Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by an English teacher in teaching reading comprehension to first-grade students at SMAN 6 Palangka Raya in alignment with the Merdeka Curriculum. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The findings revealed that the teacher applied two main strategies: Digital and Multimodal Reading Strategy and Question Answer Relationship (QARs). The Digital and Multimodal Reading Strategy enhanced student engagement by integrating digital texts with images, audio, and video, allowing for deeper comprehension through multimodal input. Meanwhile, the QARs strategy guided students in identifying question types and locating answers, which fostered critical thinking and metacognitive awareness. Both strategies were found to be effective in increasing students’ motivation and understanding in reading activities. The study highlights the importance of adopting flexible and student-centered teaching approaches, especially those that align with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between students' emotions and motivation in relation to vocabulary acquisition in English as a Second Language (L2). Emotions are defined as psychological responses within individuals, while motivation refers to the internal or external drive that influences behavior. Both factors are recognized as key contributors to academic success, particularly in learning English vocabulary. The study involved 36 junior high school students (grades 7–9) at SMP Nusantara Palangka Raya. Data were collected using the DERS questionnaire to measure emotions, the MSLQ to assess motivation, and a vocabulary test to evaluate vocabulary acquisition. Regression and correlation analyses were used to determine the strength and direction of the relationships. The analysis showed no significant relationship between emotions (X1) and vocabulary acquisition (Y), with a regression coefficient of 28.900 and a t-value of 0.034, which was not statistically significant at α=0.05. This suggests that emotional factors may not strongly influence vocabulary outcomes in this sample. On the other hand, motivation (X2) showed a positive regression coefficient of 0.006 and a significant t-value of 2.034, indicating a meaningful relationship between motivation and vocabulary acquisition. The coefficient of determination (R²=0.114) suggests that only 11.4% of the variance in vocabulary acquisition can be explained by the two variables. The correlation coefficient (r=0.380) implies a moderate relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The findings highlight the role of motivation over emotion in vocabulary learning and suggest the need for further research. This study offers valuable insights for educators in developing effective English learning strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the strategies employed by private English tutors in Indonesia to enhance students' speaking skills, particularly in non-formal educational settings. English speaking proficiency is crucial for academic and professional success, yet many students face barriers such as anxiety, lack of confidence, and limited practice opportunities. The study aims to explore the methods used by private tutors to address these challenges and improve speaking competence. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five experienced private tutors in Palangka Raya. The findings reveal that tutors utilize communicative strategies such as role-playing, storytelling, task-based learning, and digital tools to foster student engagement and fluency. Additionally, tutors adapt their approaches to meet individual student needs, addressing psychological factors like anxiety and motivation. The study contributes to the understanding of private tutoring practices, emphasizing the importance of creativity and flexibility in non-formal English language instruction. The findings suggest the need for further recognition of private tutoring as an essential component of language education in Indonesia.
