Abstract

This study aims to investigate the sentence processing of deaf students at Sekolah Luar Biasa Negeri Gunungsitoli. Through qualitative methods with interviews and observations, the findings show that visualizations, such as pictures and physical objects, greatly help deaf students understand sentences. However, students have difficulty in understanding passive sentences and the concept of phrases. Teaching methods that emphasize visual aspects and individualization are recognized as important factors in improving students' comprehension. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of deaf students' barriers and needs in the learning process. Practical implications include the development of more adaptive teaching methods, while scientifically, this study supplements the knowledge of sentence processing strategies in deaf students. In conclusion, a better understanding of sentence processing by deaf students can contribute to the inclusive approaches in special education.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a complex process and is influenced by various factors such as environment, nutrition, and social interaction. This study aims to identify language acquisition barriers faced by sixth grade elementary school students in the community. Through qualitative research methods, observations, interviews and reading tasks were conducted with 30 children, fifteen of whom worked part-time after school, and fifteen of whom did not. Findings indicated a significant difference in language acquisition between the two groups, leading to the identification of eight factors that impede language development. These factors included lack of learning activities at home, excessive focus on work or non-academic activities, malnutrition, limited two-way interaction, lack of attention when communicating, excessive gadget use, and low self-confidence. Understanding these barriers provides insights for educators, parents and policy makers to create a supportive environment that encourages effective language development in children.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between teachers’ reinforcement skills and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types. The study examines how teachers can utilize the 16 MBTI personality types (e.g., INTJ, ENTP, ISFJ, ESFP) to support students in the classroom. The shift to Independent Curriculum, aimed at improving educational standards, presents new challenges and opportunities, particularly in English language teaching. Observations at UPTD SMPN 4 Gunungsitoli highlighted the need for creative reinforcement skills for 31 seventh-grade students in their developmental stages. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, data were collected through observations and interviews with English teachers to determine students’ MBTI profiles and analyze their reinforcement needs. Findings suggest that MBTI-based reinforcement, whether verbal, nonverbal, positive, or negative, can positively influence students’ personality and learning processes. The study concludes that MBTI can serve as a valuable tool for educators in tailoring reinforcement strategies to foster students’ character development and deeper learning.
