This research aims at finding out the use of crossword puzzle in improving vocabulary mastery at seven grade students of SMP Negeri 10 Palu. This research applied a quasi-experimental design, in which there were two groups, an experimental and a control group. Seven grade E was the experimental group, while seven grade F was the control group. This research involved 50 students of SMP Negeri 10 Palu. The samples of this research were taken from the population of grade seven students by using a purposive sampling technique. The researcher used tests as the instrument for collecting data. The tests were divided into two; pre-test and post-test which were given to the experimental and control group. The treatment was conducted six times and was given to the experimental group by using a crossword puzzle, while the control group used the other technique. The data obtained from the test were analysed statistically. From the analysis, there was a difference between the achievement of the experimental (85.5) and the control group (44.2). It was based on the hypothesis testing done, by using 0.05 level of significance and 48 degrees of freedom (df), the researcher found that t-counted (6.08) is higher than t-table (2.0126). It means that the hypothesis (Ha) is accepted or in other words, the use of crossword puzzles has a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes in learning vocabulary.

This research delves into the profound narrative artistry of Graham Greene's "The Power and The Glory" by analyzing 10 selected similes representing five types based on XuoGuo's classification. The simile types include Descriptive, Illuminative, Illustrative, Open, and Closed Similes, each contributing uniquely to the novel's thematic tapestry. Utilizing a qualitative method, the research systematically categorizes and scrutinizes similes, identifying prevalent types, and unraveling their patterns and thematic implications. Descriptive similes, comparing a shark's fin to a periscope, enhance vivid imagery and introduce concealed dangers. Illuminative similes, equating knowledge to a dark explicable spot in an X-ray photograph, provide nuanced insights into character understanding and thematic depth. Illustrative similes, likening a gold bangle to a padlock, introduce visual metaphors and layers of meaning. Open similes, like having golden shoes, infuse imaginative qualities into actions, while closed similes, comparing a man to Prometheus, draw explicit parallels, enriching characterizations with mythological undertones. This research identifies a total of 47 similes within the novel. By shedding light on the intricate use of similes in "The Power and The Glory," this research contributes significantly to understanding Greene's stylistic choices, serving as a valuable resource for scholars, literary enthusiasts, and those exploring the depths of figurative language in Greene's masterful storytelling.

This research aimed to discover the reflection of schizophrenia syndrome in Joanne Greenberg’s I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and the reasons why Joanne Greenberg wrote the novel. The research used a descriptive method. The data were divided into two categories: primary data and secondary data. The primary data consisted of the main information taken from the novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. The secondary data included the biography of the author and related literature, such as books and online sources, to support the analysis. The data were collected by reading the novel several times, analyzing its dialogue and themes, noting dialogues related to schizophrenia syndrome, and studying the historical background of the author, Joanne Greenberg. In analyzing the data, the researcher applied a genetic structuralism approach, focusing on both the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the novel. The results of this analysis showed that Deborah Blau, the main character, suffered from schizophrenia syndrome due to her environment. She experienced hallucinations and delusions, which indicated paranoid schizophrenia. She received treatment through psychotherapy administered by her doctor in a mental hospital. Joanne Greenberg wrote the novel to depict the reality of life for people with mental illness. Additionally, the novel was inspired by her personal experiences, which she transformed into the story.

The development of scientific articles has dynamically improved, including in the English disciplines. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between using the Academic Word List (AWL) and the ranking of journals in English studies in Indonesia, with a particular focus on writing characteristics. Given the growing importance of academic vocabulary in language learning and the pivotal role of writing in academic success, this research aims to provide insights into how academic word usage correlates with journal quality. This study itself is quantitative research. 180 articles from 18 Sinta-accredited journals were analyzed using an electronic text analysis approach. The journals were chosen proportionally based on their Sinta’s rank. AntConc is used as the main application to analyze the lexical richness of the articles. The findings reveal that the overall lexical richness of the articles is 7.23%, with AWL words comprising 4.04% of the total vocabulary used. Despite these findings, statistical analysis indicates no significant correlation between the frequency of AWL usage and the journals' rankings. These results suggest that while AWL contributes to the lexical profile of academic writing, it does not directly influence journal ranking. Reasons could be assumed regarding these findings, such as journal’s editorial policies, authorial preference, and disciplinary variations. This study enhances our understanding of the elements of high-quality academic writing and offers valuable insights for teaching and learning academic writing. Teachers and lecturers of academic writing courses could explore and elaborate on AWL’s role in their teaching.

Temuannya mengungkapkan bahwa keseluruhan kekayaan leksikal artikel adalah 7,23%, dengan kata-kata AWL mencakup 4,04% dari total kosakata yang digunakan. Meskipun ada temuan ini, analisis statistik menunjukkan tidak ada korelasi yang signifikan antara frekuensi penggunaan AWL dan peringkat jurnal. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun AWL berkontribusi terhadap profil leksikal penulisan akademik, namun tidak secara langsung berhubungan dengan peringkat jurnal. Beberapa alasan yang diasumsikan menjadi dasar dari temuan, diantaranya kebijakan editorial dari jurnal, kecenderungan gaya menulis, dan ragam disiplim keilmuan. Studi ini meningkatkan pemahaman kita tentang unsur-unsur penulisan akademik berkualitas tinggi dan menawarkan wawasan berharga untuk pengajaran dan pembelajaran penulisan akademik. Para pengajar bagi kelas academic writing dapat secara lebih mengkaji dan mengelaborasi fungsi AWL dalam pembelajaran.Kata Kunci: academic word lis, ranking jurnal, kualitas menulis akademik, kekayaan leksikal

This study explored the dual role of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, examining whether it functioned more as a tool to support comprehension or as a hindrance to fluency development. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved three English teachers and ten intermediate-level students in a bilingual educational context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analysed thematically. Findings revealed that when used strategically and sparingly, code-switching served as an effective pedagogical scaffold, enhancing comprehension, reducing learners’ anxiety, and fostering confidence—particularly among lower-proficiency students. Teachers reported that occasional use of the students’ first language (L1) maintained lesson flow and facilitated understanding of complex material. However, excessive reliance on code-switching was found to limit students’ opportunities to practice English, foster dependency on L1, and impede the development of fluency and communicative competence. These findings underscored the need for a balanced and principled approach to code-switching, where teachers used L1 judiciously to support learning while progressively increasing English use to promote fluency. The study contributed to the ongoing debate on the pedagogical value of code-switching, highlighting its potential as a flexible instructional strategy when applied thoughtfully within learners’ sociocultural and linguistic contexts.

The aim of this research was to describe the effect of the flipped classroom on increasing students’ ability in grammar. This research belonged to quasi-experimental research with a group pre-post-test design involving 50 bachelor degree students from the Islamic Economic Department at UIN Datokarama Palu as the sample. The sampling technique was total sampling with the experimental group (25 students) and control group (25 students). To assess the students’ ability in grammar, four components were measured: accuracy in tense usage, consistency, understanding of tense form, and contextual appropriateness. The students’ scores were classified into five categories: very good, good, medium, low, and failed. After treatment, the grammar ability scores increased for the experimental group. The percentage increased in all aspects: accuracy in tense usage increased by 45%, consistency by 40.6%, understanding of tense form by 31%, and contextual appropriateness by 32.8% from the pre-test scores. The Flipped Classroom model revolutionized the teaching of English grammar, offering practical strategies for implementation, and emphasizing the need for collaborative and independent learning experiences to enhance students' language proficiency and overall learning outcomes.
