Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Mistake Buster Technique in improving the writing achievement of tenth-grade students at SMK Yayasan Bakti Prabumulih. The objective was to determine whether the use of this technique effectively enhanced the students' ability to write recount paragraphs. An experimental design was employed for this study, specifically a group pretest and posttest design. The population consisted of all tenth-grade students at SMK Yayasan Bakti in the academic year 2021–2022, totaling 60 students. A sample of 28 students was selected using purposive sampling, with 28 students assigned to the experimental group (X TKJ 1) and 32 students to the control group (X TKJ 2). The data were collected through pretests and posttests and analyzed using SPSS 23 software. The results revealed that the experimental group had an average posttest score of 68.03, while the control group had an average posttest score of 61.92. The critical value at a significance level of 0.05 for a one-tailed test with 62 degrees of freedom was 1.699. As the obtained t-value of 13.920 was higher than the t-table value, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. This indicates a significant difference between the tenth-grade students at SMK Yayasan Bakti who were taught using the Mistake Buster Technique for learning to write recount paragraphs and those who were not.

Abstract

This study investigates the teaching of speaking at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Sugihan. The research aims to describe the methods and strategies used by English teachers, the implementation of speaking activities, the materials used in teaching, and the types of speaking assessments applied in the classroom. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and questionnaires conducted with English teachers and students. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing following Miles and Huberman’s model to ensure transparency of analysis. The findings reveal that the teachers mainly used the Discovery Learning method supported by Drilling, Dialogue Practice, Storytelling, and Presentation activities. For instance, in the “Storytelling” activity, students retold short stories learned from the textbook, while in “Presentation,” they described their daily routines using PowerPoint slides. These approaches effectively encouraged students’ active participation in speaking practice. However, students’ low confidence and limited vocabulary often hindered their performance. In terms of teaching materials, teachers relied on English textbooks, worksheets, and online resources, although the use of digital media remained minimal due to limited school facilities. Furthermore, students’ speaking assessments were conducted through oral tests and classroom presentations, yet the absence of structured rubrics caused inconsistencies in evaluation. This study contributes to understanding how speaking instruction is practiced in rural secondary schools, emphasizing the need for improved motivation strategies and more systematic assessment tools to enhance students’ speaking competence.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) method in a ninth-grade classroom at SMP Negeri 4 Rambang Niru, aiming to enhance both reading comprehension and student motivation. A total of 28 students participated in this classroom action research project, which spanned an academic semester. To evaluate the effectiveness of the SQ3R methodology, the research employed test cycle implementation for reading comprehension assessments, alongside a motivation questionnaire adapted from the Attitude Motivation Test Battery (AMTB). This comprehensive approach allowed for a detailed examination of the interconnected variables of motivation and comprehension. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension abilities and a noticeable increase in motivation levels, with 85% of participants reporting enhanced interest in reading tasks. Furthermore, the findings illustrated that utilizing a structured approach like SQ3R not only deepened student engagement but also empowered learners to take ownership of their educational experiences. This aligns with existing literature underscoring the correlation between motivation and reading outcomes and suggests that motivated students generally display improved comprehension skills. The implications of this research emphasize the necessity for educators to integrate motivational techniques into reading instruction and suggest opportunities for further research across diverse educational contexts. Future studies may explore the long-term impacts of the SQ3R method on various age groups or demographic profiles, contributing to a broader understanding of its effectiveness in different learning environments.
