Writing is a challenging skill for EFL learners, especially in developing ideas, organizing content, and applying appropriate vocabulary and grammar. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Four Square Writing Method in improving students’ writing ability in recount texts and to describe classroom conditions during its implementation.

The participants were 28 eighth-grade students of SMPN 18 Surakarta. Data were collected through writing tests, classroom observations, interviews, field notes, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Miles and Huberman’s (1994) interactive model. The findings showed that students’ mean scores increased from 63.78 in the pre-test to 68.78 in Post-test I and 77.25 in Post-test II.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ vocabulary acquisition through the use of YouTube educational videos and to identify changes in students’ involvement during the English vocabulary learning process. This research was motivated by students’ difficulties in recognizing, understanding, and memorizing vocabulary due to limited exposure to authentic language and the lack of engaging learning media. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages conducted in two cycles. The participants were 30 students of grade VIII C at one of the public junior high schools in Surakarta, Central Java. Data were collected through vocabulary tests, classroom observations, and questionnaires. The results showed an improvement in the average score from 62 in the pre-test to 71 in Cycle I and 83 in Cycle II. In addition, students’ involvement in the learning process also increased. Therefore, YouTube educational videos can be used as an effective supporting medium for teaching English vocabulary.
