Abstract

This research was motivated by the learning to listen to English UHKBNP students during the Covid-19 pandemic which had not been carried out properly because students' understanding of listening skills was still lacking. The teaching and learning process during the pandemic was increasingly difficult for students to experience, resulting in disruption of the teaching and learning process. This also reduces the activeness of students in participating in listening lessons. The learning media used are also less effective, moreover the learning techniques used are still less varied. The purpose of this study was to analyze how effective the use of YouTube media was on the listening skills of UHKBNPP English students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used was quasi-experimental without a control class. The steps to be carried out in this research are; 1) Do a pre test; 2) Doing treatment using Youtube media; 3) Do a post test, then conclude. Based on the t test results, there was a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in listening ability. The experimental class that used YouTube media showed significant improvement compared to the control group. The conclusion from this study is that there is effectiveness of YouTube media in improving students' listening skills during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

The development of digital technology requires teachers to be able to integrate technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) into the learning process. However, many teachers still struggle to understand and apply TPACK optimally, resulting in suboptimal learning quality in the digital era. This community service activity aims to improve teachers' understanding and skills in implementing TPACK through socialization and structured training. The methods used include lectures, discussions, hands-on practice in developing TPACK-based lesson plans, as well as pretest and posttest evaluations. The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 11 Pematangsiantar in March-April 2025, involving teachers as active participants. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in teachers' understanding of TPACK concepts and practices, reflected in an average increase in pretest scores from 27.9% to 57.37% on the posttest. Teachers also became more confident in designing technology-based learning and effectively utilizing digital media. This activity demonstrated that TPACK socialization can strengthen teachers' competencies and improve the quality of learning in the digital age. Continuous support and further training are still needed to ensure optimal implementation of TPACK.

Abstract

English plays a vital role as a global language and an essential skill for academic and professional success. Among the four language skills, writing is the most challenging for Indonesian EFL learners, particularly in descriptive text production, due to limited vocabulary, grammatical difficulties, and lack of exposure to authentic English use. Traditional teaching methods often fail to provide adequate engagement and creativity, resulting in students’ low writing performance. To address these issues, this study investigated the effect of applying the Cooperative Learning method of the learning together model integrated with cartoon picture media from Pinterest on students’ descriptive writing ability at SMP Negeri 1 Siantar. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of 237 eighth-grade students, from which class VIII-4 was selected as the experimental group and class VIII-5 as the control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-test. The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental class, with the mean post-test score increasing from 39 to 80, compared to the control class which only rose from 46 to 59.2. The t-test result (7.722) exceeded the t-table value (1.677) at the 0.05 significance level, confirming that the treatment had a positive effect. It can be concluded that the integration of Cooperative Learning with cartoon picture media from Pinterest is effective in enhancing students’ descriptive writing ability. This method not only improved writing scores but also fostered greater motivation and active participation in the classroom.
