Abstract

This research explores the impact of utilizing crossword puzzle games as a teaching tool to enhance reading skills, specifically focusing on vocabulary development, among eighth-grade students at SMP Swasta Teladan Pematang Siantar. The study adopts a quasi-experimental quantitative design with a total population of 40 students in the eighth grade. Both the experimental and control groups were subjected to different teaching methods, with the experimental group exposed to crossword puzzle game instruction while the control group received traditional instruction. Vocabulary tests, encompassing synonym and antonym identification through multiple-choice questions, were administered as pre-tests and post-tests for both groups. The findings revealed a substantial increase in the mean score of the experimental group, from 43 in the pre-test to 76.60 in the post-test, compared to the control group's mean score of 42.75 in the pre-test and 67.5 in the post-test. Statistical analysis, employing T-test and t-table values, indicated a significant effect of the crossword puzzle game on reading skills, particularly in vocabulary, among eighth-grade students at SMP Swasta Teladan Pematang Siantar.

Abstract

Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengeksplorasi kemanjuran media dinding kata dalam meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen semu (quasi-experimental design) yang melibatkan dua kelas yang masing-masing berpartisipasi dalam pre-test dan post-test. Peneliti memilih dua kelompok yaitu VIII-8 (kelas eksperimen) yang berjumlah 30 siswa dan VIII-7 (kelas kontrol) yang berjumlah 30 siswa. Dengan menggunakan teknik purposif, sampel dibagi, dengan kelompok eksperimen diajar menggunakan media dinding kata di kelas, sedangkan kelas kontrol menerima pengajaran melalui cara konvensional. Setelah menganalisis data, terlihat bahwa nilai rata-rata siswa di kelas eksperimen meningkat dari 65,33 pada pre-test menjadi 81,83 pada post-test. Sebaliknya, kelas kontrol menunjukkan peningkatan skor rata-rata dari 58,5 menjadi 69,16 dalam rentang waktu yang sama. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa t-hitung (3,04) melebihi nilai t-tabel (1,67155) pada df 58. Akibatnya, hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak dan mendukung hipotesis alternatif (Ha), yang menyatakan bahwa penggunaan media dinding kata secara signifikan meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siswa.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discover the issues that frequently arise among students at one of the SMK Insani International Pematangsiantar. The students were found to have the following issues: For starters, the pupils had difficulty pronouncing some terms, particularly those with nearly identical pronunciations, such as leave (pergi) - life (tinggal), dessert (hidangan penutup) - Desert (gurun pasir), and snack (cemilan) - snake (ular). Besides that, apprehension about making mistakes and a lack of confidence when speaking English. This study was conducted using the Direct Method, which is a method of teaching foreign language subject matter in which the teacher directly uses a foreign language as the language of instruction, rather than using the students' native language, and where the teacher uses some tricks to pique the students' interest so that they do not become bored while learning English using this method. This research reveals that, pupils are no longer perplexed when pronouncing words that seem similar and are less fearful of making mistakes, implying that they are more secure in speaking English.

Abstract

Proficiency in English writing is essential for success in academic, professional, and social contexts. However, many learners face challenges due to traditional teaching methods that often overlook the importance of reading comprehension and critical thinking. This study explores how active reading a deliberate, engaged approach to reading can significantly enhance English writing skills. Strategies such as skimming, scanning, annotating, and note-taking are highlighted for their role in improving comprehension, critical thinking, and writing coherence. Active reading deepens engagement with texts, expands vocabulary, and strengthens analytical skills, which are directly transferable to effective written communication. The evidence from existing literature shows that active reading methods outperform traditional approaches by promoting critical analysis, thoughtful expression, and better organization of ideas. Cognitive techniques like questioning, summarizing, and visualizing further support learners in articulating clear and cohesive writing. The study emphasizes the need for integrating active reading strategies into English teaching practices to address gaps in traditional methods. By equipping students with these tools, educators can enhance writing proficiency, boost engagement, and better prepare learners for global academic and professional challenges. This research underscores the importance of training teachers to implement evidence-based active reading techniques effectively, ensuring long-term benefits for students’ writing success.
