This study aims to explore the students’ perception of the use of English as Medium of Instruction (EMI) in teaching and learning at SMA Negeri 1 Kota Gorontalo. This explorative qualitative study employed a purposive sampling method. This study involved 112 twelve-grade students from IPA, IPS, and BAHASA majors of SMA Negeri 1 Kota Gorontalo as the subjects. This study utilized questionnaires for data collection, while the Likert Scale and Percentage Formula were performed in data analysis. The result showed that the students had positiveperceptions of the three EMI types of perception: visual, auditory, and speech perception. The average results in visual, auditory, and speech perceptions were 70.96% (‘strongly agree’ category), 70.49% (‘strongly agree’ category), and 57.90% (‘agree’ category).

Abstract

This research explores innovative strategies to improve students' vocabulary mastery in English language teaching. Utilizing cognitive skill-based approaches, such as the "working with words" strategy, the study aims to create an effective and engaging learning environment. The research employs various methods, including observations, document analysis, recordings, and treatment procedures. Initial observations indicate that students possess a reasonable level of cognitive skills, providing a foundation for vocabulary acquisition. However, subsequent assessments reveal a decline in vocabulary proficiency, prompting the need for intervention. To address this issue, cognitive skill-based strategies, such as the "category game" and "contextual reading clues," are applied in the teaching process. These strategies aim to tap into students' intellectual capacities, motivating independent learning. Post-treatment results show significant improvement, with the contextual reading clues strategy leading to a remarkable 91.30% increase in vocabulary proficiency. In conclusion, cognitive skill-based strategies have a substantial impact on students' cognitive behaviors and vocabulary acquisition. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating vocabulary learning with reading exercises, continuous assessment, and progress recording. It underscores the significance of vocabulary mastery for language proficiency and calls for the integration of such strategies into language teaching practices.

Abstract

Improving education quality for the 21st century necessitates a strong focus on English Reading Comprehension for Academic Purposes (REAP), particularly in higher education. This competency is essential for enabling students to engage with global information and meet the demands of a competitive, interconnected world. Therefore, enhancing reading comprehension in English is vital, especially by employing a strategy that is innovative, creative, and effective. The Case Method Strategy, rooted in Problem-Based Learning (PBL), is identified as one of the most effective approaches to elevate REAP competencies. This strategy fosters creative thinking, inquiry-based learning, and problem-solving skills, allowing students to analyze academic texts critically. Within the REAP course framework, which aligns with Outcome-Based Education (OBE), the objective is for students to develop metacognitive abilities to interpret complex academic texts at an advanced level. To support the Case Method Strategy, complementary techniques, such as Inquiry Method and Discovery Learning, can be integrated into REAP learning. This study aims to present a comprehensive model for implementing the Case Method Strategy to improve REAP outcomes. Ultimately, the findings contribute valuable insights to English Language Teaching (ELT) by offering an effective, alternative teaching technique that enhances applied linguistics and reading comprehension in university-level education.

Despite extensive research on TOEFL reading comprehension, there remains a gap in practical, context-specific interventions tailored to Indonesian EFL learners. This study utilizes a mixed-methods approach to address this gap. First, a needs analysis was conducted through surveys and interviews to identify key difficulties. Subsequently, various instructional strategies, including vocabulary enhancement and reading strategy training, were implemented and evaluated. The results indicate that targeted interventions significantly improve students' reading comprehension skills. The findings contribute to the broader field of language education by providing practical solutions for educators and students to navigate the hurdles of TOEFL reading comprehension.Keywords: TOEFL, reading comprehension, vocabulary mastery, instructional strategies, EFL learners, Indonesian context.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms and strategies of verbal bullying that affect the speaking performance of students at SMA N 2 Tilamuta. The method employed is a qualitative approach, utilizing case studies that involve observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data were collected from nine students who experienced verbal bullying. The findings indicate that verbal bullying takes the form of name-calling and hurtful comments about English proficiency. The impact of this bullying included increased anxiety and decreased motivation to learn, which hindered students' ability to speak English. Students employed various strategies to cope with bullying, including focusing on self-development, disregarding negative comments, and seeking social support from friends and teachers. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of creating a safe and supportive learning environment to enhance students' speaking skills and mitigate verbal bullying. This research provides significant insights for educators and policymakers to develop effective interventions in linguistically diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the application of the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) technique can improve students' reading skills in narrative texts. The study sampled 30 students from class IX-4 of SMPN 4 Gorontalo. To collect data, a multiple-choice test was used adapted from various fairy tale stories, including "Why Frogs and Mosquitoes are Enemies," "Unhelpful Friends," "The Hungry Mouse," "The Lion and the Mouse," "A Proud Tiger," and "A Cat and a Fox." The study employed a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. Results show that the mean score of the pre-test was 14.47, while the mean score of the post-test was 19.4. The hypothesis testing revealed that tcount ≥ tlist with a value of 18.84 2.048, indicating that the research hypothesis (H1) is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) technique can improve the reading skills of class IX-4 students at SMP N 4 Gorontalo.
