Abstract

This study investigates the learning strategies used by second-semester students in the English Education Study Program during reading and writing activities in the Intermediate Reading and Writing course. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, the study involved 117 students selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire covering metacognitive, cognitive, and socioaffective strategies based on O’Malley and Chamot’s (1990) classification. The findings reveal that all three strategy categories were used at a high level, with socioaffective strategies being the most dominant, followed by metacognitive and cognitive strategies. Students showed strong help-seeking behavior and active monitoring of comprehension, yet demonstrated weaknesses in planning, peer feedback, and applying new grammar structures in their writing. These results suggest that students rely more on social support and vocabulary-based strategies rather than planning and grammar-oriented approaches, indicating the need for instructional practices that promote more balanced and autonomous learning.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of ice-breaking activities implemented by English teachers in the teaching process at SMAN 10 Pekanbaru. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, and data were collected through a questionnaire. The results indicate that students generally held positive perceptions of ice-breaking activities, particularly regarding their role in creating a supportive and engaging classroom atmosphere. These activities were also perceived as effective in reducing anxiety, fostering comfort, and encouraging active participation and interaction among students. However, their influence on focus, concentration, and comprehension of lesson material was considered moderate, suggesting that ice-breaking activities serve primarily as motivational and social supports rather than direct tools for enhancing academic understanding. Overall, ice-breaking activities are regarded as beneficial supplementary strategies that can promote a positive classroom atmosphere, enhance students’ emotional readiness, and support increased engagement in English learning.
