Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the 3I’s method (Instruct, Integrate, and Involve) in enhancing students’ ability to write recount texts at SMK Negeri 2 Parepare. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving both experimental and control groups that completed pre-tests and post-tests. The participants were eleventh-grade students, and the sample was selected through cluster random sampling. Class XI DKV C served as the experimental group, while Class XI TITL B functioned as the control group, with 21 students in each class. Data were collected using a recount writing test evaluated according to five writing components: content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics, based on Heaton’s scoring rubric. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean post-test score (86.05) than the control group (81.52). In addition, the statistical analysis produced a significance value of 0.029, which was lower than the 0.05 threshold, indicating a significant difference between the groups. These results suggest that the 3I’s method effectively improves students’ recount writing performance, particularly in generating ideas, applying grammar accurately, and producing well-organized texts. Therefore, the 3I’s method can be recommended as an effective instructional approach for teaching writing in vocational high school settings.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of translanguaging practices by English teachers in vocational high school classrooms and to explore the perceived benefits and challenges of this pedagogical strategy. Utilizing a field-based qualitative descriptive approach, the research was conducted at SMKN 3 Parepare, involving one English teacher and eight students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of lesson plans and teaching modules, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interaction model. The findings reveal that translanguaging is primarily implemented as a spontaneous, rather than planned, instructional response. It serves crucial functions in classroom management, cognitive scaffolding—particularly in grammar instruction by comparing local languages (Buginese and Indonesian) with English—and facilitating student interaction. The perceived benefits include bridged comprehension, reduced speaking anxiety, and increased student confidence. However, a significant challenge emerged regarding students' limited basic vocabulary, leading to a high risk of dependency on their native languages. These findings imply that educators should adopt a flexible, linguistically inclusive approach rather than strict English-only policies, validating students' multilingual resources as cognitive bridges. Nevertheless, teachers must manage translanguaging systematically to prevent over-reliance on the first language and gradually guide students toward English independence
