Abstract

Adequate vocabulary mastery is a fundamental requirement for successful English language learning, as emphasized in the Merdeka Curriculum. However, many junior high school students still exhibit low vocabulary proficiency due to the use of monotonous and teacher-centered conventional teaching methods. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of flashcard-based instruction in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Palu. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group of 32 students and a control group of 32 students, selected via simple random sampling. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction using flashcards, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests focusing on students’ mastery of nouns and verbs. The results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery among students taught with flashcards compared to those taught through conventional instruction. The mean post-test score of the experimental group was 85, which was higher than the control group’s mean score of 68. Statistical analysis using SPSS version 27 showed a significance value (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, which was lower than the 0.05 significance level. These findings indicate that flashcard-based instruction has a positive and significant effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. In conclusion, the study suggests that flashcards are an effective instructional medium for improving students’ vocabulary learning, increasing motivation, and supporting retention, particularly within the Merdeka Curriculum’s emphasis on contextual and everyday-life learning. Therefore, English teachers are encouraged to integrate flashcards into vocabulary instruction to create more engaging and effective learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) method is effective in improving the reading comprehension of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah. This study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups: the experimental group (VIII D) and the control group (VIII A). Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test of the same type, consisting of multiple-choice, true/false, and detail questions that focused on literal understanding of the narrative text. The experimental group received the SSR method for six sessions, while the control group learned using the conventional method. The results showed a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension after the implementation of SSR. The average pre-test score of the experimental group increased from 44.64 to 74.68 in the post-test, while the control group increased from 42.71 to 63.46. The results of the t-test analysis showed that the t-counted value (3.82) was greater than the t-table value (1.675) at the 0.05 significance level, indicating that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Thus, the application of the Sustained Silent Reading method has proven effective in improving the reading comprehension of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Banawa Tengah.

Abstract

Many junior high school students experience difficulty actively using English vocabulary in authentic communication, and their level of learning motivation may contribute to this difficulty. This study aimed to examine the correlation between English learning motivation and daily vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Palu. A quantitative correlational research design was employed. The population consisted of 131 students, and 50 students were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative, and instrumental motivation, and a 20-item multiple-choice test assessing daily vocabulary mastery. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation analysis due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed that students’ motivation was generally high (M = 77.04), and their daily vocabulary mastery was at a good level (M = 74.20). A very strong, statistically significant positive correlation was found between the two variables (r = 0.876, p < 0.01). These findings indicate that higher motivation is strongly associated with better daily vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Rural EFL students at SMPN 2 Labobo face difficulties in mastering English vocabulary because the learning process is often boring and relies on traditional, teacher-centred methods. resulting in frequent word retention problems, inaccurate usage, and low motivation in learning English. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the effect of game-based learning using Wordwall on improving English vocabulary mastery of eighth-grade students at SMPN 2 Labobo. The research employed a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, involving 19 students. The intervention consisted of six meetings using interactive Wordwall activities, including matching pairs, quizzes, word searches, sentence building, and categorisation, focusing on nouns, verbs, and adjectives in context. Vocabulary mastery was assessed via written tests evaluating grammatical accuracy, appropriate vocabulary use, and sentence clarity. Data from the pre-test and post-test were analysed using a paired-samples t-test. The results showed a significant improvement, with pre-test mean scores rising from 36.63 to 72.16 post-test, a gain of 35.53 points, and a paired t-test confirming statistical significance, t = -10.809, p = 0.000. These findings highlight that Wordwall's strategy is effective in enhancing engagement and retention in a rural school context, offering pedagogical implications for integrating digital tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction.
