Abstract

Background (General): Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in language learning, essential for academic success and lifelong learning. Background (Specific): In the Indonesian junior high school context, students often struggle with reading comprehension due to limited access to engaging and interactive learning tools. Knowledge Gap: Despite the increasing availability of digital media, empirical evidence on the effectiveness of mobile reading applications like Let’s Read in improving students' reading comprehension remains limited. Aims: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Let’s Read application as a digital learning tool to enhance reading comprehension among eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah Pagar Alam. Results: Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, findings revealed that students in the experimental group—who used Let’s Read—demonstrated significantly higher gains in identifying main ideas, understanding contextual vocabulary, and making inferences compared to those taught with conventional methods. Novelty: The study provides new evidence on how interactive digital applications can enhance specific reading sub-skills in a formal educational setting. Implications: These results underscore the potential of integrating digital reading platforms into English language instruction to foster more effective and engaging learning experiences for junior high school students. Highlights : Demonstrates the effectiveness of Let’s Read in enhancing reading sub-skills. Fills the gap in research on digital reading tools in Indonesian schools. Recommends integrating digital media to improve English learning outcomes. Keywords: Let’s Read, Reading Comprehension, Digital Media, Junior High School, English Learning

Abstract

Figurative language is a way of beautifying certain expressions by using different words which have different meanings from their literal meanings. This study examines the use of metaphorical expressions in Coldplay's song lyrics. The data source were taken from ten songs of Coldplay’s various albums. The goal of this study is to identify the most common form of metaphorical language used in Coldplay’s song lyrics. The qualitative descriptive method was employed in this study. The results of this research show that the total number of figurative language expressions used in Coldplay’s song lyrics were 52 expressions. There were 12 metaphor, 11 personification, 8 hyperbole, 8 symbol, 7 synecdoche and 6 simile. The most dominant type of figurative language expression found in this study was metaphor. Therefore, it is important that teachers can bring this types of figurative language in their classrooms in order for students to get used to using and understand them.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of Gemini AI as a learning assistant in the writing class of fourth-semester students at STKIP Muhammadiyah Pagaralam. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed to 30 fourth-semester students from Class A (17 students) and Class B (13 students) selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. The findings reveal that students hold predominantly positive perceptions of Gemini AI, perceiving it as a comprehensive writing support tool that assists in idea generation, writing structure organization, writing quality improvement, time efficiency, vocabulary development, and overcoming writing difficulties. Students also reported increased confidence and motivation after using Gemini AI. However, challenges were identified, including concerns about output accuracy, potential dependency on AI, and issues related to plagiarism. Overall, Gemini AI functions as a multifaceted learning assistant that positively influences both the technical and emotional dimensions of students’ writing experiences, although balanced and critical use is strongly recommended.
