Abstract

Vocabulary is essential in learning a foreign language. This study aims to determine how frequently and how the students feel about the usage of vocabulary acquisition tactics by 22 undergraduate EFL learners. The purposes of this study are achieved by utilizing a descriptive qualitative research methodology. Data for this inquiry were gathered using both questionnaires and observation. Analysis of the interactive simulation developed by Miles and Huberman, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting, was the method of data analysis employed in this study. The study's findings show that students use 17 different vocabulary-building strategies. The vocabulary acquisition strategies that the students in this study selected and used were significantly influenced by their teaching and learning environment, culture, learning preferences, and sources of motivation. Every student has a different learning style that they find most effective in increasing their vocabulary as well as vocabulary.

Abstract

Reading is a fundamental skill in English learning; nevertheless, many English learners encounter challenges in comprehending English texts. Thus, providing students with effective reading strategies is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of semantic mapping on improving students' reading comprehension. Using a quasi-experimental design, the research targeted first-semester students from the Tarbiyah Faculty and Teacher Training at the English Department UINSU, who were specifically selected as participants. Data was gathered using the TOEFL reading test, and analysis was performed with SPSS version 21 IBM, including frequency, mean score, normality test, and nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test). The findings showed that using semantic mapping as a teaching method significantly improved students' reading performance. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed a notable difference between the mean scores of the experimental group using semantic mapping and the control group without it (42.3 > 32.3). Furthermore, the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group's scores from the pretest (29.5) to the post-test (42.3). In summary, semantic mapping seems to enhance students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of using syntax games in fostering students' ability to learn English from the viewpoints of EFL teachers working in a private Islamic junior high school in Padangsidimpuan. The study's findings and the data gathered from a questionnaire showed that the EFL teachers have a variety of ideas about using games to teach grammar that are comparable to those discussed in the current literature. According to the study, although the EFL teachers acknowledge that games are a useful tool for teaching grammar, they do not employ games as frequently as one might anticipate in their classrooms.

Abstract

The study examined the efficacy of employing semantic mapping as a method for comprehending and enhancing students' vocabulary proficiency. This study was conducted at SMA Swasta Al-Fattah Medan in the tenth grade students. This study investigates the implementation of semantic mapping as a vocabulary instruction strategy in English language teaching classrooms at the senior high school level, specifically focusing on Grade X students. Using a qualitative research design, the study explores both teacher implementation practices and student perceptions of semantic mapping through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data were collected from three English teachers and their respective classes over one semester. The findings reveal that students demonstrate positive perceptions toward semantic mapping, with the majority reporting enhanced comprehension and vocabulary retention. Analysis of student responses indicates that semantic mapping facilitates vocabulary acquisition by creating meaningful connections between words and promoting higher cognitive engagement. The research also identifies successful implementation strategies and challenges faced by teachers, including time management and varying student participation levels. The study concludes that semantic mapping is an effective instructional tool that not only improves vocabulary acquisition but also increases student engagement and motivation in English language learning. These findings contribute to the understanding of effective vocabulary instruction methods in English language teaching and provide practical insights for educators implementing semantic mapping in their classrooms.
