Abstract

The focus of teaching English at schools, especially for beginners is to build vocabulary knowledge in addition to language skills and components. To achieve the goal, KIM Strategy can be implemented, which becomes the topic of this paper. Hence, this paper aims to review the related literature on the implementation and implication of KIM Strategy for vocabulary teaching. This is a library research, in which two types of data were presented. They were  primary and secondary data. The primary data was obtained from the original work of Kristen Vibas (1970), the proponent of the KIM Strategy, entitled KIM: A highly effective strategy to build vocabulary across any content area. Whilst, the secondary data were collected from journal articles published in the past 10 years, 2014-2024. The results revealed that the KIM Strategy is effective in improving students’ vocabulary knowledge due to its teaching principles that support various principles of inquiry learning, self-directed learning, and social learning. The KIM Strategy is also a strategy for enhancing logical, convergent, and divergent thinking skills.

Abstract

The Implementation of Genre-Based Approach in Writing Narrative Text aims to examine the effectiveness of the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) in enhancing narrative text writing skills among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. The research method employed is quasi-experimental with two groups: an experimental group applying GBA and a control group that did not receive this treatment. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure students' writing skill improvements. The findings indicate that the average score of the experimental group increased from 54.55 to 73.62, while the control group improved from 40.07 to 64.15. In addition to score improvements, the quality of students' writing also showed enhancement in aspects of content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. This study provides evidence that the Genre-Based Approach can significantly improve students' writing skills.

Abstract

Mastery of grammar, particularly subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense, remains a persistent challenge for Indonesian EFL learners due to structural differences between English and Bahasa Indonesia. Traditional methods often fail to foster deep grammatical competence. In response, this study explores the effectiveness of integrating self-assessment (SA)  as a reflective learning strategy to enhance grammatical accuracy. Employing a quasi-experimental design, this study involved 38 third-semester English education students at a public university in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Participants were divided into an experimental group (n=18) that received SA-integrated grammar instruction and a control group (n=20) that received conventional instruction. Over eight sessions, students in the experimental group engaged SA activities using SA guidelines and reflection tasks while learning subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense. Pre- and post-tests were administered, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests.  The findings revealed that the experimental group's learning achievement outperforms its counterpart, with mean post-test scores of 17.17 and 13.15, respectively. The T-test results confirmed a statistically significant difference in grammar achievement between the groups (p<0.001), favoring the SA-integrated instruction. These findings suggest that SA is an effective strategy for improving student grammar outcomes in using subject-verb agreement correctly This study underscores the value of SA as a practical and impactful approach in EFL grammar instruction and supports its integration into learner-centered curricula, particularly in alignment with Indonesia’ Kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of flashcard games in improving the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 Palu. A quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design was employed. The participants consisted of two purposively selected classes: one serving as the experimental group, taught through flashcard games, and the other as the control group, receiving conventional instruction. Vocabulary tests were administered before and after the treatment to assess students’ improvement. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test at the 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the experimental group (79.42) and the control group (67.31), with a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05). These results indicate that the flashcard game effectively enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery. The use of visual and interactive media, such as flashcards, facilitated better word retention, understanding, and recall through dual coding of verbal and visual information. Moreover, the game-based activities increased students’ engagement and motivation during learning. In conclusion, flashcard games provide an effective and enjoyable medium for improving students’ English vocabulary mastery. It is recommended that English teachers integrate such interactive media into classroom instruction to foster more meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This research focuses on effectiveness of Think-Pair-Share (TPS) method for developing speaking or communicating skills of SMK Negeri 1’s tenth-grade culinary arts students. This research applied a quasi-experimental design with a pair of different kinds of groups: experimental and control. The experimental group was obtained treatment by implementing Think-Pair-Share method, while the conventional approach was used to teach the control group. Pre and post-tests assessed students' speaking skills regarding accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility. The findings revealed that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) method significantly increased students' speaking proficiency, as seen by a mean score increase in the experimental group from 40.15 to 51.50. The Mann-Whitney test proved major differences between each of the groupings (p < 0.05). Indicating the TPS improves speaking proficiency. The data indicate that TPS (Think-Pair-Share) is such a successful cooperative learning strategy which increases student engagement, reduces speaking fear, and improves communicative competence in English.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effect of self-assessment on grammar teaching and learning, by analyzing how students identify and correct errors related to the use of simple past tense in their own work. A quantitative approach was used in this study by using a quasi-experimental design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a test, which was divided into two: pre-test and post-test. The population in this study was the ninth grade of MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu, where class IX C was the experimental group (n=21) and class IX B was the control group (n=18). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test due to the study data was not normally distributed. The results demonstrated that there was an increase in learning outcomes in the use of simple past tense in the experimental group, compared to the control group. It was shown by calculations using the SPSS 24 software system where the Sig (2-tailed) value = 0.000 < 0.05, which means that the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. In summary, this study indicated that self-assessment has a significant impact on enhancing students’ ability in simple past tense. The findings offer a new perspective for students, teachers and future researchers in enhancing English language teaching and learning.

Abstract

Eglish is an international language widely used in education, work, and intercultural communication. Speaking fluency is a crucial component of speaking skills because it enables learners to convey ideas smoothly and spontaneously. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the HelloTalk application in improving students’ English speaking fluency. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two classes: an experimental group taught using HelloTalk and a control group taught using conventional methods. The data were collected through pre-test and post-test speaking assessments and analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The findings revealed that the mean post-test score of the experimental group (68.5) was higher than that of the control group (62.25), with t-count (5.85) exceeding t-table (2.002), indicating a significant difference. These results suggest that HelloTalk is effective as a learning medium for improving students’ English speaking fluency through interactive and authentic communication.
