Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis penggunaan artikel "a" dan "an" oleh mahasiswa semester enam di kelas B Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di Universitas Nias. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kesalahan umum dan memahami penyebabnya. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian campuran, menggabungkan data kuantitatif berdasarkan tes isian dan tes benar-salah dengan data kualitatif dari hasil wawancara. Analisis kuantitatif mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun banyak siswa memahami aturan dasar, kesalahan sering kali muncul dari kesalahpahaman fonetik. Data kualitatif dari wawancara menyoroti perlunya pelatihan fonetik yang lebih baik. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun tingkat pemahaman yang tinggi, penggunaan artikel yang tidak tepat masih sering terjadi. Kesimpulannya menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengajaran yang ditargetkan yang berfokus pada aturan fonetik sangat penting. Studi ini menyiratkan pendekatan pengajaran, termasuk latihan tambahan dan metode inovatif untuk memperdalam pemahaman siswa dan penerapan artikel yang benar.

Abstract

This research examines the correlation among religious tourism, the use of foreign languages, and tourist motivation at Bunda Beach and Resort. The background of this research highlights the importance of information in foreign languages in religious tourism destinations which can influence tourists' experiences and motivation. The aim of this research is to understand the dynamics and factors that influence religious tourism, especially the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort. The research method used is a mixed method, with data collection through questionnaires and interviews. The research results show that the use of Latin at Bunda Beach and Resort is not the main factor that attracts tourists. The main motivation of tourists to visit this place is to freshen up, pray and enjoy the religious atmosphere offered by the resort. The conclusion of this study is that although the use of Latin provides a strong religious overtone, this does not significantly influence tourist motivation. Bunda Beach and Resort management can consider adding other elements that are more attractive to general tourists.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the basic skills in learnng English that enables students to convey ideas and communicate effectively. However, many students still face difficulties in speaking due to various factors, such as lack of vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and lack of confidence. This research aims to analyze students' perceptions and the factors affecting their difficulties in speaking English. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of SMP Swasta Kristen BNKP Gunungsitoli with 18 students as participants. The findings revealed that students experienced various difficulties in speaking English, which were categorized into psychological problems (such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, lack of pronounciation, and lack of vocabulary), language problems (including inhibition, nothing to say, low and uneven participation and the tendency to use mother tongue), and other influencing factors (such as physical condition, intelligence, aptitude, and interest). Most students showed lack of confidence and anxiety when speaking English, which led to limited participation during English class. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers to develop more effective and student-centered teaching strategies, and to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to speak actively in English.
