Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the implementation of the Role Play method in improving students’ speaking skills at the eighth grade of UPTD SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsitoli Selatan. The study was conducted through Classroom Action Research (CAR) consisting of two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. The speaking skill indicators evaluated included pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. In Cycle I, most students did not meet the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM) of 75%. Only two students (7.5%) achieved the “good” category, eight students (30%) were in the “sufficient” category, while seventeen students (63%) remained in the “poor” category. These results indicated that students faced difficulties in speaking due to limited practice, lack of confidence, and challenges in pronunciation. The researcher addressed these issues by providing targeted pronunciation practice and encouraging students to prepare more thoroughly. Significant improvement was observed in Cycle II. The Role Play method enhanced student engagement and reduced anxiety, resulting in better speaking performance. Five students (19%) reached the “very good” category, twenty-one students (75%) were categorized as “good,” and only two students (7.5%) remained in the “sufficient” level. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of the Role Play method effectively improved students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh beban akademik terhadap kesehatan mental mahasiswa. Beban akademik mencakup berbagai aspek seperti jumlah pelajaran, tugas, dan materi yang harus dikuasai dalam waktu yang terbatas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kuantitatif untuk mengumpulkan data yang dapat diukur secara numerik. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 32 mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris semester 6 di Universitas Nias. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden sering merasa stres dengan beban akademik yang tinggi, yang berdampak signifikan pada kualitas tidur, kecemasan, kelelahan mental, dan perasaan putus asa. Temuan tersebut menekankan pentingnya pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi beban akademik dan perlunya solusi yang efektif untuk mengelola stres akademik guna meningkatkan kesejahteraan mental mahasiswa.
