Abstract

This study aimed to determine the types of errors found in writing recount texts at SMA Negeri 3 Pangkep and to identify the most frequently occurring errors when students write recount texts at SMA Negeri 3 Pangkep. The researchers used a mixed-method approach, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative methods. The population in this study comprised class XI students, which consisted of six classes: XI IPA 1 (32 students), XI IPA 2 (31 students), XI IPA 3 (32 students), XI IPA 4 (30 students), XI IPS 1 (35 students), and XI IPS 2 (32 students). The total number of students was 192. Sampling was done using a purposive sampling technique, and the sample in this study was students from class XI IPA 1, consisting of 32 students. The results of this study, referring to the classification by Betty S. Azar, showed that the total number of errors was 370. The two most frequent types of errors were verb tense errors, with 73 errors (16% of the total), followed by word choice errors, with 38 errors (13.9% of the total).

Abstract

Taglines are widely used in environmental media campaigns and appear in various formats such as posters, flyers, and tote bags. Despite their prevalence in Indonesia, public awareness of environmental protection remains limited. This study investigates the use of English in environmental campaign taglines, focusing on how these taglines are perceived by the public and their effectiveness in influencing environmentally conscious behavior. Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 participants across three public locations. Thematic analysis revealed that participants’ perceptions of English-language environmental taglines are shaped by emotional connection, cultural relevance, and language accessibility. English is often appreciated for its clarity, simplicity, and global resonance, but local languages are perceived to offer stronger emotional and cultural connections. Most participants found that English taglines increased awareness, and in some cases motivated behavioral changes, such as reducing plastic use. However, linguistic barriers and cultural disconnect were also noted, particularly among individuals less familiar with English. These findings suggest that while English taglines can effectively promote environmental awareness, their success depends on balancing global appeal with cultural and linguistic sensitivity to local audiences.

Abstract

The ability to communicate in English is very important in the era of globalization. However, many students face difficulties communicating in the language due to a lack of confidence. Self-confidence greatly affects students' speaking abilities. Studies show that confident students are more active and speak more often. Students lack confidence because traditional education methods are too theory-centered. Project-Based Learning (PBL) enhances students' confidence, critical thinking, and speaking skills by involving them in group projects.This research was conducted on 19 students at MA Bustanul Ulum. Through observation and interviews, it was found that PBL increases students' confidence in speaking English. Although there are challenges, such as shyness and group conflicts, these can be overcome with the help of the teacher. This research proves that PBL is effective in improving students' speaking skills.

Abstract

Using TPR method in teaching basic vocabulary is a good way for the beginner level of proficiency. The aim of the study is to elaborate how well the Total Physical Response (TPR) method improves the vocabulary of students with different learning styles. The respondents of this study were 30 students of SMP 23 Makassar. The research design was one experiment group with pre and post test. Data were collected with questionnaire from Barsch Learning Style Inventory, vocabulary test, interviews, and classroom observation. Learning Style Inventory (LSI) showed that the most students were visual (40%) and auditory (40%) while 10 % of students were kinesthetic. Some students have combination of learning styles such as visual-auditory (6.67 %) and visual-kinesthetic (3.33 %), while 75 % of visual learners have significant vocabulary development with TPR method. Only 66.67 % auditory learners have significant vocabulary development after giving materials with TPR method. TPR method worked effectively for kinesthetic learning style since 100 % of kinesthetic learners have significant vocabulary development with TPR method. TPR method is also appropriate for visual auditory learners because 100 % of them develop significant vocabularies with the method. Only one visual-kinesthetic learner cannot adapt materials with TPR method, which is indicated by insignificant development with TPR method.

However, only 50 percent of 100 percent kinesthetic learners experience an increase after the provision of teaching materials using the TPR method. There are many factors that can influence the result of the student’s test.

Abstract

Glossophobia, or the fear of public speaking, is a widespread form of social anxiety that can significantly hinder students’ oral performance. This study investigates the relationship between glossophobia and students’ learning styles in the context of classroom speech activities. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data gathered through the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS) and the Barsch Learning Style Inventory with qualitative insights obtained from classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. A total of 41 senior high school students participated in the initial survey, from which 13 individuals identified with moderate to high anxiety levels were purposively selected for in-depth analysis. The findings reveal that visual learners exhibit higher levels of speech-related anxiety compared to other learning style types. These results suggest a potential correlation between learning style preferences and students’ susceptibility to glossophobia. The study emphasizes the pedagogical importance of tailoring instructional strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles as a means of mitigating public speaking anxiety in educational settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the strategies of English teachers at MTsN 1 Maros in accommodating the learning needs of introvert and extrovert students, focusing on Hamruni's (2009) theory. This research uses a qualitative approach with five English teachers from MTsN 1 Maros as participants. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that teachers applied direct, indirect, interactive, and independent strategies for introverts, while direct and interactive strategies suited extroverts, and for both personalities they integrated interactive, indirect, experimental, and independent strategies. These findings highlight that adaptive teaching can help increase learning engagement among students with different personalities, while reinforcing Hamruni's theory through practical application in diverse classrooms.

Abstract

One of the important factors that influences the success of learning is the teacher's understanding of students' learning styles. This community service activity aimed to enhance teachers’ understanding and skills in identifying students’ learning styles through the use of the digital application “VAK-ZA Learning Style Identification”. The program was conducted on August 7–8, 2025, at SMP Negeri 28 Satap Salenrang, Maros Regency, involving 18 training participants consisting of teachers and staff, as well as 179 students who installed the “VAK-ZA Learning Style Identification” application. The application was developed in two formats, namely web and APK versions, which can be used both online and offline, making it flexible for various school infrastructure conditions. The implementation of the program included the socialization of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK) learning style concepts, training in using the application, mentoring for student identification practices, and follow-up discussions on integrating the results into differentiated instruction. The results showed an improvement in teachers’ knowledge of learning style concepts as well as their skills in operating the application. Based on questionnaires, 100% of participants considered the application easy to use, useful, and relevant to learning needs. The application has proven effective in accelerating the identification process of learning styles and providing applicable teaching strategy recommendations. These findings affirm that collaboration between universities and schools can produce technology-based learning innovations that have the potential to be replicated in other schools.
