Abstract

Vocabulary plays a crucial role in English language learning. Hence, students should have certain strategies to obtain sufficient vocabularies to facilitate their language learning. Word-learning strategies are ones that students can use to help them learn vocabularies more optimally. Therefore, this study aims to identify students’ word-learning strategies and the obstacles they encounter during project-based learning activities. A case study method was employed to obtain the data using an in-depth interview and direct observation in the classroom. Six students and one English teacher were involved as research participants. The results identify that students use several word-learning strategies during the project-based learning activities. The strategies are definition; asking for word meaning to the teacher or looking up a dictionary, inference; inferring the word meaning from teacher’s explanation, and association; understanding the word from context. Besides, the obstacles that students often encounter are related to lack of time during the learning activities and difficulty in remembering newly found vocabularies. Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to improve students’ language learning quality. In addition, further research related to the above-mentioned word-learning strategies are highly recommended to examine its effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of zoning-based language rules in SMPIT Hidayatul Qur’an Boarding School and explore language use strategies implemented by the students. This study is a case study, and the data are collected using interview and observation. The participants are one English teacher and five students with the criteria of having good English score. The results can be concluded in two points, namely: 1) The zoning-based language rules are adapted from Darussalam Gontor Modern Islamic Boarding School. Some zones that are mandatory for formal language are public places such as dormitory, kitchen, mosque, canteen, and school area. However, the use of the formal language in the school area only when outside of school hours. Then, not all students are required to follow this rule because grade 7 students who have just entered SMPIT HQBS need to get used to the rules first. 2) About language use strategies from the students, it is found that they only use retrieval, rehearsal, and communication strategies. They use retrieval strategies to recall their memory of vocabularies, they use rehearsal strategies to practice the use of certain language structures, and they use communication strategies to create meaningful communication through several ways such as through writing, using body language, or mixing formal and informal language. They don’t use coping strategies because they cannot cope with their lack of language knowledge by themselves.

In case of extensive reading context, reading comprehension can be facilitated through various strategies or activities, and one of them is summarizing activities. This study aims to scrutinize the summarizing activities performed by students to reinforce their reading comprehension of extensive reading projects in college. An interview study was employed as the research method by involving three English department students and one extensive reading lecturer as the research participants. Open-ended questions were used to guide the data collection process, and the data were further analyzed qualitatively. The results informed that students did the summarizing activities through several stages, such as dividing the book into several pages to be distributed to all group members, reading their respective pages, doing a focus group discussion (FGD) to discuss their readings, and making a comprehensive summary to be presented in front of the class. These activities were confirmed to facilitate the students in establishing better reading comprehension. In spite of that, any other activities to reinforce reading comprehension still need further investigation to provide several alternative options for use in more specific contexts.
