Abstract

of seventh grade students in writing descriptive texts at SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar. Writing descriptive texts is a challenging skill for junior high school students, especially in organizing ideas coherently and logically. Many students have difficulty in maintaining a clear flow of ideas, connecting one sentence to another, and developing descriptions in an organized manner so that the resulting writing often appears fragmented and less integrated. This condition indicates the need for effective teaching techniques to help students organize their thoughts before writing. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The study population was all seventh grade students of SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar, with a sample of 60 students selected using a purposive sampling technique, 30 students each in the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected through writing tests in the form of pre-tests and post-tests, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results showed that the coherence scores of students in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group. The t-test results show that the calculated t-value is greater than the t-table at a significance level of 5% (t = 4.86; p < 0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Mind Mapping Technique has a positive and significant effect on students' coherence in writing descriptive texts. Practically, the results of this study can serve as a reference for English teachers in implementing effective instructional strategies to improve students’ writing skills and encourage them to organize their ideas more systematically, as well as provide useful references for future researchers in conducting more in-depth studies related to writing instruction.

Abstract

The rapid growth of TikTok as a popular social media platform has significantly influenced written language practices, particularly in caption writing, which tends to be informal and spontaneous. This study aims to identify, classify, and analyze language errors found in TikTok captions created by Indonesian content creators. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the data were collected through documentation of publicly accessible TikTok captions and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that language errors predominantly occur in the forms of redundancy, grammatical errors, spelling errors, and semantic inconsistency. These errors are not categorized as intentional code-switching or stylistic language mixing but rather as violations of standard linguistic norms. Theoretically, this study confirms that the informal nature of social media influences written language use and encourages non-standard forms in digital communication contexts.

Abstract

In many Indonesian junior high schools, students often struggle to retain English vocabulary due to the dominance of passive, teacher-centered memorization techniques. Although digital tools are readily available, their systematic integration with structured pedagogical frameworks, such as Guided Discovery Learning (GDL), remains scarce in local EFL contexts. Addressing this gap, this study evaluates the efficacy of integrating GDL with Quizlet to improve the vocabulary mastery of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 10 Pematangsiantar. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with 60 students selected via purposive sampling. The experimental group was taught using the GDL-Quizlet model, while the control group followed conventional instruction. Data analysis using non-parametric statistics revealed that the experimental group significantly surpassed the control group. While the control group showed stagnant results, the experimental group demonstrated substantial gains. These findings suggest that combining the scaffolding of GDL with the gamified engagement of Quizlet creates a highly effective learning environment, offering a practical solution for teachers aiming to boost student motivation and lexical competence.

Abstract

Writing is an essential skill in English learning that requires accuracy, coherence, and appropriate language use. However, many junior high school students experience difficulties in selecting suitable language when writing recount texts. This study aimed to examine the effect of ChatGPT on students’ language choice in writing recount texts at the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The sample consisted of 24 students selected through purposive sampling. A writing test was administered to assess students’ language choice focusing on vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, sentence structure, and mechanics. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test. The findings revealed that the mean score increased from 52.92 in the pre-test to 86.75 in the post-test, with a mean difference of 33.83 points. The t-test result showed a statistically significant improvement after the use of ChatGPT.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastering is essential in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning; however, many Indonesian public junior high school pupils continue to have major lexical weaknesses. The purpose of this study is to look into the lack of vocabulary mastery among seventh- and eighth-grade students at a public junior high school in Indonesia, as well as to discover the underlying causes of this problem. Data for 96 students were acquired using a qualitative descriptive technique, including classroom observations, student interviews, and teacher reports. According to the findings, students displayed inadequate vocabulary recognition, poor retention, and a low ability to utilise words effectively in context. Seventh-grade students had difficulty with basic word memory and expressed significant levels of fear and unwillingness to speak, whereas eighth-grade students struggled with pronunciation, grammatical word forms, and inconsistent vocabulary use. Traditional teaching approaches that emphasise rote memorisation without adequate contextual exposure were found as a primary contributor to children' restricted vocabulary development. The findings also show that a lack of relevant language input and limited possibilities for active vocabulary use had a negative impact on students' confidence and communicative skills. This study finds that enhancing vocabulary mastery necessitates instructional strategies that emphasise contextualised learning, regular exposure, and active participation with high-frequency terms. The findings have pedagogical implications for English teachers and policymakers in Indonesian junior high schools, helping to improve vocabulary training and promote long-term language development.

Abstract

This study aims to measure students' neuro-psychological readiness as a prerequisite for implementing deep learning, encompassing executive functions, metacognition, intrinsic motivation, and emotional regulation, through the dimensions of mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design dominated by quantitative data. The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar, involving a sample of 130 students from grades X and XI selected through stratified random sampling. Quantitative data were collected using a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire grounded in Diamond's executive functions framework. The results indicate that students' neuro-psychological readiness falls within the moderate-to-high category, with an overall mean of 3.57. The mindful learning dimension recorded the highest score (mean 3.62), followed by joyful learning (3.55), and meaningful learning (3.48). Data distribution across all dimensions was confirmed as normal; however, 12–18 percent of students were in the low category, indicating vulnerability to distractions, difficulties in constructing meaningful understanding, and low emotional resilience when facing learning challenges. These findings suggest that although the majority of students possess an adequate foundation for deep learning, readiness gaps remain that could potentially hinder the effectiveness of curriculum implementation. Based on these results, the study recommends incorporating brief mindfulness exercises into teaching, strengthening integrated cross-subject projects accompanied by metacognitive strategies, and adopting learning approaches that foster intrinsic motivation and a growth mindset. Additionally, ongoing teacher training in educational neuropsychology, periodic assessment of student readiness, and school policies on device management are required.
