Abstract

The introduction of English to young learners has been implemented for a long time with various strategies and approaches. However, not all of strategies the teacher used were successful in being applied in the classroom. Based on pre-observation, the students’ reading interest is low due to difficulty understanding the text. They have difficulty understanding sentences, and students can only find the meaning of the sentence or only understand the text content's outline. The present study aims to determine whether reading phonics strategy can improve students reading skill in second-grade of SMP Negeri 2 Sumarorong. The study used a pre-experimental method in one class given a pre-test and a final test. The population is the second-grade students and this study used a total sampling technique. The result of the data shows that the mean value in the final test is greater than the mean value of the initial test (79.52>60.800), and the t-test value is greater than the t-table value (12.046>2.046) at the level of increase of 0.05, with degrees of freedom (df) 24. This increase can also be seen from the post-test result, which is greater than the pre-test score. This evidence highlighted phonics reading strategy can improve students reading skill.

Abstract

The mastery of vocabulary is important and it is a fundamental requirement that influences students’ achievement in studying English. However, during the pre-observation, most of students still have a problem with vocabulary mastery. They are difficult to join the lesson well in the classroom, although the teacher explains the material clearly, this seems because they lack of vocabulary. This article aimed to find out whether the selected game i.e., “Colour Me Colours” can improve the students’ vocabulary mastery at the Second-grade of SMP YP PGRI 4 Makassar. This pre-experimental involves one pre-test and post-test group with four meetings of treatment between it. The data was collected through vocabulary tests to find out students’ scores. Derived from the data analyzed, “Colour Me Colours” game can improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. The students’ scores had a significant different score in pre-test and post-test. The result of the pre-test (49) was low than post-test (90,66). This result highlighted significant findings that most students were more active and interested in learning vocabulary by using “Colour Me Colours” game.

Abstract

Based on the 2013 curriculum, students are expected to master common vocabulary in academic text. However, in reality, the above goal has not been achieved. It can be proven by the fact that students still have a common vocabulary and using incorrect words. During the pre-observation, students often experience learning obstacles while learning English. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of Chalk Down, Turn Around Game for improving students’ vocabulary mastery at grade VIII SMP Negeri 1 Bambang. This study used a pre-experimental method in the form of one class given a pre-test and post-test. The number of students involved 20 students and selected using the total sampling technique. The results of the data showed that the mean score on the post-test is higher than the pre-test (85> 60.25), and the t-test value is higher than the t-table score (11,049> 2,092) at the level of increase of 0.05 with degree freedom (df) 19. It means that the use of the Chalk Down, Turn Around Game can improve students' vocabulary.
