Abstract

This research aims to enhance students’ English vocabulary mastery through explicit morphological instructions as well as to investigate students’ perceptions of its usage during online learning. This research was a classroom action research consisting of two cycles. The researchers employed a test, observation sheet, and questionnaire to obtain the data. Furthermore, the data gathered was analysed using simple statistical analysis such as average score, percentage, and percentage enhancement. After implementing explicit morphological instructions, there was an enhancement in students’ vocabulary mastery. In cycle 1, the enhancement of the average score from pre-test to post-test was 7.9%. Therefore, the team concurred to conduct cycle 2. In cycle 2, the improvement of students’ vocabulary mastery achieved 27%. This percentage surpassed the success criteria of this action research (15%). Therefore, the team ended the action research. In addition, the students also responded to the usage of explicit morphological instructions positively. Most of the students agreed or strongly agreed with each item in the questionnaire. These results indicate positive responses. In short, explicit morphological instructions could promote students’ vocabulary mastery, and this strategy receives positive feedback from the students.

Abstract

English structure is one of the principal elements considered problematic by many students. Therefore, every teacher is always encouraged to use the effective teaching ways. One of the proposed ways in teaching English grammar is using media like humour stories. As suggested teaching media, humour stories require an examination. Therefore, this research attempts at finding out the effectiveness of humour stories to teach grammar and maintaining students’ learning motivation. The method employed was quasi-experimental research. The instruments used were a test, questionnaire, and field note. The participants of this study were two classes of English Language Teaching Department. The students learnt some grammar topics such as past simple, present perfect, passive voice of past tense, passive voice of present perfect, passive voice of present simple, passive voice of present continuous, passive voice of present future, relative clause, and noun clause. The results reveal that humour is an effective teaching media for grammar. The significance of 2-tailed (0.035) was lower than 0.05. There is a significant difference between control and experimental group. Furthermore, the result of the questionnaire shows that the usage of humour positively influenced the learners’ motivation. The observation results also reveal that the teaching atmosphere in the experimental class is getting better in each meeting.
