Abstract

This study aims to investigate students’ competence in using transitive and intransitive verbs in simple English sentences and to identify the types of errors commonly made by students. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed, using multiple-choice and essay tests as research instruments. The participants were 30 third-semester students of Class A from the English Language Education Study Program, Khairun University. The findings revealed that the average student score was 69.17, which falls within the “Enough” or medium competence category. The results also indicated that students demonstrated better mastery of transitive verbs compared to intransitive verbs. The most frequent errors involved the use of inappropriate objects after intransitive verbs and confusion in distinguishing verbs that can function as both transitive and intransitive. A comparative analysis between the two test formats showed that students performed better in essay tests than in multiple-choice tests, with 63.3% of students achieving a “Very Good” category in applying verbs in contextual sentences. These findings highlight the need for focused instructional strategies to enhance grammatical competence, particularly in understanding and applying verb types accurately in sentence construction. The study contributes to the broader understanding of English grammar acquisition among EFL learners and provides insights for curriculum improvement in language education programs.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions and ethical use of ChatGPT in completing English assignments. The research employed an explanatory sequential mixed-method design that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches. The participants were 68 students from the English Education Study Program at Khairun University, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively to enrich the quantitative findings. The results showed that students generally had positive perceptions of ChatGPT, with an overall mean score of 3.66 across seven dimensions: input, process, output, outcome, efficiency, academic ethics, and satisfaction. Students considered ChatGPT a useful learning tool, mainly for searching references and generating ideas. They reported that ChatGPT improved grammar, expanded vocabulary, enhanced assignment quality, and increased motivation and critical thinking. Participants also valued its efficiency in saving time and facilitating task completion. Furthermore, they demonstrated ethical awareness by reviewing, revising, and paraphrasing AI-generated content and recognizing the risk of overreliance. Overall, ChatGPT can serve as an effective learning support tool when used critically, ethically, and responsibly in higher education, particularly for English language learning in Eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains one of the most challenging skills for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly at the junior high school level. This study aimed to identify the reading comprehension challenges faced by ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Kota Ternate and to investigate the factors contributing to those challenges. The study employed a descriptive research design involving 34 students of class IX-1. Data were collected through a reading comprehension test consisting of five reading aspects, namely identifying main ideas, identifying references, making inferences, finding detailed information, and interpreting vocabulary. A questionnaire was also administered to identify linguistic and non-linguistic factors affecting students’ reading comprehension. The findings revealed that the students experienced substantial difficulties in reading comprehension, with an average score of 39.85, categorized as very poor. Among the five aspects assessed, vocabulary was identified as the most difficult aspect, followed by references and main ideas. The questionnaire results indicated that limited vocabulary mastery, insufficient grammar knowledge, lack of effective reading strategies, low motivation, limited background knowledge, and poor reading habits contributed to students’ difficulties. These findings suggest that reading instruction should focus not only on improving linguistic competence but also on developing reading strategies and motivation. More contextualized and interactive reading activities are recommended to support students’ reading comprehension development.

Abstract

In Indonesian education, there are three major educational sins that require urgent attention, one of which is sexual violence in educational settings. Sexual violence can be broadly defined as any form of behavior that demeans, insults, harasses, or attacks a person's body parts or sexual functions. Addressing this issue requires special efforts to provide students with a better understanding of the dangers of sexual violence that constantly threaten their surroundings. Therefore, it is important to have reading materials that can serve as reference sources for students to explore further information regarding acts of sexual violence, one of which is through the development of a pocket book. The results of this activity include the design and creation of a pocket book entitled "Protect Together: A Pocket Book for Understanding Sexual Violence Against Children." The pocket book was then socialized to students of SMP Negeri 4 Ternate City. The socialization activity began with a pre-test related to students' understanding of sexual violence. This was followed by a presentation of material related to the pocket book's content, and finally, a post-test. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test, students' knowledge increased to 80% from the initial 25%. This demonstrates that the activities successfully increased students' knowledge about sexual violence. It is hoped that these activities will reduce sexual violence, especially within the school environment.
