Abstract

Some first-grade students of SMKN 1 Pemalang still have difficulties in arranging words when they produce texts. Vocational students generally focus more on their vocations such as computer network engineering, visual communication design, etc. This impacts their ability to string words in English related to applying derivational and inflectional morphemes because they are meaningful in composing sentences according to their meaning and function. So, this research aimed to discover the types and errors of derivational and inflectional morphemes found in the authentic-recount texts made by vocational students. Fromkin’s theory was used to analyze data using descriptive qualitative method. It revealed 5 types of derivational and 3 types of inflectional morphemes were used by students when creating authentic-recount texts. Additionally, learners still make errors in applying those morphemes into sentences of the recount texts with a total of 38 errors, including 5 derivational morphemes and 33 inflectional morphemes. Thus, students are required to understand more about the function and meaning of words before constructing sentences because it plays a significant part in writing English texts. Further researchers are advised to conduct deeper research that focuses on reconstructing sentences, especially in implementing suffixes or other materials which are included in morphology subject.

Abstract

Children’s education required support from their learning contexts, both at school and at home. Teachers and principals provided instructions and guidance at school, while parents provided indispensable support to their children’s education. Their perception and insight related to their children’s education were critical to their success. This qualitative study aimed to discover parental perspectives on elementary school children’s English drama performance and how their perspective was paramount to the success of their children’s learning. This study involved 42 parents of elementary school students. Data was collected using a self-report questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Data was analysed using Interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). The results show that three co-related pillars were important to achieve learning objectives: students, teachers, and parents. To support their children, parents needed to respond and perceive how teachers educate their children. Collaboration between teachers and parents was indispensable. The findings suggest parental agreement that English drama performance improved their children’s English skills, despite the complication that came with the activities. In general, parents perceived English drama performance as an essential part of their children’s English skills development. The parental perspective helped English teachers set a better teaching technique to achieve the learning objectives, review, and consider the appropriate learning strategies for the following school year.

Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the challenges in punctuation usage among Libyan EFL secondary students, with the primary objective of identifying specific types and underlying causes of punctuation errors in their writing. A qualitative descriptive methodology was employed, involving a sample of 20 first-year secondary students at Zlitin Central School who participated in narrative writing tests. These tests were specifically designed to identify and categorize punctuation errors. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four experienced English language teachers from the same school to gain deeper insights into instructional practices and their perceptions regarding students' punctuation difficulties. Data analysis included thematic analysis techniques, resulting in the identification of three main categories of punctuation errors: omission, misinformation, and addition. Among these categories, omission errors, particularly the omission of commas, were most prevalent, reflecting significant gaps in students' punctuation understanding and application. Interviews revealed critical contributing factors, including linguistic interference from the students' first language (Arabic), insufficient explicit instruction regarding punctuation rules, limited practical writing exercises, and a general lack of awareness of punctuation's role in effective written communication. This study highlights the necessity of targeted instructional strategies and curriculum improvements aimed at addressing these challenges. Recommendations include integrating explicit punctuation instruction into the Libyan EFL curriculum, employing error analysis techniques in classroom activities, and enhancing practical writing exercises and feedback mechanisms. By focusing on these pedagogical interventions, educators can significantly improve students' punctuation proficiency, thereby enhancing their overall writing skills and academic performance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the potential of mind mapping methods to enhance seventh-grade students' vocabulary mastery at SMP Negeri 32 Semarang. This research was motivated by students’ difficulties in remembering new vocabulary due to monotonous and teacher-centered methods. By using mind mapping in a visual format, students were encouraged to arrange vocabulary systematically and build stronger word relationships in descriptive writing. A quasi-experimental method was used, involving class VII G as the experimental class and VII B as the control class. Data were collected using both pre- and post-tests in multiple-choice format. The results were analyzed using tests for normalcy and homogeneity, validity and reliability, and a t-test with SPSS 21. The findings show that the experimental class improved from a mean score of 69.67 to 81.67, while the control class improved from 63.00 to 79.67. The t-test result Sig. 0.000 < 0.05 confirmed a significant difference between both of the groups. The results imply that applying mind mapping yields better outcomes than traditional strategies in developing students’ vocabulary skills.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into language education has introduced adaptive, interactive learning experiences that enhance student engagement, particularly in English language instruction. For vocational students, strong communication skills are essential alongside technical competencies. However, challenges such as limited speaking exposure, low self-confidence, and high anxiety persist, often intensified by traditional grammar-focused teaching methods. This study investigates the effectiveness of AI-supported Duolingo in enhancing speaking skills and reducing speaking anxiety among 64 students at SMKN 1 Kunduran, a vocational high school in Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were analyzed using ANOVA and ANCOVA, while qualitative insights were gathered through student interviews and analyzed via MAXQDA. Results show that Duolingo significantly improved students’ speaking skills such as their vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency, with the experimental group consistently outperforming the control group. The platform’s AI-driven speech recognition and instant feedback mechanisms fostered a low-anxiety environment, increasing learners’ speaking confidence. Student perceptions further highlighted Duolingo’s ease of use, engaging gamification, and collaborative learning benefits. Nevertheless, the study reinforces the importance of real-life speaking interactions to achieve comprehensive fluency.

Abstract

Writing is one of the essential skills in learning English; however, many students face challenges in organizing ideas coherently, using correct grammar, and maintaining motivation to write. These difficulties often arise from the lack of engaging and relevant teaching strategies. In response to this issue, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of visual-based techniques, namely mind mapping and picture series, in enhancing students' descriptive text writing skills. This research adopted a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. Two groups of students—experimental and control—participated in the study. The experimental group was taught using visual techniques (mind mapping and picture series), while the control group followed conventional methods. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to evaluate the students' writing performance before and after the intervention. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in descriptive writing skills compared to the control group. Specifically, mind mapping helped students systematically organize their ideas, while picture series provided visual stimuli that enhanced creativity and engagement. Statistical analysis demonstrated that both techniques effectively addressed students' writing challenges and boosted their motivation. The study concludes that visual-based teaching techniques are beneficial in improving students' ability to produce well-structured, coherent, and engaging descriptive texts.

Abstract

Academic supervision is an important factor in ongoing professional development efforts to improve the quality of learning. This study aims to describe the implementation of academic supervision by the principal in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SD Negeri 06 Tegalsari, Pemalang Regency. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with the principal, class teachers, and subject as teachers as subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that academic supervision is implemented through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation and follow-up. In the planning stage, the principal collaboratively involves teachers in developing objectives, schedules, and supervision instruments. Supervision is carried out in a humanistic and reflective manner, emphasizing dialogue and professional mentoring, rather than merely administrative supervision. Evaluation is carried out through joint reflection and follow-up in the form of ongoing coaching that encourages teachers to improve learning practices. The implementation of academic supervision has been proven to improve teachers' pedagogical competence in designing teaching materials, selecting appropriate learning strategies, and conducting meaningful learning evaluations. Thus, planned, collaborative, and reflective academic supervision can be a strategic instrument in developing teacher professionalism and improving the quality of education in elementary schools.
