Abstract

Writing is a challenging skill that students must master. Students must understand aspects of writing, including content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics, in order to compose well. The objective of this study was to investigate the difficulties students had in writing recount texts in grade VIII MTs Pidua. This study was a descriptive qualitative study. The samples were the eighth-grade students of MTs Pidua consisting of 14 students. To collect the data, a written test in the form of an essay and a questionnaire consisting of eight questions related to grammatical, knowledge and understanding, practice, and educational background were employed. Two raters scored the students’ writing products using an analytic scoring rubric. To validate the data, the triangulation method was applied. To analyze the data, Miles and Heberman’s three steps were used: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings revealed that the number of learners made it challenging to write a recount text. These difficulties were linked to writings aspects such as content (35.71%), vocabulary (35.71%), grammar (21.43%), and organization (21.43%). The students, on the other hand, were well-versed in mechanics. They understood the importance of punctuation, spelling, and capitalization when writing a recount text. However, the students had difficulty in writing a recount text because they had limited knowledge of grammar, lacked knowledge and an understanding of the recount text, and were less practiced at writing. Although they had a good educational background, they still struggled to write a recount text due to the previous reasons mentioned.

Abstract

In the world of language development and academic achievement, the relationship between vocabulary mastery and writing power is critical. Recognizing the tremendous impact of students' lexical command on their ability to compose descriptive texts is critical for educators seeking to improve language teaching. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship between students' English vocabulary mastery and their ability to write descriptive texts at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. This inquiry provides useful insights into the underlying aspects that support excellent English writing. Utilizing a purposive sampling strategy, three classes comprising 72 students were chosen as the sample group. Data collecting included delivering multiple-choice vocabulary exams as well as essay-based writing tests. The Pearson Product Moment correlation approach was utilized to conduct further study. The findings show a substantial relationship between students' English vocabulary ability and their ability for descriptive writing at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. The estimated correlation coefficient (r) of 0.26 was more than the crucial value (r-table) of 0.23 at a significance level (p) of less than 0.05, indicating a weak correlation. This emphasizes the importance of vocabulary in generating descriptive texts, as well as its significance in language proficiency. As a result, vocabulary mastery emerges as a critical determinant in students' ability to successfully explain descriptive narratives, emphasizing its intrinsic value in the writing process.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into higher education has significantly transformed academic writing instruction, especially within English as an EFL learning environment. This study employed an Explanatory sequential mixed-methods design to investigate EFL students’ perceptions of AI-assisted academic writing and identify the perceived benefits and challenges of its implementation. The participants consisted of 28 EFL students from three Indonesian universities having experience using AI tools in academic writing courses. Quantitative data were collected via closed-ended questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured in-depth interviews to explain the quantitative findings. The quantitative results revealed that students demonstrated highly positive perceptions toward the use of AI in academic writing classes, with an overall mean score of 4.32, categorized as excellent. Students perceived AI as a supportive technology for generating ideas, organizing written text, improving grammatical accuracy, and completing writing tasks more efficiently. The qualitative findings revealed four dominant themes: AI as a writing assistant, improvement of writing efficiency and quality, AI as a means of independent learning, and ethical awareness and academic responsibility. Participants reported that AI supported independent learning, provided immediate feedback, and increased confidence and creativity in writing activities. Nevertheless, students also raised concerns about becoming too dependent on AI and the potential ethical problems related to academic honesty and maintaining originality in their work. The results claim that AI has strong potential to enhance EFL academic writing instruction when integrated pedagogically and used responsibly. It also provides practical implications for EFL lecturers in designing ethical and effective AI-assisted writing instruction in higher education contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the REAP (Read, Encode, Annotate, Ponder) strategy on students’ reading comprehension across different reading habits. The research was conducted with 10 second-semester students from the English Language Education program at FKIP UNISKI Kayuagung. This study applied a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design. A reading habits questionnaire and a reading comprehension test were employed to collect the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. Results indicated significant improvements in reading comprehension following the implementation of the REAP strategy, with high and low reading habits groups showing substantial gains. The REAP guided students to listen and read in the reading phase, and then encoding helped them to rephrase their ideas. After that, they could highlight the key points in annotation. Finally, they did group discussions. This process boosts comprehension for all students, regardless of reading habits. Additionally, student perceptions of the REAP strategy varied, with those possessing strong reading habits responding more positively. These findings suggest that the REAP strategy is an effective tool for enhancing reading comprehension across reading habits, fostering skill refinement in proficient readers and marked improvement in less proficient ones.
