Abstract

Writing is one of the most challenging skills for junior high school students, who often face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing them into coherent paragraphs, and applying correct grammar and vocabulary. Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers an alternative approach by linking classroom instruction with students’ real-life experiences, thus creating more meaningful and engaging learning activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of CTL in teaching English writing, to identify the challenges encountered, and to explore the strategies used to overcome them. The research was conducted at SMPN SATAP 2 Aikmel with 15 seventh-grade students, consisting of 8 females and 7 males, who were selected through purposive sampling. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with data collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation of students’ writing products. The findings indicate that the teacher applied CTL principles such as constructivism, inquiry, modeling, collaboration, reflection, and authentic assessment in teaching recount and descriptive texts. Students responded positively, showing greater motivation and confidence when writing tasks were connected to their personal experiences. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar weaknesses, and time constraints still emerged. To address these, the teacher implemented scaffolding, modeling, peer collaboration, and authentic tasks, which helped students improve both writing skills and motivation. Overall, the study confirms that CTL is an effective framework for enhancing students’ writing ability and engagement in English learning.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of AI ChatGPT in enhancing writing skills among Indonesian EFL learners at MA NWDI Tembeng Putik. A qualitative case study was conducted with 30 senior high school students using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students benefited from ChatGPT in three main areas: improving grammar accuracy, strengthening coherence in essay organization, and supporting autonomous revision. Many students also reported that ChatGPT provided useful prompts when they faced difficulties generating ideas, although its impact on writing confidence was more limited. These results suggest that ChatGPT can serve as a valuable supplementary tool for EFL writing instruction, particularly in resource-limited classrooms. However, the study emphasizes the need for teacher guidance to ensure that AI use fosters critical thinking and responsible learning practices.

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.
