Abstract

Literacy is a fundamental skill that is very important in the field of education, especially for students in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the understanding of 7th and 8th-grade students regarding the importance of literacy, the challenges they face in improving their literacy skills, and to provide recommendations for enhancing literacy programs in schools. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with semi-structured interviews conducted at SMP N 15 Medan. The results of the study indicate that although students are aware of the importance of literacy, they face various challenges, including low reading interest, lack of access to quality reading materials, and minimal environmental support. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more effective literacy strategies in schools through the suggestions and implications provided in this study. Keywords:;;;.

Abstract

This study aims to develop interactive anecdote-based teaching materials using the Flipgrid application through the ADDIE development model and to evaluate their effectiveness in improving high school students’ speaking skills. The main challenges in anecdote learning include students’ limited ability to understand implicit criticism and their lack of readiness to present anecdotal texts orally. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method supported by classroom observations, teacher interviews, documentation of students’ Flipgrid video recordings, researchers’ reflective notes, and a perception questionnaire administered to 15 students. The developed materials consist of a learning module, video models, script-writing guidelines, recording instructions, and a performance rubric. The results indicate that Flipgrid significantly enhanced students’ speaking fluency, intonation clarity, expressive gestures, and self-confidence. Questionnaire data reinforced these findings, showing high approval rates for improvements in fluency (86%), confidence (80%), multimodal expression (93%), and usability of the teaching materials (90%). Furthermore, Flipgrid’s re-recording feature and peer feedback fostered a reflective and collaborative learning environment. Overall, the interactive materials proved effective in supporting speaking skill development and align with the principles of the Independent Curriculum, which emphasize creativity, authentic learning experiences, and project-based performance.
