Abstract

Reading skill relies heavily on the reader’s comprehension. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, the presence of more than one language creates variation in both context and content during the reading process. In Indonesia, EFL learners often rely on teachers who assist their reading comprehension by translating unfamiliar words. This occurs because many students are not yet familiar with the vocabulary used in texts. This study focuses on teacher-created materials designed to support students’ understanding. The teacher used the Oxford 3000 word list to determine difficulty levels. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) as its methodology, consisting of two cycles: the first cycle applied the direct teaching method, while the second implemented problem-based learning. In both cycles, the teacher provided materials based on the Oxford word levels. The results indicated that students' reading comprehension and motivation improved. The study suggests that formative assessment should be further developed in future research.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the extent to which the implementation of the Task-Based Learning (TBL) model can enhance the ability of Grade XI students at a public senior high school in Surabaya to write analytical exposition texts. Conducted as a Classroom Action Research over ten weeks, the study comprised three cycles. The first two cycles applied the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach, while the third cycle introduced TBL as the main instructional intervention. Each cycle followed the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through writing assessment rubrics, classroom video recordings, and teacher reflection sheets. The findings revealed that although collaborative methods like PjBL encouraged initial engagement, they were insufficient in fostering independent writing skills. In contrast, the application of TBL in the third cycle, featuring context-rich, differentiated writing tasks conducted without gadget use, significantly improved students’ abilities in constructing arguments, organizing ideas, and using linguistic features accurately. The average student score rose to 75.78, with 55.56% of students reaching the minimum target score of 75, thus meeting the study’s success criteria. Additionally, student engagement improved markedly, particularly in focus, initiative, and language accuracy. These findings indicate that Task-Based Learning is an effective instructional approach for developing analytical exposition writing skills at the secondary level, especially when supported by leveled tasks and structured formative assessment.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the recount text writing skills of tenth-grade students through the implementation of the Game-Based Learning (GBL) method using the "Treasure Hunt" game. Preliminary study conducted in class X-4 at SMAN 20 Surabaya revealed that many students experienced difficulties in accurately using the simple past tense in recount text writing. Out of 35 students, 62.86% (22 students) scored below the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM). This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, consisting of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, conducted over two cycles. In the first cycle, only 51% of students met the KKM. However, in the second cycle, after the application of GBL through the "Treasure Hunt" game, the percentage of students who met the KKM significantly increased to 97%, with an average score of 91. These results indicate that GBL effectively creates an engaging learning environment, enhances students’ motivation and active participation, and significantly improves their ability to write recount texts using the simple past tense. Therefore, the implementation of game-based learning is recommended as an alternative strategy in English language instruction, particularly for enhancing students’ writing competence.
