Abstract

Abstract This study aims to describe the writing competence of grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 3 Tanjungpinang through the analysis of English recount text. The method used was descriptive qualitative with data collection through interviews with English teachers and documentation of students' writing. The results showed that students' scores varied greatly, ranging from 10 to 100. A total of 31.8% of students obtained very good grades (90-100), which shows that some students have mastered the material well. However, 36% of students were in the less and very less categories, indicating that many students had difficulty in writing recount texts. Factors influencing the difference include learning style, motivation, as well as the support of the learning environment at home. Teachers also revealed that learning tends to be monotonous with minimal use of visual media and collaborative activities. This finding indicates the need to apply more varied and contextualized learning methods, such as genre-based approaches, the use of visual media, and active learning. In addition, special attention and remedial programs for students with low scores are needed to improve their writing competence. Synergy between teachers, schools and parents is also important to create a supportive and inclusive learning enviromental.

Abstract

The increase in synthetic dye waste from the textile industry causes significant environmental pollution, prompting the need for environmentally friendly dye alternatives. One potential source is the bark of the Rhizophora mucronata mangrove tree, which is rich in tannins and phenolic compounds. This article describes the socialization and training activities on the use of mangrove bark as a natural dye in ecoprinting with an innovative combination of pounding and steaming techniques in Bintan Buyu Village, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands. The implementation methods included socialization on the basic concepts of ecoprinting, introduction to the ecological and economic potential of mangroves, and practical training on ecoprinting. The training process included mordanting fabric with alum, basic dyeing using mangrove bark decoction, leaf printing (pounding), and color fixing (steaming). The pounding technique produced clear and detailed leaf motifs, while the steaming technique increased color fastness to prevent fading. The results of the activity showed high enthusiasm among participants, as seen from their active participation in discussions, practice, and the quality of the works produced. The participants' ecoprint products featured a combination of natural brown colors with sharp and aesthetic patterns of various leaves. This activity succeeded in increasing the community's knowledge, skills, and awareness of the sustainable use of local resources. The combined pounding– steam technique has proven effective in creating environmentally friendly ecoprints with good pattern quality and color fastness, while also opening up opportunities for creative businesses based on the potential of local mangroves.
