Abstract

Reading is one of the English skills that has a significant role in helping students acquire English better and succeed in the academic field. Unfortunately, most students still struggle with reading comprehension, especially descriptive text. The students can still not scan what descriptive text tells about, although they have read it repetitively. This study is proposed to discover students’ difficulties in reading descriptive text. The method is qualitative design with 35 subjects. The data were collected through interviews and observation. The result of this study showed that the difficulties in reading comprehension faced by students are due to the fact that the length of the text can frustrate students to grasp the meaning. Secondly, there is a lack of vocabulary mastery; most students are poor in vocabulary mastery and face difficulty gaining information on descriptive text when they find unfamiliar words. Thirdly, when reading without strategies, most students only read the text without implementing the appropriate methods to comprehend it better. Fourthly, there is a lack of prior knowledge: most students do not have background knowledge of the topic they read. Lastly, limited reading practice, since students only practice reading when English subjects have limited reading references.

Abstract

This study investigates the anxiety levels of students at STKIP Muhammadiyah Aceh Barat Daya when taking the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) as one of the graduation requirements. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected from 70 English Education students 6 male and 64 female—who had taken the TOEFL but had not yet reached the passing score of 485 for the paper-based test. The Test Anxiety Questionnaire by Nist and Diehl, adapted by Muliawati et al. (2020), was used to measure cognitive, physical, and emotional aspects of anxiety. The results showed that the majority of students (77.1%) experienced moderate anxiety, followed by 18.6% with mild anxiety, and 4.3% with severe anxiety. Cognitive anxiety emerged as the most affected aspect, with difficulty choosing an answer being the most frequently reported symptom. These findings indicate that while anxiety is common during TOEFL testing, most students can manage it effectively. The study suggests the need for targeted strategies such as exam simulations, stress management training, and counseling services to help students optimize their performance

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of picture media in enhancing students’ procedural text writing skills through a quasi-experimental design involving 60 senior high school students, equally divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction supported by picture media, whereas the control group was taught using conventional methods. Pretests and posttests were administered, with data analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test for the experimental group (non-normal distribution), the Paired Sample t-Test for the control group, and the Mann–Whitney U Test to compare posttest scores between groups. The findings reveal that both groups demonstrated significant improvement; however, the experimental group achieved a greater mean gain score (27.26) compared to the control group (15.50) and a higher posttest mean (83.43 vs. 65.50). The Mann–Whitney U Test produced a p-value of 0.000, confirming a statistically significant difference in performance. The greatest improvement was observed in content development, followed by organization and vocabulary. These results highlight the effectiveness of picture media in fostering students’ comprehension, engagement, and ability to sequence ideas coherently when writing procedural texts. The study concludes that picture-based instruction offers a more impactful and inclusive pedagogical approach for teaching procedural text writing in senior high schools.

Abstract

One of the problems in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesia is students' lack of understanding the use of slang or casual language. This problem occur because learning in school generally emphasize grammar rather than casual use of everyday language, as often found in film or native conversations. Slang is usually difficult for students to understand because the context of its use is not always clear, and the meaning can be different from the literal meaning. In addition, the limited authentic partially open materials become an obstacle in presenting contextual and interesting learning. Based on this background, this study aims to analyze types of slang in the film Inside Out 2 and assess its potential as an authentic material to improve students' speaking skills. This research useds a qualitative method with a content analysis approach to the discourse script of the film to identify, classify, and interpret the use of various slang in each dialogue film. The results showed that there are various types of slang used naturally and according to the context of adolescent life, which are classified into five categories ; consiting of fresh and creative, flippant, imitative, acrinym, and clipping. For further research, it is suggested that the development of learning media be carried out by utilizing films that contain slang elements. This media can be a form of digital modules, interactive videos,or student worksheets (LKS) that include conversational exercises, context understanding, and active use of slang. This contextualized approach is believed to increase speaking ability and cultural understanding of native English speakers.

Abstract

This study aims to identify strategies employed by English teachers to enhance high school students’ speaking skills and to explore the challenges encountered in speaking instruction. A descriptive qualitative design was applied, with data collected through semi-structured interviews involving nine teachers from three sub-districts in Southwest Aceh. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with verification. The findings reveal that the strategies used include direct practice, role play, grammar translation, group discussion, interviews, cooperative learning, listen-and-repeat, video dialogue, and filler activities such as singing, games, icebreakers, and warm-ups. The most frequently implemented strategy was direct practice, proven effective in improving students’ fluency, accuracy, and confidence. However, teachers faced challenges such as limited study time at home, low motivation, lack of vocabulary, inattentiveness, and low self-confidence. The study recommends integrating interactive strategies with educational technology and fostering a supportive learning environment to encourage students to speak confidently and stay motivated.

Abstract

This study explores high school students’ English literacy in interpreting printed advertisements of hygienic products. Literacy in this context is understood not only as the ability to read and comprehend English texts but also as the competence to analyze persuasive language, visual symbols, and health-related discourses embedded in advertisements. Printed advertisements are authentic learning resources that expose students to real-life English usage, such as slogans, imperatives, and emotive language, while also challenging them to recognize exaggeration, hidden ideologies, and cultural references. Findings from recent studies indicate that adolescents often struggle with the multimodal aspects of advertisements, including the combination of text and image, and the implicit health messages. By engaging with such materials, students can strengthen their functional literacy, enhance their critical literacy, and develop awareness as responsible consumers. This highlights the importance of integrating advertisement analysis into English learning to foster both language proficiency and critical health literacy

Abstract

The background of this research was at the beginning of changing the teacher's curriculum as educators who had not been able to implement the new curriculum as a whole, so they were required to change the new curriculum from 2013 to the independent learning curriculum. This study aims to determine the impact of changing the educational curriculum on the learning motivation of students at SMPN 1 Jeumpa and SMPN 1 Blangpidie. The method used in this study uses descriptive methods by way of semi-structured interviews. The results of the study stated that the Independent Curriculum in the two schools was implemented quite well. Some schools are still designing the right formula for implementing the Independent Curriculum. Based on this description, the implementation of the Independent Curriculum after being analyzed is better and follows the educational culture. However, several things must be considered by policymakers and education implementers, so that the Independent Curriculum can be implemented properly and perfect the 2013 Curriculum in education at SMPN in Southwest Aceh.
