Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the factors affecting the low use of English in the internal communication forum of the English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members. This research has the problem of the lack of use of English in internal communication among English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members as its background. Although they are the leading pioneers in the organization of language study programs, their communication still needs to improve in English, and Indonesian is more dominant in their use. This research uses qualitative methods, a case study approach with observation instruments, and semi-structured interviews. The researcher found that members of the English language association still do not use English in communication and discussion forums due to several factors, such as lack of vocabulary, confidence, worry about being wrong, and more comfortable discussing in Indonesian. Even so, the researcher suggested that association members use English more in their discussion forums to become the first step towards being good role models in their study program environment.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of using flashcards as a medium to enhance the English vocabulary of junior high school students. The research method employed is a quantitative approach, incorporating a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the research study were divided into two classes: an experimental class that received a treatment consisting of learning using flashcards, and a control class that did not receive the treatment and continued to learn using conventional methods. The instrument employed was a single-test, which was utilized to assess students' vocabulary skills following the culmination of the learning process. The findings of the data analysis demonstrated a substantial discrepancy in the vocabulary scores of students in the experimental and control classes. The utilization of flashcards as a learning aid has been demonstrated to yield higher test scores in comparison to learning without the use of media. This finding indicates that the utilization of flashcards is an effective strategy for enhancing junior high school students' English vocabulary acquisition. Consequently, flashcards emerge as a viable alternative learning strategy, characterized by its engaging, interactive nature, and ease of implementation in the context of English language instruction in schools.
