Abstract

Abstract This study aims at earmarking some related issues regarding the teaching of English language to francophone pupils by francophone teachers. As regard the theoretical framework, the connectionism, acculturation and teaching-learning theories was used. The methodology in this study is the quantitative and qualitative approach and the random sampling technique is used in the selection of the population under study. The research instruments that are used are the interview and observation. The instruments were administered taking into consideration the pronunciation of sounds (phonology) pluralisation of nouns, sentence construction, the use of articles and tenses (morpho-syntax). A total of 73 teachers from six primary schools were interviewed and observed. The frequency distribution technique is used for analyzing data. Analyzing the data collected proves that the francophone teachers have difficulties in pronouncing some sounds in the English language. The teachers equally have difficulties in putting some nouns in their plural forms, constructing of sentences and correct use of articles and tenses. From the findings, the researcher made some recommendations. That a solid foundation should be laid during the initial training on the teaching of the English language. Secondly, in-service training should be encouraged for teachers already in the field. The researcher also suggested that Pedagogic Inspectors in charge of bilingualism should organize regular pedagogic seminar on English language for the francophone teachers.

Abstract

English has become a global language that plays a crucial role in international communication. Vocabulary mastery is one of the fundamental aspects of English learning because it enables students to comprehend texts and communicate effectively in both spoken and written forms. Despite its importance, many junior high school students continue to experience difficulties in acquiring English vocabulary due to conventional and less engaging teaching methods. This study aims to explore the implementation of the Fun English Activity–Pictionary strategy to enhance students’ vocabulary mastery at SMP IT Imam Syafii Cendikia Pekanbaru. A qualitative research approach was employed to examine classroom learning activities and students’ responses throughout the instructional process. The findings indicate that students demonstrated improved vocabulary mastery after participating in Pictionary-based learning activities. The interactive and enjoyable nature of the strategy encouraged active classroom participation and increased students’ motivation to learn English. Therefore, Fun English Activity–Pictionary can be considered an effective instructional strategy for improving vocabulary learning among junior high school students.
