Abstract

This study aims to analyze the difficulties encountered by Grade 7 students at SMP Panca Budi Medan in understanding narrative texts in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that students face various challenges, including limited vocabulary, lack of understanding of narrative text structure, difficulty in making inferences, and low motivation toward reading. These difficulties are influenced by both linguistic and non-linguistic factors, such as students’ limited exposure to English reading materials and the lack of effective reading strategies. The study highlights the need for more interactive and strategy-based teaching practices to improve students' reading comprehension skills. It also recommends increased support from schools and teachers in promoting reading habits and providing engaging narrative texts suited to students' language proficiency levels.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the listening skills of students at STIKES Columbia Asia Medan and identify the factors that influence their listening comprehension. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through an IELTS-format listening test provided by the British Council and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that 45% of students achieved an “Excellent” level, 25% were categorized as “Very Good,” 10% as “Good,” and 20% as “Fair,” with no students falling into the “Failed” category. The qualitative findings revealed several key factors affecting listening performance, including limited vocabulary, difficulties in understanding foreign accents, lack of concentration, minimal exposure to authentic English, unfamiliarity with test formats, and psychological aspects such as anxiety. The study concludes that British Council listening materials can effectively support listening skill development, but they must be complemented by comprehensive teaching strategies and consistent practice.

Abstract

This study examines the experiences of English lecturers and nursing students utilising kinaesthetic games to learn prepositions of place in an English for Nursing course in Medan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate three primary themes: lecturers' experiences in employing kinaesthetic games, students' learning experiences, and the perceived advantages and challenges of the methodology. Both teachers and students said that kinaesthetic games made the classroom more lively, interesting, and interactive. Activities that involved movement helped students understand spatial meanings better, made them more confident, and made them less anxious about grammar. The games also helped kids work together and remember things better. But there were some problems, such as not enough room in the classroom, not enough time to get ready, and more noise. In general, the study finds that kinaesthetic games are a good way to teach prepositions of place in the Indonesian EFL nursing context. They have cognitive, emotional, and social benefits that help students learn grammar in a more meaningful way.
