Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine students' ability to understand narrative text at SMPN 2 Susoh. This research used a quantitative research design with the research subject of 68 eighth graders by using a written test. The descriptive analysis indicated that the majority of the students are in the poor category. The findings suggest that limited vocabulary acquisition was a critical factor contributing to their poor performance, as many students struggled to engage with the test material effectively. This lack of vocabulary affected not only their ability to complete the test but also their overall comprehension of the narrative text. Based on the result, this study highlights the urgent need for educational strategies aimed at improving vocabulary acquisition among students at SMPN 2 Susoh. By addressing this deficiency, educators can help students develop better reading comprehension skills, which will ultimately improve their academic performance in english narrative texts.

Abstract

The Deep Learning Approach is increasingly viewed as a valuable educational model for preparing students with crucial 21st-century skills, including critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and effective communication. Nonetheless, the effective application of the approach is significantly influenced by the specific local context, the capabilities of implementers at various levels, and their understanding and interpretation of Deep Learning concepts and principles.  This research seeks to gain in-depth insights into practitioners' experiences and perspectives, as well as the support systems needed to implement a Deep Learning approach in schools in Southwest Aceh. This is a qualitative methodology that uses Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and interviews as the main methods of data collection, which were later analyzed using NVivo 12 software. The findings indicate that the implementation of Deep Learning remains in its early, fragmented stage, limited to a small number of schools, and primarily focused on preparatory activities such as teacher training, lesson planning, and limited dissemination. The study also reveals divergent stakeholder perspectives: the Education Office assumes a predominantly administrative role; school principals emphasize instructional leadership. At the same time, teachers demonstrate strong enthusiasm, but face constraints related to administrative workload and limited digital literacy. Furthermore, effective implementation requires systemic support, including alignment between national and local policies, strengthened digital infrastructure, and structured, sustained professional mentoring. These findings highlight the importance of context-responsive and system-level support in addressing implementation gaps and enabling effective Deep Learning practices in decentralized education systems.

Abstract

Meskipun bahasa Inggris telah diajarkan dalam kurikulum, kemampuan berbicara siswa masih belum optimal. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya penggunaan media pembelajaran interaktif, terbatasnya kesempatan praktik, serta minimnya pemanfaatan teknologi dalam pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa SMKN 1 Aceh Barat Daya agar lebih siap menghadapi tuntutan dunia kerja global dan perkembangan teknologi digital. Kegiatan ini melibatkan tiga dosen dan dua mahasiswa dari STKIP Muhammadiyah Aceh Barat Daya dengan metode ceramah, diskusi, dan demonstrasi. Program pelatihan memanfaatkan aplikasi Duolingo sebagai media pembelajaran adaptif yang memungkinkan siswa belajar secara mandiri. Sebagai bentuk evaluasi kegiatan, data kepuasan dari siswa (n=264) dari enam jurusan dikumpulkan melalui angket dan dianalisis menggunakan teknik deskriptif persentasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan jika pemanfaatan Duolingo terbukti meningkatkan antusiasme dan kebutuhan belajar mandiri siswa, sekaligus membantu guru menciptakan kelas interaktif yang mendukung kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

Developing elementary school students’ ability to construct simple English sentences remains a challenge, highlighting the need for engaging instructional media. This study investigated the effect of the English SingSing YouTube channel on students’ ability to construct simple English sentences. A quantitative approach employing a quasi-experimental posttest-only control group design was used. The participants were 42 fourth-grade students at Al A’raf Elementary School in Southwest Aceh, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through a writing test and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test. The results indicated that the experimental group achieved a higher mean post-test score (72.86) than the control group (60.48). A significant difference was found between the two groups (p = .004), demonstrating the positive effect of the English SingSing YouTube channel on students’ ability to construct simple English sentences. These findings suggest that the channel is an effective supplementary medium for elementary English instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ experiences of the Interactive Lecture Method in learning English vocabulary at SMPIT Insan Madani, Southwest Aceh. This study employed a qualitative case study design involving 11 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis framework. The findings revealed three main themes. First, students experienced clearer explanations through interaction, faster understanding through question-and-answer activities, and reported feeling happy, enthusiastic, more confident, and less bored during learning. Second, students memorized vocabulary through repeated practice and by linking new words to the teacher’s explanations. Third, the challenges of the Interactive Lecture Method included forgetting words easily, difficulties with vocabulary, speaking, verbs, tenses, and listening, as well as low self-confidence and limited attention. This study highlights that the Interactive Lecture Method provides interactive learning experiences that support vocabulary learning while also revealing the challenges students encounter during the learning process.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore students' and teachers' experiences in using the smartboard in English learning and to identify the challenges they faced during the teaching and learning process. A qualitative research design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of participants' perceptions and experiences. The participants consisted of students and English teachers at SMP Negeri 3 Manggeng. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using qualitative content analysis with the assistance of NVivo. The findings revealed that students had positive experiences using the smartboard. They reported that the smartboard increased their motivation, created a new and more enjoyable learning experience, and helped them understand English materials more easily. Teachers also expressed positive perceptions of the smartboard, stating that it improved teaching efficiency, provided greater flexibility in presenting learning materials, and effectively supported students' learning and classroom participation. Despite these benefits, both students and teachers encountered several challenges. Students identified unstable internet connectivity and power outages as the main obstacles that interrupted learning activities. Meanwhile, teachers reported limited skills in operating the smartboard, electricity disruptions, and technical problems as the primary challenges in integrating the technology into classroom instruction.
