Abstract

One of the main challenges in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the Junior High School level is students' low ability to write recount texts that conform to the correct grammatical rules and text structure. Although recount texts are a type of text that is routinely taught, many students still experience difficulties in terms of the use of proper grammar, development of ideas, and cohesion between parts of the text. This suggests the need for an in-depth evaluation of the quality of students' texts, not only in terms of content but also in terms of their structure and function in the context of communication. This study is significant because it provides a thorough analysis of students' recount texts using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach through three metafunctions: interpersonal, experiential, and textual. Thus, this study not only reveals the extent to which students fulfill the expected generic structures and linguistic features but also identifies areas of weakness, particularly in aspects such as tense usage, subject-verb congruence, and cohesion devices. This finding is crucial for informing the development of more targeted learning strategies, particularly in enhancing the grammatical consistency and cohesion of students' texts. By understanding the linguistic aspects that students have not mastered, teachers can design more targeted teaching interventions to improve the overall quality of student writing.

Abstract

The combination of Discovery Learning and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms is acknowledged as an effective strategy to boost student engagement and language development. This research fills a gap by examining the integrated application of Discovery Learning and PjBL in an Indonesian public school context, specifically in class XI 5 at SMAN 11 Garut. It focuses on how teaching materials, project assignments, and assessment methods are designed and implemented. Employing a qualitative case study method, the data were gathered through classroom observations, a review of instructional resources, and analysis of students’ project results, particularly their video-based conversation tasks. The results reveal that materials grounded in Discovery Learning assist in organizing the learning process, while project tasks enable students to express creativity and practice communication skills, as shown in their video projects. Furthermore, formative assessments offer meaningful feedback on student progress and learning difficulties. Despite challenges such as student preparedness and technical issues in video creation, the integration of these approaches shows strong potential in creating an engaging and purposeful EFL learning environment. The study offers practical recommendations for EFL educators in designing instructional content and assessment aligned with Discovery Learning and PjBL, and also discusses the implications for future curriculum and project-based teaching practices.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out at SMAN 11 Garut with the aim of enhancing students’ speaking skills through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using the “Speaking with Stimuler” approach. The activity was conducted in two stages, namely the delivery of materials by the service team and a hands-on practice session facilitated by the students. The results show that the integration of AI in speaking practice contributes to improving students’ language abilities, fostering more interactive learning experiences, and reducing repetitive burdens in the teaching process. Despite several challenges such as the need for continuous training and readiness of supporting infrastructure, the program proved effective in increasing students’ enthusiasm and competence. This activity highlights the potential of AI-based learning models as an innovative method to strengthen speaking skills in the context of secondary education.
