Abstract

The development of technology affects the education sector in urban and rural areas. Teachers-students in rural areas find it difficult to apply it for some reasons. Therefore, teachers must be more creative and innovative in the learning-teaching process besides using technology, such as pictures. This research describes students' ability to write simple English sentences using pictures. The type of this research is descriptive quantitative. The respondents were tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 29 Halmahera Selatan, which consisted of 13 males and seven females. The data were collected through an English simple sentence test consisting of 4 pictures. Each student wrote five sentences in a picture. This research showed that the mean score of students' ability to write simple English sentences using pictures is 2.95, referring to the good category. This research recommends that future research investigate the effectiveness of pictures as media used in rural and urban areas' learning-teaching process.

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak throughout the world forced the government of Indonesia to shift academic programs into online mode. The objectives of this study are to describe the teachers' strategies for teaching narrative writing during the COVID-19 outbreak and to find out the teachers' reasons to choose the strategies. Therefore, a qualitative research design was applied and the data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and online observation. Two exemplary teachers were involved as the respondents in the present study. Data coding was conducted to analyze the data gained from those research instruments. The findings revealed that the first respondent (JY) used cooperative learning, group discussion, and translation as her strategies in teaching English narrative writing text. Meanwhile, the second respondent (RN) used guided questions, cooperative learning, and translation as her strategies for teaching English narrative text during the pandemic. The findings showed that the first respondent (JY) utilized those strategies to increase students' participation, enhance students' vocabulary mastery, and developed student writing ability. Meanwhile, the second respondent (RN) utilized the aforementioned strategies to enrich students' vocabulary mastery, and improve students sentence structure.
