Abstract

This research investigates the perspectives of English Education Department students at the University of HKBP Nommensen regarding cover letter writing within the English Correspondence course. Recognizing the importance of cover letters in professional communication and career development, the study aims to assess students' understanding, challenges, and confidence in mastering this skill. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, data were collected from 25 students through questionnaires and from 10 students through semi-structured interviews. Key findings reveal that while students acknowledge the relevance of cover letter writing to their future careers, they face challenges in organizing content, maintaining professionalism, and tailoring letters to specific job requirements. The research highlights the effectiveness of course materials but identifies a need for more interactive and practical teaching methods, such as workshops, peer reviews, and real-world applications. The findings offer actionable recommendations to enhance the teaching and learning process, ensuring students are better prepared for professional communication and the competitive job market.

Abstract

Group Teaching Activities Help Promote Active Learning Classroom teaching and learning activities can aid teaching, but the ability to teach through small group collaborative activities primarily facilitates active, active teaching activities. This study aims to determine the difference between students' English learning outcomes using the Expository method and students' English learning outcomes using the Think Pair Share (TPS) collaboration model. Samples were taken as many as 50 students from 2 groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. The research method used by the author is experimental. The sample collection technique used is a simple random sample collection technique. Hopefully the purpose of this research can be useful for students, teachers, schools, and especially researchers. The data analysis technique used is at a significant level = 0.05 tcount = 2.893 and ttable = 2.0252 It can be concluded that the number of students who apply "Think Pair Share" (TPS) is more than the number of students who learn through Exposure Learning.

Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of the Guided Question Technique in enhancing the writing ability of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Siantar during the 2025/2026 academic year. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. A total of 62 students were selected as the sample, divided into two groups: class VIII-2 as the experimental group, which was taught using the Guided Question Technique, and class VIII-1 as the control group, which received instruction through the conventional technique. Data collection was conducted by administering pre-tests and post-tests in recount text writing, and the results were analyzed using the t-test formula. The pre-test results revealed that the experimental group obtained an average score of 70.03, while the control group reached an average of 71.16. After the treatment, the post-test results indicated a significant improvement, with the experimental group achieving an average score of 79.90 compared to 74.94 for the control group. The data were gathered using a writing test as the primary research instrument. The t-test analysis generated a t-observed value of 3.551, which was greater than the t-table value of 1.671 at the 5% significance level. These findings demonstrated that the Guided Question Technique significantly improved students’ writing performance. Specifically, it enhanced their ability to organize ideas logically and to construct recount texts in accordance with the generic structure. Therefore, the Guided Question Technique can be regarded as an effective and practical instructional strategy to foster students’ writing competence in junior high school, offering teachers an engaging alternative to conventional technique.

Abstract

This research was conducted based on the phenomenon that students’ reading proficiency, especially in understanding recount texts, was still relatively low. Many students experienced difficulties in comprehending vocabulary, identifying main ideas, and understanding the sequence of events. This problem was influenced by the use of teacher-centered methods and the lack of interactive learning media, which made students less engaged in the learning process. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the use of the Wordwall application had a significant effect on students’ reading proficiency. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental class and a control class. The population consisted of eleventh-grade students at SMA Swasta Kampus Nommensen Pematangsiantar, with a total sample of 52 students selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was a reading test in the form of fill-in-the-blank questions administered through pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental class increased significantly from 38.07 in the pre-test to 86.73 in the post-test, while the control class only improved from 44.23 to 57.88. The t-test result (3.271) was higher than the t-table value (2.009), indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted. In conclusion, the Wordwall application is effective in improving students’ reading proficiency. It is recommended that teachers use Wordwall as an interactive learning medium, and future researchers are encouraged to apply it to other language skills.
