Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of self-directed learning (SDL) strategies on students' reading comprehension at PEMBDA 2 Gunungsitoli Private Junior High School. The background of this study shows that students experience difficulties in understanding reading texts, which has a negative impact on their academic development. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design involving two groups: an experimental group using the SDL strategy and a control group using conventional methods. The results showed a significant increase in students' reading comprehension skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. The average pretest score of the experimental group was 43.47 and increased to 89.47 on the posttest, while the control group only increased from 36.27 to 48.13. The t-test showed a significance value (p 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the SDL strategy in improving reading comprehension. In addition, the N-Gain value for the experimental group was 0.814 (high category), while the control group was only 0.185 (low category). The conclusion of this study is that the application of the SDL strategy significantly improves students' reading comprehension skills, creating a more independent, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experience. This study recommends the use of the SDL strategy in English teaching at the junior high school level as an effective method for improving student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Reading aloud is an important basic skill in English language learning. However, students in class VIII-A UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli are facing difficulties in reading aloud, such as incorrect pronunciation, monotonous intonation, low voice volume, and lack of expression. This study aims to analyze students' ability to read aloud and the factors that influence it. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with 32 students as subjects. Data were collected through observation, reading aloud tests, interviews, and documentation. The assessment was based on four aspects: pronunciation and clarity, fluency, volume, and intonation with expression. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model. The results showed that most students were in the low and very low categories, and there were no students who reached the excellent category. Errors most often occurred in pronunciation and intonation, which indicates limited vocabulary mastery and weak phonological awareness. Internal factors such as lack of confidence, low motivation, and limited vocabulary were found to hinder performance. External factors, including an unsupportive learning environment and minimal practice opportunities, also contributed to students’ difficulties. In conclusion, students' ability to read aloud still needs significant improvement through regular practice, vocabulary enrichment, and teacher support in creating a conducive and engaging classroom atmosphere. This research is expected to provide input for teachers in designing reading activities that emphasize pronunciation, fluency, and expression to help students build confidence and improve overall English proficiency.

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 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 research aims to analyze classroom management applied in the process of teaching speaking skills in English classes. Classroom management is an essential aspect that influences the effectiveness of learning, especially in speaking skills, which require active interaction between teachers and students. This study employs a qualitative approach using observation, interview, and documentation methods involving English teachers and students at UPTD SMP Negeri 5 Gunungsitoli. The focus of the analysis includes classroom management strategies used by teachers to create a conducive learning environment, time management techniques, the arrangement of student interactions, and the handling of disturbances during speaking lessons. The findings reveal that teachers use a combination of classroom management techniques such as grouping students for discussions, providing clear instructions, and giving positive reinforcement to motivate learners. However, challenges remain in controlling distractions and maintaining students’ focus during speaking activities. This research recommends the need for specific training for teachers in effective and adaptive classroom management strategies to ensure that the teaching of speaking skills runs more optimally and results in maximum learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of visual arts to enhance vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Gunungsitoli Alo’oa. The problem identified is students’ limited vocabulary caused by monotonous, text-based teaching methods that reduce motivation and engagement in English learning. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) employed a qualitative approach over two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. Visual art media used included an animated video and a thematic image titled “Home Sweet Home,” both designed to present vocabulary contextually and engagingly. Data collection tools included observation sheets, field notes, and evaluation tests using multiple-choice questions with visual cues. The minimum passing criterion was set at 70%. Results showed improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with average scores increasing from 84.83 in Cycle I to 92.00 in Cycle II. Students displayed greater understanding, enthusiasm, and participation when learning with visual media. The integration of both video and image media proved more effective than using a single medium, helping students connect vocabulary to visual contexts. In conclusion, visual arts are effective tools for vocabulary instruction, enhancing comprehension, memory retention, and student motivation in English learning.
