Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in the mastery of simple present and past tense, especially in the writing aspect, between the tenth-grade students learning using the EGRA technique and the Lecturing technique at MA Ushuluddin Singkawang. This study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The study population is 150 students, and the sampling technique is cluster random sampling. We selected the participants from two classes of tenth-grade students from MA Ushuluddin Singkawang academic year 2023/2024, dividing them into the control and experimental groups. This study employs a test that consists of a pretest and a posttest. In this research, the data analysis technique was MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variances). In the findings, the researcher indicated that each test showed a significant result. Finally, the researcher employed MANOVA to address the hypothesis testing. The researcher discovered a significance level of 0.00, less than 0.05, in the results, leading to the acceptance of Ha1, Ha2, and Ha3, and the rejection of H01, H02, and H03. The conclusion is that there is a difference in the mastery of simple present tense and simple past tense, whether one by one or simultaneously, especially in the writing aspect, between the tenth-grade students who are learning using the EGRA Technique and the Lecturing technique at Ma Ushuluddin Singkawang.

Abstract

This mixed methods study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in incorporating local legends into English language instruction in West Kalimantan. Using an explanatory sequential design, the research examined how AI-enhanced culturally relevant materials affect English proficiency and student engagement during a one-month intervention. The study involved 30 students from a high school in Singkawang, divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data collection included pre- and post-tests measuring language proficiency and engagement surveys, while qualitative data came from semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvement in the experimental group's language proficiency (p < .001, d = 0.85). Thematic analysis identified enhanced cultural connection, improved engagement, and positive technological integration as key factors in student success. The findings suggest that AI-driven integration of local legends enhances language acquisition and cultural awareness while fostering deeper student engagement with learning materials. This research contributes to understanding technology-enhanced culturally responsive pedagogy in language education, with implications for curriculum development and teaching practices in culturally diverse contexts. Future research opportunities include examining longer-term implementation effects and applications across different cultural settings.
