Abstract

This research aims to determine if the jigsaw technique is effective for improving grammar mastery in writing recount texts compared to conventional methods. Using a quasi-experimental design, two classes of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Siantar were studied. The experimental class was taught using the Jigsaw technique, while the control class used conventional methods. Both classes received pretests and posttests to assess their understanding. The experimental class's average scores increased from 54 to 80.46, whereas the control class's scores rose from 53.21 to 71.21. The results, with a t-value of 2.44 compared to a t-table value of 2.00, indicate that the Jigsaw technique significantly improves students' ability to write recount texts, rejecting the null hypothesis.

Abstract

Discourse Analysis (DA) has emerged as a critical instrument in social sciences to uncover power dynamics and social realities, particularly within the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, researchers often encounter methodological ambiguity when selecting the most appropriate framework among diverse linguistic traditions. This study conducts a critical comparative analysis of three dominant paradigms: M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, Teun A. van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive Approach, and Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (as discussed in O'Regan, 2021). Using a qualitative library research method, this study deconstructs the epistemological foundations and analytical tools of each approach. The findings indicate that Halliday’s framework offers a microscopic lens on textual texture and register, van Dijk’s approach bridges text and society through cognitive mental models, while Fairclough’s model examines the dialectical relationship between language and institutional power. The study concludes with a comparative matrix, providing a methodological roadmap for researchers to align these frameworks with specific social inquiries, such as education, inequality, or policy analysis.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, particularly for students at the secondary school level. However, many students still experience difficulties in understanding narrative texts due to limited vocabulary, low motivation, and monotonous teaching media. This study aims to improve students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts through the use of Picture Series as an instructional medium. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a quantitative approach and was conducted with tenth-grade students of a vocational high school. The research was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The data were collected through reading comprehension tests and classroom observations. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the mean score and the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM ≥ 75). The results showed that students’ reading comprehension improved significantly. In Cycle I, the mean score was 53 with only 6.67% of students achieving the KKM. After improvements were made in Cycle II through more systematic use of Picture Series, the mean score increased to 82, and 83.33% of students achieved the KKM. These findings indicate that Picture Series effectively support students in understanding narrative text structures and sequences of events. Therefore, Picture Series can be recommended as an effective instructional medium for teaching reading comprehension of narrative texts.

Abstract

The Indonesian digital communication landscape is characterized by massive code-mixing (CM) phenomena reflecting Gen Z's hybrid identity. This study aims to synthesize CM semantic trends on digital platforms (TikTok , Instagram, WhatsApp) for the 2015-2025 period using Geoffrey Leech's seven types of meaning framework. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA 2020 protocols, 25 high-quality articles (average MMAT score of 82%) were thematically analyzed. Findings indicate that CM is not a language deficit but a Society 5.0 adaptive strategy dominated by connotative (38%) and affective (28%) meanings to build cyber solidarity. Despite its prevalence, a pedagogical gap was identified where 68% of studies ignore social-reflective dimensions and the national curriculum remains laggard in responding to these dynamics. This study recommends a reorientation of digital literacy through contextual semantic modules to bridge language competence disparities in the global era.

Abstract

Reading is a crucial skill in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning, as it enables students to access information, expand vocabulary, and strengthen comprehension abilities. However, many Indonesian junior high school students continue to face difficulties in understanding English texts due to limited strategy use and a tendency to read word by word. Although previous studies have shown the effectiveness of skimming and scanning techniques in improving reading comprehension, most research has focused on senior high school or university students, leaving a gap in evidence at the junior high school level, particularly in small urban contexts such as Pematangsiantar. This study aimed to examine the influence of skimming and scanning techniques on eighth-grade students’ reading achievement at SMP Teladan Pematangsiantar. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups was employed, involving 60 students selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected through a 20-item multiple-choice reading test and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings showed that the experimental group achieved a higher post-test mean score (89.00) than the control group (77.00), with a significant difference confirmed by the t-test result (t-observed = 4.10 > t-table = 2.00). The results indicate that skimming and scanning techniques effectively enhance students’ reading comprehension. In conclusion, strategy-based instruction provides meaningful benefits for junior high school learners, supporting improved performance and engagement in reading Activites

Abstract

Writing is an essential skill in English learning, especially in writing recount texts, which require students to organize ideas chronologically and coherently. However, many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing content, and maintaining motivation in writing. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping Strategy on students’ writing ability in recount text of X grade at SMA Swasta Kampus Nommensen Pematangsiantar. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research design. The participants of this study were 23 students selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected through writing tests (pre-test and post-test), observations, and open-ended questionnaires. Students’ writing was assessed using an analytic scoring rubric covering content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ writing ability after the implementation of the Mind Mapping Strategy. The mean score increased from 69.09 in the pre-test to 87.45 in the post-test. The results indicate that mind mapping helped students generate ideas, organize their thoughts, and write more coherent recount texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Mind Mapping Strategy is effective in improving students’ writing skill in recount text and is recommended for use in teaching writing at the senior high school level.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Scrambled Text Technique on students’ ability to identify the generic structure of recount text. The research was conducted at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar, with the students of Class X TJKT 3 as the research sample. This study used a one-group pretest–posttest pre-experimental design. Although suitable for measuring changes after treatment, it is limited by internal validity threats and lacks a control group. Short instructional periods and consistent materials were applied to reduce these threats, with future research recommended to use a control group.   The instrument used in this research was a test in the form of recount text tasks that required students to identify the generic structure of the text.The data were collected through pre-test and post-test, and the results were analyzed by comparing students’ scores before and after the treatment, The findings revealed that the students’ mean score increased from 48.40 in the pre-test to 69.00 in the post-test, with a mean gain score of 21.00 after the implementation of the Scrambled Text Technique. The gain score analysis also revealed that all students experienced improvement, with no decrease in scores. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the Scrambled Text Technique has a positive effect on students’ understanding of the generic structure of recount text. These findings provide empirical support for the use of the Scrambled Text Technique as an effective instructional approach in enhancing students’ mastery of recount text generic structure in vocational high school contexts.

Abstract

Reading comprehension plays an important role in English language learning because it enables students to construct meaning, acquire knowledge, and develop language proficiency. However, many vocational school students still experience serious difficulties in understanding descriptive texts, which are an important part of the English language curriculum. Previous studies have highlighted that students often experience difficulties due to limited vocabulary, insufficient knowledge of grammar, lack of background understanding, and low motivation. However, few studies have examined this issue in the context of vocational education. Therefore, this study aims to investigate students' difficulties in understanding descriptive texts at SMK Swasta 1 Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method involving observation, interviews, and document analysis to identify the types and causes of students' difficulties. The results of the study show that the main problems experienced by students are a lack of vocabulary mastery, difficulty recognizing the general structure of descriptive texts, misunderstanding of main ideas and specific information, and confusion about grammar, especially in the use of simple tenses and adjectives. In addition, low reading motivation and over-reliance on translation tools also have a negative impact on students' comprehension. This study concludes that these difficulties arise from linguistic, cognitive, and affective factors. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to design more effective reading strategies and improve students' understanding of descriptive texts in English as a foreign language.

Abstract

This study analyzes the experiential metafunction in Christina Perri’s song A Thousand Years using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with emphasis on the transitivity system. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed by segmenting the lyrics into clauses and identifying process types, participants, and circumstances. The analysis reveals six process types, with mental processes dominating (39%), followed by relational (28%) and material processes (22%), while verbal, behavioral, and existential processes appear minimally. The findings indicate that the song constructs meaning primarily through emotional expression, psychological states, and identity rather than physical action. Linguistically, the transitivity patterns represent themes of eternal love, fear, hope, and emotional endurance. This study demonstrates that song lyrics serve as meaningful linguistic data for exploring experiential meaning and may be effectively applied in language learning contexts, particularly in the teaching of functional grammar and discourse analysis.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penggunaan ekspresi deiksis dalam teks pidato Hari Sumpah Pemuda yang disampaikan oleh kepala sekolah dalam konteks seremoni akademik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif. Sumber data penelitian adalah teks pidato resmi peringatan Hari Sumpah Pemuda ke-97 tahun 2025 yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pemuda dan Olahraga Republik Indonesia dan dibacakan pada upacara di lingkungan sekolah. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik dokumentasi dengan mengidentifikasi kalimat dan klausa yang mengandung ekspresi deiksis. Analisis data dilakukan berdasarkan kerangka pragmatik untuk mengklasifikasikan dan menjelaskan fungsi deiksis yang digunakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga jenis deiksis yang dominan, yaitu deiksis persona, deiksis temporal, dan deiksis spasial. Deiksis persona berfungsi membangun solidaritas dan identitas kolektif antara penutur dan audiens, deiksis temporal menghubungkan peristiwa masa lalu, kondisi masa kini, dan harapan masa depan, sedangkan deiksis spasial membangun ruang kebangsaan secara literal dan simbolik. Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa deiksis tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai unsur kebahasaan, tetapi juga sebagai strategi pragmatik dalam menyampaikan nilai-nilai nasional dalam pidato seremoni di konteks pendidikan.
