Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using a genre-based approach as a learning method in teaching and improving students' writing skills. This study uses a quantitative method, using pre-test and post-tests as data collection techniques. The subjects of this research were the eighth graders of SMP Dharma Lestari, Salatiga. The results obtained were that the average score of students on the pre-test was 71.44, while the average score of students on the post-test was 76.04. This shows an increase in students' ability to learn to write by as much as 6.4%. Research has shown that the genre-based approach can be effective in improving students' writing skills, particularly in terms of organization, coherence, and clarity. By focusing on the features of different genres, students can learn how to use language to achieve specific goals and how to adapt their writing to different contexts and audiences. Therefore, it can be concluded that the genre-based approach is an effective method for teaching and improving students' writing skills.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the microsystem environment on students’ English achievement in a pesantren-based junior high school setting. The microsystem, as part of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, includes the students’ immediate environments such as family, peers, teachers, and school infrastructure, which are considered crucial in shaping their academic performance. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 151 junior high school students in two pesantren-based schools through a validated questionnaire and their English exam scores. The analysis was conducted using simple linear regression. The findings reveal that the microsystem environment has a significant and positive effect on students’ English achievement (R² = 0.152, p < 0.01), this indicates that 15.2% of the variation in students’ English achievement is explained by their microsystem environment. The regression coefficient indicates that a more supportive and engaging microsystem is associated with higher English proficiency among students. These findings suggest the need for pesantren-based schools to enhance supportive and engaging environments to optimize students' academic success, particularly in English language learning.
