Abstract

Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris tingkat sekolah dasar memiliki berbagai tantangan, terutama terkait pengucapan dan rendahnya motivasi belajar siswa. Khususnya di SD Muhammadiyah 25 Medan menunjukkan kondisi siswa kelas VI yang kurang berminat terhadap pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah kebingungan akibat perbedaan antara penulisan dan pengucapan dalam Bahasa Inggris. Siswa juga menganggap pelajaran ini kurang bermanfaat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Guru pernah menggunakan media pembelajaran seperti proyektor, namun hasilnya belum menunjukkan perubahan signifikan. Strategi dan media pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa perlu diterapkan agar proses belajar lebih efektif. Penggunaan fun games berbasis PowerPoint, pendekatan Total Physical Response (TPR), serta metode Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) menjadi alternatif yang dapat diterapkan. Ketiga pendekatan ini melibatkan aktivitas fisik dan pengulangan, sehingga membantu siswa mengingat dan memahami kosakata serta struktur kalimat secara lebih baik. Penerapan strategi tersebut berpotensi meningkatkan pemahaman, motivasi, dan partisipasi siswa.

Abstract

Mastery of grammar, particularly tenses, is a fundamental aspect of learning English. However, many students face difficulties in distinguishing and understanding the use of the Simple Present Tense and the Present Continuous Tense due to their abstract nature and the need for contextual understanding. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using interactive visual media as an instructional innovation to enhance students’ comprehension of these two tenses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study was conducted with junior high school students through the application of visual aids such as illustrative images, infographics, and short animations representing real-life contexts in sentences. The results show that the use of visual media not only increases students’ interest in the material but also helps them grasp the differences in time and context between the two tenses more concretely. Moreover, students became more actively engaged in the learning process, as the visual involvement stimulated their interest and focus. The conclusion of this study is that interactive visual media can serve as an effective solution to students' difficulties in understanding the Simple Present Tense and Present Continuous Tense, as well as create a more enjoyable and meaningful learning environment.

Abstract

Elementary school students' understanding of English tenses, especially Simple Future Tense and Future Continuous Tense, is still considered low. This is due to the limited variety of learning media applied in the classroom and the learning methods that tend to be traditional. Therefore, this study aims to improve elementary school students' understanding of the two forms of tenses by utilizing Quizizz media, an interactive and fun digital quiz learning platform. The research method applied is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is carried out in two cycles. The research subjects consisted of 30 sixth grade students at a public elementary school in 064037 Medan Tembung. Data collection methods include pre-test and post-test, observation of student learning activities, and student response questionnaires regarding media utilization. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively to observe improvements in learning outcomes and student responses. The study showed a significant increase in student understanding after using Quizizz media. The average student score increased from 62.5 in the pre-action to 74.8 in cycle I, and reached 83.2 in cycle II. In addition, the majority of students showed increased active involvement in the learning process and positive reactions to the use of Quizizz. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of Quizizz media is effective in improving elementary school students' understanding of Simple Future Tense and Future Continuous Tense, and is able to create a more interesting and meaningful learning atmosphere.
