Abstract

Many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing story sequences, and applying appropriate language features. This problem was also identified among eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Metro, where students’ writing performance was relatively low due to the use of conventional teaching methods and limited visual learning media. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using image sequence media in improving students’ narrative writing ability. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants consisted of 28 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through writing tests and documentation, and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample T-Test. The results revealed that the mean pretest score of 40.07 significantly increased to 79.75 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). These findings indicate that the use of image sequence media has a significant positive effect on students’ narrative writing ability. The study demonstrates that image sequence media effectively assists students in developing ideas, organizing storylines, and improving the overall quality of their writing. Therefore, it can be concluded that image sequence media is an effective instructional strategy for teaching narrative writing at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study investigated the development of an English language environment in an Islamic boarding school context where learners often had limited opportunities to use English beyond the classroom. Previous studies tended to examine language learning factors separately, leaving a gap in understanding how environmental elements functioned as an integrated system. To address this gap, this research proposed the concept of the “chemistry” of the English environment, referring to the dynamic interaction between institutional policy, teaching practices, and social communication. The study employed a qualitative ethnographic design conducted at the Modern Islamic Boarding School Darussalam Gontor, involving school leaders, teachers, and students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, and analysed using an interactive model of data reduction, display, and verification. The findings revealed that the English environment was successfully constructed through the integration of formal instruction and informal daily interaction supported by strict discipline and continuous exposure. It was also found that institutional control played a significant role in shaping language habits, although a gap remained between external motivation and consistent language use. Furthermore, peer interaction and student organisations contributed to sustaining communicative practices in natural settings. These findings suggested that a structured and immersive environment could effectively support second language acquisition when supported by consistent policy and social engagement. This study contributed to the field by offering an integrated model of language environment development and provided practical implications for designing sustainable English learning ecosystems in similar educational context.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating digital multiliteracy-based grammar instruction in enhancing EFL students' critical thinking skills within the context of Universitas Ma'arif Lampung (UMALA). Amid the rapid digital transformation and the unique values of Islamic education as embodied by UMALA's vision of being "Unggul, berwawasan global dan berkarakter Islam Ahlussunah Wal Jama'ah An Nahdliyah," traditional grammar teaching often remains teacher-centered and rule-focused, failing to foster higher-order thinking aligned with 21st-century demands. This quasi-experimental research employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design involving 64 EFL students from the Tadris Bahasa Inggris (TBI) program at UMALA. Quantitative data were gathered through pre- and post-tests using the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA) and a grammar proficiency test, analyzed using ANCOVA. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews (n=12), classroom observations, and student reflective journals were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills (F=21.56, p<0.001, η²=0.32) and grammar proficiency (F=17.23, p<0.001, η²=0.28) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Qualitative results identified four key themes: enhanced analytical reasoning, contextual grammar awareness, increased engagement in digital learning environments, and integration of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah values into critical literacy practices. This study contributes a novel pedagogical model that bridges digital multiliteracies with grammar instruction, offering practical implications for EFL educators in Islamic higher education seeking to cultivate critical thinking while preserving value-based learning environments rooted in the Nahdliyyin tradition.
