Abstract

The creation of a new text is highly influenced by previous texts, known as intertextual relationships. For instance, the short stories "Menombak Matahari" and "Sarpakuda" portray the resistance of Ki Ageng Mangir and the agony of Putri Pambayun, and are likely inspired by preexisting texts. This research examines the intertextual relationship between these two short stories and Babad Mangir from Suradipura, an old literature, as modern literary works. A comparative and an intertextual approach have been used to achieve this goal. By comparing the textual data of the short stories and the text of Babad Mangir Suradipura, it is evident that both short stories use Babad Mangir as a source of inspiration but develop their conflicts differently while still using traditional themes.

Abstract

English language skills in bilingual schools are critical. Teachers must teach students and help them communicate orally and in writing. This phenomenon is also seen in SD Tahfizhul Quran As-Sukarti Salatiga. Teachers must have good English communication skills since the school cooperates with NGOs from abroad. Currently, the number of human resources proficient in English is limited because only two teachers are proficient, and the others are not. The ability of teachers who can speak English varies, with most non-English teachers wanting to learn but lacking the confidence to speak. Although the school holds English courses every day, the lack of teachers' ability to communicate actively is still an issue. Two main problems were found from observations and interviews: the communication skills needed to support the bilingual classroom program and the lack of communication training for teachers. To overcome the problems at SD Tahfizul Quran As-Sukarti Salatiga, the service team created a program to improve real-life daily English communication skills for teachers at the school. The methods used in this training are lecture and discussion, practice, and role-play. Based on observations and questionnaires distributed after the training activities, teachers gave positive responses. They said this English training activity is essential for teachers to improve their competence and confidence. They also hoped there would be a sustainable program such as training that focuses on adding listening, speaking, and vocabulary skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the integration of hybrid learning and team-based projects in learning to write and to explain the effectiveness of implementing hybrid and team-based projects in improving students' writing performances. This research method was mixed with quantitative analysis using quasi-experiments and questionnaires, while qualitative analysis used observations in writing classes. The instruments applied were writing tests, questionnaires, and observations. The results of this study were feasible to be used and tested in a small-scale class in the third semester of English Education at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. The average result of the validation is more than four scores, so it is in the excellent category. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of student perspectives on learning through Team-Based Projects are divided into four, namely; student perspectives and motivation regarding the implementation of hybrid learning, student perspectives on the effectiveness of Team-Based Projects, student perceptions of independent learning through team-based projects and hybrid learning, and student perceptions about working in groups. All of the indicators were categorized as excellent. In addition, the integration of hybrid learning and team-based project in the English Language Education Study Program with the participation of seventy-two students with the final grades of all students being in the complete category above seventy so that the integration of hybrid learning and team-based projects is effectively implemented in genre text writing classes. Therefore, the results of this study can make a good contribution because they can motivate students to write texts and improve independent student learning. HIGHLIGHTS: Integrating hybrid learning and team-based projects is suitable for use and testing in small class scales in the third semester of English Education at the Muhammadiyah University of Semarang. The average result of the validation results is more than 4.00, so it is in the excellent category. The student perspectives on learning through Team-Based Projects are divided into four: student perspectives on motivation and their writing results, student perspectives on the effectiveness of Team-Based Projects, student perceptions of independent learning through Team-Based Projects and Hybrid understanding, and student perceptions about working in groups. The lecturers should apply hybrid learning and team-based projects to motivate and train students to learn independence and provide experiences of a harmonious learning process. Next, for future researchers, it is advisable to expand the research subject so that the results obtained are more in-depth and can be implemented in other English skills, namely speaking, listening, and reading.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the argumentative text writing skills of 12th-grade students in class XII F at SMA N 11 Semarang through the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. Writing argumentative texts is an essential competency for students to develop critical, logical, and systematic thinking skills. However, initial observations revealed that students' ability to write argumentative texts was relatively low. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach using the model developed by Kemmis and McTaggart, which consists of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 36 students from class XII F at SMA N 11 Semarang in the academic year 2024/2025. Data were collected through observation, interviews, writing tests, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively using qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings show that implementing the Project-Based Learning model significantly improved students' argumentative writing skills. In Cycle I, the average student writing score was 70, which increased to 82 in Cycle II. Additionally, students' motivation and participation levels also showed significant improvement. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Project-Based Learning model is effective in enhancing the argumentative writing skills of 12th-grade students in class XII F at SMA N 11 Semarang.
