Abstract

The focus of research on students' anxiety when speaking a foreign language, such as English, has shifted to language learning and education. However, the experience of students who reached the intermediate level remains underexplored, particularly in the context of students in intermediate speaking classes. This study aims to identify the students’ reasons for feeling anxious and whether intermediate students also experience language anxiety. This qualitative research involved 20 participants from an intermediate-speaking class of fifth-year English Education Department undergraduate students at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. Data were collected using an unstructured interview and an observation sheet. Triangulation was used to analyze data by checking the credibility of data from interviews and observations. According to the findings of this study, students were anxious for three reasons: they were afraid of making mistakes, they were shy to speak, and they had lost motivation to speak. The students who joined the intermediate speaking class experienced anxiety as their psychological disorder. Anxiety was identified as the dominant psychological disorder among the students. It supported the previous research that found students of all levels experienced anxiety in their speaking English class. As a result, to alleviate students' anxiety about speaking a foreign language, teachers must consider the students' anxiety when developing teaching materials and media.

Abstract

This study aims to implement the drill method in an English teaching assistance program for TPQ (Qur'anic Elementary School) students in Maleo Village, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo, utilizing the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The teaching assistance was carried out by students from IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo as part of the Thematic Social Work Program (KKS-T). The study followed the four core stages of the ABCD framework: Discovery, Dream, Design, and Delivery. The findings indicate that this approach successfully optimized local assets, including the active participation of TPQ teachers, youth organizations, and parents. The drill method was implemented over a 12-day period, focusing on pronunciation, basic vocabulary, and simple conversations, and was enriched with songs and games. Based on the pre-test and post-test results, the students' average scores increased significantly from 5.1 to 70.0. In addition to improving students’ English proficiency, the program also fostered students’ social awareness and contributed to the empowerment of the local community. This study recommends the integration of community asset-based learning models and the drill method as effective strategies for basic English instruction in non-formal educational settings.

Abstract

Semantic mapping is a widely recognized strategy in English language learning, particularly in the development of writing skills. Despite its proven effectiveness, limited attention has been given to its use at the pre-writing stage, especially in paragraph writing. This study aims to explore the perspectives of both teachers and students on the application of semantic mapping during the pre-writing phase and to identify the benefits and challenges associated with its implementation. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving two teachers and seventeen students from Muhammadiyah Junior High School in Gorontalo City. The findings revealed that both teachers and students held positive views about using semantic mapping before writing. They reported various benefits, although they also faced several challenges, particularly related to time constraints and students’ preparedness. The results of this study suggest that semantic mapping remains a valuable instructional tool that can be further developed and effectively integrated with emerging educational technologies.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of flashcard media on the English vocabulary mastery of fourth-grade students at SDN Matayangan. The research employs a quantitative method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. A total of 24 students from class IV were selected as the research sample using total sampling technique. The research instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions, which were administered both before and after the treatment to measure students’ vocabulary mastery. The treatment involved the use of flashcard media as a learning tool during English vocabulary lessons over a period of several sessions. The research findings show an improvement in the students’ vocabulary scores, with an average pretest score of 63.96 increasing to an average posttest score of 78.33. This indicates that students demonstrated better vocabulary understanding after being exposed to flashcard media. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test through SPSS, which revealed a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). This result confirms that there is a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of flashcard media had a significant effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. The findings support previous research which suggests that visual media such as flashcards can enhance memory and retention, especially among young learners. The use of colorful and engaging flashcards helped students to associate words with images, making the learning process more effective and enjoyable. This study recommends that teachers incorporate flashcards into classroom instruction as an alternative strategy to improve students’ English vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

In the context of educational reform in Indonesia, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has brought significant changes over the past few decades. A crucial aspect of this transformation is the curriculum for students, aimed at equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become productive members of society. Launched by the Ministry of Education in 2020, the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes a more holistic and inclusive educational approach, focusing on student-centered learning and technology use. This study aims to analyze the alignment of the textbook "Bright An English" with the Merdeka Curriculum for second-grade junior high school students, identifying its strengths and weaknesses in supporting English language learning. A qualitative approach was employed, specifically through document analysis. This method is often used to analyze written or visual data to identify specific characteristics or materials, focusing on the English textbook "Bright An English". The analysis revealed that the textbook generally meets the English language competencies outlined in the Merdeka Curriculum. Students are able to engage with various types of texts and develop their language skills effectively. However, areas such as the integration of character values and cultural diversity in the teaching materials require improvement. The findings indicate that "Bright An English" is largely aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, fulfilling many essential requirements. Despite some shortcomings, the textbook remains a valuable resource for teachers and students, and supplementary materials are recommended to enhance the learning experience. Overall, it provides a solid foundation for English language education at the junior high school level.
