Abstract

Vocabulary plays a vital role in language acquisition, especially for students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL), as it significantly affects their comprehension, communication skills, and academic success. However, students in Islamic junior high schools encounter unique challenges due to their exposure to multiple languages and the integration of religious themes, which are often not addressed in current research. This research aims to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by students at MTs Muslimat NU Palangka Raya, along with the challenges they face. A mixed-methods approach was employed, gathering data through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The results indicate that cognitive and social strategies are the most commonly utilized, while challenges include difficulties with vocabulary retention, pronunciation issues, and language interference. The study concludes that integrating contextually and culturally relevant approaches into vocabulary teaching can improve student learning and retention, especially in religious educational contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by an English teacher in teaching reading comprehension to first-grade students at SMAN 6 Palangka Raya in alignment with the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The findings revealed that the teacher applied two main strategies: Digital and Multimodal Reading Strategy and Question Answer Relationship (QARs). The Digital and Multimodal Reading Strategy enhanced student engagement by integrating digital texts with images, audio, and video, allowing for deeper comprehension through multimodal input. Meanwhile, the QARs strategy guided students in identifying question types and locating answers, which fostered critical thinking and metacognitive awareness. Both strategies were found to be effective in increasing students’ motivation and understanding in reading activities. The study highlights the importance of adopting flexible and student-centered teaching approaches, especially those that align with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the relationship between academic writing culture and students' self-efficacy. Academic writing is a crucial skill in higher education, yet many students struggle to develop effective writing habits. Low interest, lack of academic support, and limited foundational writing skills are key factors affecting the students' self-efficacy in performing academic tasks. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational method. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 26 students who were actively engaged in academic writing. Data were collected through a Likert-scale closed questionnaire and analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between academic writing culture and self-efficacy. Main Findings: The results indicate a very strong relationship between academic writing culture and students' self-efficacy, with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.994. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 98.8% demonstrates that academic writing culture makes a significant contribution to improving students' self-efficacy, while other factors influence 1.2%. This finding suggests that fostering a strong academic writing culture enhances students' confidence in facing academic challenges. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides novel insights by highlighting the essential role of academic writing culture as a dominant factor influencing students' self-efficacy. While previous research has examined writing difficulties and self-efficacy separately, this study establishes a direct and strong correlation between them. The findings underscore the importance of institutional support in promoting academic writing habits that boost students' confidence and academic success.
