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

This study aims to analyze how the use of podcasts works in improving listening comprehension of grade VIII students at UPTD SMP Negeri 5 Gunungsitoli. In the digital era, audio-based learning media such as podcasts are increasingly popular and are considered effective in improving listening comprehension. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with observation, interview, and documentation data collection techniques. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' listening skills using podcasts. This suggests that podcasts can be an effective medium for improving students' listening comprehension. These findings support the idea that technology, if effectively integrated into education, can encourage greater engagement and improve learning outcomes. However, educators must consider overcoming existing challenges in order to fully utilize the potential of podcasts as an educational resource. Further research can explore the long-term effects and optimal strategies for integrating podcast technology into diverse learning environments.

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

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.

Investigates the writing abilities of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Gido in crafting tourism advertisements about Nias Island.

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.
