Abstract

This study investigates the meanings of English loanwords in Indonesian sport texts. The data analyzed in this study were taken from sport articles of an Indonesian newspaper in 2010 and 2011. Their meanings in the text were compared to those in English dictionaries, sport glossary and KBBI 2008 using Nida’s componential analysis of meaning (Nida, 1975:32-67). The results showed that most of the English loanwords in the Indonesian sport articles had their meanings unchanged and some others experienced semantic changes. The results imply that some revision should be made to the meanings of some English loanwords in KBBI 2008.

From the statistical analysis, the mean score of the students increased by 7.00 after the flowchart media was implemented. The t-value obtained was 8.885 with a degree of freedom (df) of 35, therefore the t-table obtained was 2.030. The level of significance showed a value of 0.000 or less than the probability of 0.05 and indicates a significant increase in the students’ writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the improvement of students’ speaking achievement and their perceptions toward the implementation of integrated Think–Pair–Share (TPS) and Three-Step Interview (TSI). The research employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 ninth-grade students at SMPN 4 Metro. Instruments included a speaking test (pretest and posttest) and a perception questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test and descriptive analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking scores from a pretest mean of 84.80 to a posttest mean of 89.40 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, students’ perceptions toward the TPS–TSI were positive with overall mean = 3.86, with the Target and Situation dimensions receiving the highest means, 3.94. These findings suggest that the integration of TPS–TSI not only enhances speaking skills but also fosters a supportive learning environment aligned with students’ future goals.
