Despite the fact that the perception of most of the students was very positive, there were still some students who disagreed with this thing. After conducting interviews, it was discovered that the reason they gave a negative perception of jumbled words was because basically they did not understand grammar. Their lack of understanding of grammar made them hated the lesson, which ultimately caused them to have a negative perception on the learning activity implemented in teaching grammar itself. Therefore, teachers are expected to pay more attention to students who give negative perceptions, in other words those who do not understand grammar. Apart from that, teachers are also expected to be able to provide great learning activities in teaching grammar to students. Thus, whatever learning activities are applied in grammar learning later, they can enjoy it.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the challenges faced by English teachers in implementing Game-Based Learning (GBL) for young learners at SD RK II Fransiskus Padang. This research employs a qualitative descriptive design, with data collected through interviews. The methodology focuses on identifying technological, pedagogical, and content-related challenges in GBL implementation.The findings reveal that technological challenges include limited student access to mobile devices and the absence of interactive monitors, hindering direct engagement. Pedagogically, while GBL enhances motivation and participation, it also creates classroom management difficulties, leading to teacher exhaustion. To address disengaged students, teachers use adaptive grouping strategies. In contrast, no major content-related challenges were found, as teachers can easily access suitable learning materials online.In conclusion, despite technological and pedagogical challenges, GBL remains an effective method for improving student engagement in English learning. Schools should invest in better technological resources, and teachers need to refine classroom management strategies to maximize GBL’s benefits. Future research could explore strategies to further enhance GBL implementation and its long-term impact on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students’ self-reflection practices in grammar learning among students of the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP). The main focus of the research includes the forms of self-reflection employed by students, their perceptions of its importance, and the challenges they encounter in applying self-reflection throughout the grammar learning process. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through in-depth interviews. The interview questions were based on seven key indicators of self-reflection: journaling, talking with peers, practicing mindfulness, engaging in creative expression, spending time alone, attending counselling, and speaking or podcasting. The population of this study consisted of students who had completed all grammar courses in the English Education Program at UNP. The findings indicate that most students engage in self-reflection as part of their learning routine, either through written journals or personal contemplation. Students acknowledge that self-reflection aids in recognizing their weaknesses, correcting errors, and deepening their understanding of grammar. However, several challenges were identified, including a lack of guidance from lecturers, time constraints, and low levels of self-awareness among some students. These findings emphasize the vital role of self-reflection in enhancing the effectiveness of grammar learning and point to the need for institutional support to systematically incorporate reflective practices into the learning process.

One of the solutions offered was that its various features utilize the need to manage to teach large English classes. The design of the research was casual-comparative research where two groups were compared based on their mean score of the four tests. They were the first and second quiz scores, the scores of students’ mid-semester exams, and their final scores. The first group studied consisted of 50 students taught using the old normal way, while the other group consisted of 50 students also studied by utilizing the availability of their online learning platform or the university LMS. The data were analyzed using parametric statistic, since the data distribution was normal, then independent t test was applied.  The data were used to answer the hypothesis whether or not there was a significant difference between the two groups. The research findings showed that the significant two-tailed independent test was lower than the 0.05 alpha significant, therefore, it was concluded that there was significant different between the two groups.
