Abstract

This study aims to identify various types of word-formation processes and their frequencies in English-language articles published in the Gontor magazine, and to explore their relevance to the teaching of writing skills in the context of English Language Teaching (ELT). The background of this study was the urgency of understanding word formation to enrich vocabulary mastery and morphological awareness among learners, particularly in Islamic educational settings. Such understanding significantly contributed to the development of writing skills through precise word choice, lexical diversity, and the composition of more accurate, formal, and coherent texts. The research adopted qualitative approach, particularly content analysis. Primary data consisting of word-formation processes were obtained from ten English articles in Gontor magazine. The data were then analyzed through stages of identification, classification, and description by applying Krippendorff’s content analysis theory and Yule’s classification of word formation. Frequency calculations were also employed to determine the most requently occuring processes. The findings identified five types of word formation processes with a total of 269 occurrences: derivation (69, 5%), borrowing (16, 3%), compounding (13, 01%), initialism (0, 7%), and multiple processes (0, 3%). Among these, derivation appeared as the most dominant type. The results indicated that understanding word formation contributes to vocabulary development and enhances writing quality through more organized and varied linguistic patterns. In addition, the dominance of formal linguistic forms and the absence of processes, such as coinage and blending, suggest that articles in Gontor magazine consistently employ an academic writing style. Therefore, the magaize can serve as a relevant teaching source for writing instruction in ELT, particularly within the context of Islamic education.

Abstract

Authentic evaluation is an assessment approach that emphasizes high-level thinking skills and students' ability to complete meaningful tasks that reflect real-world situations. In the context of reading learning in English, it is an important alternative to overcome the limitations of traditional evaluations that tend to only measure literal understanding. This study aims to describe the application of authentic evaluation in reading learning and identify the forms, strategies, and challenges of its implementation in a secondary school environment. This study applied a descriptive qualitative approach with English teachers and students as research subjects in a junior high school. Data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation of the assessment instruments used. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model including the stages of data reduction, data presentation (data display), and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of the study showed that teachers implemented authentic evaluation in various forms, such as text summaries, reading journals, written critical responses, and reading-based presentations. This was able to improve contextually students' reading comprehension in depth. However, several obstacles were found, such as time constraints and the need for objective assessment instruments. Strategies such as the use of rubrics and gradual training for students have proven effective in overcoming these obstacles. This study emphasizes the importance of authentic evaluation as a more meaningful assessment approach in learning reading.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the types and factors of students’ errors in pronouncing interdental and alveolar fricative sounds. The methodology of this research used descriptive qualitative with percentages. Interview guidance included a pronunciation test, questionnaire, and documentation utilized in this research as instruments. 7 out of 37 respondents were selected by purposive random sampling for the interview. Data analysis used three stages such as error identification, classification error, and explanation error. Then, to validate data used data triangulation. The result of this study revealed that students had deviation in all types of errors. Namely, the misformation of 1525 scores, the addition of 113 scores, the omission of 80 scores, and the misordering of 26 scores. All respondents obtained a moderate classification of pronunciation errors and the sound /θ/ of 79%, the sound /ð/ of 81%, and the sound /z/ of 84% included a high error percentage classification. Lastly, Students’ pronunciation errors are influenced by 3 categories of error sources, namely interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer, and context of learning.

Abstract

The mastery of speaking micro-skills, particularly grammatical accuracy, is essential for students in Islamic boarding schools to achieve effective communication. However, traditional approaches often lack interactive learning support. This study evaluates the effectiveness of poster media in improving students’ speaking proficiency through the Monday Talk Program at ITTC Darussalam Gontor. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was implemented, with participants selected through purposive sampling based on similar proficiency levels and the availability of intact classes. The experimental group received poster-based instruction, while the control group used mind mapping. Pre-test and post-test scores were collected to measure learning gains. The results show a significant improvement (p = 0.000) in the experimental group, indicating that poster media effectively enhance grammatical accuracy in speaking. These findings suggest that integrating visual media into structured speaking programs supports more engaging and effective learning. In conclusion, poster media represent a valuable instructional tool for strengthening students’ grammatical proficiency in Islamic boarding school contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning needs of students majoring in Occupational, Health, and Safety (OHS) in order to design relevant teaching materials. This study employed a survey design involving 30 OHS students and an ESP instructor at Darussalam Gontor University. Data was collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. The findings indicate that students strongly prefer communication-oriented learning, particularly speaking skills for workplace interactions, and emphasize the importance of mastering vocabulary related to OHS. However, current ESP teaching materials are considered inadequate due to their limited relevance to the specific OHS context. Students also expressed a need for contextualized teaching materials that incorporate real-life tasks, international safety standards, and performance-based assessments. In summary, this study highlights the need to develop context-specific, task-based ESP teaching materials aligned with the demands of professional communication in the OHS field. These findings provide an empirical foundation for designing an English for Occupational Health and Safety (EOHS) textbook that better supports students’ readiness to communicate in global workplaces.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Make a Match technique in improving EFL students’ mastery of simple present and simple past tense sentence structures. It employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group to test the impact of the technique on EFL students’ grammar performance. The participants consisted of 64 fourth-grade students at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor for Girls Campus 3, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests instruments which had been validated and demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.897). Nonparametric statistical techniques, such as the Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, were eventually used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group improved far more than those in the control group. The effect size (r = 0.41) showed that the Make a Match method had a moderate to substantial impact on students' grammar competency. This study confirmed that the Make a Match method was practical relevance for EFL classrooms by greatly improving EFL students' grammatical accuracy and engagement of the simple present and simple past tenses. This work offers to the literature and has practical implications for teaching grammar in Islamic educational contexts through cooperative learning methodologies.
