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.

Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are essential in developing students’ critical and analytical abilities, particularly through reading activities. Many English textbooks still lack adequate integration of HOTS-based tasks, creating a gap between curriculum expectations and actual practice. This study aimed to analyze the distribution of HOTS in the reading exercises of the “English for Nusantara” textbook for eighth grade junior high school students. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and content analysis, data were collected from five chapters of the textbook used at SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli Barat. A checklist based on Bloom’s Taxonomy was used to identify HOTS elements. The findings revealed that only 23 out of 116 reading exercises (19.6%) contained HOTS components. The most common skill was analyzing (C4), followed by creating (C6) and evaluating (C5). These results indicate limited integration of HOTS in the textbook, which highlights the need for improvement in English instructional materials.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis minat baca siswa melalui penggunaan cerita rakyat dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya minat siswa dalam membaca teks Bahasa Inggris dan perlunya pendekatan pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan menarik. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan angket. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 21 siswa kelas VIII-B. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa membaca cerita rakyat dalam Bahasa Inggris memiliki sejumlah kendala, seperti kosakata yang terbatas, teks yang panjang sehingga sulit dipahami dan menimbulkan kebingungan siswa, serta struktur kalimat yang kompleks. Selain itu, ditemukan juga beberapa faktor yang memengaruhi minat baca, seperti rendahnya rasa percaya diri, gugup, dan takut melakukan kesalahan saat membaca. Sebagian besar siswa menunjukkan motivasi intrinsik yang tinggi, rasa senang dalam membaca, minat terhadap cerita rakyat, frekuensi membaca yang baik, dan sikap positif terhadap kegiatan membaca. Dengan pendekatan yang tepat dan dukungan pembelajaran yang tepat, cerita rakyat dapat menjadi media yang efektif untuk menumbuhkan minat baca siswa dalam konteks pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

This study tourism plays a significant role in promoting local culture and contributing to regional economic growth. In recent years, educational institutions have recognized the importance of integrating tourism-related topics into language learning as a way to enhance students’ communication skills while fostering cultural awareness. In the context of Nias Island, which is known for its unique traditions and natural beauty, introducing tourism advertisement writing in English can serve as a means of promoting local destinations to a wider audience. This study focuses on analyzing the ability of ninth-grade students to write tourism advertisements, highlighting both their strengths and areas that need improvement. Investigates the writing abilities of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Gido in crafting tourism advertisements about Nias Island. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected via observations, interviews, and documentation from 32 students in class IX-A. Results reveal that students possess strong skills in identifying content and creativity (96%) but face difficulties in grammar (43%), structure (66%), and persuasiveness (66%). Limited vocabulary, underdeveloped persuasive techniques, and insufficient knowledge of local attractions hinder their writing effectiveness. The findings highlight the importance of integrating persuasive writing instruction and cultural content into English lessons to support tourism promotion.

Abstract

English is one of the essential subjects that students must master, particularly in writing skill. However, the reality 22 eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Mandrehe Utara still had difficulties in writing good and structured narrative texts. This was due to the lack of learning strategys that support students in organizing their ideas. Therefore, this study aimed to describe students’ ability in writing narrative texts through the implementation of concept mapping that is valid, practical, and effective. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, written tests, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the use of concept mapping helped students to organize ideas systematically, understand the structure of narrative texts, and develop more coherent storylines. The teacher provided sufficient guidance, although written evaluations and individual feedback were not yet optimal. Most students showed improvement in narrative writing, especially in composing orientation, complication, and resolution. However, some students still found it difficult to develop creative conflicts and conclusions. The study concluded that concept mapping is an effective learning strategy to support the process of writing narrative texts. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers consistently apply this strategy and complement it with comprehensive evaluation to achieve better learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of a Nias culture-based English textbook designed to enrich 21st century skills in vocational high school students. The problem underlying this study is the low relevance of the teaching materials used to the local cultural context making it difficult for them to understand the material in depth. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the textbook was designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated in terms of feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness. The effectiveness of the product is tested using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group posttest-only design. The research sample was determined using cluster sampling to represent students in different class groups. Research subjects included an experimental class, control class and an additional school as the dissemination class. Data is collected through expert validation, implementation, questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. The validation results showed high feasibility scores from four experts (100% culture and material, 95.55% language, 85.71% design). The developed book was also found to be practical and effective in enhancing students’ 21st-century skills, particularly in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. The posttest results revealed clear improvements in students’ learning outcomes compared to the control class. Moreover, both teachers and students responded positively, emphasizing the textbook’s relevance to local culture and its usefulness in the learning process. Therefore, the Nias culture-based English textbook can be concluded as a feasible, practical, and effective learning resource that integrates local wisdom, strengthens students’ cultural identity, and fosters essential 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of student discipline in the English learning process and the strategies used by teachers in managing student discipline in the seventh grade at SMP Negeri 3 Sogae'adu. Student discipline issues such as lack of attention to lessons, tardiness, and lack of responsibility in completing assignments are the main focus of this study. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of 18 students and one English teacher. The results showed that most students had a good level of discipline, as seen from their punctuality, compliance with class rules, and responsibility and active participation in learning activities. Teachers implement three types of strategies to foster and maintain discipline, namely preventive strategies (establishing rules and positive habits), supportive strategies (giving gentle reprimands, rewards, and empathy to students), and corrective strategies (dealing with violations with a reflective and educational approach). Consistent application of these strategies, accompanied by positive relationships between teachers and students, has been shown to create a comfortable and safe learning environment that supports effective English language learning. This study concludes that student discipline is greatly influenced by teachers' humanistic and communicative strategies in classroom management, which have a direct impact on student engagement and learning achievement. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat disiplin siswa dalam proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dan strategi yang digunakan oleh guru dalam mengelola disiplin siswa di kelas tujuh SMP Negeri 3 Sogae'adu. Masalah disiplin siswa seperti kurangnya perhatian terhadap pelajaran, keterlambatan, dan kurangnya tanggung jawab dalam menyelesaikan tugas menjadi fokus utama penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 18 siswa dan satu guru Bahasa Inggris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa memiliki tingkat disiplin yang baik, terlihat dari ketepatan waktu, kepatuhan terhadap aturan kelas, serta tanggung jawab dan partisipasi aktif dalam kegiatan belajar. Guru menerapkan tiga jenis strategi untuk menumbuhkan dan mempertahankan disiplin, yaitu strategi pencegahan (menetapkan aturan dan kebiasaan positif), strategi pendukung (memberikan teguran lembut, hadiah, dan empati kepada siswa), dan strategi korektif (menangani pelanggaran dengan pendekatan reflektif dan edukatif). Penerapan konsisten strategi-strategi ini, disertai dengan hubungan positif antara guru dan siswa, telah terbukti menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang nyaman dan aman yang mendukung pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang efektif. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa disiplin siswa sangat dipengaruhi oleh strategi humanis dan komunikatif guru dalam manajemen kelas, yang memiliki dampak langsung pada keterlibatan siswa dan pencapaian belajar.
