Abstract

Although many studies have explored the relationship between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension, research in vocational school contexts is limited, where students face unique challenges in learning English. This study aimed to examine the correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension among eleventh-grade students of SMK NW Pancor in the 2024/2025 academic year. A quantitative correlational design was used, involving 22 students selected through purposive sampling. Vocabulary mastery was measured using a 20-item multiple-choice test covering synonyms, antonyms, definitions, and sentence completions, while reading comprehension was assessed with a 20-item multiple-choice test focusing on main ideas, specific information, inference, and vocabulary in context. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results revealed a strong and significant positive correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension (r = 0.753, p 0.001), indicating that students with higher vocabulary knowledge tended to achieve better reading comprehension. These findings highlight the essential role of vocabulary development in supporting reading skills and suggest that integrating systematic vocabulary instruction into English lessons can improve students’ overall language proficiency in vocational school settings.

Abstract

This research was conducted to describe 1) the level of Vocabulary and Kanji that students tend to use in essays measured based on JLPT standards and 2) the suitability of the level of Vocabulary and Kanji used by students in Japanese essays with the learning level that has been taken, namely N4. These two measurements utilize a corpus of data that has only been used for reading-learning purposes. This research uses a qualitative approach, and the data source is 53 students with data collection techniques, namely assignments to write essays with predetermined themes and questionnaires. The data analyzed is the vocabulary and Kanji students use in their essays. This research shows that students use 68.8% of N5-level vocabulary and 61% of N5-level Kanji in their essays. The findings from assessing the use of vocabulary and Kanji differ from their current learning level, namely level N4, which the highest percentage at this level should indicate. Thus, the target of students' ability to use N4-level vocabulary and Kanji at their current learning level has not been achieved.

Abstract

Clinical clerkship students are one of the communities who are always in the hospital environment and have been provided with fire disaster management materials through training and simulations. The hospital has provided complete fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure. However, the problem is that there is no information about clinical clerkship student preparedness for fire disasters in hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between perceptions of the availability of hospital facilities and infrastructure to the level of fire disaster preparedness among clinical clerkship students in the Zainoel Abidin Hospital. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample of this study was the clinical clerkship students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, who were taken by proportional stratified random sampling, totaling 117 people. The data was collected using an online questionnaire that has been tested for its validity and reliability. Data analysis was performed univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. The results showed that the clinical clerkship student had a good perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in the hospital (68.4%), while the attitude of preparedness to face fire disasters in the hospital showed a high level (80.3%). The Chi-square test results showed that there was a significant relationship between the clinical clerkship student perception regarding facilities and infrastructure in hospitals and fire disaster preparedness (p = 0,000). The conclusion of this study showed that the good perceptions of clinical clerkship students about the availability of fire disaster management facilities and infrastructure increase fire disaster preparedness in the hospital. This study recommends the importance of training and fire disaster management simulation to be continuously carried out on clinical clerkship students to improve the quality of disaster preparedness communities.

Abstract

This research investigates the underlying reasons why grade XI students at MA NWDI Lepak, a senior high school in rural East Lombok Regency, are motivated to learn English. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis using a qualitative approach with case studies.  The theme analysis method developed by Braun and Clarke (2006) was used to analyze this study. The results show that students' learning motivation is influenced by two main factors: (1) students' sociocultural and identity factors, such as support from teachers, peers, and perceptions of English in the community; and (2) strong future goals, such as career aspirations and educational expectations, which are the main drivers of their motivation. These results support socio-cultural identity theory and potential-based achievement goal theory, which emphasize that students' motivation is influenced by their thoughts about their future potential in their social and cultural contexts.  It is hoped that this research will help teachers, schools and policy makers create effective and contextualized English learning strategies for students in rural areas.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the ability and awareness of students regarding word stress, specifically on four-syllable words. The subjects of this research were eight fourth-semester students from the English Language Education study program who had completed the morphology course. The participants were randomly selected from various classes. This study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured tests and interviews as data collection methods, conducted in person. The findings indicate that most participants have limited ability in correctly placing word stress on four-syllable words. Common errors occurred due to a lack of understanding of morphological rules, especially those related to prefixes and suffixes that influence stress placement. The participants' awareness of the importance of word stress in communication also varied; some were aware of its function, while others considered it insignificant. The study concludes that despite having received morphology instruction, students still face challenges in applying the concept of word stress practically. The implications of these findings highlight the need for a deeper focus on word stress exercises, particularly in the context of phonology and morphology, to enhance students' skills and awareness in English pronunciation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the factors contributing to students’ speaking anxiety during English dialog practice in the eighth grade of SMPN 3 Masbagik in the academic year 2025-2026. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, using observation, interviews, and questionnaires as the main instruments of data collection. The findings revealed that students experienced two types of anxiety: state anxiety and trait anxiety. State anxiety appeared in specific classroom situations, particularly when students were asked to perform dialog practice, with symptoms such as trembling hands, shaky voices, forgetting lines, and excessive sweating. Meanwhile, trait anxiety was more consistent and related to limited vocabulary, grammatical inaccuracy, and lack of confidence. The main factors that triggered speaking anxiety included limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, pronunciation difficulties, and fear of negative evaluation. To cope with these challenges, students applied several strategies such as repeated practice, relaxation techniques, positive self-talk, preparing vocabulary/grammar, and seeking peer support. The study concludes that students’ speaking anxiety is a multidimensional issue influenced by both linguistic and psychological factors, requiring efforts from both teachers and students to foster a more supportive learning environment.
