Abstract

A quasi-experimental research was employed in this research. The objective of this research was aimed to determine the effect of the Jeopardy game on vocabulary mastery in eleventh grade at SMAN1 Kamang Magek. The SMAN1 Kamang Magek students in the eleventh-grade comprised the research's sample. The experimental class comprised of 23 students from XI MIPA 1. However, the control class comprised of 25 students from XI IPS 2. The pre-test and post-test parts of the vocabulary test that was obtained in this research were separated. 30 multiple-choice questions were used to build the instruments. According to data analysis using the Paired Sample T-Test, the experimental class's mean pre-test score was 19.96, while its mean post-test score was 60.26. It was undeniable that Jeopardy is used to instruct students perform better than those who are taught using non-Jeopardy. The research's null hypothesis (H0) is rejected since the data show that the 2-tailed significance value is less than 0.05 (0.05). The first hypothesis (Ha) is therefore accepted, and it is asserted that the Jeopardy game is effective in terms of vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Research gap (RG) becomes an important rhetorical work in research article introductions in all fields, especially in a competitive research publication atmosphere. A research article (RA) submitted to a reputable journal may be rejected because the writers fail to show the ‘niche’ in reviewing previous relevant studies to justify their research project. This research aims to find how writers in Applied Linguistics (AL) published in international journals of different quality in terms of their quartile value address the novelty in their journal article introductions. Forty articles were selected from eight different reputable international journals in AL of different tiers for the corpus of this study. The content analysis method under the umbrella of the qualitative approach was applied in the data collection and analysis. Six RG strategies, as suggested by Arianto et al. (2021), were used as a model for analysis and then the linguistic features used by the writers in realizing the RGs. The results show that among the six different RG strategies, the most frequently used by international writers are Strategy 2 (inadequate research) and Strategy 4 (contradictive/conflicting evidence). Among the four groups of RAs, those published in Quartile 1 journals used the most frequent strategies. The frequent linguistic features used by international writers are adversative conjunctions and adjective-modifying nouns to signal their RG strategies. To improve the quality of an article introduction, writers, especially novice writers, should use multiple strategies with the appropriate linguistic features.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyse questions included in English Teacher Association (MGMP) Published English Workbooks (LKS) for Senior High School in Padang based on Barrett’s Taxonomy in Reading Comprehension. The taxonomy consists of five stages which are “Literal Comprehension,” “Reorganization,” “Inferential Comprehension,” “Evaluation,” and “Appreciation.” The research design used for this research is descriptive qualitative, and the instruments used to gather necessary data are an observation checklist and interview questions. The analysed questions were classified based on the stages of Barrett’s taxonomy. The result of the analysis showed that from all the reading comprehension questions in all the workbooks observed, Inferential Comprehension is the stage that is applied by the questions the most, which is at 48.2%, followed by Literal Comprehension at 42.5%, Reorganization at 8%, Appreciation at 1%, and Evaluation at 0.3% of the total questions observed. Although all the stages of Barrett’s taxonomy are present in the workbooks, it does not imply that the taxonomy has been applied in the MGMP Published Workbooks, for the percentages of the questions from each stage do not resemble the recommended rates proposed for each of the stage. In addition to that, by interviewing members of the writing team of the workbooks, it was found that Barrett’s taxonomy had never been applied when constructing questions for the workbooks. This backs up the previous idea that Barrett’s was not applied in MGMP Published English workbooks.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the reading comprehension questions given by English Teachers at SMAN Kota Padang based on Barrett’s Taxonomy. This taxonomy has five levels, namely: Literal Comprehension, reorganization, Inferential Comprehension, Evaluation, and Appreciation. This study is being done using a descriptive qualitative research design. To gather the necessary data and information, the observation checklist and interview questions are used as instrumentation. The stages of Barrett's taxonomy were used to categorize the questions that were analysed. The results of this studyindicate that from all the reading questions gathered and observed at six schools and three grades, Inferential Comprehension level has the most questions with 40,07% of the total reading comprehension found in grade X, XI, and XII. It is followed by reorganization level at 35,91%, literal comprehension level at 23,01%, evaluation level at 0,39%, and appreciation level at 0,19%. While the conclusive English assessment at SMAN Kota Padang encompasses all facets of Barrett's taxonomy, its implementation is not necessarily reflected in the formulation of reading inquiries. This discrepancy arises from the dissimilarity between the question distribution across taxonomy stages and the advised proportional distribution. Correspondingly, insights gathered from discussions with the teachers indicated that Barrett's taxonomy had not been integrated into the question development process for the final English test. This affirmation further reinforces the notion that the reading comprehension questions given by English teachers have remained detached from the application of Barrett's taxonomy.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research aimed to find out the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions found in English textbooks “Bahasa Inggris Work in Progress” and “Pathway to English” and to investigate English teachers’ opinions on the cognitive levels of Barrett’s taxonomy. There are five levels in this taxonomy which are literal comprehension, reorganization, inferential comprehension, evaluation, and appreciation. The instruments of this research were a checklist table and a semi-structured interview. The result of the analysis showed that there were 117 questions (27%) for the literal comprehension level, 98 questions (22%) for the reorganization level, 176 questions (40%) for inferential comprehension level, 25 questions (6%) for evaluation level, and 21 questions (5%) categorized into appreciation level. The percentages of cognitive levels in the textbooks did not meet the recommended proportion. From the interview result, it was found that the English teachers considered Barrett’s taxonomy as the suitable and practical framework to analyse the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions. The teachers also stated that Barrett’s taxonomy aligns with Merdeka’s curriculum objectives.

The informants of this research were the English Teachers from 3 senior high schools in Lembah Gumanti. The participants of were 8 English Teachers’. The instruments of this research were a documents analysis and an interview. Based on the documents analysis, can be concluded that of eight informants only the six teachers who have a teaching module, and only three are using a Project-Based Learning module. The result showed that the analysis the teaching module wrote by English teachers found that the teachers have been able to write teaching modules based on Project-Based Learning stages. The stages are written and explained in detail, starting with asking questions, guiding students to design projects, scheduling project completion, monitoring student activity and completion of projects, assessing student projects, and evaluating experiences. The teacher's difficulty in writing a teaching module is to divide every element that exists in the teaching module. In the previous curriculum, there were no elements in the lesson plan, and in the Merdeka Curriculum, each element has already emerged, so it is difficult for the teacher to write it. The teacher says that teaching module is more specific than lessons and does not have the core competence and basic competence of the lesson plan.
