Abstract

Writing is one of the ways people convey information and give their opinions on specific topics. As an indispensable part of language communication, writing becomes an essential skill that students must master. However, grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu have low narrative writing ability. Therefore, the researcher wants to improve students' ability to write narrative texts by conducting group discussions.

Abstract

English reading skills are essential for academic success, fostering comprehension, critical thinking, and motivation. Engaging reading materials, particularly those reflecting cultural relevance, like Nias local wisdom, enhance intrinsic motivation and learning achievement. This research uses a mixed-methods approach to assess textbook content with Nias-based texts to assess their motivational impact. Using a Sequential Explanatory Design, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods for comprehensive insights. Quantitative tests measure reading comprehension and motivation, while qualitative interviews explore students' perceptions. Data integration ensures robust findings, guiding effective educational practices at SMA Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli. The research analyzed texts from the BAHASA INGGRIS textbook ("Little Red Riding Hood") and Nias local wisdom ("Warrior of Sun Hill"). Students scored higher on the Nias text (mean 83.1 vs. 81.9), indicating greater engagement. Interviews with the Nias text revealed stronger intrinsic motivation, such as curiosity, involvement, and challenge. Extrinsic factors, like grades and compliance, were less influential but still relevant. A readability analysis showed "Little Red Riding Hood" as more straightforward, making it suitable for younger readers. The study highlights that culturally relevant texts, like Nias wisdom-based materials, significantly boost students' motivation, engagement, and academic performance, underscoring the importance of incorporating intrinsic motivators into English reading curricula.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the basic skills in learnng English that enables students to convey ideas and communicate effectively. However, many students still face difficulties in speaking due to various factors, such as lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This research aims to analyze students' perceptions and the factors affecting their difficulties in speaking English. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of SMP Swasta Kristen BNKP Gunungsitoli with 18 students as participants. The findings revealed that students experienced various difficulties in speaking English, which were categorized into psychological problems (such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, lack of pronounciation, and lack of vocabulary), language problems (including inhibition, nothing to say, low and uneven participation and the tendency to use mother tongue), and other influencing factors (such as physical condition, intelligence, aptitude, and interest). Most students showed lack of confidence and anxiety when speaking English, which led to limited participation during English class. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to develop more effective and student-centered teaching strategies, and to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to speak actively in English.

Abstract

Reading aloud is an important basic skill in English language learning. However, students in class VIII-A UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli are facing difficulties in reading aloud, such as incorrect pronunciation, monotonous intonation, low voice volume, and lack of expression. This study aims to analyze students' ability to read aloud and the factors that influence it. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with 32 students as subjects. Data were collected through observation, reading aloud tests, interviews, and documentation. The assessment was based on four aspects: pronunciation and clarity, fluency, volume, and intonation with expression. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model. The results showed that most students were in the low and very low categories, and there were no students who reached the excellent category. Errors most often occurred in pronunciation and intonation, which indicates limited vocabulary mastery and weak phonological awareness. Internal factors such as lack of confidence, low motivation, and limited vocabulary were found to hinder performance. External factors, including an unsupportive learning environment and minimal practice opportunities, also contributed to students’ difficulties. In conclusion, students' ability to read aloud still needs significant improvement through regular practice, vocabulary enrichment, and teacher support in creating a conducive and engaging classroom atmosphere. This research is expected to provide input for teachers in designing reading activities that emphasize pronunciation, fluency, and expression to help students build confidence and improve overall English proficiency.

Abstract

This study aimed to increase the collaboration skill of 11th grade students in English learning through the application of the Jigsaw model at SMK Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli. The main problem identified was the low level of students' collaboration skills despite the use of group discussion methods, which were characterized by passive attitudes, lack of active contribution, ineffective communication, minimal mutual respect among group members, and suboptimal role distribution in group discussions. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings with planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation sheets, interviews, and documentation, then analysed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed a significant improvement in students' collaboration skills after the implementation of the Jigsaw model. In Cycle I, students' collaboration skills were rated as adequate with an average score of 64, while in Cycle II, they improved to outstanding with an average score of 86. This 22-point increase indicated the effectiveness of the Jigsaw model in facilitating active participation, communication, responsibility, and mutual respect within the group. In addition, the interview findings revealed several factors that hindered collaboration, such as lack of confidence, lack of time discipline, fear of rejection, and an unfavorable group atmosphere. This study implied that the Jigsaw model had proven effective in overcoming these barriers by clearly dividing tasks, forming expert groups for in-depth material exploration, and fostering individual and collective accountability. Thus, the implementation of the Jigsaw model could be an effective strategy to enhance students' collaboration skills in English language learning at vocational high schools, ultimately supporting the achievement of better learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of skimming and scanning techniques in reading instruction implemented by the English teacher for eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Mandrehe Barat. The research focuses on how these techniques are applied during classroom activities and explores the challenges faced by the teacher in the teaching process. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and supporting documentation. The findings reveal that the teacher was able to apply skimming and scanning effectively to improve students’ reading comprehension. Skimming enabled students to identify the main ideas, themes, and general meaning of the text, while scanning facilitated the ability to locate specific information such as names, dates, and key terms. These techniques not only improved reading speed but also encouraged more active participation among students, creating a more interactive learning atmosphere. However, the study also identified several obstacles, including limited instructional time, variations in students’ reading proficiency levels, and challenges related to inadequate vocabulary mastery, which sometimes hindered comprehension. Despite these challenges, the integration of skimming and scanning proved beneficial in motivating students to read more purposefully and strategically. The study concludes that these reading strategies play a vital role in enhancing comprehension and engagement in English language learning. It is recommended that teachers receive further professional development and be supported with appropriate teaching resources to optimize the application of skimming and scanning techniques in various classroom contexts.
