Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of using descriptive texts to improve English vocabulary acquisition at SMP Negeri 2 Hiliduho. Motivated by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, which hinders their comprehension and writing of descriptive texts, the research employs a descriptive qualitative approach involving seventh-grade participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that descriptive texts provide meaningful context, aiding students in understanding and retaining new vocabulary. The inclusion of media such as images and videos further supports vocabulary learning by enhancing engagement and comprehension. Despite these benefits, challenges persist, including low motivation, repetitive instructional methods, and insufficient use of media, which limit students’ ability to relate new vocabulary to real-life contexts. Nevertheless, students expressed generally positive perceptions, noting that descriptive texts made learning more interactive, enjoyable, and useful for vocabulary development and writing improvement. The study recommends that teachers regularly integrate descriptive texts with visual aids and interactive strategies to foster greater student motivation and participation. These findings contribute to the advancement of more effective and engaging English language teaching practices at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis penggunaan artikel "a" dan "an" oleh mahasiswa semester enam di kelas B Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di Universitas Nias. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kesalahan umum dan memahami penyebabnya. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian campuran, menggabungkan data kuantitatif berdasarkan tes isian dan tes benar-salah dengan data kualitatif dari hasil wawancara. Analisis kuantitatif mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun banyak siswa memahami aturan dasar, kesalahan sering kali muncul dari kesalahpahaman fonetik. Data kualitatif dari wawancara menyoroti perlunya pelatihan fonetik yang lebih baik. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun tingkat pemahaman yang tinggi, penggunaan artikel yang tidak tepat masih sering terjadi. Kesimpulannya menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengajaran yang ditargetkan yang berfokus pada aturan fonetik sangat penting. Studi ini menyiratkan pendekatan pengajaran, termasuk latihan tambahan dan metode inovatif untuk memperdalam pemahaman siswa dan penerapan artikel yang benar.
