Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki penerapan kerangka kerja manajemen berbasis janji dari Sull dan Spinosa (2007) di Royal Academy English Course di Medan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana institusi tersebut mengelola dan memenuhi janji-janji pendidikannya. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa akademi ini secara efektif menerapkan lima aspek utama janji—publik, aktif, sukarela, eksplisit, dan berbasis misi—sehingga menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang terpercaya dan menarik. Guru menyesuaikan pengajaran dengan kebutuhan siswa dan secara konsisten berupaya mencapai hasil yang dijanjikan. Namun, tantangan muncul pada tahap “penyamaan pemahaman” dan “penyelesaian umpan balik.” Harapan orang tua yang tidak selaras serta tidak adanya mekanisme umpan balik yang terstruktur menghambat pemahaman bersama dan perbaikan berkelanjutan. Studi ini menekankan bahwa meskipun pelaksanaan janji sudah baik, kredibilitas jangka panjang bergantung pada komunikasi yang transparan dan umpan balik timbal balik. Temuan ini berkontribusi terhadap pemahaman kualitas layanan pendidikan dan penerapan nyata manajemen berbasis janji di lembaga kursus bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of using Canva as a learning media in reading argumentative texts. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving ten twelfth-grade students of MAN 3 Langkat who had prior experience with Canva in English lessons. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire distributed via Google Form and analyzed using Miles (2014) framework of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students’ perceptions were divided into positive and negative categories. Seven students (70%) expressed positive perceptions, describing Canva as attractive, motivating, and effective in clarifying argumentative structures such as claims, reasons, and evidence. They explained that Canva’s visuals and templates helped them stay engaged and organize ideas more clearly during reading activities. Three students (30%) expressed negative perceptions, mainly due to slow loading, restrictions caused by premium features, and readability problems when color contrasts between text and background were weak. In terms of reasons for these perceptions, the analysis showed that Canva captured students’ attention through its colorful design (35.7%) and maintained relevance by connecting visuals with their academic needs (28.6%). Confidence (14.3%) was fostered when Canva’s templates supported systematic thinking, but was reduced when poor design made comprehension difficult. Satisfaction (21.4%) was achieved when Canva functioned smoothly, but was undermined when technical problems disrupted learning. These findings imply the importance of balancing Canva’s strengths with its limitations and maximizing its pedagogical potential to support students in reading argumentative texts effectively.

Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the process of classroom interaction between a teacher and students at SMP Negeri 7 Medan from the perspectives of discourse analysis. It focused on how these interactions influence student engagement and learning outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, a 10-minute video recording was observed to identify key verbal and non-verbal communication patterns within the classroom. The interactions were categorized based on teacher-initiated questions, feedback, disciplinary actions, and student-initiated responses. The findings reveal that openended questions and positive reinforcement by the teacher significantly increased student participation. Conversely, disciplinary actions, though minimal, temporarily reduced engagement but improved classroom behavior. The study concludes that teacher-student communication plays a vital role in creating a productive learning environment and recommends further integration of collaborative learning strategies to enhance student involvement. This research contributes to the existing body of literature on classroom management and effective communication in Indonesian public schools.
