Abstract

English is being learned and used all over the world. It has become a Lingua Franca and a language of more significant opportunities. It also exercises a great influence on the elite class of the country. Its knowledge is a successful passport for employment. Both oral and written skills are essential for learning a language. Learning a second language is never easy. Students must wrestle with new vocabulary, rules for grammar and sentence structure, idioms, pronunciation, and more. Some people seem to catch on much more quickly than others. Writing is a productive skill, and its primary concern is to give an insight into grammatical rules and composition writing. So the current paper evaluates the ways to improve students' efficiency while attempting argumentative essays in the IELTS Test conducted by the British Council of Pakistan. The researcher has studied the reasons behind these deficiencies and has paved the ways that may help English language teachers and students as they work with developing language skills for academic and social success. The sample of the study was taken from a local academy of Bahawalpur. The data was collected by using a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The participants included ten teachers and 100 students of IELTS. The findings of the study proved the hypothesis correct. The conclusion with suggestions and recommendations was summed up at the end of the study.

Abstract

Poetry writing is a fundamental component of language learning that fosters creativity, expressive ability, and cultural appreciation, yet many students encounter difficulties in developing ideas, selecting appropriate diction, and structuring their poems coherently. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the acrostic technique in improving poetry writing skills among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 11 Bengkulu Tengah. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved 27 students selected purposively, with data collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of student poetry. Data were analyzed through reduction, classification, and interpretation, with triangulation, peer debriefing, and member checking ensuring credibility. The results indicated significant improvement in students’ creativity, diction, and structural organization after the application of the acrostic technique, as reflected in richer vocabulary use, clearer thematic expression, and more coherent poetic forms. The discussion highlights that the acrostic method provides a structured yet flexible framework that stimulates student engagement and encourages originality, aligning well with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. The implication of this study is that the acrostic technique can serve as an innovative and practical pedagogical strategy to enhance poetry writing skills in secondary education, while also contributing to curriculum innovation and the promotion of literary creativity in language learning.
