Abstract

Dengan munculnya pandemi Covid-19 minat dan kemampuan guru dalam menulis karya ilmiah menjadi sangat kurang karena guru disibukkan dengan pembelajaran online atau pembelajaran jarak jauh yang kadang pelaksanaannya banyak menyita waktu guru. Dalam kondisi ini penelitian dan penulisan karya ilmiah kadang dikesampingkan. Dengan melihat kondisi guru tersebut, pihak SMA Negeri 1 Gombong melakukan penyegaran pemahaman penelitian khususnya PTK serta penyusunan artikel ilmiah untuk publikasi di jurnal ilmiah dengan kegiatan in house training (IHT) dengan tim pengabdian dari Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo sebagai narasumber. Peserta kegiatan tersebut adalah seluruh guru dan kepala sekolah yang diselenggarakan secara blended yaitu pertemuan tatap muka dan pertemuan tatap maya secara daring untuk pendampingan penyusunan rancangan PTK maupun karya ilmiah. Hasil dari kegiatan ini terjalinnya kerja sama antara pihak tim pengabdian UM Purworejo dan SMA Negeri 1 Gombong dalam pembuatan rancangan penelitian serta draf artikel ilmiah yang akan dipublikasi di jurnal ilmiah.

Abstract

The choice of instructional media is pivotal, requiring innovation and practicality. One such medium that has demonstrated considerable promise is the Audiobook, whose effectiveness has already been demonstrated in the context of ELT in Azerbaijan. Building upon this precedent, the present study seeks to adapt this medium for implementation in Indonesia, employing distinct instruments and datasets. The overarching aim of this research endeavor is to assess the viability of Audiobooks as an instructional medium for teaching question tags to ninth-grade students in Indonesia. To rigorously investigate this question, the research design adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing an experimental methodology. The study selects two classes from the ninth-grade population as the sample, encompassing a total of 56 students. Data analysis techniques encompass both descriptive and inferential methods, with the Mann-Whitney U-test applied.. The findings reveal a noteworthy outcome: the achievement of students in the experimental group, exposed to Audiobook-based instruction, surpasses that of the control group. Crucially, this difference is statistically significant, as evidenced by the z-value exceeding the critical z-table value (6.198 > 1.96). Consequently, it is possible to conclude that Audiobooks serve as an effective method for teaching question tags to ninth-grade students in Indonesian junior high schools. These results contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the integration of innovative media, such as Audiobooks, into ELT practices. Moreover, they underscore the adaptability and potential transferability of such instructional approaches across diverse educational contexts, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical innovation in fostering effective language learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Storybird in improving junior high school students’ writing skills and creativity in narrative text. The research employed Classroom Action Research involving 32 eighth-grade students at a junior high school in Purworejo, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations and writing tests to monitor students’ progress in narrative writing skills and creativity. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings. Writing assessments were administered three times: a pre-cycle test, a test in Cycle I, and a test in Cycle II. The results revealed a substantial improvement in students’ writing performance, with mean scores increasing from 56 in the pre-cycle to 65 in Cycle I, and further rising to 87 in Cycle II. In addition, students’ creativity showed progressive enhancement across the cycles, shifting from low creativity in the pre-cycle to creative in Cycle I and highly creative in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the implementation of Storybird effectively enhances both writing skills and creativity in narrative text. The study implies that integrating digital storytelling applications into English language instruction can significantly support students’ skill development and creative expression, particularly in writing.

Abstract

Based on the initial observation, many Senior High School students are lack of motivation in reading English texts. One of the reasons is because the students do not understand the vocabulary use in the text, parcularly when the text a bit long. This study aims to improve students' reading comprehension skills through the Look and Say method. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach consisting of four stages: planning, implementing, observation, and reflection. Participants in this study were grade XII students of SMA N 5 Purworejo. The subjects of this study were twelfth-grade students which consisted of 35 students, 10 of them are male and 15 students are female. Data were collected through observation and tests, then analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed a significant increase in students' reading skills after the application of the Look and Say method. The increase was seen from the pre-cycle stage to cycle 1, and from cycle 1 to cycle 2. The average score increased from 63.52 in the pre-cycle, to 68.28 in cycle 1, and 71.42 in cycle 2. This indicates that the Look and Say method is effective in improving students' reading skills.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study analyzing the persuasive language found in Instagram captions of four skincare advertisements: Pond’s (@pondsindonesia), Skintific (@skintificid), Somethinc (@somethincofficial), and The Originote (@theoriginote). The types of persuasive language were identified based on Lamb’s theory (2014). Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher collected forty data samples from the four skincare brands, with each brand contributing ten Instagram posts. From the forty captions analyzed, the distribution of persuasive language features was as follows: alliteration (1 caption), allusion (4 captions), analogy (2 captions), appeals (3 captions), cliché (1 caption), colloquial language (1 caption), connotation (1 caption), emotive language (3 captions) , evidence (4 captions), hyperbole (2 captions), imagery (1 caption), inclusive language (3 captions), jargon (2 captions), metaphor (3 captions), pun (3 captions), and rhetorical question (6 captions). Among all the persuasive language features identified, rhetorical questions were the most frequently used in skincare advertisements. This highlights the strategic role of rhetorical questions in engaging consumers through Instagram captions. Building on these findings, future research could expand the dataset, compare platforms or product categories, and examine audience responses to evaluate the effectiveness of such strategies.

Abstract

Can an AI-powered pop-up book genuinely move the needle on reading comprehension for young EFL learners? This study examined that question through a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 21 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Sidomulyo, Indonesia. The AI Pop-Up Book media — combining interactive three-dimensional visuals with adaptive AI feedback — was implemented across structured reading sessions, with learning outcomes measured via a 15-item comprehension test and analyzed using Paired Samples t-Test and Normalized Gain (N-Gain). Results revealed a statistically significant improvement from a mean pretest score of 68.33 to a posttest score of 76.43 (t(20) = 3.179, p = 0.005), with a concurrent reduction in score variability suggesting more equitable learning gains across the class. While the group mean N-Gain of 0.072 appears modest, it is substantially skewed by a single ceiling-effect outlier; when excluded, over half the students (52.38%) achieved moderate to high individual gains. These findings demonstrate that AI Pop-Up Book media holds genuine promise for elementary EFL reading instruction, provided it is supported by adequate teacher scaffolding, digital literacy preparation, and extended implementation time.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze differences in the implementation of deep learning in English language instruction at Senior High Schools (SMA) and Vocational High Schools (SMK). This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation and interviews with two English teachers at SMA and two English teachers at SMK. The data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model that includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of deep learning in both educational levels equally apply the principles of meaningful, joyful, and mindful learning. In high schools, learning focuses more on developing critical thinking and communication skills through activities such as speaking classes and group discussions linked to students’ daily lives. Meanwhile, in vocational high schools, learning is more oriented toward workplace needs, such as job interview simulations, writing job applications, and skill-based projects aligned with students’ fields of expertise. The main difference lies in the orientation of learning, where high schools emphasize academic and communication aspects, while vocational high schools place greater emphasis on work readiness and vocational contexts. Nevertheless, both levels share the same goal: to create active, meaningful, and relevant learning experiences for students.
