Abstract

This study aims to evaluate how effective the Canva-backed demonstration method is at enhancing the students' procedural text writing abilities, while also outlining how it is applied and uncovering the challenges students face. A mixed-methods framework incorporating a sequential explanatory strategy was deployed in this investigation. The participants of this study were 40 tenth-grade students of MA An-Nur Cikalongwetan. The quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test, while the qualitative data were obtained from classroom observation and questionnaires. The findings based on the quantitive data revealed a significant improvement in the students’ writing performance, as indicated by the increase in the mean score from 65 in the pre-test to 78 in the post-test. Outcomes from the paired sample t-test yielded a p-value below 0.05, confirming that the intervention led to a statistically significant shift in outcomes. Meanwhile, classroom observations demonstrated gradual improvement in students’ participation and engagement, while questionnaire results indicated that the integration of the demonstration method and Canva positively supported the students’ learning. However, some difficulties remained, particularly in grammar, organization of ideas, and confidence. Overall, the demonstration method assisted by Canva is effective in improving the students’ writing skills and promoting active learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop audio-visual narrative text materials to improve the listening skills of tenth-grade students at SMK Kesehatan Surya Global Cimahi. It was motivated by students' difficulties in understanding spoken narrative texts, particularly in recognizing vocabulary, pronunciation, and main ideas. This was compounded by limited classroom listening practice, which typically relied only on teacher read-alouds or simple audio recordings lacking visual support. As a result, students received minimal contextual aid and showed low motivation to engage in listening activities. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), involving 16 tenth-grade students and two expert validators. Data were collected through observation sheets, expert validation sheets, a product try-out observation sheet, and an open-ended questionnaire. The resulting product was an animated instructional video integrating English narration, visual illustrations, subtitles, and animations. It was deemed feasible for classroom use, with a feasibility rate of 75.9%, and successfully encouraged students' active participation in listening activities. Qualitative findings showed that audio narration, visual illustrations, and animations helped students understand narrative texts more easily and made learning more enjoyable. Despite some technical limitations, the developed materials proved to be a feasible and engaging resource for EFL listening instruction.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an interactive worksheet using the Wordwall application to teach descriptive text reading to seventh-grade students. It was motivated by students' low engagement and limited comprehension of descriptive texts, caused by conventional, static worksheets offering little interaction or visual support. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Participants were 25 seventh-grade students at MTs Cisasawi, West Bandung Regency, selected through total sampling. Data was collected through expert validation sheets, classroom observation, and student response questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively using percentages. The product was a nine-part Wordwall-integrated worksheet comprising a cover page, learning outcomes, objectives, material summary, usage instructions, three QR-code-linked exercises, and a reflection section. Expert validation showed an overall feasibility score of 77.08%, categorized as "Feasible." The student response questionnaire, given after both limited and field trials, yielded average scores of 70.75% and 72.10% respectively, both classified as "Good." These findings indicate the Wordwall-based interactive worksheet is feasible and well-received by students as a tool supporting reading comprehension of descriptive texts. This study contributes a validated, classroom-ready learning material and offers practical implications for EFL teachers seeking interactive alternatives to conventional reading worksheets.
