Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of using Magic Card as media on the ability of eighth-grade students in writing descriptive text at SMP Negeri 1 Siantar. This study applied a quasi-experimental research design involving two groups, namely an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was taught by using Magic Card media, while the control group was taught by using the conventional teaching method. The population of this research consisted of all eighth-grade students in the 2025/2026 academic year, and the sample was selected through purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 64 students divided into two classes: 32 students in the experimental group and 32 students in the control group. The instrument used in collecting the data was a writing test in the form of pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed by using an independent sample t-test. The findings showed that the mean score of the experimental group improved from 55.25 in the pre-test to 71.69 in the post-test, while the control group showed only slight improvement. The result of hypothesis testing revealed that the value of t-observed was 7.29, which was higher than the value of t-table 2.000 at the significance level of 0.05. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. In conclusion, the use of Magic Card media significantly improved students’ ability in writing descriptive text. Magic Card media also created a more interactive, enjoyable, and motivating learning atmosphere during the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), has transformed English language learning, including the development of students’ writing skills. ChatGPT, an AI-based language model, has increasingly been used as a writing assistant to help learners generate ideas, organize text structure, improve grammar, and expand vocabulary. This study aims to explore the perceptions of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 10 Pematangsiantar regarding the use of ChatGPT as a writing assistant in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, the study investigates students’ perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU), guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected through open-ended essay questionnaires distributed to 28 students who had received direct instructional exposure to ChatGPT through guided writing activities. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the majority of students hold positive perceptions of ChatGPT. In terms of PU, students reported that ChatGPT effectively supported idea generation, improved writing structure and grammar, expanded vocabulary, enhanced writing quality, and increased their confidence in writing English texts. ChatGPT was also perceived as helpful in overcoming writing difficulties and completing academic tasks more efficiently. Regarding PEOU, students stated that ChatGPT was easy to learn, accessible through mobile devices, and provided clear and understandable responses. Many students also felt comfortable using it independently without teacher supervision. Nevertheless, several challenges were noted, such as unstable internet connectivity and difficulties in formulating appropriate prompts. Overall, the results indicate that ChatGPT is well-accepted by students and has the potential to serve as an effective tool for supporting English writing instruction at the junior high school level. The study recommends guided and ethical integration of ChatGPT in EFL classrooms to prevent overreliance and promote critical engagement with AI-generated content.

Abstract

Writing is one of the essential skills in English learning, yet many students face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing arguments, and applying appropriate linguistic features when composing analytical exposition texts. This study aims to investigate the effect of scaffolding techniques on the writing ability of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Siantar. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental class taught using scaffolding techniques and a control class taught using conventional methods. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test to measure their writing performance. The findings show that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement, with the mean score increasing from 50.50 to 82.74, while the control group increased from 50.71 to 72.12. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test revealed a significant difference between the two groups, with Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000, indicating that scaffolding had a positive and statistically significant effect. These results suggest that scaffolding through modeling, guided practice, feedback, and gradual release helps students better understand text structure, develop ideas, and apply appropriate language features. Therefore, scaffolding techniques are effective in enhancing students’ writing ability, particularly in composing analytical exposition texts.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze students’ reading comprehension ability and the difficulties they encounter in learning English. According to Sugiyono (2011: 55), a qualitative research method is a research method based on the philosophy of post-positivism, used to research natural object conditions (as opposed to experiments) where the researcher is the key instrument, data source sampling is carried out purposively and snowball, data collection techniques with triangulation (combination), data analysis is inductive or qualitative, and qualitative research results emphasize meaning more than generalization. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method involving 30 eighth-grade students as respondents. Data were collected through observation and interviews to obtain a detailed understanding of students’ reading performance. The results indicate that students’ reading comprehension ability is divided into three levels: low, middle, and high. Among the participants, 15 students (50%) are categorized as low, 8 students (26.7%) as middle, and 7 students (23.3%) as high. These findings suggest that the majority of students still face difficulties in understanding the content and meaning of English narrative texts. The study highlights the importance of using effective learning media and teaching strategies to enhance students’ English reading comprehension.

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.
