Abstract

The students’ less interest and motivation in learning vocabulary caused their poor vocabulary mastery. Therefore, the researchers were interested in conducting a pre-experimental study to know whether running dictation strategy was effective for teaching vocabulary. The population of this study was all the students of class VIII of MTs. Bahrul Ulum Genukwatu, Jombang. Then, the sample was 30 students of class VIII A. The instruments used to collect the data were pre- test and post-test of vocabulary. The students got the pre-test before the treatment conducted and the post-test after the treatment. After all the data from the pre-test and post-test were collected, the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test were calculated. It was followed by a paired-sample t- test calculation because their mean scores were different. The results showed that the mean score in the pre-test was 57 and the mean score of the post-test was 78. The sig. (2-tailed) score of the paired-sample t-test was 0.000. It means that the implementation of running dictation strategy was effective for teaching vocabulary. Thus, it is hoped that the results of this study can become a reference for the EFL teachers when teaching vocabulary.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze students’ writing anxiety at class XI N of MAN 4 Jombang in the academic year of 2024/2025. It focuses on identifying the levels, and the most dominant type of writing anxiety, and the alleviating strategies used by students to reduce their anxiety. The study applied a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from questionnaires using the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI) and qualitative data from student interviews. The results showed that the majority of students (67.85%) experienced moderate levels of writing anxiety. Cognitive anxiety was identified as the most dominant type, experienced by 16 out of 28 students (57.14%). Despite these challenges, the interview results showed that the students were able to manage their anxiety through several strategies, such as accepting feedback and mistakes, practicing trough media, asking for help when stuck, practice writing with time management. The findings suggest that while most students are not free from anxiety, they are still able to perform writing tasks with effort and support. These results highlight the importance of both student self-awareness and teacher guidance in managing writing anxiety.

Abstract

Guru yang professional adalah guru yang mampu meningkatkan kompetensinya, salah satu cara yaitu dengan meningkatkan kreatifitas dalam membuat media ajar yang interaktif untuk menunjang keberhasilan proses belajar mengajar. Dengan media ajar yang menarik, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa sehingga dapat memperoleh hasil pembelajaran yang lebih baik. Akan tetapi, tidak semua guru familiar dengan media ajar berbasis ICT. Guru di SDN 2DJ (Nama sekolah disamarkan untuk alasan konfidensial) misalnya, masih banyak yang belum bisa membuat media ajar berbasis ICT. Salah satu penyebabnya dikarenakan kurangnya pelatihan atau workshop yang diikuti oleh para guru. Maka dari itu tujuan dari program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini yaitu untuk memberikan pelatihan atau workshop serta pendampingan membuat media ajar interaktif berbasis powerpoint kepada guru di SDN 2DJ Jombang. Sedangkan, luaran dari program ini adalah guru bisa membuat media ajar interaktif berbasis powerpoint dan menerapkannya dalam pembelajaran di kelas sehingga siswa mendapat hasil belajar yang maksimal.

Abstract

Language is the ability to communicate with others, encompassing various forms such as verbal, written, gestures, numbers, drawings, and facial expressions. It allows people to express thoughts, feelings, and ideas using symbols. Effective communication requires language skills, which are essential for humans to connect with one another. Language is a key factor that distinguishes humans from animals, enabling individuals to understand themselves, others, and their surroundings. Through language, people can share their thoughts, preferences, and ideas. In Kasreman village, Kanangan subdistrict, Kediri district, many children cannot communicate well, which is due to a lack of interaction between parents and children. Based on this, it inspired the PKM team consisting of UNHASY lecturers and students to carry out PKM with the title "Outreach for Parents About the Importance of Language Learning for Early Childhood in Kasreman Village, Kandangan, Kediri." This activity aims to equip parents so they can apply it in everyday life.

Abstract

In an effort to implement the Independent Curriculum, English teachers face a major challenge in creating creative and innovative teaching materials. The Independent Curriculum gives teachers the freedom to determine teaching methods and teaching materials that suit students' needs, but this also requires high creativity from teachers (Kemendikbud, 2021). Many teachers are still trapped in conventional teaching patterns and find it difficult to develop interesting and interactive materials (Putri, 2023). In this training, a program was implemented in the form of training to increase knowledge and insight related to physical visual teaching materials. Therefore, the approach methods used are presentations, lectures, practice, questions and answers, discussions, simulations, and pair or group work. The results of this training are that English teachers at the MGMP MAN Kab Jombang level are able to create innovative and contemporary media teaching materials to increase students' learning motivation in class.
