Abstract

One of the main aspects in language acquisition is vocabulary. A good vocabulary allows students to understand, communicate and express themselves better. Therefore, the researcher aims to discover students' experiences while using the VSS strategy with the help of interactive film media. Researchers used a qualitative research approach with a classroom action research design. Research participants were junior high school students at one of the Karawang schools. Research data was obtained from observations and interviews with research participants. The research results show that the emphasis on affective and behavioral aspects of students learning English with the VSS strategy tends to be more dominant. Most research participants felt happy and motivated in learning. This triggers students to behave positively in class by paying attention to the teacher and actively discussing in class or groups. This research concludes that students' affective aspects can trigger student behavior in the classroom. Therefore, teachers need to have the ability to master engaging, active and interactive teaching, so that this can help students to achieve learning goals. The results of this research can provide objective evidence of students' experiences using the VSS strategy by utilizing film media in language learning.

Abstract

In the learning process at the junior high school level, English pronunciation remains an under-appreciated component, particularly in Indonesia. However, good pronunciation is crucial for effective communication. This study aims to investigate how seventh-grade students with low pronunciation skills perceive the use of the ELSA Speak app in MALL. This research employed a qualitative approach, specifically designed as a case study. Data were collected from five seventh-grade students at a junior high school in Karawang through participant observation, direct use of the ELSA Speak app, and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that the use of ELSA Speak provides significant benefits in helping pronunciation skills, building student confidence, and increasing motivation for independent learning. However, several technical challenges and limitations in vocabulary comprehension were also identified. These findings demonstrate the great potential of ELSA Speak as an innovative and effective pronunciation learning medium at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates how an Indonesian junior-secondary EFL teacher coordinated three complementary practices brief fluency work (listen-and-repeat/echo reading), explicit Question–Answer Relationships (QAR), and responsive scaffolding to improve students’ reading comprehension during routine lessons. Motivated by persistent national concerns about low reading performance and classroom reports of word-by-word translation, limited vocabulary, and uneven decoding, the study documents how supports were sequenced across pre-, during-, and post-reading phases and adapted in real time. Data comprised classroom observations, teacher interview, and instructional artifacts, analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model (data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing/verification). Findings indicate that short, well-modeled echo-reading segments functioned as fluency “bridges,” freeing working-memory resources for meaning-focused tasks; QAR provided a simple classroom metalanguage that redirected attention from keyword matching toward evidence-based inference (Right There, Think and Search, Author and Me); and contingent scaffolds (sentence frames, think-alouds, prompts to cite lines) were introduced “just in time” and deliberately faded as control emerged. Students increasingly justified answers with textual citations and combined ideas across sentences, signaling movement from literal retrieval to local integration. Practical design principles include planning for dual bottlenecks (lexis and processing) via paired fluency-plus-vocabulary warm-ups, making QAR the spine of during-reading talk, using micro-diagnostics to localize breakdowns, and aligning assessment with literal, integrative, and inferential demands. Limitations relate to the single-case context and absence of standardized pre–post measures; future work should test the approach across genres and cohorts with validated outcomes. Overall, the study offers a feasible, theory-aligned orchestration of strategies for strengthening EFL reading comprehension in resource-constrained secondary classrooms.
