Abstract

This study aims to explore undergraduate students’ difficulties and how they cope with difficulties in EFL academic writing. Despite much research revealing the difficulties of undergraduate students in academic writing, relatively few studies implied academic writing difficulties in the higher education context. To fill this gap, this present study focused on exploring EFL students’ difficulties and how they cope with the difficulties in terms of lexical difficulties, grammar and punctuation, avoiding plagiarism, and text structure. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological case study design. Three undergraduate students were recruited as participants for this study. The data were collected through interview sessions employing open-ended questions adopting a three series of interviews by Seidman (2013) consisting of thirteen questions. The result showed similarities and differences in difficulties and the ways to cope with it. The result of this research is expected to support the lecturer to consider the students’ difficulties and their ways to cope with the difficulties where it can be applied in academic writing subject. Moreover, the difficulty in academic writing is important for students to examine the effective ways to cope with difficulties to become better academic writers.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Baamboozle in improving students’ reading comprehension of recount text. Low motivation and limited background knowledge are some of the reasons why students have difficulty understanding the text. This study used a quantitative design and was conducted at MTs Ma’arif Legok, involving 27 eighth-grade students. A pre-experimental design was employed, and the data were collected using random sampling with pre-test and post-test as the instruments. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. Based on the results of the study, the mean score of the pre-test is 54,07 and the mean score of the post-test is 76,67. The normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the significance values were higher than the significance level of 0.05 (0.111 > 0.05 and 0.169 > 0.05). This indicates that the data were normally distributed. Furthermore, the paired sample t-test revealed that (sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which is lower than the significance level of 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Baamboozle as a teaching media was effective in improving students’ reading comprehension of recount text. The researcher suggests that teachers use Baamboozle as an engaging alternative media for teaching reading comprehension. Future researchers are encouraged to examine its effectiveness in different contexts, levels, and language skills.
