Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary mastery. A questionnaire was distributed to students of class VIII A, B, C and D of SMP Advent Airmadidi to determine the level of use of vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary mastery. To answer the research questions, descriptive mean analysis and Pearson Correlation Coefficient Correlation were used to answer the research questions. The research findings revealed that: (1) the level of students' vocabulary learning strategies was 3.41, indicating a moderate level; (2) the level of students' vocabulary mastery was 82.44 indicating good vocabulary mastery; and (3) the p value = 0.781, and r = 0.028, indicating that there was no significant correlation between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary mastery. The interpretation of the research findings shows that although there is no significant correlation between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary mastery, the use of various vocabulary learning strategies still contributes positively to students' vocabulary mastery. Therefore, teachers can expand the vocabulary learning strategies they use in the classroom, as well as provide more focused support to students in choosing and applying strategies that suit their individual learning strategies

Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic has a huge impact on human activities, including the education sector, especially the teaching and learning process. In the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, teaching and learning activities are still being carried out even though they are not carried out face-to-face but online. One alternative to support this online teaching and learning process is to use WA groups. The purpose of this study was to determine the activities and learning outcomes carried out through WA groups. This study also aims to determine the improvement and learning outcomes of students through group work. This research uses quantitative methods by collecting data through in-depth surveys. The survey used in this research is a google form conducted online. The results of this study show that students' activities and learning outcomes increase when the group work learning process is conducted through WA Group. WA Group is also beneficial for students, because it saves the use of internet quota. The disadvantage of using WA Group in the process of increasing student activity is that students are easily influenced by other chats that can distract students from the teaching and learning process. The conclusion of this study explains that increasing student learning activities and outcomes through WA Group is very effective because students can use various features that can be accessed through WA Group.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges EFL teachers face when designing listening assessment materials, with a focus on understanding these obstacles and identifying strategies to address them. The research aims to explore the alignment of assessment practices with student proficiency levels, resource accessibility, and the impact of time constraints on assessment quality. The study involves eight active English teachers from diverse educational institutions as participants. Data were collected using an online questionnaire designed to gather insights into teachers’ perspectives and strategies, guided by the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. This structured framework facilitated a comprehensive analysis of contextual needs, available resources, procedural approaches, and assessment outcomes. The data were analyzed descriptively using Google Forms, with key findings highlighting significant challenges in sourcing appropriate audio materials, ensuring inclusivity and validity, and managing time for creating bespoke assessments. Results revealed that while 50% of teachers successfully aligned assessments with student abilities, 25% faced difficulties in selecting suitable materials due to resource limitations. Teachers frequently relied on self-created or freely available online resources and employed pre-made tests due to time constraints. Despite these efforts, gaps in assessment literacy and resource access persisted. The study underscores the need for professional development programs to enhance language assessment literacy, improved access to diverse, high-quality audio materials, and systemic support to address these challenges. By addressing these issues, this research contributes to more effective listening assessment practices, fostering equitable and comprehensive EFL education.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether word wall media can enhance vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students in class 7D at SMP ADVENT UNKLAB AIRMADIDI during the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The research was conducted over two cycles using Classroom Action Research of the Kemmis and McTaggart design, which includes four phases: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants comprised 34 students (26 males and 8 females). Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to assess vocabulary mastery. The pre-test results showed that only 29% of students (10 students) met the minimum mastery criteria (MMC) score of 70. After implementing word wall media in Cycle 1, the post-test revealed a significant improvement, with 47% (16 students) achieving mastery. However, this still did not meet the success indicator of 80%. In Cycle 2, following further treatment, the post-test results improved dramatically to 88%, with 30 students achieving mastery. This indicates that the use of word wall media significantly enhances students' vocabulary mastery. The study recommends that English teachers incorporate word wall media into their instructional strategies to improve vocabulary outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the efficacy of project-based learning (PBL) in the context of English language teaching (ELT). The study seeks to identify the benefits and challenges associated with implementing PBL in language classrooms and explores its impact on language learning outcomes. A systematic literature review of relevant academic literature was conducted, focusing on studies published between 2010 and 2023. Peer-reviewed articles, books, and conference proceedings were analyzed to synthesize current findings on applying PBL in ELT settings. The review reveals that PBL promotes meaningful language use, fosters learner autonomy, and enhances communicative competence among language learners. Students engaged in PBL demonstrate improved motivation, collaboration skills, and critical thinking abilities. However, challenges such as time constraints, assessment issues, and instructor readiness were noted as potential barriers to effective PBL implementation. Based on the findings, recommendations include comprehensive teacher training in PBL methodologies, the development of appropriate assessment strategies that align with PBL objectives, and integration of PBL activities that cater to diverse learner needs. Future research should explore PBL's long-term impact on language proficiency and investigate effective strategies for overcoming implementation challenges.

Abstract

In response to the pedagogical shift toward more authentic and student-centered learning in higher education, this study investigates the integration of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in teaching academic writing to English education students in Indonesia. While PjBL has been recognized for fostering collaboration and critical thinking, limited research has explored how students behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively respond to its implementation in writing instruction. Addressing this gap, a qualitative case study was conducted involving twenty university students who participated in a semester-long PjBL-based writing course. Drawing on data from observations, interviews, and document analysis involving twenty English education students, this study reveals three key findings. Behaviorally, students demonstrated active participation, leadership, and collaborative responsibility, supported by structured peer roles and group accountability mechanisms, although a few exhibited passive involvements due to unequal workload distribution. Emotionally, most students experienced enthusiasm and a sense of accomplishment, particularly during topic selection and final submission, but some expressed anxiety related to public presentation and frustration over imbalanced team contributions. Cognitively, students showed marked improvements in brainstorming, organizing arguments, and revising drafts, guided by visual tools, feedback, and reflective journaling, which enhanced their critical thinking and writing cohesion. These findings highlight PjBL as a transformative pedagogy that fosters technical skills, autonomy, emotional resilience, and cognitive engagement. By offering an integrated view of students’ experiences, the study advocates for strategies that support collaboration, emotional support, and metacognitive awareness in academic writing, with broader implications for advancing student-centered learning in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of non-verbal communication in teacher-student interactions, focusing on its impact on learning, engagement, and classroom dynamics. Non-verbal communication, encompassing gestures, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact, is often an unspoken but powerful aspect of interpersonal communication in educational settings. The research methodology involved a literature review of existing studies and scholarly articles published over the last two decades, providing insights into how non-verbal cues influence the classroom environment. The findings highlight that non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in fostering effective teacher-student relationships, enhancing student engagement, and conveying emotions, intentions, and feedback that may not be expressed verbally. Key aspects such as teachers' use of positive body language, facial expressions, and non-verbal cues were found to significantly impact student motivation, comfort, and learning outcomes. Furthermore, the review identifies cultural differences in the interpretation of non-verbal signals and emphasizes the importance of teachers' awareness of these factors. Based on the findings, it is recommended that teacher training programs incorporate training on non-verbal communication skills to improve classroom interaction. Additionally, future research should explore the interaction between verbal and non-verbal cues in different educational contexts and across diverse cultural settings. In conclusion, non-verbal communication is an integral component of effective teacher-student interaction, shaping the educational experience in subtle but profound ways. Teachers who are attuned to non-verbal signals can create a more supportive and engaging learning environment, ultimately enhancing student learning outcomes.
