Abstract

Listening comprehension is a foundational yet challenging skill for EFL learners in Indonesia, primarily due to limited exposure to authentic spoken English and natural pronunciation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of audio recording media in enhancing the listening comprehension of recount texts among tenth-grade students. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the research involved 33 students at SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar as participants. Data were gathered through pre-test and post-test procedures utilizing a fill-in-the-blank listening instrument based on the recount text “My Holiday in Bali.” The findings demonstrate a substantial improvement in students' listening performance, with the mean score rising from 40.00 in the pre-test to 79.09 in the post-test, reflecting a 97.7% increase. Furthermore, the percentage of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM ≥ 75) surged from 6.1% to 66.7%. The results indicate that audio recording media fosters a conducive learning environment by providing repeated exposure, enhancing auditory resilience, and allowing students to internalize linguistic input at their own pace. Pedagogically, this study underscores the necessity of integrating technology-driven media to support student-centered and contextualized learning, fully aligning with the Merdeka Belajar framework to cultivate more autonomous and motivated learners.

Abstract

English has become an essential communication tool in modern military contexts, particularly in multinational operations and international cooperation. However, many military personnel still experience difficulties in using English effectively for professional communication. This study aims to examine the role of English for Military Purposes (EMP) in enhancing military personnel’s communication skills. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design using a library research method and needs analysis guided by ESP theory. The findings reveal that while reading skills are dominant for interpreting technical manuals, there is a significant gap in speaking and listening proficiency required for operational tasks. The study concludes that a needs-based and task-oriented EMP program, incorporating authentic materials and simulations, can significantly improve communication effectiveness and confidence in military professional settings.

Abstract

Music has long been recognized as a powerful educational tool in promoting emotional engagement and enhancing language learning motivation. However, few studies have explored how religious or emotionally expressive songs can be used effectively in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, especially within secondary education contexts. This study aims to analyze students’ perceptions toward the use of Beyoncé’s song “Ave Maria” as a medium to motivate English language learning at SMP Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through classroom observations, open-ended questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with eighth-grade students. The findings revealed that students demonstrated positive perceptions toward the use of the song, as its melody, emotional tone, and meaningful lyrics enhanced their understanding of vocabulary, pronunciation, and moral values. Moreover, the integration of music created a relaxed and enjoyable classroom atmosphere, which significantly increased students’ enthusiasm and participation. In conclusion, this study suggests that incorporating emotionally rich music, such as “Ave Maria,” can serve as an effective pedagogical tool to foster motivation and engagement in EFL learning environments.

Abstract

Grammar mastery plays a crucial role in developing students’ English proficiency; however, grammar instruction in junior high schools is often perceived as abstract and disengaging. Many students experience difficulties in understanding possessive pronouns due to traditional rule-based teaching methods that lack contextual relevance and meaningful application. This study aimed to improve seventh-grade students’ understanding of possessive pronouns through the implementation of the Contextual Learning Approach (CLA) at SMP Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar. This research employed a qualitative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles involving 32 students of class VII-5. The data were collected using tests, observation sheets, field notes, interviews, and documentation. The implementation of contextual learning activities emphasized real-life situations, such as identifying ownership through classroom objects and personal belongings, to help students construct grammatical understanding meaningfully. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ grammar mastery and classroom engagement. The students’ mean score increased from 60.06 in the pre-test to 83.25 in the final test, while the percentage of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion (70) improved from 37.5% to 90.6%. Qualitative findings indicated increased motivation, participation, confidence, and collaboration among students during the learning process. In conclusion, the Contextual Learning Approach effectively enhanced students’ understanding of possessive pronouns by linking grammatical concepts to real-life contexts. The study implies that contextual-based grammar instruction can create more meaningful, interactive, and student-centered learning environments, and it is recommended for teaching other grammatical topics in junior high school.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in learning English, as it enables students to understand written texts effectively and construct meaning from what they read. One of the main viralslot problems faced by junior high school students is difficulty in identifying the main idea of a text, which often results in poor overall comprehension. This difficulty is commonly caused by students’ limited reading strategies and lack of guided support during the reading process. Therefore, an effective instructional strategy is needed to help students improve their reading comprehension skills. This study aimed to improve students’ ability to identify main ideas through the implementation of the Guided Reading strategy at Grade VIII of SMP Swasta Teladan. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages.

The results of the study showed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension after the implementation of the Guided Reading strategy. The mean score increased from 61.2 in the pre-test to 82.0 in the post-test of Cycle II. Furthermore, the percentage of students who achieved the minimum mastery criterion (70) increased substantially from 13% in the pre-test to 93% in the final test. Observation results also indicated that students became more active, motivated, and confident during reading activities. In conclusion, the Guided Reading strategy was effective in improving students’ ability to identify main ideas and enhancing their overall reading comprehension. This study implies that Guided Reading can be an effective strategy for supporting students’ reading development in junior high school.

Abstract

Writing is one of the essential skills that students must master in learning English, as it enables them to express ideas and convey information effectively. However, many junior high school students still find it difficult to organize their thoughts and develop coherent report texts. This gap between the importance of writing and students' actual performance highlights the need for effective learning media. This study aims to improve students' writing ability in report text through the use of mind mapping media at the ninth grade of SMP Negeri 8 Pematangsiantar. The research was conducted using classroom action research (CAR) in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were 30 students of class IX-3. The data were collected through writing tests, observation sheets, and field notes. The results of the study showed that the students' writing ability improved significantly after the implementation of mind mapping media. The improvement could be seen in the students' ability to generate ideas, organize paragraphs, and use correct grammar and vocabulary in writing report texts. The mean score of students' writing increased from 63.4 in the pre-test to 81.2 in the post-test of the second cycle. It can be concluded that mind mapping media effectively enhances students' writing ability in report text. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to use mind mapping as an alternative learning tool to make writing activities more structured, engaging, and easier for students to understand.
