Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the English extracurricular program in relation to students' speaking ability at Diniyyah Pasia Boarding School. This research applies a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interview the students grade 10th and a mentor, observations of extracurricular activities, as well as documentation. This study finds that the English extracurricular program runs regularly with a structured schedule, yet its effectiveness in improving students' speaking skills is hindered by limited variety in teaching methods, lack of supporting media like audiovisual tools, activities (such as public speaking and conversation) misaligned with students' interests and levels, and time constraints preventing equal speaking opportunities. While regular participation boosts confidence in some students, innovations in teaching approaches, integration of learning media, and tailored activity content are recommended for greater impact.

Abstract

This research investigated the correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. It was motivated by several issues identified among students, such as difficulties in expressing ideas effectively, inconsistencies in writing styles possibly influenced by different levels of language exposure, and a lack of familiarity with proper writing structures. The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between students’ language exposure and their writing ability among eighth-grade students. A correlational research design was employed in this research. The population consisted of 80 eighth-grade students, and total sampling was used to include all participants. The instruments used were a questionnaire and a writing test. The questionnaire contained 23 items to measure students’ language exposure, while the writing test required students to write a recount text based on one of four given topics. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation through SPSS. The findings revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.755, indicating a strong and positive relationship between students’ language exposure and their writing ability. The results suggest that greater exposure to the English language significantly contributes to the improvement of students’ writing ability. It can be concluded that enhancing students’ engagement with English through various forms of exposure plays an important role in developing their writing proficiency.

Abstract

This study aim to analyze students’ problems in listening comprehension at the third semester of the English Education Department of UIN Sjech M. Djamil Djambek Bukittinggi. This research employed a qualitative exploratory design. The informants were three lecturers and eight students selected through purposive sampling based on their listening scores. The data were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis based on Hamouda’s framework. The findings showed that students experienced five major problems: listening material, linguistic features, failure to concentrate, psychological characteristics, and listener factors. Among these, listening material became the most dominant factor, particularly related to long audio duration and unfamiliar topics. Students reported losing concentration when the audio exceeded two to three minutes and encountering difficulty understanding unfamiliar topics such as historical and scientific content. In addition, limited vocabulary significantly hindered comprehension, causing students to miss key information. Psychological factors such as anxiety and lack of confidence also reduced students’ performance. These findings indicate that students’ listening difficulties were influenced by interconnected internal and external factors. Therefore, lecturers are encouraged to provide appropriate materials, improve vocabulary instruction, and create a supportive learning environment to enhance students’ listening comprehension.

Abstract

This study investigated the EFL speaking needs of Grade 7 students at SMPN 3 Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, Indonesia, using Hutchinson and Waters’ (1987) tripartite needs analysis framework. A mixed-method design was employed, combining a 25-items Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 31 students with a semi-structured interview conducted with their English teacher. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data was analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-phase procedure. The findings revealed that curricular necessities under Kurikulum Merdeka prioritized communicative fluency and meaning-focused oral production. The most critical lack was students’ inability to speak without script (M = 2,47), compounded by performance anxiety related to fear of making mistakes (M = 3,43). Students’ highest-ranked instructional wants were teacher modeling (M = 4,13) and game-based activities (M = 4,03), both of which aligned positively with identified curricular necessities. These findings suggest that students’ wants functions as targeted responses to specific lacks, serving as a conceptual bridge towards meeting curricular necessities. Findings are expected to inform a speaking syllabus design that is curriculum-complaint, learner-responsive, and culturally grounded

Abstract

This study explores how a Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta is interpreted and enacted in Islamic primary education at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, the research examined the lived experiences of school actors in planning, implementing, and evaluating a curriculum that humanizes learners while maintaining strong Islamic values. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on 1 June 2026 with the principal, curriculum coordinator, six teachers, four students, and three parents. The interview data were complemented by classroom observations, school-environment observations, and document analysis of teaching modules, assessment records, and student portfolios. Data were analyzed through horizonalization, meaning-unit clustering, thematic synthesis, and interpretive reflection. The findings show that the Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta was experienced through four interrelated dimensions: i) curriculum meaning as rahmah-centered humanization, ii) compassionate and differentiated classroom practice, iii) dialogic and formative assessment, and iv) a school ecology that prioritizes dignity, safety, and spiritual growth. Participants described that students were given voice, guided through respectful discipline, and supported according to learning readiness and socio-emotional needs. At the same time, implementation was constrained by documentation burden, uneven teacher capacity in differentiated instruction, limited learning resources, and some parents’ continuing preference for examination-oriented indicators. The essence of the experience indicates that a Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta in a madrasah context is not merely a soft pedagogical style; it is an institutional ethic of care that integrates adab, academic growth, and learner well-being. The study recommends sustained teacher mentoring, stronger parent-school dialogue, and assessment designs that better connect cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual outcomes.
