Abstract

This study aims to improve the reading comprehension skills of Class 8C students at SMPN 01 Mempawah Hilir. This Classroom Action Research was conducted in two cycles. The research data were obtained by observation and measurement techniques by using field notes, observation checklists, and tests. The data collected from field notes and the observation checklist were analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The tests were analyzed by comparing the individual scores of the students from the first cycle to the scores in the second cycle to see the improvement in individual learning. Besides, the mean score and the percentage of classical learning completeness were also calculated to show students’ overall improvement. Classically, the mean scores of the test results in the first cycle increased from 83.12 to 91.48 in the second cycle. Meanwhile, the percentage of classical learning completeness increased from 68% in the first cycle to 96% in the second cycle. In addition, based on the observation, the students learned more actively and enthusiastically in the class. It can be concluded that the Small Group Discussion teaching method has improved the Class 8C students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

This research was conducted to find out whether English Language Exposure Media influence students’ speaking ability or not. This research also concentrated on utilizing different types of English language exposure media within the curriculum, including music videos, podcasts, and songs. All of the media were presented in English language to give them the exposure of the language. A pre-experimental design was utilized, incorporating a pre-test, post-test, and two treatment phases. Data were gathered using a measurement technique that involved a speaking test. The research findings revealed that the pre-test score averaged 54.60, while the post-test score averaged 78.33. The mean score difference between the pre-test and post-test was 25.73, indicating an improvement in students' speaking abilities following the treatments. The effect size (ES) was calculated to be 2.38, which is classified as a strong effect (ES > 1.00). The research demonstrated a substantial improvement in students' speaking ability, with a mean score increase from 54.60 to 78.33, indicating the effectiveness of English language exposure media. Future research could explore the long-term impact of English language exposure media on students' speaking skills. Additionally, examining the effectiveness of different types of media and their influence on various language skills would provide a more comprehensive understanding.
