Abstract

This study aimed to know the use of the show-and-tell method in teaching vocabulary the second-year students Of Junior High School SMPS Darul Ulum Panaikang Bantaeng. It consisted of 38 students, 19 students in class controlled and 19 in the experimental class. This research was Quasi-Experimental Design; with experimental and controlled classes. One group was treated as the experimental class and another group was treated as the controlled class. The researchers used pre-test and post-test designs in both experimental and controlled classes. Analysis of the mean score gap in the post-test between the experimental and controlled ensures that the technique used was effective. The mean score of the Experimental class was 9.02 and 5.63 for the Controlled class. It meant the gap between the students’ scores in the Experimental and Controlled class was 3.39. The explanation of the gap between the two classes indicated that the Experimental class showed high improvement than the Controlled class.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the student’s readiness to learn English at the tertiary level through vocabulary tests. This research was carried out due to the low English skills at the tertiary level for English-specific purposes in accounting. Students find it difficult to use general English, which is possibly because of a lack of vocabulary. Furthermore, the researchers attempted to investigate this assumption further by using an online vocabulary test through the Oxford online vocabulary test with quantitative data analysis techniques. There were 233 tertiary students from 8 different classes who participated in this research, taking English for Accounting and English for Business as one of the courses in the first semester at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The tools for collecting data were the Oxford online vocabulary test, survey questionnaires, and observation. Quantitative data were used to collect data through questionnaires. The findings showed that the majority of respondents (38%) at the tertiary level were at A1 or the elementary English vocabulary level, which is inadequate to learn English for ESP at the university level. This research also found that the majority of respondents (50%) have learned English since elementary school which contradicts the vocabulary level test result. It can be concluded that students’ English vocabulary levels are insufficient for academic demands at the university level, particularly in preparing for ESP courses. Moreover, students’ vocabulary development shows inconsistent with the extended period of English learning since elementary with the increase of English vocabulary proficiency. However, integrating learning methods such as social media, online apps, website, games, movies, songs, and novels can be an effective approach for enhancing English learning in the classroom.

Abstract

This research aims to develop differentiated instruction through a socio-cultural module for Junior high school teachers. This research used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The analysis was carried out by analysing teachers’ and students’ problems, implementing differentiated instruction, and teachers' and students’ needs. Then, the module will be designed and developed by validating and revising the product through three education experts as validators. Next, implementation and evaluation were conducted in 2 junior high schools with a sample of 185 students, 1 school supervisor, 2 headmasters, and 10 teachers. After being validated by three education experts, this module was revised, then implemented in 2 junior high schools in Soppeng, Indonesia. The result of this study showed positive feedback from validators which reached 98.4 % satisfaction. However, some feedback were given to improve this module. After some revisions, the module was implemented in two junior high schools in Soppeng and reached an average score of 99.5 % from four aspects: utility, feasibility, accuracy, and propriety of the module. In terms of students' satisfaction related to teachers’ method of delivering material using a social culture approach to differentiated instruction, 77.7% was achieved, which showed students feel very satisfied with differentiated instruction with a socio-cultural approach. Based on this result, the teaching module for differentiated instruction with a social-culture approach is valid and practical, so it qualifies as a feasible and quality development product.

Abstract

Writing recount texts remains a challenging task for many junior high school students in Indonesia, particularly because it requires an accurate use of grammar, sentence organization, and vocabulary mastery. Previous studies have shown that learners frequently commit errors in tense usage, sentence structure, and word choice, yet limited research has connected these issues to students’ dependency on translation tools and their overall writing competence. This study, therefore, aimed to explore the common errors made by eighth-grade students in writing recount texts and to identify the underlying causes of those errors. The research involved 25 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Liliriaje, Soppeng, and data were collected through students’ written tasks supported by semi-structured interviews with both students and their English teacher. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through students’ written tasks and supported by interviews with both students and their English teacher. The analysis revealed four dominant error categories: verb tense misuse, subject–verb agreement errors, sentence structure problems, and spelling mistakes. Among these, verb tense errors—especially the inappropriate use of the present tense instead of the past tense—emerged as the most frequent, indicating students’ limited mastery of narrative conventions. In addition, interviews showed that students’ reliance on Google Translate contributed significantly to structural inaccuracies and hindered their grammatical development. The findings contribute to the field of English language teaching by highlighting the urgent need for explicit grammar instruction, vocabulary enrichment strategies, and guided use of translation technology. Pedagogically, this research offers insights into designing targeted writing instruction that addresses students’ recurring difficulties and fosters greater writing accuracy and independence in EFL contexts.

The research design employed a quasi-experimental method with a quantitative approach. The study population consisted of 72 students divided into two classes: a control class and an experimental class. The research involved administering a pre-test and post-test, followed by four treatment sessions using the role play method. Data were collected through the pre-test and post-test, in which students' speaking performance scores were evaluated. The results showed that the average pre-test score of the control group was 63.00, increasing to 73.50 in the post-test. In the experimental group, the average pre-lest score was 68.36, rising to 78.86 in the post-test. There was a significant difference in the mean scores of the experimental class, with an increase of 7.9 points after the treatment. The significance level was 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis (HO) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (HI) was accepted.
