Abstract

AbstractThis study has two primary objectives: firstly, to assess the efficacy of the Anagram Technique in enhancing vocabulary mastery, and secondly, to establish its significance in vocabulary development for eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Sungai Kunyit. applying a quantitative approach along with the pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 32 eighth-grade students, comprising 18 males and 14 females from SMPN 5 Sungai Kunyit. Data collection utilized essay tests for both pre-test and post-test assessments. The gathered data underwent analysis using descriptive statistics in SPSS version 16.0. The researcher implemented data distribution, performed a paired sample t-test for hypothesis testing, and included Cohen's effect size to evaluate the Anagram Technique's impact on vocabulary mastery.The research findings indicated the effectiveness of the Anagram Technique, as demonstrated by significant mean score differences before and after treatment (64.63 and 88.94, respectively). The lower standard deviation of the pre-test (8.36) compared to the post-test (6.72) suggested successful treatment implementation. This success was further supported by the paired sample t-test in SPSS 16.0, revealing a notable result (Sig. 0.000) at an alpha level of 0.05. Consequently, the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) occurred since the significance value (Sig) was below ?. Furthermore, the calculated effect size using Cohen's method (1.61) emphasized a substantial impact of the Anagram Technique on enhancing vocabulary mastery. In summary, the analysis results collectively affirmed that the Anagram Technique was an effective pedagogical approach for cultivating vocabulary proficiency among eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Sungai Kunyit.

Abstract

Children residing in the Juvenile Correctional Facility (LPKA) generally experience school dropout, low literacy levels, and limited access to educational opportunities that promote empowerment. These conditions negatively affect their academic abilities, learning motivation, and self-confidence. This community service program was implemented to enhance basic English proficiency while simultaneously fostering creative expression through an integrative learning model that combines experiential language activities with creativity-based tasks. The results of the pre-test and post-test indicate substantial improvement: vocabulary mastery increased by 63%, the ability to construct simple sentences improved by 61%, and the use of functional expressions rose by 65%. Observations and interviews further revealed positive changes in learning attitudes, motivation, and students’ willingness to participate actively. Creative skills also improved significantly, with 80% of participants able to produce English mini posters, 75% successfully developing story cards with clear narrative sequences, 60% capable of presenting their work orally, and 80% demonstrating positive expressions and enthusiasm throughout the activities. These findings suggest that creativity-based language learning not only enhances linguistic competence but also strengthens emotional resilience and self-expression. Overall, the program serves as an effective empowerment strategy for juvenile residents, supporting their academic, psychological, and social development.
