Abstract

           This study investigates the ability of sixth-semester students in the English Education Study Program at UMMY Solok (2023/2024) to use affixation in word formation. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the study involved 17 students, divided into two groups through random sampling. Six students participated in a tryout, while ten students were selected as the research sample. Data were collected through a test assessing students' understanding of prefixes, suffixes, and their combinations. The findings indicate that students performed well with prefixes, fairly with suffixes, and poorly when combining prefixes and suffixes. Errors were most common when students were unsure of how to correctly attach affixes to root words. These results highlight the need for targeted instructional strategies to enhance students’ morphological competence. The study contributes to curriculum development and suggests incorporating additional affixation-focused materials and training. Future research may further explore affixation difficulties and their impact on linguistic proficiency.

Abstract

        EFL learners in Indonesia have learned to use English articles since they started learning English. However, English articles pose significant challenges for Indonesian EFL learners due to the absence of articles in Bahasa Indonesia, abstract and complex usage rules, and overgeneralization and transfer errors. This study examines the ability of first-year EFL learners in the English Education Department at UMMY Solok (academic year 2024/2025) in using definite and indefinite articles. Using a descriptive quantitative design, 10 first-year students from English Education Department at UMMY Solok were assessed by using a validated 40-item grammar test. Although the sample was limited, the study offers preliminary insights since it was an exploratory or early stage research. The results revealed that the students’ proficiency level in using both definite and indefinite articles were  at good level. The findings suggest that students have a functional understanding of the basic usage of articles. Students likely demonstrate awareness of noun classification and contextual usage, which are key to article use. This study contributes to curriculum development by highlighting the importance of gradual, context-based instruction in teaching English articles. Furthermore, it recommends that future researches should examine article usage in students’ academic writing across genres or proficiency levels.

Abstract

         This study examines the performance evaluation of Field Practice (PLK) students from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UMMY Solok in 2025 based on assessments from partner schools. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data through structured questionnaires distributed to supervising teachers at partner schools. Six key competency areas were assessed: professional ethics, communication skills, technology integration, teamwork and collegial collaboration, self-development and reflective practice, and teaching competence. The results indicate that PLK students demonstrated strong performance across all evaluated dimensions, with 100% of respondents rating teamwork and collegial collaboration, self-development and reflective practice, and teaching competence as "Good", while ethics and technology integration received 75% "Good" ratings and communication skills achieved 50% "Very Good" and 50% "Good" ratings. No "Sufficient" or "Poor" ratings were recorded in any category. These findings suggest that the PLK program at FKIP UMMY Solok effectively prepares pre-service teachers with essential competencies required in school settings, though continuous improvement in ethics and technology integration remains necessary.
