Abstract

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using Word Wall media in improving vocabulary mastery of grade eight students of MTs DDI Lonja Sigi, Central Sulawesi.  This is a quasi-experimental research design, involving 33 students selected through total population sampling technique.  To collect the data, paper-and-pencil method with tests (pretest and posttest) was used. Result indicated that there was a significant difference between students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the intervention. With ρ=0.05 and df=31, it was found that the tcounted value of 9.21 is higher than the tcritical value of 1.696. This means, the research hypothesis is accepted. In other words, using Word Wall media can improve vocabulary mastery of grade eight students of MTs DDI Lonja Sigi.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the Pair Work Technique could improve the speaking skill of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two classes: Class VIII Albert Einstein as the experimental group (n = 31) and Class VIII Habibie as the control group (n = 27). Both groups were given a pre-test and a post-test to measure students’ speaking achievement. The instrument used was an oral speaking test assessed through a fluency-based scoring rubric. The treatment was conducted over six meetings in the experimental group using structured pair work activities, while the control group received conventional instruction. The pre-test results showed that students in both groups had low speaking ability before the treatment. After the implementation of the Pair Work Technique, the experimental group demonstrated greater improvement than the control group. The post-test results showed that 27 of 31 students in the experimental group met the passing criterion, compared to 17 of 27 students in the control group. The independent samples t-test showed that the obtained t-value (2.79) was higher than the critical t-value (2.009) at the 0.05 significance level with 56 degrees of freedom. The findings indicate that the Pair Work Technique significantly improved students’ speaking skill. Therefore, Pair Work Technique can be considered an effective strategy for developing students’ speaking fluency through increased practice, interaction, and participation in the classroom.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine how effective the Mind Mapping technique is in improving students’ reading comprehension by employing a qualitative library research approach. The data were gathered from five earlier studies conducted between 2018 and 2023 that explored the use of Mind Mapping in reading instruction. These studies applied a range of research designs, including Classroom Action Research, pre-experimental, and quasi-experimental approaches. The data were analyzed through content analysis in order to explore recurring patterns, as well as similarities and differences across the findings. The findings of this study suggest that the Mind Mapping technique contributes positively and significantly to students’ reading comprehension. The results demonstrate steady improvement in students’ reading performance, a higher proportion of students meeting the minimum mastery standards, and increased engagement throughout the learning activities. Mind Mapping enables students to structure and represent information visually, which supports their understanding of key ideas, supporting details, and the connections within a text. Furthermore, the technique encourages active participation, cooperative learning, and the development of higher-level thinking abilities, such as interpreting and assessing information. The study also indicates that the effectiveness of Mind Mapping largely depends on how well teachers facilitate and integrate the technique into classroom practices. In general, Mind Mapping can be considered a practical and efficient instructional strategy for improving reading comprehension. Therefore, it is advisable for teachers to incorporate this technique into their teaching in order to foster a more engaging and meaningful learning environment.
