Abstract

Vocabulary is one of the aspects of language that has to be learned because it is important for daily activities and the classroom teaching and learning process, particularly in English classes. Despite this, many students may still struggle to learn a new word in English. The teacher must be more creative and innovative in implementing methods to make students feel comfortable learning English because there are many factors that must be achieved and it requires more concentration to master it. The approach employed in this research was quantitative, using a quasi-experimental design to compare two classes. The fourth graders in SDN 017 Marangkayu served as the samples. Class IV (A) and IV (B) were the samples of this research, with 14 students in the experimental class and 14 in the control class. Multiple-choice examinations served as the research instrument. The researcher utilized the SPSS version 21 program and the independent sample t-test formula to evaluate the data. This research used observation and documentation data collection techniques that have been tested for validity and reliability, and the data has met the requirements for normality and homogeneity. The researcher concluded that Total Physical Response (TPR) using storytelling was effective to improve student’s achievement in learning new vocabulary. The result of the data was obtained by giving pre-test and post-test to both groups, and the 2-tailed significance value was obtained at 0,08 < 0,05, which means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. So, this research shows that TPR using storytelling has a significant effect on teaching vocabulary to students.

As social beings who depend on the relationships of others, human needs communication. In social interactions, not least in education, language is primarily used as a tool. Individuals who experience language difficulties will have difficulty in conveying their thoughts or ideas to others.  As a result, communication becomes less than optimal and sometimes fails. In this case, communication is not just a matter of one-way message delivery, but also involves the exchange of mutually understood contexts so that two-way communication occurs. To get the context of communication and become a competent communicator, pragmatics is necessary and one of the crucial ideas in pragmatics is the concept of speech acts. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the illocutionary speech acts and knowing the most frequently used acts contained in Natasha Berg's speech about ChatGPT using Searle and Yule's theory.

Abstract

Mind mapping is an innovative learning strategy that emphasizes creativity and visual organization to enhance comprehension and retention. However, its effectiveness in improving vocabulary acquisition, particularly in a high school setting, requires further exploration. This study investigated the application of mind mapping in fostering English vocabulary acquisition among eleventh grade students at MA Darul Ihsan Samarinda. Using a quasi-experimental design, this quantitative study involved 43 students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through a pre-test and a post-test consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions. Statistical analysis, including the Mann-Whitney U test, revealed that the experimental group, taught using mind mapping, experienced a significant increase in mean score of 35.3 points, compared to 27.1 points in the control group. The findings underscore the potential of mind mapping to not only enhance vocabulary acquisition but also promote student engagement and creativity. This study advocates for the integration of mind mapping into English language teaching as an effective and practical pedagogical tool.
