Abstract

This study seeks to enhance students' speaking abilities through small group discussions. Many students face challenges in speaking English due to a lack of confidence and practice, while teachers often overlook engaging strategies that motivate students to participate. To address this, the researcher employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consisted of two cycles, each comprising two meetings focused on planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations, field notes, and evaluation sheets. The findings revealed significant improvement in each cycle, thanks to the grouping technique. In the first cycle, the average student score was 51, with many students not meeting the minimum competency standards (KKM). By the second cycle, however, all students successfully passed, achieving an average score of 79. The researcher concluded that small group discussions are an effective way to boost students' speaking ability. It is recommended that both students and teachers adopt this technique to further improve their speaking abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to determine and describe the learning process in the Paket B education program and the differences between Junior High School and the Paket B education program. This research was conducted at PKBMs that implement the Paket B Program in Gunungsitoli City, consisting of PKBM Ziona, PKBM Pelita Bangsa, PKBM Kreasi, and PKBM Perjuangan. The research method used was a qualitative descriptive approach. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the learning process in Paket B consists of 3 types, namely, Independent, Tutorial, and Face-to-Face, and there are differences in the learning process between SMP and Paket B in Gunungsitoli city, such as the characteristics of students, facilities and resources, learning schedules, teaching methods, and examinations carried out. In addition, there are also similarities between these two institutions, such as the curriculum used, which is the national curriculum, and the diploma issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture, which means that Paket B is recognized and has the exact legality of junior high school. The learning process in junior high school tends to be more structured and formal, while in Paket B, it is more flexible and individualized to suit the students. Efforts are needed to integrate the advantages of each learning system to create a more effective learning environment for all learners in each education unit.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the basic skills in learnng English that enables students to convey ideas and communicate effectively. However, many students still face difficulties in speaking due to various factors, such as lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This research aims to analyze students' perceptions and the factors affecting their difficulties in speaking English. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of SMP Swasta Kristen BNKP Gunungsitoli with 18 students as participants. The findings revealed that students experienced various difficulties in speaking English, which were categorized into psychological problems (such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, lack of pronounciation, and lack of vocabulary), language problems (including inhibition, nothing to say, low and uneven participation and the tendency to use mother tongue), and other influencing factors (such as physical condition, intelligence, aptitude, and interest). Most students showed lack of confidence and anxiety when speaking English, which led to limited participation during English class. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to develop more effective and student-centered teaching strategies, and to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to speak actively in English.

Abstract

Critical thinking is the ability to objectively assess information to reach logical conclusions. In the 21st century, this skill is essential for students to face global challenges. This study analyzed the representation of critical thinking indicators in the "Work in Progress" English textbook for Grade X used at SMK Swasta Pembda Nias. A qualitative content analysis method was applied, with data collected through documentation and analyzed in five stages: familiarization, coding, reduction, interpretation, and representation. The findings revealed that the three indicators of critical thinking from the Profil Pelajar Pancasila were present: acquiring and processing information (25%), analyzing and evaluating reasoning (52%), and reflecting on one own thinking (23%). The second indicator was most dominant. Additionally, implicit meaning delivery (52%) appeared slightly more frequently than explicit (48%). These results indicate that the textbook sufficiently supports the development of students critical thinking skills in line with the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.
