Abstract

This study employs a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, specifically the one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample of the study consists of IX.1 class students at SMP Muhammadiyah Tilango, selected due to their low vocabulary skills based on interviews with teachers and researchers. The research aims to analyze the effect of problem-based learning on improving students' vocabulary in narrative texts. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the intervention. In addition, observations were conducted from the first to the fourth meeting to assess the effectiveness of the method. The results show a significant improvement in the vocabulary skills of the experimental class compared to the control class, which did not receive any treatment. Data analysis using the t-test reveals that the calculated t-value of 4.108 is greater than the t-table value of 2.119, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). Thus, it can be concluded that problem-based learning effectively improves students' vocabulary skills. This study implies that the problem-based learning method can be implemented as an effective approach to enhance vocabulary learning in secondary schools.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using the Riddles Technique in enhancing the English vocabulary of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 Kota Gorontalo. The study focuses on determining whether this technique can significantly improve students’ vocabulary mastery. The research was conducted using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research consisted of all seventh-grade students, and the sample was class VII-1, comprising 20 students selected through purposive sampling. In the implementation phase, students were engaged in various vocabulary-based riddles during English lessons. These riddles were designed to stimulate students’ interest, challenge their thinking, and enhance their word retention. The pre-test was administered to assess the students’ initial vocabulary level, followed by a series of learning sessions using the Riddles Technique, and concluded with a post-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores. The mean score increased from 43 in the pre-test to 71 in the post-test. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed that the significance value was 0.000, which is less than the standard alpha level of 0.05. This confirms that the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted, indicating a significant effect of the Riddles Technique on vocabulary enhancement. In conclusion, the Riddles Technique proves to be an effective and engaging method for improving students’ English vocabulary. It is recommended for English language teachers as an innovative strategy to increase students’ participation and vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL students’ perceptions of the repeated reading strategy as a method for enhancing reading fluency. Conducted within the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo during the 2024/2025 academic year, this research adopts a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 60 first-year students participated in the study through an online Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 30 items categorized into knowledge, perception (absorption, understanding, evaluation), and fluency (accuracy, speed, prosody) indicators. The findings reveal that students exhibit a predominantly positive to very positive perception of the repeated reading strategy. The highest mean scores were observed in prosody (86.33), followed by understanding (82.00), evaluation (82.34), and reading speed (81.89). Although accuracy scored slightly lower (74.44), it still fell within the positive range. These results affirm that students not only understand the purpose and benefits of repeated reading but also experience improvements in expression, comprehension, and confidence when reading aloud. This study supports the integration of repeated reading as an effective and well-perceived pedagogical tool in EFL contexts. It further emphasizes the need to consider students’ perceptions as an essential component in evaluating instructional strategies for reading fluency development.
