Abstract

This research entitled “Determining Students’ Speaking Skill Based on Guessing Game at the Eighth Grade of SMP Negeri 2 Lolofitu Moi” aims to determine students’ speaking skill levels and the factors influencing them through the use of a guessing game. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collected from observation and interviews with students and an English teacher. The results showed that most students were at the basic speaking level, able to produce simple sentences but still made errors in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The guessing game made learning more interactive and enjoyable, increased students’ confidence, and encouraged active participation. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary and fear of mistakes remained. It can be concluded that guessing games effectively improved students’ motivation and speaking confidence, although further practice is needed to enhance fluency and accuracy.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the English speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Lahewa through the implementation of a blended learning model. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research involved 22 students, with data collected through observation, interviews, and oral tests. The findings indicate that students' speaking skills generally range from a fair to a good level. Quantitative analysis of the oral test results reveals average scores of 2.8 for pronunciation, 2.5 for grammar, 2.4 for vocabulary, 2.3 for fluency, and 3.0 for comprehension. While most students demonstrated a decent understanding of spoken English, significant challenges persist in vocabulary retention, grammatical accuracy, and fluency. Students perceive blended learning as engaging and flexible; however, they express a preference for face-to-face interaction due to the opportunity for direct speaking practice. The study concludes that although the blended learning model shows promise, it requires further optimization, particularly in designing interactive online components, to effectively enhance students' productive language skills.   ABSTRAK Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa kelas delapan di SMP Negeri 4 Lahewa melalui implementasi model pembelajaran campuran (blended learning). Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan 22 siswa, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan tes lisan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berbicara siswa secara umum berkisar dari tingkat cukup baik hingga baik. Analisis kuantitatif hasil tes lisan menunjukkan skor rata-rata 2,8 untuk pengucapan, 2,5 untuk tata bahasa, 2,4 untuk kosakata, 2,3 untuk kelancaran, dan 3,0 untuk pemahaman. Meskipun sebagian besar siswa menunjukkan pemahaman yang baik tentang bahasa Inggris lisan, tantangan signifikan masih ada dalam retensi kosakata, ketepatan tata bahasa, dan kelancaran. Siswa menganggap pembelajaran campuran menarik dan fleksibel; namun, mereka lebih menyukai interaksi tatap muka karena adanya kesempatan untuk praktik berbicara langsung. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun model pembelajaran campuran menjanjikan, model ini membutuhkan optimasi lebih lanjut, khususnya dalam merancang komponen daring interaktif, untuk secara efektif meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa produktif siswa.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of self-directed learning (SDL) strategies on students' reading comprehension at PEMBDA 2 Gunungsitoli Private Junior High School. The background of this study shows that students experience difficulties in understanding reading texts, which has a negative impact on their academic development. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design involving two groups: an experimental group using the SDL strategy and a control group using conventional methods. The results showed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. The average pretest score of the experimental group was 43.47 and increased to 89.47 on the posttest, while the control group only increased from 36.27 to 48.13. The t-test showed a significance value (p 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the SDL strategy in improving reading comprehension. In addition, the N-Gain value for the experimental group was 0.814 (high category), while the control group was only 0.185 (low category). The conclusion of this study is that the application of the SDL strategy significantly improves students' reading comprehension skills, creating a more independent, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experience. This study recommends the use of the SDL strategy in English teaching at the junior high school level as an effective method for improving student learning outcomes.
