Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of the Show and Tell (SAT) strategy in teaching vocabulary to the seventh-grade students of SMPN 3 Pujut. Vocabulary is one of the essential components in English learning, and many students still face difficulties in mastering it. Therefore, an appropriate strategy is needed to improve their vocabulary achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in students’ vocabulary mastery between those taught using the Show and Tell strategy and those taught through conventional methods, as well as to find out whether the Show and Tell strategy was effective for teaching vocabulary. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a quantitative approach, using pre-test and post-test instruments. The sample consisted of 56 students divided into two groups: 28 students in the experimental class and 28 students in the control class. Data were collected through vocabulary tests and analyzed using SPSS version 25, including tests of normality, homogeneity, and an independent samples t-test. The results revealed that the experimental groups mean score increased from 61.07 in the pre-test to 89.10 in the post-test, while the control group’s mean rose from 63.92 to 84.28. The t-test value (t0 = 2.024; p = 0.048 < 0.05) indicated a significant difference between the two groups. These findings confirmed that the Show and Tell strategy was more effective in improving students’ vocabulary mastery compared to the conventional strategy. In conclusion, the Show and Tell strategy significantly enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery and made the learning process more interactive, contextual, and engaging. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers implement this strategy in their classrooms to promote active participation, motivation, and better vocabulary retention among students.

Abstract

Fertilizers are essential for the growth and development of plants, and one type of fertilizer is biocompost. Biocompost is an organic fertilizer that combines manure with charcoal chaff. Organic fertilizer is derived from dead animal parts, dung, and other organic waste. The northern village of North Lendang Nangka has a significant amount of potable waste that can be used as one of the ingredients for making biocompost, which is useful for land cultivation and increasing crop production. This activity aimed to utilize livestock waste as biocompost in the northern village of North Lendang Nangka. The methods used in this activity were socialization, biocomposting, quality testing, and packaging of biocompost. Biocomposting was done using an active ingredient to accelerate the composting process, the EM4 bioactive. As a result of the development of biocompost using raw materials from livestock waste and organic materials, people understand the effectiveness of the process used in the northern village of North Lendang Nangka and see that the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium meet the quality of compost according to the SNI 19-7030-2004. The nitrogen in the compost was 0.38%, phosphorus was 0.69%, and potassium was 1.05%.

Abstract

The research was conducted to identify the process types of transitivity systems used in the narrative texts written by English Department Students and to determine which process type of transitivity systems is used dominantly. This research was descriptive qualitative research on descriptive analysis. The research participants were students of the English Department. This research uses three research instruments, namely the researcher himself, narrative document files, and distribution sheet of process types. In collecting the data, the researcher used the documentation method and purposive sample technique to select the data. The data analysis was done with transitivity system analysis, adapted from the lecture of the Functional Grammar course, and then several steps based on thematic coding by Braune & Clark, were applied. The triangulation technique was used to get the dependability of the data through re-checking and expert judgment. The research found that the six process types in each text of the six narratives that were the data sample were not evenly used. Three process types, behavioral, verbal, and existential, are only used in several narrative texts written by English Department Students. Moreover, the six process types of transitivity system are realized in narrative texts written by English Department Students overall. The most dominant process is the material process, which occurs 155 times out of the 346 processes that emerged, followed by behavioral processes (8 or 2.31%), mental processes (100 or 28.90%), verbal processes (5 or 1.44%), relational processes (76 or 21.96%), and existential processes (2 or 0.58%).

Abstract

Grammar is a common challenge in English writing, particularly among 10th-grade high school students, where conjunction errors in recount texts are prevalent. This study investigates the most frequent types of conjunction errors and the factors causing them. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through writing tests, content analysis, and interviews with students of SMAN 1 Gerung. The study identified 32 errors in students' recount texts: 78% in coordinating conjunctions, 22% in subordinating conjunctions, and no errors in correlative conjunctions. Common errors included unnecessary conjunctions, ambiguity, and inappropriate conjunctions for context, which disrupted sentence coherence. Interviews revealed that conjunction errors stemmed from students' lack of understanding, forgetfulness, and insufficient teaching at school. While some students knew the function of conjunctions, others lacked basic awareness or had not been adequately instructed, particularly within the school curriculum. The findings highlight the importance of targeted teaching strategies, practice, and feedback to improve students' conjunction usage. This study underscores the need for explicit instruction and regular training in conjunctions to enhance recount texts' clarity and organization. Teachers should provide detailed explanations and constructive feedback, while students are encouraged to engage in self-editing and structured exercises. The results offer valuable insights for educators and learners to address conjunction errors and improve writing proficiency in English.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental research examined the impact of the Quizlet application on students’ English vocabulary mastery at SMPN 3 Praya Tengah, a rural junior high school located in Central Lombok, Indonesia. The study was conducted in response to students’ limited vocabulary knowledge and the insufficient use of interactive digital learning tools. Thirty seventh-grade students participated and were assigned to experimental and control groups. A 30-item vocabulary test focusing on the topic “Personality and Skills” was administered as both pre-test and post-test. The experimental group underwent five instructional sessions utilizing Quizlet’s interactive modes Flashcards, Learn, Match, and Test while the control group received conventional instruction. The test instrument was validated by expert reviewers, and its reliability coefficient, measured through Cronbach’s Alpha, was 0.87, indicating high internal consistency. Data were processed using SPSS 26, including tests of normality, homogeneity, and an independent samples t-test. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups (t(28) = 3.57, p = 0.002, d = 0.80), resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis (H?) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H?). These findings demonstrate that Quizlet effectively enhances students’ vocabulary mastery, learning motivation, and autonomy. The results also align with retrieval practice and gamification theories, confirming that Quizlet can serve as an effective digital medium for improving vocabulary acquisition, especially in rural educational settings with limited access to technology This suggests Quizlet can be integrated into junior high school curricula to promote autonomous vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki efektivitas aplikasi Memrise dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata kata sifat di antara siswa kelas delapan di SMPN 1 Kediri. Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah rendahnya penguasaan kata sifat dalam bahasa Inggris oleh siswa, yang berdampak pada kemampuan mereka untuk memahami dan menggunakan deskripsi dalam konteks kalimat. Penelitian ini mengisi celah dalam penelitian sebelumnya yang belum secara khusus mengevaluasi efektivitas aplikasi Memrise pada penguasaan kata sifat secara eksperimental. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuasi-eksperimental dengan dua kelompok: kelompok eksperimen diajar menggunakan Memrise, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menerima instruksi konvensional, yang masing-masing terdiri dari 26 siswa. Data dikumpulkan melalui penilaian pra-tes dan pasca-tes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan, dengan skor rata-rata meningkat dari 60,77 menjadi 75,38, sedangkan kelompok kontrol hanya meningkat sedikit, dari 55,38 menjadi 60,77. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji-t sampel berpasangan dan uji-t independen menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan antara kedua kelompok signifikan (p < 0,05). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Memrise lebih efektif daripada metode tradisional dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata kata sifat siswa. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa Memrise dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai perangkat digital yang menarik dan efektif dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di tingkat SMP.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of idiomatic expressions in George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood, focusing specifically on Chapters 1 and 2, by identifying and classifying idioms based on Chitra Fernando’s (1996) theory of idiomaticity. The research aims to determine the types and frequency of pure idioms and semi-literal idioms used in the narrative, and to explore their contextual meanings and narrative functions. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the researcher extracted idioms through manual reading and digital tools, then categorized and analyzed them qualitatively. The findings reveal a total of 44 idiomatic expressions, with semi-literal idioms comprising the majority (79.55%) and pure idioms accounting for 20.45%. The dominance of semi-literal idioms suggests a stylistic preference in Martin’s writing for expressions that balance figurative richness with interpretative accessibility. This study affirms the applicability of Fernando’s theory to literary texts, particularly in the fantasy genre, where idioms play a key role in world-building, character development, and thematic resonance. The results contribute to a broader understanding of idiomatic usage in literature and offer practical insights for learners, educators, and future researchers interested in figurative language analysis.

Abstract

This study investigates the significance of the Small Group Discussion (SGD) method in enhancing students’ English-speaking performance at SMKN 1 Pujut. The research applied a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught using Small Group Discussion and a control group taught through conventional methods. Both groups consisted of 34 students. The data were collected through pre-test and post-test to measure students’ speaking ability, focusing on four aspects: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. The treatment was conducted in three meetings. During the learning process, students in the experimental group actively participated in group discussions, while those in the control group followed traditional teacher-centered instruction. The results were analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups, where the experimental group achieved a higher mean score of 66.76 compared to 53.67 in the control group, with a t-value of -6.717 and a significance level (p) < 0.05. The results indicate that the Small Group Discussion method helps improve students’ speaking achievement and encourages more active and confident participation during classroom interaction.

Abstract

The interplay of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) and speaking confidence are important in the trajectory learning of the English language, and anxiety can lead to diminished students' communication ability and willingness to communicate. The current study explored the relation of FLA, with emphasis on anxiety in relation to speaking confidence, for the students of the English Department of the University of Mataram. The method used was a quantitative correlational design in which two sets of questionnaires on the concept were used to explore the variables. Descriptive statistics were used to derive the mean levels of FLA and speaking confidence, and Spearman's rank correlation was implemented to establish the strength and direction of the relationship. The analysis established three types of impacts of FLA which is cognitive, academic, and social. Overall, the correlation test found evidence of a negative relation between FLA and speaking confidence, implying that increased anxiety decreased the students' confidence to speaking English. The data highlight the need to address FLA around students learning English in the language classroom, in terms of developing students' speaking confidence and communicative competence.

Abstract

This research aimed to test the significant impact of using the Monopoly game on students' vocabulary mastery, specifically receptive English verbs, and to analyze student learning interest perceptions regarding the use of this medium at SDN 5 Praya. The method used was a pre-experimental research design with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design, involving a single experimental class of 20 Grade V A students. The data analysis, which was conducted after confirming the instruments were valid, reliable, and normally distributed, utilized two main techniques: a Paired Samples t-Test and Normalized Gain. The t-Test results showed a statistically significant difference between the Pre-test mean (65.667) and the Post-test mean (83.000), with a highly significant p-value (4.03x10-10). This led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0), confirming that the learning treatment significantly improved students’ learning outcomes. Furthermore, the N-Gain test yielded an average score of 0.58 (58.48%), which falls into the Moderate and "Quite Effective" category. Student perception analysis, based on the questionnaire, showed strong agreement, with 85% of respondents finding the Monopoly game effective in enhancing their learning interest. The findings conclude that the use of the Monopoly game media significantly and effectively improved students' vocabulary mastery while also positively influencing their learning engagement.
