Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to determine the effectiveness of picture media in improving the simple English sentence writing skills of seventh-grade students at a junior high school in Surabaya, Indonesia. The research, conducted in two cycles, utilized pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and open-ended questionnaires to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Initial findings from the pre-test indicated that the majority of students had difficulty constructing basic English sentences, with an average score of 69.03 and only 57.69% achieving the minimum passing criteria. Cycle I, which integrated picture media as a visual stimulus, showed a significant improvement, with the average post-test score increasing to 89.80 and learning mastery rising to 88.46%. However, Cycle II showed a slight decrease in the average post-test score to 87.88, although learning mastery remained the same. Qualitative data from the questionnaires indicated that grammatical challenges, a less conducive learning environment, and decreased student motivation contributed to this slight decline. While the use of picture media was initially proven beneficial in enhancing students' ability to produce simple sentences by providing context and stimulating ideas, this research highlights the need for a multi-faceted approach in teaching writing. This includes addressing grammatical understanding, managing classroom dynamics, and sustaining student engagement to achieve more consistent and significant improvements in writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) through video projects in improving junior high school students’ speaking skills in recount text. Speaking is considered the most challenging English skill due to students’ lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes. To address this, Project-Based Learning was implemented, allowing students to engage in real-world tasks by creating video recordings of their previous experiences. This method was expected to improve students’ speaking skill. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design following Kemmis and McTaggart’s model, involving planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Conducted at a junior high school in Surabaya during the 2024/2025 academic year, the study involved class VIII-E students who initially showed low participation in speaking activities. Data were collected through classroom observations and speaking tests. The result was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings were measured by improvements in students’ speaking score after the implementation of project-based learning. The result showed that students speaking ability were improved especially in grammar, pronunciation and structure. In addition, the students were more confident in speaking English after doing and watching their own video because they noticed their mistakes and they were able to correct the mistake. Despite the improvement, the students stated that they needed more speaking activities to enhanced their fluency in speaking English.
