Abstract

This study is an attempt to discover the effect of applying Group Investigation Method on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The Population of this research was the tenth (X) grade students of SMAN 11 Medan which consists of nine parallel classes with the total number of students is 286. The samples of this research were taken by random sampling through lottery technique. The result was class X IPA 1 consisted of 33 students became the experimental group and class X IPA 3 consisted of 31 students became the control group. The experimental group was taught by using Group Investigation Method while the control group was taught by using Conventional Method. The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result shows that the value of t­-observed (3.733) is higher than the value of t-table (2.000) (α = 0.05) with the degree of freedom (df) = 62. It means that there is a significant effect of applying Group investigation Method on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

Abstract

In higher education, cultivating effective speaking skills is crucial for preparing students to succeed in today's dynamic and interconnected world. Traditional teaching methods often fall short of engaging students and promoting active learning. This research explores the potential of interactive video as an innovative teaching medium to enhance speaking skills while incorporating the 4Cs - Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity - into the learning process. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre-and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. Furthermore, incorporating the 4Cs into interactive video design demonstrated transformative effects on students' speaking skills. Integrating collaborative activities fostered teamwork and communication among students, while critical thinking was stimulated through decision-making scenarios embedded within the videos. Additionally, the creative aspect of the interactive videos encouraged students to express their ideas and opinions more freely, ultimately boosting their confidence in public speaking. The findings of this research contribute to the growing body of knowledge on innovative teaching practices and the role of technology in higher education.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) English training program for medical staff at RS Haji Medan, a government-owned hospital in North Sumatra, Indonesia, aiming for Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. Despite having strong infrastructure, the hospital faces challenges in English communication among staff, which is critical for serving international patients. The training program involved 15 doctors, nurses, and administrative staff, focusing on practical communication in clinical settings through simulations, problem-solving, and medical dialogues. At the end of the program, a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to obtain students’ views on the task-based instruction. The survey data revealed positive responses regarding material relevance, teaching methods, instructor performance, and the usefulness of learning resources. Most participants reported improved English skills and greater confidence in medical communication. The findings highlight TBLT's effectiveness in meeting specific workplace needs and support its broader use in healthcare language training. This study contributes to the growing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) field in Indonesian medical contexts.
