Duolingo has helped improve students' speaking skills, especially their confidence and pronunciation. Most students expressed that they enjoyed learning with Duolingo because it provided a fun, non-threatening, and interactive learning environment. Students demonstrated noticeable improvements in fluency, vocabulary use, and motivation to speak English. However, some challenges remained, especially in terms of spontaneous speech and constructing complex sentences. In other words, Duolingo can be an effective supplementary tool in improving students’ English-speaking skills, though it should be accompanied by guided instruction to develop deeper communication competence.

Abstract

Culture is an activity that is carried out by the community repeatedly and becomes the basis for behavior, not only seen as a work or idea which then becomes a cultural object such as art or tools and other objects that reflect an area. Therefore, preserving adat is important for the people. One of the efforts made is through oral tradition. The purpose of this research is to look at efforts to preserve the traditional marriage traditions of Sibolga- Central Tapanuli ethnic through oral tradition. This study applies a qualitative approach that aims to describe the description of the phenomenon of the variables studied. To describe the variables of this study, the data used consisted of primary data through interviews with informants and secondary data obtained from books or records that explained the implementation of the traditional Sibolga-Central Tapanuli ethnic marriage. The instruments used to collect data consisted of interviews and observation sheets. After the data is collected, the data is then analyzed through a process of data reduction and data interpretation. Based on the results of observations made during the research, some information was obtained that oral traditions were still effectively carried out in an effort to preserve the customs and culture of an ethnic group. Techniques that can be taken in efforts to inherit culture are through natural inheritance which is carried out by the older generation to the younger generation through the implementation of culture which can be witnessed by the younger generation. Traditional leaders through traditional institutions will continue to make efforts so that their customs and culture are passed on to the younger generation through various means, such as publishing books on customary practices, providing studios for young people to practice their ethnic arts, and providing guidance in implementing culture.

Abstract

Speaking ability is one of the important language skills for students in communicating. However, based on initial observations, many students of class XI SMA Negeri 1 Rantau Utara have difficulty in conveying ideas verbally, especially in retelling the contents of the news they watch. This is due to limited vocabulary, lack of understanding of news structure, and low self-confidence in speaking. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of audiovisual learning methods in improving students' speaking competence. This study used an experimental method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 32 students selected by purposive sampling. The research instrument was a speaking test, which was conducted before and after treatment. Data were analyzed using a t-test to determine the significance of improving students' speaking competence. The results showed that before treatment, the average pretest score of students was 53.28 with a standard deviation of 8. After being given treatment in the form of learning with news broadcasts from YouTube channels, the average posttest score increased to 83.71 with a standard deviation of 5. The results of the t-test showed that t count (3.36) was greater than t table (2.03) at a significance level of 5%, which means that there was a significant increase in students' speaking ability. This increase indicates that the audiovisual learning method is effective in helping students understand the structure of news, improve their speaking fluency, and enrich their vocabulary. In addition, audiovisual media also increases student involvement in learning and fosters confidence in speaking. Thus, it is suggested that this method be applied in Indonesian language learning to improve students' speaking skills more optimally
