Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Building Words method in enhancing vocabulary mastery among second-grade students at SMPN 1 Majauleng. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 30 randomly selected students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest, with an intervention using the Building Words method between the two tests. Results show a significant improvement in students' average vocabulary scores, from 31 in the pretest to 91 in the posttest. Statistical analysis using paired t-test yielded a t-value of -81.168 with a p-value of 0.000, confirming the method's effectiveness. Students' ability classification shifted dramatically from "Very Poor" and "Poor" to "Good" and "Very Good". The Building Words method proved effective in enhancing vocabulary mastery through active student engagement, collaborative learning, and a multi-sensory approach. This research highlights the potential of the Building Words method for integration into language teaching curricula and adaptation to various educational contexts. While focusing on short-term effects, the results indicate potential long-term positive impacts on students' language abilities. Further studies are recommended to evaluate long-term vocabulary retention and the application of this method in other language skills.

Abstract

Keterampilan menulis yang baik memungkinkan pemikiran kritis dan komunikasi yang efektif, baik untuk tujuan akademik, profesional, maupun pribadi. Keberhasilan akademik, pemikiran kritis, dan komunikasi yang efektif bergantung pada kemampuan menulis yang baik. Namun, banyak siswa menghadapi kesulitan membuat tulisan yang mudah dipahami, ringkas, dan terorganisir. Latihan menulis tradisional tidak selalu melibatkan siswa atau menekankan keterampilan komunikasi dunia nyata. Kesenjangan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pengajaran kreatif harus digunakan untuk membantu siswa membangun keterampilan penting secara terstruktur selain membuat tulisan relevan dan menarik. Melalui penulisan yang terfokus dan berorientasi pada tujuan, pelatihan menulis berita menawarkan solusi yang ampuh untuk masalah ini. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pemaparan materi, praktik menulis berita dan Focus Group Discussion. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan selama pelatihan menulis berita, siswa mampu mengumpulkan informasi dari sumber yang dapat diandalkan, memverifikasi kebenaran, dan mensintesis informasi dari berbagai sudut pandang. Mereka juga dapat mengevaluasi kredibilitas sumber informasi dan mempraktikkan pengumpulan informasi yang dapat dipertanggung jawabkan selama pelatihan. Tim pengabdian menyimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan pelatihan menulis berita di SMK Laniang Makassar berjalan dengan baik dan memenuhi tujuan pengabdian.

Abstract

Writing skills remain a critical challenge for non-native English speakers, particularly in organizing ideas, vocabulary usage, and grammar mastery. Technology integration in language education shows promising results in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes, addressing the need for innovative teaching methods. This study investigates difficulties faced by eleventh-grade students at MAS AL-AMIN in developing English writing skills. Specific challenges include inadequate idea organization, limited vocabulary application, and insufficient grammar mastery. The research determines whether Prezi application implementation can effectively address these difficulties as an interactive visual learning tool. An experimental design involved 38 eleventh-grade students divided into experimental (Prezi-based instruction) and control (conventional methods). Data collection included pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires. Statistical analysis used SPSS 25 with descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests. Findings demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the experimental group's writing performance. The experimental group achieved 9.14 points higher average gain scores than the control group (p < 0.05), showing enhanced grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension abilities. Questionnaire results revealed increased student motivation and interest using Prezi.  This research contributes empirical evidence for interactive presentation tools' effectiveness in writing instruction. Prezi serves as a valuable alternative medium for English instruction, offering practical implications for educators integrating technology and theoretical contributions to understanding visual learning tools in language acquisition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Spelling Bee method in improving English vocabulary mastery of eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 17 Marusu. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, namely one-group pretest-posttest. A total of 25 students of class VIII.a were selected as research samples. Data were collected through vocabulary tests before and after treatment, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' vocabulary mastery after the Spelling Bee method was implemented. The average pretest score of students was 80.80, while the average posttest score increased to 98.00. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05), so the null hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is no significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is rejected. Conversely, the alternative hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is a significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is accepted. In addition, this method also increases students' motivation and participation in learning English. Thus, the Spelling Bee method can be considered as an effective learning strategy to improve students' English vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Education plays a vital role in shaping intelligent, well-mannered, and competitive generations. One of the main factors determining students’ learning success is their learning style the unique way individuals receive, process, and understand information. Every student has different learning tendencies, whether visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. This study aims to identify the factors influencing the learning styles of fourth-grade students at SD Tamalanrea and to analyze how these learning styles contribute to improving their achievement in English. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through closed questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, referring to the VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) model by (Barbe et al., 1979) and the learning style factors theory proposed by (Rita & Dunn, 1993). The expected results reveal variations in students’ learning styles and a positive relationship between the alignment of teaching methods and students’ preferred learning styles toward enhancing English learning achievement. This research is expected to provide practical insights for teachers in understanding students’ learning characteristics and in developing more effective and student-centered teaching strategies.

Abstract

Although writing scientific papers requires critical thinking and mastery of academic language, many students still struggle with coherence, logical structure, and proper citation. However, advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly prompt-based generative language models, offer new opportunities to support academic writing. The training included a presentation of the material and practical exercises, followed by questionnaires and interviews to explore students’ perceptions. The results indicated that the moderate and targeted use of AI, especially during the planning and revision stages, improved the clarity of the academic language and the cohesion between paragraphs. AI helped students overcome psychological barriers to writing, increasing their motivation without raising ethical concerns related to academic integrity and overreliance on AI-generated content. Overall, the community service team concludes that prompt-based AI can effectively enhance students’ scientific papers when used with critical reflection, guidance from lecturers, and strong ethical awareness.
