Abstract

This study investigates the use of the Story Face Strategy to enhance students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts at one of public junior high school in Padang. The research was motivated by students’ difficulties in understanding narrative texts, particularly in identifying the main idea, characters, setting, conflict, and resolution—common challenges faced by eighth-grade students. The objective of this study is to determine whether the implementation of the Story Face Strategy significantly enhances students’ reading comprehension. A one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design was employed, with instruction delivered using the strategy across multiple sessions. Data were collected through a 25-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test administered before and after the intervention. The results showed a notable enhancement in students’ performance, with the average score increasing from 53.5 (pre-test) to 76.9 (post-test). A paired sample t-test confirmed the statistical significance of this improvement at the 0.05 confidence level. These findings suggest that the Story Face Strategy is effective in helping students understand narrative elements and can serve as an engaging and structured method for enhancing reading comprehension in junior high school contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Flower Writing Strategy in improving tenth-grade students’ writing skills. Employing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design, the research was conducted at a vocational high school in Padang. A total of 35 students from Class X Culinary 1 were selected as the sample through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a writing test administered before and after the treatment. The collected data were analyzed using a t-test to examine the research hypothesis. The results revealed that the calculated t-value (3.442) exceeded the critical t-table value at the 0.05 significance level (1.692), indicating a statistically significant difference between students’ pre-test and post-test scores. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. These findings demonstrate that the Flower Writing Strategy has a significant positive effect on students’ writing skills. The study suggests that this strategy can serve as an effective instructional approach to enhance writing performance in EFL classrooms, particularly at the vocational high school level.
