Abstract

This study aims to analyze the classroom management strategies applied by the English teachers in the eighth grade at SMP Negeri 3 Gunungsitoli Alo'oa in increasing student learning motivation, as well as to assess the outcomes of these strategies. The research method employed is qualitative with a descriptive methodology, involving data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the classroom management strategies applied including seating arrangements, varied teaching methods, and the provision of positive feedback significantly contribute to enhancing student learning motivation. Appropriate physical classroom arrangements that align with student characteristics, along with the use of diverse teaching methods such as group discussions and give praise, have proven effective in maintaining student engagement and interest. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of structured classroom management, flexibility in teaching methods, and the application of positive feedback in creating a supportive learning environment that boosts student motivation. These findings support theories regarding the influence of classroom design, varied teaching techniques, and positive feedback on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to increase student interest in learning at SMK Negeri 1 Sitolu Ori by developing strategies for using the Quizizz application, developing the use of the Quizizz program, and determining how students react to its use. The need to identify practical methods for raising student enthusiasm and engagement in a classroom setting is the main emphasis of this study. This study uses Quizizz, which provides interactive tests and gamification features, to evaluate how it affects student engagement and interest. Surveys were used to collect data both before and after implementation. According to the findings, using Quizizz greatly raised students' motivation and involvement in their education. This study employed a 4D development model in conjunction with a Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The validation questionnaire validated the results, which demonstrated that the Quizizz application used in this study was highly practical and viable. With a 90% agreement level, media professionals assigned an average score of 0.9, placing it in the extremely possible category. With an agreement level of 81.66%, material experts assigned an average score of 0.81, placing them in the extremely feasible category. With a 100% agreement level, practitioner experts assigned an average score of 1, placing it in the extremely possible category.  Based on these findings, the study comes to the conclusion that using Quizizz as an educational technology tool to increase students' interest in studying at SMK Negeri 1 Sitolu Ori has been shown to be both practicable and useful. Teachers and other educators are advised to learn how to use the Quizizz app for various learning activities.

Abstract

This study explored the effectiveness of Wordwall Media in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Sitoluori through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted over two cycles. The findings revealed a marked improvement in vocabulary, assessed across three domains: spoken, written, and meaning. Initial pre-test scores showed averages of 52.72 (spoken), 29.63 (written), and 28.63 (meaning). In Cycle I, scores rose to 73.63 (spoken), 75 (written), and 49.09 (meaning), and further improved in Cycle II to 84.09 (spoken), 86.81 (written), and 84.09 (meaning). The use of Wordwall Media significantly supported vocabulary development by offering interactive and visually engaging content, such as animations and images, which enhanced student comprehension and motivation. The study concludes that integrating Wordwall Media into English instruction effectively addresses students’ vocabulary challenges. Teachers are encouraged to adopt this tool consistently to foster a more dynamic and effective learning environment.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using descriptive texts to improve English vocabulary acquisition at SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. Motivated by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, which hinders their comprehension and writing of descriptive texts, the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach involving seventh-grade participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that descriptive texts provide meaningful context, aiding students in understanding and retaining new vocabulary. The inclusion of media such as images and videos further supports vocabulary learning by enhancing engagement and comprehension. Despite these benefits, challenges persist, including low motivation, repetitive instructional methods, and insufficient use of media, which limit students’ ability to relate new vocabulary to real-life contexts. Nevertheless, students expressed generally positive perceptions, noting that descriptive texts made learning more interactive, enjoyable, and useful for vocabulary development and writing improvement. The study recommends that teachers regularly integrate descriptive texts with visual aids and interactive strategies to foster greater student motivation and participation. These findings contribute to the advancement of more effective and engaging English language teaching practices at the junior high school level.
