Abstract

Writing recount texts requires students to retell past experiences coherently while applying appropriate grammatical features, especially past tense forms, prepositions, noun pluralization, articles, pronouns, conjunctions, and punctuation. However, EFL students frequently experience difficulties in producing grammatically accurate recount texts. This study aims to identify and classify the most frequent grammatical errors found in students’ recount text writing. The study employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 40 third-year students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from students’ written recount texts about unforgettable personal experiences, which were written in class within 60 minutes. The data were analyzed using an error analysis procedure consisting of error identification, classification, tabulation, and percentage calculation. The errors were categorized into verb forms, prepositions, noun pluralization, articles, pronouns, conjunctions, and punctuation or writing mechanics. The findings revealed that verb form errors were the most frequent, occurring in 92.5% of students’ texts, followed by preposition errors at 85%, noun pluralization errors at 75%, article errors at 57.5%, pronoun errors at 52.5%, conjunction errors at 37.5%, and punctuation errors at 22.5%. These results indicate that students had not fully mastered the grammatical features required in recount writing, particularly the consistent use of past tense forms. The study suggests that grammar instruction should be integrated with genre-based writing practice, explicit feedback, and remedial activities focused on students’ recurring grammatical problems. The findings provide pedagogical input for English teachers in designing more effective writing instruction to improve students’ grammatical accuracy and overall writing quality.

The results of research using Pearson Product Moment obtained r count value of 0.700 and with the product value of r products when products with N = 28 found 0.478 at 1% significance level and found 0.374 at a significant level of 5%. To find out the level of product moment correlation the coefficient of 0.61-0.80 = substantial. This can be seen in the results of the analysis, namely: 0.700> 0.478 (5%) and 0.700 0.374 (1%) with db: 28. This means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The conclusion of this research is that there is a significant relationship between students 'self-confidence and the eight-year students' speaking ability in SMPN 9 Pinrang.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology into educational practices has become increasingly important in promoting students’ creativity, innovative character, and active participation in twenty-first-century learning environments. Digital learning offers opportunities to transform conventional teaching approaches into more interactive, collaborative, and student-centered educational experiences. This study aims to explore digital learning practices in fostering students’ creativity and innovative character at UPT SMP Negeri 1 Panca Rijang, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study adopts a qualitative research approach using a case study design to investigate the implementation of digital learning, teachers’ instructional strategies, students’ learning experiences, and the opportunities and challenges associated with technology integration. Data are collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of instructional activities and school facilities. The data are analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and methodological triangulation are employed to strengthen the trustworthiness of the findings. The investigation focuses on the use of digital learning resources, multimedia materials, technology-supported classroom interactions, and innovative instructional activities that potentially encourage students to generate original ideas, demonstrate creative thinking, collaborate with peers, and develop problem-solving skills. Particular attention is given to teachers’ digital pedagogical competencies, students’ engagement, and institutional support for technology-enhanced learning. The study is expected to provide contextual insights into how digital learning practices can support creativity and innovative character development in Indonesian junior high schools. Its anticipated contributions include practical recommendations for teachers, school administrators, and educational stakeholders seeking to strengthen digital pedagogical practices and promote meaningful, creative, and innovative learning environments.
