Abstract

This study aims at (1) seeking whether or not crafting media is able to enhance students’ English vocabulary of fourth grade at SDIT Anak Sholeh Mataram and (2) elaborating on how Craftingmedia is implemented to enhance students’ English vocabulary of fourth grade at SDIT Anak Soleh Mataram. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) with test, observation, and documentation as the instruments of gaining data. Based on data findings, the mean score of pretest was 80.7 and posttest was 88.9. This significant gap in scores between pretest and posttest (8.2) implied there had been enhancement in students’ English vocabulary achievement as the students were taught by using Crafting media. Crafting media was implemented through several related phases which presented students’ direct and active selves-involvement to pump up the students’ learning motivation to recognize various objects their surroundings. Thus, it can be concluded that Crafting media is able to enhance students’ English vocabulary learning of fourth grade at SDIT Anak Sholeh Mataram.

Abstract

The difficulties to catch any intended information conveyed by speakers on the audio recording by the students still become problematic during learning listening comprehension in the classroom. This study aimed to find out the effect of applying YouTube videos on the students’ listening comprehension performance. This study was experimental research (quasi-experimental with non-equivalent control group design). The researchers used all the first-semester students of English language education as a sample through the total sampling technique. To get the data, the researchers used a listening test as the instrument. There were two groups that were tested in the study; experimental and control groups. The experimental group was treated by applying YouTube videos while the control group was treated by Audio recording. Based on the result of the study, it was found that the t-test was 1.834 and the t-table was 0.073 (t-test was higher than t-table). In the other words, the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. The result of the study also showed that the students felt more interested and motivated to learn listening comprehension by using YouTube videos as the learning media during the learning process takes place in the classroom. Thus, it could be concluded that the application of YouTube videos has given a positive and significant effect on students’ listening comprehension performance.

Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PJBL) has been widely adopted to address various instructional challenges in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. However, its specific impact on students’ creative writing performance in Indonesian secondary education remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of PJBL in enhancing secondary students’ creative writing skills, particularly in higher-order language production. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 72 eleventh-grade students who were assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received project-based writing instruction, while the control group was taught using conventional, teacher-centered methods. Data were collected through a creative writing test and analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicating that students exposed to PJBL demonstrated higher levels of creativity, idea development, and linguistic expression than those in the control group. These findings extend constructivist and sociocultural perspectives by illustrating how project-based tasks facilitate creative language use through collaboration, autonomy, and authentic learning experiences. Pedagogically, this study highlights PJBL as an effective instructional approach for fostering creative writing in EFL contexts and provides practical implications for teachers and curriculum developers seeking to promote creativity-oriented language instruction.
