Abstract

This study aims to analyze classroom management problems in teaching English speaking skills at SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli Idanoi in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Gunungsitoli Idanoi, Gunungsitoli City, North Sumatra, from July to August 2025. The population of this study consisted of eighth-grade students, with one English teacher and 20 students selected as research participants. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected using observation checklists, semi-structured interviews, and documentation to obtain comprehensive information related to classroom management practices. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results of the study revealed that classroom management in teaching English speaking skills had not been implemented optimally. Several classroom management indicators, such as effective time management, disciplinary control, the use of instructional media, and group or pair management, were not consistently applied during speaking activities. These conditions resulted in a noisy classroom atmosphere and uneven student participation. The main factors influencing these problems included students’ low motivation and interest, differences in language proficiency levels, limited school facilities, lack of teaching media, and teachers’ difficulties in managing time and maintaining classroom discipline. In conclusion, effective classroom management plays a crucial role in supporting the success of English speaking instruction. Therefore, English teachers are expected to improve classroom discipline, utilize technology-based learning media, and manage instructional time more efficiently to enhance students’ speaking performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social interaction between English teachers and the principal in the implementation of the Subject Teachers’ Meeting (MGMP) and its impact on teacher professional development. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Tuhemberua, North Nias Regency, from January to March 2025. The population of this study consisted of the school principal and English teachers who actively participated in MGMP activities, and all participants were involved as research subjects. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique used was qualitative inductive analysis, which included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation to ensure data validity. The results indicate that social interaction between English teachers and the principal occurred through several forms, namely supervision, coordination, collaboration, facilitation, and motivation. These interactions generally functioned well and contributed positively to teacher professionalism, work motivation, and the implementation of instructional innovations in English language learning. However, several obstacles were identified, including limited time availability of the principal, insufficient facilities and budget support, and the absence of formal reward mechanisms for active teacher participation in MGMP activities. Despite these constraints, the interaction within the MGMP had a positive impact on strengthening teacher collaboration, improving instructional practices, and enhancing the quality of learning at school. This study is expected to contribute theoretically to studies on educational leadership and teacher professional communities, as well as practically to schools in optimizing the role of principals and MGMP as effective platforms for teacher professional development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between teachers' teaching styles and students' learning motivation in English learning. The study was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Afulu in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employed a quantitative research approach with a survey design to examine the relationship between teachers' teaching styles and students' learning motivation in English learning. A quantitative approach was chosen because the data were obtained in numerical form through questionnaires and aimed to examine the relationship between variables using statistical procedures. The study population was all 112 eighth-grade students, while the study sample consisted of one eighth-grade class with 28 students and was selected using a cluster sampling technique. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 25 items to measure teachers' teaching styles and 25 items to measure students' English learning motivation using a four-level Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and Microsoft Excel. Inferential analysis used rank-order correlation (Spearman) to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results of the study showed a strong positive relationship between teacher teaching style and student learning motivation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.886 and a significance level of 0.000. This finding indicates that students who have a positive perception of their teacher's teaching style tend to demonstrate higher English learning motivation. Therefore, it can be concluded that teacher teaching style is closely related to student learning motivation in English learning.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the utilization of YouTube videos in English language learning and their impact on the development of students’ speaking skills amid the increasing use of digital media as learning resources. The integration of technology in language learning has become an important strategy to provide authentic materials and enhance students’ engagement in the learning process. This study employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. The data were analyzed descriptively to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the practice of using YouTube videos in English language instruction. The findings indicate that the use of YouTube videos enhances students’ learning motivation and provides more authentic language exposure through examples of pronunciation, intonation, and expressions in real communication contexts. In addition, video-based learning creates greater opportunities for students to actively practice speaking through discussions, imitation activities, and content-based presentations. However, the study also identified several challenges, including limited internet access, variations in content quality, and potential distractions from other features on the digital platform. In synthesis, these findings confirm that YouTube videos are effective in supporting the development of speaking skills when they are integrated in a planned, selective, and pedagogically sound manner within English language teaching strategies. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan video YouTube dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris serta dampaknya terhadap pengembangan keterampilan berbicara siswa di tengah meningkatnya penggunaan media digital sebagai sumber belajar. Integrasi teknologi dalam pembelajaran bahasa menjadi strategi penting untuk menghadirkan materi yang autentik dan meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa dalam proses belajar. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi pembelajaran, wawancara dengan guru dan siswa, serta analisis dokumen pembelajaran. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk memperoleh gambaran komprehensif mengenai praktik penggunaan video YouTube dalam pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan video YouTube meningkatkan motivasi belajar serta memberikan paparan bahasa yang lebih autentik melalui contoh pelafalan, intonasi, dan ekspresi dalam konteks komunikasi nyata. Selain itu, penggunaan video membuka peluang bagi siswa untuk berlatih berbicara secara aktif melalui diskusi, imitasi, dan presentasi berbasis konten. Namun, penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi kendala berupa keterbatasan akses internet, variasi kualitas konten, dan potensi distraksi dari fitur lain pada platform digital. Secara sintesis, temuan ini menegaskan bahwa video YouTube efektif dalam mendukung pengembangan keterampilan berbicara apabila diintegrasikan secara terencana, selektif, dan pedagogis dalam strategi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris.
