Abstract

To effectively implement an independent curriculum, teachers must excel at engaging classroom management. This research aimed to identify challenges faced by English teachers in managing seventh-grade classes at UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsitoli and the factors contributing to these difficulties. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to gather data through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student surveys. The data were analyzed to pinpoint specific challenges and their underlying causes. English teachers encountered nine primary classroom management issues, including difficulties in creating conducive learning environments, concluding lessons, managing transitions, and interacting with parents. Teachers also struggled with fostering a positive classroom community and providing effective rewards. Additionally, challenges arose in monitoring student progress, organizing group work, and assessing student performance. Teacher interviews revealed that time constraints, academic priorities, and limited school resources were major factors contributing to these difficulties. This study indicates that time, academic workload, and insufficient school resources significantly hinder English teachers' ability to manage their classrooms effectively within the independent curriculum framework.

Abstract

The ability to speak is an expression of expressing opinions, thoughts and feelings in communicating and expressing oneself through interactions between people. Speaking is the basis for students to be confident in developing their potential in learning, especially learning English. This researcher aims to improve students' speaking skills by using video blog media. The method used in this research is the classroom action research method. The instrument of this research is the use of media through video blogs. The classroom action research carried out consisted of two cycles. Each cycle consists of 4 stages, namely planning, action, observation and reflection. The research results showed that in cycle I there were 26 students who achieved a score of less than 70 as the limit for complete understanding, while 4 students scored more than 70. The average score for students' speaking ability through video blogs was 54.33%. Meanwhile, in cycle II, 2 students got a score of less than 70, while 28 students got a score of more than 70. The average score for students' speaking ability through video blogs was 80.28%. After conducting classroom action research at Bunga Mawar Gunungsitoli Private Middle School, this provides an illustration that learning using media through video blogs has improved students' speaking skills, especially in class VII at Bunga Mawar Gunungsitoli.

Abstract

Writing is one of the ways people convey information and give their opinions on specific topics. As an indispensable part of language communication, writing becomes an essential skill that students must master. However, grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu have low narrative writing ability. Therefore, the researcher wants to improve students' ability to write narrative texts by conducting group discussions. The researcher used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method that included two cycles and four meetings to conduct her study. CAR processes include planning, action, observation, and reflection. The survey subject is class VIII-1 of SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu in 2022/2023 with 19 students. The researcher used observation sheets, assessment sheets, and field notes to collect data. From there, the researcher made some suggestions related to the research results, specifically: (1) In teaching writing, teachers first need to motivate students to create great motivation for learning English in general and writing fluently in English in particular; (2) SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu in English teachers should use group discussion method to improve students' ability to write narrative writing, especially fables; (3) Students need to be encouraged to use dictionaries in the process of learning English; (4) SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu English teachers must be able to apply appropriate writing teaching strategies to students. After conducting research by applying the Group Discussion strategy for two cycles and four meetings, this strategy was successfully implemented in class VIII-1 of SMP Negeri 2 Sirombu to obtain good results; there was an increase, as the researchers hoped.
