Abstract

This research endeavors to assess students' proficiency in English grammar pertaining to the past tense through a comparative analysis of their pre-test and post-test scores. Employing the innovative snowball throwing learning model as the intervention strategy, this study aims to augment students' grammatical competence in the past tense. The research methodology adopts a classroom action research approach conducted across two cycles. The subjects comprise Grade X students in the secretary class of the first state Vocational school in Manokwari, selected through purposive sampling from four classes. Research instruments include a reading test, observation sheet, and lesson plan. The initial data analysis of the pre-test yields a result of 29.2, indicating a classification in the poor category. However, following the implementation of the snowball throwing model through two cycles (treatment one and treatment two), noteworthy improvement is observed. Treatment one yields a result of 60.3 in the fair category, while treatment two results in an average score of 80.2, classifying as "Good." Importantly, this score serves as the post-test score. The findings underscore the efficacy of the snowball-throwing model in enhancing students' grasp of past tense grammar

Abstract

The objective of this scholarly investigation is to discern the extent of eighth-grade students' engrossment with English textbooks at SMPN 27 Manokwari. The researchers employed a sophisticated research design by implementing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative approach facilitated the systematic tabulation of data into numerical formats, while the qualitative methodology served to articulate and expound upon data devoid of numerical parameters. The participants in this erudite exploration comprised 20 eighth-grade students enrolled at SMPN 27 Manokwari, with the data collection tools encompassing meticulously crafted questionnaires and insightful interviews. Through meticulous data analysis, the research findings unveiled a noteworthy elevation in the students' ardor for perusing English textbooks, categorizing their interest as notably elevated. The diligent endeavors undertaken by the students in assimilating the contents of English textbooks encompassed practices such as preliminary readings before scheduled lessons, dedicated perusal within the precincts of the library, in-depth examination within the confines of their homes, and the proactive measure of seeking elucidation from the instructor when faced with incomprehensible subject matter. This intricate exploration not only gauged the students' proclivity for English textbook engagement but also illuminated the multifaceted strategies employed by them to fortify their understanding of the material at hand.
