Abstract

This study aims to examine the improvement of students’ speaking achievement and their perceptions toward the implementation of integrated Think–Pair–Share (TPS) and Three-Step Interview (TSI). The research employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 ninth-grade students at SMPN 4 Metro. Instruments included a speaking test (pretest and posttest) and a perception questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test and descriptive analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking scores from a pretest mean of 84.80 to a posttest mean of 89.40 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, students’ perceptions toward the TPS–TSI were positive with overall mean = 3.86, with the Target and Situation dimensions receiving the highest means, 3.94. These findings suggest that the integration of TPS–TSI not only enhances speaking skills but also fosters a supportive learning environment aligned with students’ future goals.

Abstract

Abstract. This study investigates the effect of semantic mapping on improving vocabulary achievement among tenth-grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at MAN 2 Bandar Lampung. A total of 30 students from class X-C participated in the study. Two treatment sessions were conducted in which student’s categorized content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) in procedure texts using semantic maps. The results of a paired-sample t-test revealed a significant overall improvement in vocabulary achievement, with the mean score increasing from 42.84 in the pre-test to 63.34 in the post-test (p < 0.05). To compare the improvements across the four vocabulary aspects, a Two-Way ANOVA was conducted. The analysis showed significant differences in performance between the pre-test and post-test for each aspect, with nouns showing the highest gain (31%), followed by adverbs (25%), adjectives (22%), and verbs (21%). The interaction effect between the test (pre-test and post-test) and aspect (noun, verb, adjective, and adverb) was also significant, indicating that the improvement varied across the different aspects of vocabulary. These findings support the effectiveness of semantic mapping as a valuable tool for enhancing vocabulary achievement in EFL learners.

Abstract

Guru Bahasa Inggris yunior Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) di Kota Bandarlampung perlu terus meningkatkan kompetensinya dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris agar siswanya mampu berbahasa Inggris. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM) ini yaitu untuk meningkatkan kemampuan guru-guru Bahasa Inggris Kota Bandarlampung agar dapat melaksanakan tugas utamanya sebagai guru secara optimal, terutama meningkatkan kemampuannya dalam membuat speaking tasks sebagai materi pembelajaran speaking dan juga sebagai alat untuk mengukur kemampuan berbicara Bahasa Inggris siswanya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut dilakukan workshop selama 2 hari tatap muka langsung (pemaparan materi, pemberian contoh, dan simulasi), dan pemberian tugas melalui flipped class selama 5 hari kerja. Sasaran kegiatan PKM ini yaitu 20 guru Bahasa Inggris yang relatif yunior Kota Bandarlampung. Hasil kegiatan PKM ini menunjukkan bahwa pada awal kegiatan pengetahuan guru-guru peserta PKM ini tentang speaking tasks dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris bervariasi dan lebih dari 50% peserta pengetahuannya masih di bawah 60%; secara rata-rata masih tergolong rendah. Pada akhir kegiatan Pengetahuan peserta meningkat dengan skor rata-rata yang tergolong tinggi dan hanya satu yang masih tergolong sedang.
