Abstract

This study explores the challenges and solutions in implementing the Jigsaw technique to improve reading comprehension among junior high school students through collaborative learning. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, student questionnaires, and field notes. The participants were purposively selected from a class identified as having significant difficulties in reading comprehension. The findings revealed that while the Jigsaw technique encouraged student engagement, motivation, and peer collaboration, its implementation was not without obstacles. Challenges included disparities in student participation, time constraints, uneven role distribution, and external factors such as socioeconomic differences. These issues often influenced students’ readiness and confidence during group activities. To address them, teachers employed strategies such as scaffolding materials, rotational role assignments, the use of multimedia tools, and adaptive pacing. Student feedback also highlighted the importance of pre-teaching key vocabulary, clear role expectations, and supportive group dynamics. The study concludes that the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique depends on thoughtful instructional design, sensitivity to learner diversity, and continuous teacher reflection. When applied adaptively, it not only enhances reading comprehension but also supports a more inclusive and student-centered learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how high school students view TikTok as a tool for enhancing their self-efficacy in learning English. Over the course of three weeks, 32 grade XI students from a Gresik public school participated in the study, which used a qualitative case study methodology. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and student video analysis were used to gather data. The findings demonstrated that TikTok usage greatly improved students' motivation to use English both within and outside of the classroom, as well as their engagement, speaking confidence, and comprehension of the subject matter through multimodal aspects (text, visual, and audio). Peer support and a collaborative classroom environment effectively maintained students' positive evaluations of TikTok as an effective learning medium, despite obstacles including early shyness and the digital gap. According to this study, TikTok can be a meaningful, entertaining, and contextualized learning tool for the current digital generation.

Abstract

The Role-play method is important to students’ growth in understanding real-life illustrations by pretending as someone else or some scenario. The study aimed to demonstrate whether the Role-play method affects students’ speaking achievement. The research was carried out in the SMP Raden Rahmat Wonokromo for seventh-year students in the academic year 2020/2021, which included 31 students. The data are collected using a few methods, including pre-tests and post-tests. To dissect the quantitative information, an expert used the highest and lowest scores, as well as means and standard deviations. According to the questionnaire results, the role-playing method can improve students’ speaking ability by 11.8%, while the traditional method is only 5.2%. The students are mainly shy to speak English, making them stutter or slower, but they are still enthusiastic about doing some Role-playing. There were differences between the pre-test and the post-test of about 72.5 and 84.3 in the experimental class, respectively. According to the calculation, the ttest is higher than the ttable, 4.304 > 1.697. In other words, the hypothesis alternative (Ha) has been accepted. The role-play practice could effectively show the students’ concern about their English-speaking achievements. It tends to be expressed that showing speaking using Role-play truly impacts students’ English-speaking achievement.
