Abstract

This research was mainly conducted in order to prove that Shadowing technique could improve listening comprehension of the eighth grade students of SMP St Petrus Medan in the Academic Year of 2022/2023 and to describe their responses towards the implementation of Shadowing technique in the processes of learning listening comprehension. The quantitative data analysis showed the mean score increase from 53,9 in Pre-test with 27% of the students got score ≥72, in Formative-test 65,3 with 57% of the students got score ≥72, and 82,6 in Post-test with 93% of the students got score ≥72. Furthermore, the students’ responses toward the technique of the teaching learning process sound great because above 90% of the students are interested, motivated and understand the lesson with Shadowing technique. This is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The research findings showed that teaching listening comprehension by using Shadowing technique to the eighth-grade students of SMP St Petrus Medan could improve their listening comprehension.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to improve EFL students' exposure to English language acquisition while preventing boredom. In order to get insight into the teaching-learning environment of the classroom and the speaking abilities of EFL students, the researcher used classroom action research. She conducted interviews with the English teacher and students as well as performed observations and administered assessments. With deliberate sampling, this method enables the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data. The pre-test, cycle 1 post-test, and cycle 2 post-test results all showed that EFL students' comprehension of idiomatic speech had significantly increased after using role-playing techniques, as recommended by the study. EFL students performed poorly in the first cycle, as evidenced by their average theoretical score of 62.57 and their 28.57% success rate on the practical test. The EFL mean score on the theoretical test increased to 80.00 in the second cycle with modifications, while the practical test success rate increased to 85.71%. This illustrates how the role-playing technique affects idiomatic speech in EFL. The study also discovered that learners prioritize specific word meanings over metaphorical interpretations, in contrast to native speakers. In the end, the study emphasizes how important it is to take perceptions into account while assessing idiom learning and processing.

Abstract

This research presents a comprehensive analysis of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in higher education, drawing insights from seven studies involving 150 students. The investigation delves into various factors such as academic proficiency, TOEFL scores, and gender distribution. Findings reveal a clustering of TOEFL scores around the midpoint of the range, suggesting a normal distribution. However, gender distribution exhibits significant deviations from normalcy. Despite these variations, detailed statistical analyses offer valuable insights into student performance within EMI programs. Moving beyond data analysis, a systematic review explores the impact and effective practices of EMI in higher education. It acknowledges the ongoing debate regarding EMI's influence on language proficiency and academic achievement. While some studies suggest positive outcomes, others highlight challenges and discrepancies, emphasizing the complexity of evaluating EMI's success. The review underscores the importance of examining diverse linguistic and non-linguistic factors and calls for further research to inform instructional strategies. Furthermore, the study identifies effective practices in EMI implementation, emphasizing instructional techniques, curriculum design, language support services, assessment procedures, faculty development, and reflective practice. These approaches aim to create inclusive learning environments conducive to language acquisition, subject matter learning, and student success. Additionally, the review proposes solutions to address challenges and promote inclusivity in EMI contexts, including cultural orientation programs, academic assistance, institutional regulations, social justice initiatives, intercultural competencies, and student-centered teaching approaches. This holistic approach seeks to enhance the long-term success and well-being of students within the EMI framework in higher education.

Abstract

Meningkatkan kemampuan membaca sangat penting karena memungkinkan seseorang untuk meningkatkan kemampuan otaknya dan membuat keputusan. Menumbuhkan minat peserta didik untuk membaca sejak dini adalah salah satu hal yang dapat dia lakukan. Namun, karena kurangnya dorongan, keinginan, dan motivasi dari peserta didik sendiri, minat membaca terus meningkat, terutama di kalangan siswa yang masih duduk di bangku sekolah dasar. Hal ini disebabkan oleh karena kurangnya peranan orangtua dan guru dalam menerapkan minat membaca pada peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran orang tua dalam meningkatkan minat baca pada anak. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan peneliti adalah metodologi kualitatif sebagai prosedur penelitian yang mengahasilkan data deskriptif berupa kata-kata tertulis atau lisan dari orang- orang atau perilaku yang diamati. studi kasus yang bersifat deskriptif.Teknik pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini meliputi wawancara, observasi.Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan model Miles, Huberman dan Sadana meliputi pengumpulan data, kondensasi data, display data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran orang tua terhadap anak-anaknya berbeda-beda dan mempengaruhi minat belajar dan membaca anak. Orang tua yang kurang memperhatikan waktu belajar anaknya menyebabkan minat belajar dan membaca anak juga kurang. sedangkan orang tua yang lebih memperhatikan dan mengontrol waktu belajar anaknya maka anak tersebut memiliki minat belajar dan membaca lebih besar dari anak lainnya. Sehingga peran orang tua juga sangat penting untuk mempengaruhi minat membaca peserta didik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tentang peran orang tua dalam meningkatkan minat membaca di Desa Perumas Simalingkar Dusun Lada maka peneliti mengambil kesimpulan yaitu Orang tua di rumah membiasakan anaknya belajar dan membaca dengan membuatkan jadwal dan kontrol serta pengawasan langsung dari orang tua. Orang tua juga dapat berperan meningkatkan minat baca pada anak dengan cara membuat perpustakaan kecil dirumah yang berisi buku cerita, pelajaran, komik dan apapun yang digemari anak serta pentingnya memotivasi anak untuk membuat minat baca anak meningkat.
